We noticed these nasty little blobs sticking out of the sand that would go down every time we got close. Not only that, but they would squirt water as they slunk down below the sand. The boys tried to dig a little to unearth one(as did Brucey, after being squirted by one), but gave up as no one wanted to touch the globby creatures. Luckily we asked a passer- by if he knew what they were, and he did. "Geoducks," (gooey ducks) he told us.

It was extreme low tide so we got to see a ton of crazy things. There were lots and lots of starfish, thousands of live sand dollars, different kinds of crabs, a nudibranch, and geoducks(gooey-ducks. I will do another post about them because they're so bizarre, and disgusting!)<br /><br />One cool thing we discovered was water pockets in the sand. It was so odd. We kept seeing random bursts of water spring up here and there and wondered what the heck was going on. We realized they were coming from little sand mounds that, when disturbed, shoot water 6 feet into the air. It was so fun to find sections with tons of the mounds because we could spray each other(and ourselves.) Brucey sprayed himself many times. It was hilarious.<br /><br />We've made many good guy friends up here. I get to cook for them or make brownies whenever they have days off, and we get together and play games for hours and hours. It's been great. I get sad when they have to go because I know I won't see them again for a week. I'm trying to keep myself busy while they are away. I miss Brandon so much when he leaves. I couldn't help but shed a few tears when they left yesterday morning (for 2 weeks.)

We went, not knowing what it was at all, and found this blow up slip and slide. After running back to our apartment for a swimsuit Brandon was able to have lots of fun with the guys. It was soooooo hot. I, on the other hand roasted my butt off while watching. I know this is totally lame, but I didn't want to get my face wet. Washington has been pretty great except that ever since we got here, my face has been so disgusting! No matter what I do, it just keeps breaking out. I don't know what to do. It's never been this bad in my life. I just keep having to wear more and more makeup to cover it up which, in turn, makes my face even worse. It's a vicious cycle. I was able to play some ultimate frisbee at the party so it turned out okay. The stupid thing is, I'm sure know one would even care if my face was all zitty, but seriously, if my face keeps breaking out, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!!!!</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyiX7lZAjKU-33-MxoOr1ZHEoXBvdy-iz3xJUivy7h_S4VJ5iCjYLinC_Vag1qKtnBUqaZkRyZ01-JoPBrPL-UxxBTP3WeH9FTNMkcrfFpx7q3KoeiYW6VXE7e_j-8s-EwgsNIEzQNMn4/s1600-h/IMG_7741.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

For those of you who don't know my momma, she's a traveler. Period. I don't know how else to say it other than we usually need vacations from our vacations. We like to see as many things as possible as fast as we can. Don't misunderstand me, this is not a bad thing. I love it. Because of her, I've been able to see so many things and experience so much.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">So on our drive up, I was disappointed for most of the journey. I was expecting a lot more green and started to get discouraged. Then all of a sudden, it was like we'd driven into Twilight. For reals! We were magically surrounded by vast foggy forests and it started to rain. That's when things got exciting.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">While my mom was here we went to: </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Gig Harbor, Point Defiance, Tacoma(Glass Museum), Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park(where we saw a bear 20 feet away from the road ancd nearly hit a number of deer,) Marymere Falls, Forks(yes really, read more below,) Hoh Rain Forest, Ruby Beach, and Seattle(Aquarium, Space Needle, Pike Place Market.)</span><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">All that occurred in 4 days.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The majority of those happened on one day</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">. The grand near-impossible adventure around the Olympic Peninsula. I didn't think it was physically possible to see everything we did and drive that far in one day, but as I mentioned before, I was with my mom. That was </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">463</span> miles on a one lane slow highway (25 mph through towns.) Just the driving time for all the places we went that day, not including the time we spent at each location, was... ready for this... <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">11 hours 25 minutes</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Yes. It was a very long, very successful day.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We didn't even plan on going to Forks, but it just happens to be on the highway along with Port Angeles and La Push. It's so weird! One cool thing happened while we were in Forks. We had stopped for lunch and shopping there briefly and were on our way out of town when my mom got a call. Since it's illegal to talk on your cell phone while driving in Washington we pulled over immediately. While my mom chatted I looked over to my left, and there, down the road, was Forks High School! We of course had to drive over and take about 20 pictures before I was satisfied.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">p.s. one more fun fact about Forks, they do Twilight tours! The Twilight tour bus driver honked and waved at me while I was taking pictures of the "Welcome to Forks" sign. They go to Port Angeles, Forks, and La Push. Isn't that funny?</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhegBcMgAi-4IFTRIoouh_w2cR8xEyA4LALxtPm32VuG90jVGbVd7gFfLwCTbazkHasc1geWNsiwhM5pQXMo3OVeBJGM7bFFd94pMP6f8AZEPnp5vBzHUl0qkjI8Ce6-Iyjy2fjzZXFpbA/s1600-h/Untitled-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhegBcMgAi-4IFTRIoouh_w2cR8xEyA4LALxtPm32VuG90jVGbVd7gFfLwCTbazkHasc1geWNsiwhM5pQXMo3OVeBJGM7bFFd94pMP6f8AZEPnp5vBzHUl0qkjI8Ce6-Iyjy2fjzZXFpbA/s400/Untitled-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341069750575245954" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Everything is green and gushy here!

I burst into tears whenever anyone asked about him, which was super embarrassing since it was Easter and I was surrounded by people all day. Overall, my family wisely steered clear of the subject so it wasn't too terrible. <br /><br />I was trying to be really positive about my job before, but now I can't stand it. It's the only thing keeping me from being with my sweetheart, and I hate it! I just want to be done already. I feel bad because I can tell I'm not shooting as well or as fast now. One nice thing is my mom's going to drive up with me to Seattle and stay for a few days to do fun stuff. She's pretty rad like that. And, right after my last day of work we're going to Vegas for the weekend to shop and play. And since my birthday is that week, it'll be a nice present for me. So things aren't really that bad. I just have to stick it out for a month. yeash.Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02227465590777493978noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056275351513988948.post-29212030421256050932009-03-31T14:47:00.004-06:002009-03-31T15:00:42.768-06:00A Fun Thing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLAGho7KmZL0tvPio8G221StdzfxiwHd-YTmI5EPgZwf0wM23RPGQm8oRX-F9zTcLVcLjrX4F9tJVy8ZdOIRQZVWq1eck2yvPSH-LzUpMFZnU9UeCec1TKxkRnNZeQVcNt4-3KOJpOdYo/s1600-h/web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLAGho7KmZL0tvPio8G221StdzfxiwHd-YTmI5EPgZwf0wM23RPGQm8oRX-F9zTcLVcLjrX4F9tJVy8ZdOIRQZVWq1eck2yvPSH-LzUpMFZnU9UeCec1TKxkRnNZeQVcNt4-3KOJpOdYo/s400/web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319457722113178850" border="0" /></a><br />So I've been getting fun Twilight shirts from this website, CafePress.com, and I wanted to find a fun Harry Potter one. Surprisingly, they don't have many. So I decided I would design my own and have it printed from that site. Here's my design. I quite like it considering it's what I named my photography blog a year ago. I'm just getting a v-neck white tee I think and it will have the griffin stamped on the back, small, just below my neck. The best part about designing my own shirt is, it's cheaper than the ones already on there! Awesome! You should try it!<br /><br />p.s. Obviously, my shirt doesn't say my name on it. I just didn't want anyone to rip off my sweet design.Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02227465590777493978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056275351513988948.post-83087105775150948552009-03-31T14:32:00.004-06:002009-04-01T08:09:51.546-06:00Did I mention...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJSlobog5ujSLKwPpoYmAoSO5yWj2iWj2UImESa6usAsFLpAn7jwIpQ5KjYLf9Ipa4TXb63eenNcZ_arwFUPes9WBNlsTMuhZ6F7N0ptA-lJbgvFzVL30xn3QGYXx9tNb0sRv2HJ7ar6A/s1600-h/seattle.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJSlobog5ujSLKwPpoYmAoSO5yWj2iWj2UImESa6usAsFLpAn7jwIpQ5KjYLf9Ipa4TXb63eenNcZ_arwFUPes9WBNlsTMuhZ6F7N0ptA-lJbgvFzVL30xn3QGYXx9tNb0sRv2HJ7ar6A/s400/seattle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319455757277360530" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">We're moving to Seattle for the Summer?...</span><br /></div><br /><br />Well now you know. Brandon leaves in a week and a half, and I will join him May 13ish. I have to finish my seasonal job. Blah! I want to go now!(picture me stamping my foot like a two year old.)<br /><br />I'm about peeing my pants thinking of all the amazing pictures I'll be able to get up there. I've asked for a camera backpack that fits 4 lenses, 2 camera bodies, and a tripod for my birthday. It even has a rainfly that pops out of the bottom. Neato burrito.

I wondered for a moment if I'd dreamed it. I then felt prompted to look out the window because someone needed me. I'd never had a prompting like that before so I slowly went to the window. I didn't see anything strange so I closed the blinds. I then felt another prompting to look again. This time, I noticed a tall ladder propped up against a neighbor's house and at the base of that ladder was a man. The man was lying on his back with a backpack on and seemed to be awake. It kind of looked like he was working on a car because he was right in front of an SUV. A second passed and I decided he had to be the one who cried help because there was no one else around.<br /><br />I threw on some sweats and a ratty t-shirt and sprinted across the street. I asked if he'd fallen (which ended up being a 15+ ft fall) and he said he had. He was clearly stunned and scared, and so was I. Unsure how hurt he was I didn't know if we needed an ambulance or not. Then he pulled his hand from his jacket and it was smeared with blood. That was it. After a couple minutes of discussion I decided it would be best to call.<br /><br />The EMTs came only moments later and whisked him off. I felt odd just standing there watching (especially realizing that I was in sweats with no shoes, and probably had mascara smeared across my face.)<br />The paramedics didn't say much to me. The man's wife arrived and thanked me and that was it.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Now the Deja Vu part:</span><br />My dad fell off his roof a year and a half ago and I was the first one to get to him. He was lying in bed (it's amazing that he could get inside with all his injuries.) When he saw me come in, he lifted his head off the blanket. To my horror, there was a bowling ball sized blood stain where his head had been resting. That was when I lost it.<br /><br />You always wonder how you will react to something like that. I didn't do so well, but then, it was my dad.<br /><br />My sister and Brandon came over to help and an ambulance was called. He ended up breaking multiple ribs, cracked 3 vertebrae, permanently lost his sense of smell (from hitting his head on the concrete,) and various other small injuries. I still get pretty emotional when I talk about it.<br /><br /><br />But I'm really thankful that I was listening (in more ways than one) this morning, and I'll remember this experience for the rest of my life.<br /><br />p.s. Thanks Liz(my sweet neighbor) for bringing me a coat and shoes while I was standing with the paramedics. It was really cold out there, but I didn't want to leave him.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">And p.s.s. The man had one broken vertebrae and a scraped hand. Nothing too serious. He should be fine. Thank goodness.</span></span>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02227465590777493978noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056275351513988948.post-14691053411172743522009-03-17T15:08:00.001-06:002009-03-17T15:16:38.439-06:00I'm a suckerAnd I like it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">I'm am so addicted to Twilight it's ridiculous. I needed something to listen to on my way to work every morning(since it's insanely early and my commute is 30-90 minutes each way,) so I started listening to New Moon. Again. Okay, so I've only read it once before(which I absolutely hated by the way.) This time around however, I'm head over heals for it because I know what happens after. But I just wanted to say I'm WAY excited for the movie to come out Friday. I'm sure I'll be one of those crazy girls going to the DVD opening party Thursday night(how could you not, so much fun merchandise!) And, I've already picked out another Twilight shirt for my birthday.

Today is one of those days. Here's why:<br /><br /><br />1)A complete stranger just emailed me about shooting her wedding. Yeah!<br /><br />2)A guy from the Utah Grizzlies just gave us free hockey tickets for no reason. This is super awesome since I bought Brandon hockey tickets for V-day and we weren't able to go and just lost the tickets.<br /><br />3)Brandon has been so sweet and extra helpful lately. Love him!<br /><br />4)I decided that instead of hating my job I would be positive and try to enjoy it. Since then, I've worked so must faster, gotten tons better, and am sad when I have to leave my kids everyday. They've been giving me hugs and kisses when I leave. Tender. Not only is it giving me valuable work experience, but it's preparing me for when I have my own babes. Sweet!<br /><br />xoxoAmberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02227465590777493978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056275351513988948.post-44282081899629269492009-02-27T15:19:00.002-07:002009-02-27T15:19:59.034-07:00One More<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpbBFcOFbzwS33MK6Ox7awHBt6ti_UtyrxXx7MF6zKMZPfO0fEAmyxFDiL2lvsrtYHzjvsCXHW9emWceMpPSNAGBz7-WsYXezza4qVdE6WKoCOEVDtUgpAkgmhyphenhyphen5jTTzgFyyaspMAi0y4/s1600-h/IMG_6569+CR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
