room.

I've always been into photography, I love looking at and taking pictures. It's crazy how one picture can tell a story and how it can make you feel. So much can be said and done with on shot. After high school I went to a community college and I took a photography class. It was such a neat class, my favorite part about it was probably the fact that we got to develop our own film in the dark room. The other day I was just going through my binder with all my photos that I developed for each assignment in the class. I found two that I loved so I framed them and hung them on the wall in my room.




I've decided to try and get back into photography. I really like using my 35 mm camera. I've forgot how to use the settings and all the cool stuff I can do with it but I'm going to teach myself and get better at it. I think I need to find a hobby and photography as always been something I liked so why not?

my new obsession.

Okay actually it's not a new obsession, it's an old one. And it's not really an obsession it's more of a..I don't really know what it would be, but I've always wanted a pair of chopsticks and I finally have some! I think what makes my awesome pair of chopsticks even more awesome is the fact that they have their own little case. that's right. I was so excited that I got my first real pair of chopsticks that I wanted to use them tonight and I really wanted some strawberries so I ate my strawberries with my awesome chopsticks. don't judge.

the weekend.

This weekend has been so much fun! Kristina came down from Idaho Thursday and stayed for the weekend. We made a pretty sweet video.





Then Toni, Kristina, and I all went down to Centerville and while they visited my aunt I went to the JUSTIN BIEBER Concert with Crystal! Now some may think I'm odd for going to his concert but it was so amazing. He's so cute! Oh don't worry I turned into one of those screaming little 10 year girls. I fit right in.







After the concert everyone met up at Crystal's house and we just hung out and we shared the wonderful pictures and videos from the concert with Toni, Kristina, and Amanda. While sitting around and talking, Crystal busted out this super low voice. After hours of laughter we all fell asleep and then we went to church with Crystal's family the next morning.





After church Toni, Kristina, and I drove the long hour and 15 minutes home. I had to work that night which really sucked, it was so busy! But made for good tip money. When I got home from work we all watched the movie House Bunny. Then stayed up til 5 in the morning editing the music video. Around 3 A.M. we needed a break so where when you need a break from making an amazing music video? Burger King of course.







Waking up many hours later we just sat around and did nothing then finally decided to go see the movie Despicable Me and get a bunch of food and have a dance party. So we did. Although we were all too tired to dance so it didn't last that long and plus it was way hot in our apartment so we went in our backyard and just laid on the grass and chilled. Before the movie Kristina and I attempted to take some artsy looking photos. Hers turned out much better than mine.











The next morning Toni and I went over to Kristen and Jamie's apartment and had a wonderful lunch filled with laughter and good conversation. Those two girls are so funny! After that Kristina left and went back home to Idaho. After her visit and after hanging out with Crystal and Amanda it has made me so excited for the Fall, because they'll all be up here and they won't be living too far from me. I can't wait!

graveyard adventures.

If you can't be a pine
On the top of the hill
Be a scrub in the valley
But be the best little scrub
By the side of the rill.
Be a bush
If you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a highway
Then just be a trail.
If you can't be the sun
Be a star.
If you can't be a Muskee
Then just be a Bass
But the liveliest Bass
In the lake.
We can't all be Captains
Some have to be Crew
But be the best
Of whatever you are.

Toni and I went for a walk around campus as we passed the cemetery we decided to go in and look around. Some may find it a little odd and strange that we would just want to spend our evening in the graveyard but it's actually really cool and the longer I was there the more I wanted to know about these people, what they would have looked like, what their personalities were like, what their dreams were, how they lived their life, what caused them to end up here; in this place. A lot of the ones that we saw that were older couples made me want to know how they met how they ended up getting married. Some that really got to me were little infants that died 2 months after they were born or ones that would be my age now. There was one that was born on June 10th, 1990 and died the same day. As I stood there staring at that gravestone and studying that date I slowly realized, oh June 10th that's today, how sad. But wait it's on there twice so that means she died on the same day, she only lived for a few hours. Wait look at the date. 1990. she's my age. A month younger than me, she would have been 20 today. Then all these things went through my head of how she could be living the college life, she could have been my roommate, in my ward, some great. who knows.




Clearly this man LOVED his wife. he ADORED her. Makes me wish I knew them, they probably did a lot of fun things together and I bet they were a way cute couple. I hope to one day meet and marry a man who will treat me like a queen.

letters to a lost loved one.

It's not a cemetery without crows.
