Memory Tag

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

A memory found

Nearly 3 years ago, I had an assignment to take a self portrait for Photo 1. Brandon and I were dating so I had him shoot the pictures. Not great poses I realize. I made prints then for my class, but totally forgot about the shoot. Realizing today that my new printer scans film, I was anxious to dig up some old negs to test. Here are a couple of the shots from way back when. I love the lighting in the picture on the right. Anyways, just thought I'd share. Click picture to enlarge.

The things we do while we're waiting...

Today my dad, Brandon, and I helped my sister and her husband pack up their house to move. The boys went on a run to the storage unit to drop a load off while the gals stayed back to pick up pizza. I was curious to see how a lamp she had would light a shot so I told her to pose. This is what she did. Not great lighting, but I thought I'd share this embarrassingly silly picture with all of you. Enjoy!

Funnest Weekend and a Crapload of Pics

This weekend we went boating with Brandon's cousins. I was a bit stressed because;
a) I've only been boating a couple of times and super suck.
b) My 5 year HS reunion was the same day at 5:30.
c) We drove 2 hours to get to the lake, and I thought we would never get back in time!

But, BOATING WAS ROCKIN'! I loved it! We had an amazing time. The boat had XM radio and these killer speakers on the top bar. It was really nice. The only bad thing that happened was the beach we set our stuff on had hands down the worst smell in history. I was literally dry heaving every 2 seconds. Later we realized there was a decomposing(just dry heaved thinking about it) deer 5 feet away in the bushes! Barf! It had been dead for a long time so it no longer resembled a deer. Barf again! Anyways, here are some pics from boating.

What?! Did you know you could surf behind a boat? It is so rad! I could only surf the wake without the rope for like 10 seconds, but it still totally rocked my world.

Surfing without the rope! Kowabunga!

Brandy hasn't been boating for years, but look how awesome he is. Total stud machine.

Us, in the boat, obviously.

Later, we went to the HS reunion. It was ok, and I got to see some long lost friends, but we didn't stay long. We decided to bail and go bowling with friends.

Me and Bran Bran bowling with Lynz and Scottie Knight and Kristen and Kyle Hagan. We had fun dancing and being crazy. I'm sure people thought we were nuts. Quite the sunburn from boating eh? Can you guess who's responsible and put on sunscreen?

Every weekend we (my sisters, parents, and us) get together at my mom's for a BBQ and swimming. It's super relaxing and a nice opportunity to see everyone. This weekend the pool temp was 86 degrees! Woop woop!

We were trying to get Gracie to jump to us, but she wussed out. She's such a wierdo though because kept trying to drink the pool water. Nast!

Brucy got in too. He tries to climb the ladder to get to us whenever we swim so sometimes we set him on a raft for a few minutes.

Bow chicka wow wow! Hot bod baby!

Thank heaven for arm floaties! Lilly can swim around by herself now which is so great.

My cute papa enjoying watermelon. I swear, not one person in my family can eat something without spilling it on their shirt, especially my parents and I! Let's just say, Brandon's put a ban on me buying white shirts.

Me and Brandy sharing a raft, kind of. My neck looks a little flexy, but I'm trying to hold my head up for the picture. Don't be scared. I'm not going to turn green before your eyes and wear nothing but cutoff jean shorts.

That's it. If you get sick of me posting mostly pictures all the time, tough crap!

My Website is Complete!!!!!!!

Okay, it's the moment you've all been waiting for! My website is finally finished. It took forever to make, but it was worth the wait. I'm pretty happy with it. There are a couple of things I'd like to change, but for now, they just won't cooperate. So please check it out and let me know what you think.

A Christmas Miracle!

Okay, so it may not a Christmas miracle(it had a nice ring to it), but it really is a miraculous event.

I've finally achieved the impossible: Thanks to some large tupperwares, a shelf, and a hanging thing from IKEA, I've finally fit all my clothes AND shoes into one closet. This may sound ridiculous, but never in my whole life (seriously) have I accomplished this. I'm notorious for being messy, but since we bought our house, I've been an organization freak. You never realize how much crap you have until you have to fit it all somewhere. So from now on, it's no more mrs. messy girl!

p.s. if you were wondering what was in those 3 gigantic tupperwares at the bottom, you guessed it. All shoes!

Family

These are some shots I took of Brandon's grandparents this weekend. They hate getting pictures taken, but since I'm their favorite, they let me take some. I think they turned out rather nice. P.S. All that land behind them is their farm. It's beautiful.
