2 good things

If you haven't seen Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, you should. It's super.
Also, I just wanted to express my love for Avril Lavigne. (p.s. I love this picture of her)



I haven't listened to her stuff for a long time, and her new stuff isn't too great. However, her old stuff is delightful. I like her albums Under My Skin and Let Go. That's all.

Today's Captures

I took these down the street from my house at one of my neighborhood ponds. It was such a pretty day.

Looking for a Valentine's gift for your man?

Ok, so I'm a total idiot. I bought tickets to a Grizzlies game for Brandon for V-day, and forgot we're going to Big Sky Montana for a ski trip that weekend. The tickets are for Saturday, Feb 21st at the E-Center in SLC. The seats are good and are in the lower bowl. Unfortunately I can't exchange them.

If you want to buy the tickets from me for your man they are only $32 for both. We've been to a few of the games together, and they're really really fun. My contact info is at the bottom of this page.

A little more personal

I usually don't get this personal, but I'm super stressed and need to vent a bit. Here goes:
1.Brandon's internship is ending so we will have no income from him until summer.
2.We have a house.
3.I have been working for a company that I absolutely love and wish they had a full time spot for me, but they don't because they're a newer company. So right now, it's just a few times a month I get to work for them, which isn't going to pay the bills.
4.I just accepted a full time job with another company(that pays much less) that could potentially make me want to pull all my hair out. And p.s. I'll be working all of Northern Utah by myself, so (a) I'll get no days off until June because there's no one to work for me, and (b) I'll have to be on location at 6:30 am every day, even if it's in Logan(2 hours away.)
5. I am supposed to shoot Feb 3-13 for the first company at night. I start training for the second company Feb 3 in the morning and work everyday from then on. Meaning, I will be working from 5:30 am to 11 pm from Feb 3-13. Awesome.
No, not really awesome, that was a lie.

At least there are 2 good things to note:
1.I realize it's a huge blessing that I got a full time photography job(can't complain too much about that.) Especially right now when Brandon's last day is this Friday, and I start next week. I've been praying for something to happen since I knew his job would be ending, and it did. And perfect timing too.
2. I appreciate Brandon working so hard all the time to support us and pay our mortgage. That's a huge weight to carry.

Sorry. I'll try to shorten my future rants.

Website Update and Studio

I've been fighting with my website for a while now. The template I have been using is so touchy. I haven't really gotten the results I've wanted, until now. Take a look at my update and tell me what you think. I think it's a huge improvement, but I'd still love to hear opinions. kiss kiss. Oh, and did I mention I got a whole studio for Christmas from my parents and Brandon? Yeah, it's pretty much wicked.

And a special shoutout to my bff Lyndsey Knight for being such a great model. Love you Bynz!

Oucharoonie

So, last Spring I was playing a little frisbee (one of my favorite things to do) and I jammed my thumb. Not a big deal right. I mean, just think of how many times you've jammed your fingers. Well, I remember this time hurting particularly bad, and ever since then it's been a bit sensitive.
I told my family it had been hurting a little, but everyone concluded that since I could move it and it wasn't black and blue I was fine. Well, right before Christmas, when shoveling season started, my thumb started hurting really bad. Anything I touch, grab, or come near hurts me. My mom finally convinced me to see a doctor and well, my jammed thumb, wasn't just jammed.
It turns out my thumb actually cracked a little when that fateful frisbee hit causing some calcium to leech out. And from that a bone spur formed. Basically, I have accumulated a new bump of bone on my thumb that causes a lot of pain. And what's the cure for this you wonder... Just what I was afraid of. Nothing. My body is supposed to suck it back up over time. Like 2 years time. Great.

Sledding

My cute little pumpkin head

Jenny and Lilly. Lilly lasted about 5 seconds sledding. Maybe next year.

Brandon thought he was hilarious dressing up in my mom's old ski stuff. She had a thing for Aqua back then. Yikes!

Holiday

Ready to pop! My sister Alison is due in February.

Hot Mama! She put on the apron thinking it was bigger. It's for a toddler! It was so freakin' funny!

Christmas Morning

Some Christmas Jenga

We decided to stay at my Mom's on Christmas Eve so we wouldn't have to get ready and drive in the snow Christmas morning. We ended up staying there another 3 or 4 days. It was great.
