Walked 4 1/2 miles today. Well I walked 4 and ran 1/2. It felt really good and I'm glad that I'm doing this. I talked to the boys today about going to the gym and they are really excited about it. Bishop is going to go with us on Tuesday to show us which exercises work which areas. Can't wait! Next summer I'll be running around with my shirt off for once. lol. I'll be posting my weight every Sunday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The house is okay. Fortunately we got to it before the house exploded. THANK GOD!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Need to get to my homework. I'm a huge procrastinator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm getting my new camera in a few weeks so here is what I need to buy:
1- Light set
2- Backdrops
3- Props
4- Photoshop CS4
That's still a lot but I'll get it eventually. If anyone wants to get me anything for Christmas, or my birthday, or anything you can get me money so I can put it towards my equipment. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My girls are being super hyper today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I mowed the lawn today. I don't think it's been done since Shai's birthday lol.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well that's all for today.

Day 1
Yesterday was the first official day of exercise. Not to be confused with the first day of dieting, which won't start until the next trip to the grocery store. Mom, with her inspiration for the amazing show Biggest Loser, decided to get a walking group going. So mom, Casi', Tammy, aunt Barb, Lis, and I went to Walker Park and walked 2 hours. Just getting together with a group of people made me decide that I really want to get back into the gym. So, hopefully if all goes well Bishop, Alex, Austin, Brandon, and I will be going to the gym on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, while Lis goes with the girls. I am actually really excited to start working out again and I love that I get to do it with my family. I love hanging out with just the guys, and what better way than working out together getting in shape as a family. I really hope that it goes well and doesn't fall through.
So here I go posting to everyone to see, just so it can slap me in the face every time I read it and push me to lose the weight. At 21 years-old and 6'3" I should weigh between 148-199 pounds. That is the healthy weight range that I should be at. Unfortunately I'm not there. As of this morning I weigh 220.2 pounds. Up 22.4 pounds just from February of this year. That is an unhealthy amount of weight to gain in less than 8 months. I know a lot of people will get mad at me that it really isn't that much, but it is to me. At that weight my BMI is currently 27.6. Considered overweight, but not obese.
My goal weight is 180 pounds. 40 pounds. That's not a lot but I just don't have the drive to push myself to do it alone, which is why I am so stoked to do this with people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reminder, Art History Reading Assignments are due by 5:00 p.m. on Friday. I need to get on that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did my first actual studio shoot with models, and I am really happy with the results. It just adds fuel to my passion for photography. I really want to get my own little studio set up just to practice and get my name out there a little bit. I am getting my camera in a few weeks *Nikon D90 DSLR*, and then I just need my set of lights, and Photoshop CS4 and I'll be good to go. I want to work on my props and background collection overtime so if anyone has anything of that sort you should let me know. Also, if you would like me to take pictures of anything in particular just leave me a comment and let me know. I'm pretty sure I set the settings on this so that anyone can leave a comment, whether you have an account or not. I can do anything as long as you give me some sort of notice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maddi has officially outgrown almost all of her 3T clothes in less than 6 months. Geez. So we are going to get a few things for her for now until our money comes in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So .. our house just about exploded. Horrible gas leak. Working to get things fixed now.

Getting things started
I'll first start off with an introduction to me and my family, and then to the purpose of this blog.
My name is Kyle Rodman. I am a 21 year-old returning college student. Last may I earned my accounting degree but decided it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. This semester I decided to go back to school and I am now currently pursuing my photography degree. Photography is an absolute passion to me and I am constantly taking pictures. I currently work as the accounts manager for Midwest Custom RV, my moms and dad #2's business. I have been married 2 years and have 2 beautiful little girls who are my everything. I have a truly amazing wife. Allissa is my rock and I don't know where I would be without her. We have been great friends since middle school, and are the best of friends now. She is one of the most patient, understanding, forgiving, thoughtful person I know. Which she would have to be to be married to me. Then there are my two God-sent angels, Madison Grayce and Shailene Faythe. Madison is my oldest daughter and is 3 1/2 years-old. She is an extremely talkative and intelligent child, with too many pinches of attitude thrown into the mix. She is a very independent child and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Just like her daddy. My youngest is Shailene Faythe and she is a very happy baby. She just turned 1 about a month ago and is now running around the house trying to talk already. She also has her own independence, but loves the attention wherever she can get it. Although she plays really well with Maddi, she loves to torment her at times.
Now that introductions are out of the way, let's get down to business. There are actually a few reasons why I am starting this blog:
1 - I am a busy person, and sometimes I just need something to keep track of what has been done, when things are due, etc.
2 - I want to track my on-going photography career. I will occasionally post pictures that I've taken, or equipment I've bought, things I need, etc.
3 - I am starting to exercise again and I want track my progress. This is a big one for me.
4 - I want to keep everyone updated on how everyone close to me is doing. I will sometimes post memories with old friends, planned trips with family, or any sort of occasions that are going on.
5 - And probably a lot of random rambling. Almost a guarantee. :)
That's all for the introductions and reasons for having this blog.
