So something will be happening with this site... I'm not sure if it will just be a redesign, name change, move, or what, but something will happen to reflect the more current times.We'll keep you posted.J&S

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!So in the spirit of being lazy and not understanding exactly why Blogger tends to place the newer dated photos at the top unlike I prefer, we'll simply go with it... Here is a snapshot of our wonderful Thanksgiving meal - mostly prepared by Stacey! I know! You should have seen it... she had a little table with all the ingrediants and recipes laid out several days in advance...

So it's Monday again already. Middle of September and another Monday. In two weeks Stace and I celebrate our TWO YEAR anniversary (technically we are celebrating it next week)! Isn't that crazy? Two years already! And Porter turns THREE YEARS OLD this month! Wow... Just "wow". I expressed this surprise to a friend and jokingly said that I should go ahead and start getting Christmas presents

As I look over the day's football schedule and open the doors instead of running the AC, I take a long, deep breath, revelling in the fact that Autumn is almost here. Exhale.Summer was busy and hot. We travelled some, lounged a little and worked a lot. I'm still with Duke and still really enjoying the new position. Stacey had an injury back in May or so and was told that running marathons was

So I am three weeks into the new job and whew - talk about a lot to learn fast. Just earlier we were going over...Wait, what? You didn't know that I finally escaped the desktop support dungeon after only 10 years? Yes sir, I'm out.And no, not as a world touring photographer.. dull it down a bit.When Wells Fargo and Wachovia announced their merger I put my resume out on several different IT sites

Well, YES, of course that is relevent! I mean, if you know me or have met me in a casual situation in the last 5 years I have had these boots on (and probably grey wool socks)! Listen to me - THE WORLD THAT I HAVE KNOWN AS A SINGLE MAN IS CRUMBLING! My Jeep has died (after 11 years) and moved on to a better place, and NOW my ASOLOS have BEEN REPLACED! I'm in limbo! Even my futon was replaced last

So before another day goes by I wanted to make sure that I publicly give mucho thanks to my Aunt Charlene and Uncle Don for graciously signing over a car to me. It was an incredible gift and it was very much appreciated.Thank you again!J.

So luckily my wonderful wife talked me into delaying my Wednesday evening departure for TN to an early Thursday morning trip. Had I left on my schedule no telling what might have happened. I had made jokes before saying that I loved it so much that I would drive it until the wheels fell off... Well, it's kind of funny really...You see my friends, the Rhino has died.Yes, a wheel fell off. Okay,

Things around the house have been quiet. Stace's foot is healing nicely (100lb excited dog + rainslick steps + short leash = emergency room visit) and she is excited about getting to run again with her teams very soon.Christmas is just around the corner and we are looking forward to visiting MO for the holiday. I think Stace set up a rental car yesterday, in fact. If you have not submitted any

So it's already been a year since the wonderful wedding in the mountains. As an anniversary present to ourselves we returned and booked the same room we didn't get to enjoy last year as we (mostly me at first) were immediately sick the day after the ceremony. We got up there a weekend late due to A) the RIDICULOUS lack of GAS in the Southeast, B) crappy weather, and C) Stace came down with

It's funny that I was so surprised that it had been 30 days or so since the one before it and here it is almost 60 since that one... Not "funny - ha, ha" more "funny- anvil on the head" kind of funny.Well, we simply cannot believe it has been almost a year since the wedding. It's astounding, really. Cooper is over a year old, Hayden is what, almost 8? Hannah is not a baby any longer and Max is

I mentioned earlier that it was the father of a guy I grew up with who was one of the shooter's subduers earlier, however I was misinformed. It was actually my classmate himself. Thank you Robert for helping keep so many others safe... I truly hope that the horror you and those children experienced can be worked through.

So I just looked up from my annoying work and noticed that it was already the end of July...blink, blink - What the deuce??Has it already been 30 days since the last post? Talk about losing track...Things here are good, though too hot for our comfort. Stace is packing or stuff after throwing a dart into the middle of Vermont on our US map. "Sounds good", she said. She's not one for the heat

So today is my father's birthday. I'm not sure if you remember but he has spent quite a bit of time volunteering for the Red Cross since his retirement. Currently he is in Iowa trying to help people bolster / rebuild enough of themselves to handle everything else they will face in their clean-up. Hopefully he will be home this weekend and I can catch up with him soon.The world seems to be a

So we have a couple of new additions to our flower garden this year. The lillies are from my parent's garden last year and they did not bloom here.. I thought they died off, but this year they came back in multiples. The rose is the first full bloom from a bush we planted earlier in the year. The picture really doesn't do it justice although that is the closest in color I can get it.. That is

We stayed at the Stone Mansion Bed and Breakfast - a 9000 sq foot Victorian/Edwardian style home renovated and run by our adopted grandparents, Jane and Robin. Jane had read our flyers and notes that our friend Sharon dropped off for us before we got there... Oh she did not read them out of being nosey; she read them for accuracy. We were talking with her about our plans and she quickly quoted

Ok, so I think I have the highpoints of our trip to The Land of Sky all collected... Hopefully Stace will fill in any blanks.Let me start by saying that the day before we left for CO we discovered that my debit card had been hacked and a significant amount had been fraudulantly charged to my account. Now that's a way to being a vacation! However we put that on the back burner and left on an early

So for those of you that do not already know, Colorado is simply astounding. Maybe not so much if you're a sand and surf type, but for my rock and stoney self, it was incredible. I'm putting together a long write up of the trip but just wanted to post something quickly here and let you all know that we have returned and are safe and sound. More to come shortly. j.

So last weekend we went to beautiful White Lake, NC as not only did Stace have a team of 18 participants in the Half Ironman, a friend and coworker of mine, Greg Carr, was going to do it for the first time. We had a blast! Man, talk about an incredible place! Forget the beach - I'm heading there in May next year for a week. There are several lakes in the area that were formed by a huge meteor

Justin: That "whooshing" sound I am constantly hearing these days turns out to be Time as it is flying by my head. It's been 7 months since the wedding already. Did you hear me? SEVEN MONTHS. It feels like just a few weeks. A year will have passed before I know it! Oh well, that's good as that means Autumn and FOOTBALL!Last weekend Stace and I went to Nashville, TN. as she had a large team

It seems I'm not caring for the name Dade Street Studios so we're trying to come up with something more fitting/professional. In that ideal I've deleted the work site. So if you have suggestions on a studio name, please feel free to leave it in the comments. We've brainstormed quite a few - Stace is stuck on "Noodle Bowl Studios - A Hodge-podge of Brilliance".We'll see.

Justin: Well, let's see.. what is going on in the lives of the Stacey/Justin couple.... Stace and I are good.. We've had some ups and some downs... My Great Uncle John P'simer recently passed away and as most of you who read this already know, Stace's Uncle Dale has a "Bad Case of the Measles", which isn't really the measles however this is the attitude taken towards it. Please send good juju to

Justin: So we broke down and bought a big person's mattress and box springs today. Next step - bed frame and matching set. WHOO HOO!Notice the futon frame peaking out from underneath... Much to the chuckle of the delivery guys.By the way, if anyone knows where we can get a doggie harness with an air-bag, please send us the info.

Paul and D came over this weekend and hung out with us. They got in a bit late Friday evening after discovering the slowest WAl-Mart cashier in the country... Evidently she works at the Shelby, NC location. We talked for a while over some wine and much to Stacey's dismay I was speaking much more loudly then I realized. You see my poor wife went to bed at 9:30 in order to rest up for her 5:30

Justin: So things have been rather quiet around the Keeling/Irwin household. Stace has been working after hours quite a bit as it is kickoff time for Team In Training (TnT) and there are all sorts of meetings and clinics to help everyone prepare for their upcoming events.Oscar's good, though growing a bit cantankerous in his older age and Porter is, well, just big.

I am not one to really be very excited nor angry over little things and of course by "little things" I mean "things that are not obviously deserving of huge praise or immediate violence". I expect things to happen as they do and should and I forget that other people do not think exactly that same way...For our 4th month anniversary I fixed

So last weekend we met up with a lot of the TN folk to celebrate the holiday and dang if it wasn't a good time. There were some people we didn't expect to see (always a bonus) and a rather incredible amount of good food.

That's right, "All", with a capital "A".So we had our first Christmas as a married couple and it went rather well... There was some home-sickness that was expected, of course, and my lack of enthusiasm in the early morning. In my scoring, "good gifts" do not trump "early morning". It's just how I'm wired, I cannot help it. So on that note we have resolved to do our gift exchange on Christmas Eve

So I've funally figured out how to post quite a few of the pictures from that weekend up somewhere that people can readily view them and that will be through flickr.com.http://www.flickr.com/photos/dadestreetstudios/sets/72157603334424371/Now it's just too bad that most you who check this lil blurp of thoughts were either actually there or have already seen them.

A shot of some blossoms in the front yard. I like this one for its drama, which I am finally figuring out makes a distinctive photograph. Gotta love being self taught. The speed in which one discovers is amazing. (That was sarcasm, by the way)Be safe.

That will send you to other blogs randomly. Or at least click on a site's links on the right to send you off to places they find interesting. After checking in our friend Lynn's site, I

Justin: The more I "blog", the more I can see where people lose themselves in it. The options in which one could voice one's opinions or share one's experiences are rapidly (rabidly?) blooming and prospering. Our page is simple in the scheme of things. It is a pre-constructed layout with blank spots to write words and to drop pictures, however even here I have options to add depth and

Justin: So it seems that even during his years of retirement, my father has become a bit of a celebrity in some circles. Growing up I was always amazed at how many people knew my dad. Between being a news caster, being in the army, working at the flea market with my grandfather, heading the local chapter of the Jaycees, and working his 9 to 5 (usually 7 to 4 when we were young) for some 30 years,

Justin: There is something about Autumn that just fits me and I miss it when it's gone. I don't mind Winter or Spring, and the only thing about Summer that I can tolerate is that after it's gone Autumn will be here. But it's now here, and I'm loving every second of it. Cool weather, fewer mosquitoes, clearer days and nights, American Football with all that that entails, camping... (dreamy sigh)

We are working on putting something together.. as they trickle in, we are piecing an album, of sorts, together. We'll get something going and either will create a Flickr account or just post em all here. It should be soon as my family have not seen the whitewater

Justin: This portion of the show is called "Tooting the Horn of Another" and highlights certain people in our lives who deserve a bit more recognition then they actually receive. This time I would like to introduce you to a good friend of ours, Lynn Paszkiewicz (pronounced "Pass-kah-witz" for you southerners).

Justin: What a wonderful time. This was proof positive that you can indeed pull off a very nice wedding with only six weeks of planning and preperation.We noticed this sign out front on Saturday night, and yes, it is misspelled on both sides. Truly fitting for our little event, I think. My sister did not want me to go rafting on Friday due to all the mishaps that have occurred along the way. I

Justin: It's funny, really... Last week Stace and I found out that there was a slight issue concerning our beloved wedding venue in the mountains. It seems that Monday evening there was a fire in the restaraunt. A small kitchen fire, perhaps? Some smoke damage to the dining hall? Maybe some water damage? No... It burned to the ground. Evidently there was an electrical fire in the attic and well,

Justin: So it's been a while since our last update... Not sure where to start, really. We've been busy. Real busy. It seems every weekend we've been traveling somewhere. We've been to Bristol, Knoxville, Whittier, Bryson City, and just around in general. There has been Mother's Day, Father's Day, Fourth of July, my dad's birthday, my sister's baby shower, a wedding shower for us in MO, and one

A friend of mine for several years, George Washington III is an accomplished baritone with Opera Carolina chorus and a successful voice over actor. This is on top of his being a father of 3 and having a full time job overseeing every PC in the Wachovia bank footprint. Under his belt are numerous opera appearances, charity performances, and even a UPS commercial. You may have heard him on the

Justin: Not too much has been going on... We've been knocking out wedding plans and playing with dogs while trying to maintain some semblence of social worth. I met my family in Blowing Rock, NC over the weekend and came away with a couple of pictures that were not too bad. The small cascade shots and the snowy one were from there. Believe it or not there are some decent falls just off Main St.

Justin: So here is an interesting little tidbit concerning our new puppy, Porter. On the right you see a picture of two chewies. The one on the left is one of the first chewies we gave him; discarded and half eaten. The one on the right is the same type, however he has figured out that he can UNROLL the thing if he works at it long enough and gets the goods without the hassle of eating the hide.

Good morning all,Thought I would pop in and give an update. We had our 2nd training class with Porter last night and he did well. I think we need to get him into a playgroup or to a dog park soon though; he's so excited to be around other dogs that it's hard to keep him focused. Maybe we could get another big dog for him to play with.......Oscar is less anxious this week and we seem to be

Keep in mind that I tend to work in list mode.Porter Update Porter continues to grow everyday but with his sweet temprement, we're more and more happy that we decided to keep him.

So for Valentine's Day I got Stacey some tulips and sunflowers. Friday she was commenting on the intersting lighting through the blinds in the living room and I though I would try a few pictures. I want to go back and redo a couple but these few so far were not so bad.Let me know what you think.Justin

I was walking in a parking lot by I-85 last Monday and saw a bunch of really nice people going into an office and I went up to say hi and jump on them even though they were wearing their nice work clothes. So they made me stay outside until they noticed me running towards the interstate and then they tried to keep me in a back room at their office and finally one sweet girl put me in her car (

Justin: So it’s almost February… How odd is that? Did we just skip over January all together this year? I thought I heard something swooshing by… good thing I have the bills on autodraft.As most of you know, Stace, Oscar, and I traveled during the week of Christmas to Missouri and spent the week with her friends and family. After visiting the Show Me State, we caught up with my peoples for the

Especially since we celebrated it Friday night!Because we are on the road for the holidays, we decided to celebrate our little private Christmas early. We haven't been incredibly festive this year and didn't even have a tree up so in lieu of a real tree, my friend Sharon and I took a large sheet of drawing paper and drew a tree. We even drew tinsel, ornaments and lots of lights. Actually too many

SO to celebrate Thanksgiving, the holiday commerating the first feast of the Pilgrims who escaped the tyranny of British rule, well, we went to a pub called Big Bens'! Now when I first suggested this idea to Justin, neither one of us even sniffed the irony. Most of our friends were out of town, we couldn't make it to Tennesse as Justin was on call and neither one of us wanted to cook a big meal

Okay, so most of you know that I spent my bday sedated (and just let me know if you want to see pictures of my esophagus- I have them!) but it still turned out to be a good day. I awoke in the morning grouchy from lack of coffee and food and while I showered, Justin arranged the first of my birthday treats on my desk, including a card from the Oscar-dog.
