My First Photoshop Project...

So i just found my photoshop cd and installed in on my comp. I've had it for awhile but i just never got around to learning how to use it. I also just found some great places to get digital scrapbooking stuff. So here is my first creation - i still don't know if i'm completely done with it yet.



It's a little basic - but i can only get better right. It was so much fun!

Camping... 2

So we went camping again. This time with Dallins family. It was way fun! We went up to Randolph - well really it was Wasatch-Cache National Forest. It was so pretty up there! My boss told me that Randolph was the armpit of Utah (I can kind of see his point haha) but the Park was beautiful! A quick side note - Randolph is where my Grampa Rex is from and on Sunday when we got back we had a Rex Fam Reunion and my Grampa's youngest sister got up and spoke about him and the house they grew up in in Randolph. I didn't get to see the house but i'm pretty sure we drove right past it without even knowing. Ha.

So when we got up there on wed. we set up shop and got everything ready. After that it was time for some riding! It hadn't rained up there in awhile so everything was sooooo dusty! It was like dirty baby powder. It got everywhere!!!

It was still a blast! Shad didn't really get dirty so i don't have a good grimy face to show you. We also went shooting but mostly we just rode on the 4-wheelers and got dirty. We had some fun playing in the campfire. Haha. I'm always playing with my camera and figuring out what setting would be best. So I seriously took like 50 pictures of the fire (some of those were because i had it on multiple). Haha. But some of them turned out pretty cool.


Haha this is my Gangsta Husband standing next to my Cowboy Husband.












Quick recap: We went to Gators to eat one night, had a pants burning party, watched my little dog tease Shad's Big dog (Haha that was soooo cute), learned a lot of new games, shot probably over 1000 shells, drove like 50 miles all together on all of our rides, got to know each other better, ate very well (too well and too much), shot a tree down and had a blast!



Thank you Cathy & Joel!

Camping...

So we had a pretty good weekend - I would say it is worth writing about. It always takes me so long to get pictures up because honestly it's king of a hassle. But yah - we went up to Kolob and stayed at some brand new Cabin. So it wasn't exactly camping. Ha. They didn't have water to it yet so we couldn't wash faces/take showers. So in that aspect it really was camping. It was just so relaxing and I totally didn't have any stress/worries at all while I was up there. I didn't really keep track of the time and it was just soooo nice! It was just what I needed. We went with Mike, Jen, Ashley & Quinn and it was just so much fun!



We went up Thur night and got there around 6-7ish. We all wanted to go for a ride before we got dinner goin and it got too dark.




Friday was pretty full of riding around, checkin out the lay of the land on the Arctic Cat, 4-Wheeler and Bike. We also had a little hand gun training. We also went hiking around - we heard there were some ice caves (it is snow that falls into these cracks in the rocks and it never melts because it's nice and cool and never sees sun) but we never found them.






Saturday we explored more of Kolob like Lava Point and the Reservoir. We also saw some Condors but I didn't have my cam with me so we didn't get a shot of them. But I found a pic online just so show yah. They are pretty huge ugly birds. We also went shooting again - this time at some clay pigeons. I got 2 ah thank yah. I won't tell you how many times I tried. Ha.





Sunday we woke up nice and slow, cleaned up and took off around 1. It was nice to go home and take a shower :)



We ate very well the whole time - like I gained a few lbs i'm sure. It was just a blast! I would love to do that again fo sho!
Thanks Ash and Quinn for the good times and sweet cabin!

Memories...

I think this is a great idea - i got it from my friend Ashlie.

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 Big Step...

So when i was younger I was really shy. Like really really shy. And I was afraid to go in public places by myself. Kinda weird I know. Haha. But over the years I have become more and more comfortable about going places on my own.
For instance, I can go shopping anywhere all by my onesy (I still prefer to go clothes/etc. shopping with somebody) But like at Wal-Mart or anyplace like that, I almost prefer to be alone.
I love being at the office all by myself, I think that is partly because when there is someone here, I don't particularly get a long with them all the time.
And that's pretty much all I can think of. Those are big accomplishments for me.

So today, it's my lunch break and I have stuff in the fridge at work I could eat but I didn't really want to stay here. So I go run a few errands and grab a bite to eat. I didn't want to eat it in my car or at the park and I didn't want to take it back to work and it's not like I have anyone to go with sooooo I ate in the restaurant all by myself!
Crazy I know. Haha. Well it was just fast food but that is a tremendous step for me. I have never done that in my entire life! It really wasn't too bad. Except every single person in there was with somebody and they were all staring, pointing and laughing at me. Haha. But yah, i thought that was noteworthy.

I have yet to eat at a real sit-down restaurant by myself and I don't really know if i want to.
One thing I would like to try once is going to a movie - party of 1. That might take awhile.

Independence Day...

Yah so it's a little after the fact but i wanted to write about it anyway.
This was such a great weekend for me! The 2nd & 3rd my boss was gone so it was just me in the office (believe me this is a good thing and I wasn't lonely at all!) and then Friday, the 4th Dallin and I had the whole day off!
This is one of the few times we both have had the same day off, besides Sunday. We slept in, I made breakfast, we cleaned up the house a little, hung out, I think we went shopping for something, and just had fun together!
That evening, we went to our good good friends for a delicious BBQ and Crystal and I took turns lighting off some fireworks and had some fun with the sparklers.

After that we went into St. George and parked on Foremaster to watch the fireworks. Last year we went up on the Airport hill and we definitely learned from that mistake!



Then we went back to Dan and Crystals and played some Rock Band! Our bands name is the "Bills Funkmaster 3000".
K we have Dallin - the very attractive lead Vocalist, Myself - the very talented Lead Guitarist, Dan rocks it out on Bass and Crystal is our awesome Drummer that keeps us together! It was a ton of fun!

A Walk In The Park...

On Monday we worked so hard on our house, just cleaning and organizing that we decided to take a break and walk down to the park. The new St. George park is just a couple of blocks from our house.

This is the first time we have had the time to actually take Scooter on a proper walk. She had so much fun! She was everywhere though. Haha.

Playin in the water.




On the way home.


Time to rest.

We all had so much fun. I'm pretty excited about living in the city again. I've been living clear out in Leeds and Dallin has been living in Hurricane. It's definitely a change to live so close to everything. It's so nice! We'll have to make going to the park a tradition for sure!
