Who we are.

We've already been working on a blog for the business, but it's not always the best practice to have your personal junk on a spot where clients will see right away, so I'm starting a new one to put all of our fun things that are happening around the house.

If you don't know us well, we're Ben and Lauren. You SHOULD know that part.

We have lots of animals, I mean LOTS. 2 Goats, 8 Chickens, 5 Guinea Hens, 4 ducks, 2 Dogs and 4 cats. There's a gold fish floating around here somewhere too, but I'm not sure which water receptacle it's in right now. and YES... they all have names.

We don't have kids yet, although it would be nice to have at least one. We're thinking about adopting, and we've talked extensively about names for them too. Is that weird?

We run a photography company. It's called Vida Mia Photography. You can go to our website at www.vidamiaphoto.com or myspace.com/vidamiaphotography. It's fun, but DANG it's hard work running that stuff.

We have a studio in town here, but we have been doing a ton of weddings this summer and we haven't had a whole lot of time to spend shooting at the studio. Fall is coming though, and that means we're movin it indoors a bit more often. YEAH!

We like to be out of doors, making, breaking, or exploring things. We enjoy cheap wine, good food and expensive beer. We LOVE family. At the end of the day, they are really the only ones that hang around. They have to. They're genetically bound to us. :D

A good day would be taking a walk, eating some good barbecue and sitting on the porch in our rocking chairs with a glass of wine. We seem probably 50, but that's ok... We don't mind. Maybe we'll seem 25 when we actually ARE 50.

We have roommates, mostly so we can have people to talk with more often, but the extra income also gives us an opportunity to do fun stuff around the house that we might not otherwise be able to do. LIKE -- new flooring and HVAC to come soon.

Anyway -- that's about it for now. Gonna go get some work done.
