Going and Going and Going...

Wow! I feel like we have been going nonstop. Every weekend we have either been going to Tampa for different reasons (family, etc.), doing church events, or planning youth events and we have barely slowed down to take a breath. Some people have asked how Judah has coped with all of it but I keep telling them, "If all He knows is a busy lifestyle then he won't know any different." Judah has been great. When we get in the car and go...He just rolls with the punches. We are so blessed to have such a good baby boy. Here is our last daddy/son outing to IKEA that we took today. I can't help to take some photos on our trips. Here are some extra photos that we took on our last trip to Tampa. This is in an open field next to an RV dealership off of I-4. They modeled this marketing scheme after the "Cadillac Ranch" in Amarillo, Texas. Here are the photos...

Fun With Fonts!

I use Photoshop quite a bit and I love it when I find great resources for fonts. If you do any kind of graphic design then you know that fonts are a large part of the design process. I found a new font resource this week and I thought I might share it with the readers. It's a site called VTKS.com. He is a free lance designer and he has quite a few FREE font downloads on his site. He is also listed on other font sites such as FONTSPACE.com. Here are some other sites I frequent when looking for the latest and greatest fonts; DAFONT.com & SIMPLYTHEBESTFONTS.com. Happy Downloading. Once you start...It will be hard to stop....

Just a couple of "Design Hints:"

1. Don't get too carried away when using fonts in your work. Limit your designs to 2 fonts each. In rare situations you can use more but if too many different fonts are used then your design work will loose it's impact and will also make your work too busy and difficult to read.

2. Don't load all your fonts at once. If you store all of your fonts all at once you can cause your computer to run slower than usual. Like I said, you can get carried away downloading fonts and if you go too crazy your computer has to load and search through all of those fonts when using your programs, such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Final Cut Pro Studio, and etc.

Here Are Some Font Design Possibilities:

Back to Blogging

Well it has been a long time since my last post and much has happened; good and bad. To catch you up to speed, here is what has been going on in my life. Lots of my family made their way to Orlando to participate in the dedication of our amazing Judah Avery Johnson. It was a bittersweet moment for my whole family. We were so proud of our baby boy and we were so ecstatic that our family made the trip to join us in his dedication. But after the Sunday service we all went out to eat at Mimi's Cafe and as we were leaving, my Nana Bussell (grandmother) suffered a really severe stroke. In a previous post I wrote about the moments Judah met all of his great grandparents. Well, my Nana Bussell was not in that post because he had not yet met his Great-Nana Bussell. Judah's dedication was only the second time she got to see him. She met him just a couple days before that at our friends wedding shower. My Nana Bussell has been such an inspiration to me in all that she has done. She has been such a shining example of what a marriage relationship looks like and what it should be. She and my grand-daddy were married for so many years until he past and they both raised some of the most amazing girls that I know; including my Momma. We are just asking that everyone continues to keep her in your prayers as she goes down a long road of recovery. We know that God is more than able to heal her body and restore her health.

Well, our son's dedication hasn't been the only celebration we have enjoyed over the past couple of weeks. I also had the amazing privilege of marrying a childhood friend (Robert Noland) in Sarasota, FL this past weekend. It was the second wedding I have ever performed; the first being my other childhood friend, Eric Long. Funny enough, they have both been outside weddings. The first, being on the beach and the second, being under a massive oak tree on a golf course. It was such a beautiful wedding and it was so good to see so many friends and family that I haven't seen in years. Not that they wanted to see me....Judah took the spotlight in all of the conversations. Now that you have been caught up to speed and my life has slowed down a bit maybe I can get back to posting some more blogs. Until then, please help me pray for my Nana, Shirley Bussell's recovery.
