I made pretty balloons.

I made R take pictures.

I love taking pictures with R.

I love seeing the differences in our creativity. He thinks one way, and I'm on the side a mile away thinking something completely different. You would think because we both have creative minds that we would be the same. Wrong. I suppose there are one million ways to be creative.

Home again. Home again.

I'm FINALLY home after 2 long weeks.

I'm in my baggy sweats.

R is doing homework.

I'm making a book.

Life is good.

We returned home last night from sunny California

where we went to my grandpa's funeral.

I saw cousins I haven't seen for 10 years.

I played with brother + sisters + nieces + nephews

that I normally get to see only once or twice a year.

We got together to celebrate our amazing grandpa.

I just wish he could have taken part in the celebrating as well.

He probably is in heaven.

91 years is a long time to be on earth.

You're probably wondering why I posted a picture of me

acting like I'm all "Vogue" and such.

Well the day we left for CA I got to help a friend with a photo assignment.

She did such an amazing job, because.... I don't really look like that.

Seriously. I keep looking at the picture wishing I really looked like that.

Anyways, she's amazing.

Kiersten Sterling deserves a shout out.

Look her up.

She'll make you look pretty.

Holga love

This is a take 2 with my holga. I'm still trying to figure it all out. The back of my camera popped off while shooting which exposed most of my film, but hey I still got a few.

They weren't what I was expecting, but it's fun to see what shows up on the negatives.

Top 6 weekend moments

1. Not having to waitress Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! Can you believe it?

2. Spending time with R + my family going to The Savior of the World play and then to an extremely entertaining local indie film.

3. Spending Saturday afternoon with R in the great metropolis of Idaho Falls eating Great Harvest bread, shopping the clothing sales, and grocery shopping. ( I LOVE grocery shopping with R. It's so much better than going alone)

4. Catching up with one of my favorites, Mckenzie. It's been too long.

5. Going swimming with R. It was my first time ever swimming laps and it felt so good. R also helped me perfect my dive, AND we played a little PIG basketball in the sallow end. R won, but I don't even care.

6. Sleeping in until 1 on Sunday and then taking a 2 hour nap while also squeezing in Church, a steak dinner, and 2 movies plus so yummy oatmeal coconut cookies I whipped up.

Oh it was such a great weekend. I feel completely refreshed to start my Monday.

holga- take 1

My favorite husband R helped me develop my first role of film from my Holga this morning. {I used to know how a million years ago, aka my freshman year} They're not amazing by any means, but hey I thought it was a good 1st roll. I'll have to get started on numero dose.

Alphabet Soup

Well it might not be soup, but it is an alphabet.

It's just another one of R's graphic design projects

something that we see a lot of these days

projects projects and more projects.

Missing my Luscious Locks

I'm having long hair withdrawals.

I know my hair hasn't been long for a year now....

but I'm to that really awkward stage

and it's driving me

CRAZY!

I think I have at least another year to go.

AAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Guess what. It was lots shorter than this, but I didn't have any good pictures. This is grown out pixie.

Thank you Justin Hackworth for your great talent.

Who would LOVE a huge paper flower?

Ben Christensen

Ben Christensen has some really beautiful photography. Maybe it's the photography plus the beautiful girls and their fabulous wardrobes all inclusive that I love, but all in all it's some great eye candy to check out.
