15JUN04: LS and I’s daughter, Juliette Laine, was born 3 months premature with Hydrops Fetalis.

15JUN04: LS and I’s daughter, Juliette Laine, died from complications related to Hydrops Fetalis. She is my angel. She will always be with me.

Those are her actual footprints from birth. It’s been worked on twice and still needs some work, maybe this year.

This post is part #3 of my 52 Weeks project. My goal is to post one self portrait a week throughout all 2010. Let me know what you think.

Ok, so last night Libby and I tweeted this…

Just won a wedding planner and a wedding dress!!! Awesome!!!!

…and…

@lsgagle6 and I have some big news for tomorrow!  Check out the blog (http://blog.jhgagle.com) in the morning to read about it!

So here’s the deal.  Few people have known us long enough to really know where Libby and I come from.  Without telling our whole story, I’ll skip to 2002.  When Libby and I married, we didn’t have the money for an elaborate wedding.  We didn’t have time for a honeymoon.  We chose to have a quick and cheap courthouse marriage.  We didn’t have a honeymoon (in fact, we’ve never had a 1-on-1 vacation together).  We’ve always wanted to have a ceremony with the dress and the cake and the family all around.  Due to deployments, complications, kids and money we have never been able to catch up to our dreams.  We’re finally going to do it.

February 22, 2012

Our 10 year anniversary.  We’re getting married.  The dress.  The cake.  The family.  The registry (hey, it’s our wedding and besides, we didn’t get one the first time!), the (relatively tame) bachelor(ette) parties….  Everything.

Conveniently, Libby won a local contest getting a free wedding planner and HUGE dress discount.  We already know our colors, who we want as photographer.  It’s really gonna happen!

February 22, 2012…put it on your calendar!

Ok, so there’s blogging.  What you see here.  Typically extended essays or posts.

Then there’s microblogging.  Twitter.  Thoughts and one or two sentence messages.  As you can see to the right, it’s not really useful for getting a large post out.

What about the middle?  The “miniblogging”.  The stuff that doesn’t really need a whole post, but is more than 140 characters.  A set of pictures?  A song you heard or wrote?  Maybe even a voice message?  That’s where posterous comes in.

I now have posterous here.  There’s really no need to go there, everything posted there will automatically post here as well.  It’s basically a way for me to send/post everything to one place and it sends it off to wherever it should go.  Pics post to flickr, videos to vimeo.  And it tweets everything I post there also.  I’m going to test it out for a week or two and see how it works out.  I may keep it, I may go back to friendfeed.  We’ll see.

I’m working on revamping this site a little, let me know what you think.
