Also if you want a GREAT editor..check out my husband's site:
http://www.dwryan.com
check out my photography business
http://www.myspace.com/dryanphoto
let's see:
i'm a mom, a photographer and digital artiste & i'm happily married to the world's BEST guy. we also have the world's CUTEST and best dog, Canela, a keeshound/shepard mix.
i'm also a jerseygirl, exit 7-7A LOL. i miss the east coast, but for now it looks like los angeles is home. but my roots are still grounded back in new jersey :) joke all you want, but remember, there are worst places to live and die!
this is my online portfolio my site is changing all the time. keep checking it out :)
and now we have a GORGEOUS baby girl! who knew that true love can come is such a loud, tiny, & squirming package?
before: after:
i'm also into learning more about different religions and faiths. this is an ongoing education for me. i am fascinated by the history, the traditions, etc. i respect all people whatever their religous faiths, all i ask is that you respect mine. no organized religion is perfect, remember that, and just because i am catholic, does not automatically make me a stereo-type either :) respect me for who i am and you'll get the same respect back :)
i love to raise money for the national multiple sclerosis society. this is a terrible disease, no cure. i did the MS walk here in l.a., 3 miles, felt great, my team raised over $2,000, not bad for the first time ;) and oh yeah...i have MS :D
the ironic thing is that in the fourth grade i raised money by reading over 100 books for MS and i got a certificate and a little trophy. how knew, huh?
here it is:
basically i give my MS the BIG FINGER. i refuse to let it get me down and out. although there are days when the fatigue is so bad i can't get out of bed. this is why i have such a great husband, he is my rock. he cleans, cooks, laundry, etc. helps me get out of bed and encourages me to do my own thing, the stuff that i love to do. he got me a wheelchair to help me out at events where walking and stopping wears me out and creates a lot of pain. but straight walking without stopping i'm fine..go figure? MS is different is everyone. i mean i can still dance in a club, kwim?
us at comic con in san diego in 2005, and yes, that's MY man wearing a kilt! ;) we're waiting to get into the costume ball, wheelchairs get you VIP seats :D now i need to get david to find the time to paint a flame job on my wheels ;)
so even though i have an incurable disease and sometimes have hard days and need a set of wheels to help me out, don't think for a second that this will stop me from continuing my photography, skiing, etc. and never say..but you look so good! just because i'm not tied to a chair, does this mean i do not suffer, i have a lot of "invisible symptoms that i do not complain about. i mean everytime i hear someone complain how tired they are over literally nothin, i just keep to myself, how hard it is for me to keep going on my bad days and i try not to complain at all. just because i look ok, doesn't mean that i am.
ok, i'll quit my bitchin LOL just remember, have fun, be yourself, and remember, you never know who is in the company you keep!..
