Happy Birthday to my mom!

On Monday, October 27th, my mom celebrated her birthday...Yeah!!!

Dave and I sent her an Edible Arrangement as a surprise. But it doesn't compare to last year. Dave and I, along with the help of my family, threw her a surprise 50th bash. I decorated a portable potty chair, played pin the part on the old fart (like pin the tail on the donkey), we covered her car in old people quotes, and enjoyed food and drinks with good friends. Since I did not have a blog up and running, here are some pics from last year.

looking for a videographer?

Sling & Stone Productions is up and running. Yeah! Looking for a videographer for any of your party needs? I have the one for you...just visit www.slingandstonepro.com and you will find the newest and best in town. They offer a variety of videography needs, from weddings to buisness advertising. Dave has worked really long and hard on this site...he calls it his baby.

Please pray for this endeavor of his. We need guidance and strength to put a new small buisness into motion, especially in this economy. He is excited, and so am I, to finally use all his talents and college education. It is quickly becoming his passion. Keep us in mind, and tell your friends.

Oprah's furry friend

I am a regular Oprah watcher (well, from the TIVO), and I fell in love with this adorable dog, named Maggie. She can add, subtract, multiply, and count. She is so funny! Dave and I got a good laugh out of it. Here is the sight if you want to check out Maggie. (But let's face it...she is not as cute as Roxie).

Dave's new endeavor

Most people don't know...here's the official launch...
Dave just started a new small buisness. He and two other guys, who went have known since college, have begun Sling & Stone Productions. Byron Sharp is one partner, who worked with Dave on many movie making assignments at Southeast, and now a fellow coworker at Charter. Ryan Maurer, a long time friend, is the other partner. Ryan was in Dave's fraternity, Theta Xi, and was the one the introduced us to each other almost 7 years ago. All three guys have video production degrees and are now really putting them to good work.
This is a side job for now. Dave and the others are still keeping thier 'day jobs', but are using this business as a tool to expand their horizons and hopefully it can really take off one day.

Sling & Stone Productions, a title chosen to describe the story of David and Goliath, is a video production company, in which they are taping weddings, birthdays, sporting activities, family moments, and buisness needs. For example, they have a wedding lined up in October, and they have secured the deal for making the buisness video for United Services for the Handicapp.

If you know Dave, you know his determination...his drive to do well...and his need to never quit. This is a great opportunity for the guys...and hey...I got an awesome new computer out of it.
