lately...

-Watched General Conference over the weekend...LOVED IT! Especially Elder Richard G. Scott's talk on Sunday - powerful! I love the feeling of Conference time, especially in the Spring, with everything changing. It's good.

-I've been so busy lately with photo shoots. Last week as I got off work each day I'd go straight to a photo shoot, and not be home until 8 or so (except Tuesdays - YW night). I'm grateful that I have stuck with photography all these years, even when I felt I wanted to quit and give-up because I wasn't as good as others. I've learned so much over the years and feel that I have come a long way, since the beginning. It's been so much fun! I'm excited to learn more and more, and continue to push myself more and more. I have the best clients and I'm meeting more awesome people from this. You can see my current work on my photography blog here, or click on the right side bar.

The most recent session on there is my brother Sean and his Fiance, Brianna Wyckoff. They're such a beautiful couple! They get married on May 20th in the Salt Lake Temple. So excited!!!

-Max has grown so much, in size. He's still the rambunctious dog he's always been...even more so now. We wonder if he'll ever get over his crazy dog phase where all he wants to do is jump up on people and play with them. He's still a puppy, I guess. But man, it sure makes it hard when you have people over. He's just a very social dog and wants all the attention on him. He's funny. Even though he's crazy, we love him, and we have so much fun with him.


-I'm planning a trip to Vegas to visit one of my BFF's either at the end of April or beginning of May. Can't wait! I need this so bad. I'm also hoping this year to visit my sissy and her family in North Carolina - if they haven't moved already to San Antonio, and while I'm there visit another BFF in Tennessee. Gosh, might as well just hit that whole south area filled with friends and cousins.

-Ryan and I often talk about moving out of the state. He'll get an idea that we should move to some state, like North Dakota or Montana (vito) and I immediately start searching for homes in those areas or others. I love the idea of moving outside of Utah, as much as I love this place it would be nice to be somewhere else. I keep telling him how much I love the east coast and how badly I want to live there (I'm a fan of lots of green, and lots of trees).

-I love being the Laurel Advisor in YW. I love my girls!

-I love playing 'The Michael Jackson Experience' on my Wii.

-I love making a yummy buffalo chicken dip, a fave as of lately. I make it too much.

-I love dinner/movie nights with Ryan.

-I love antique shopping. I love that Ryan and I share the same love for antiques.

-I love my orange chair that I got off of KSL to use for photo shoots. You'll see it being used in a lot of my sessions lately. It's very vintage and very cool looking in the pictures. It's a nice pop of color.

-I love that I can ride my bike again, now that it's getting warmer.

-I love that I still have green sparkly nail polish on my nails from St. Paddy's day.

-I'm enjoying my blonde hair.

-I'm praying for Ryan to get a job.

-I love the Temple. I love that Ryan has been going with a neighbor friend, and went 3 days in a row last week. He's a keeper.

-I love my family.

-I don't love trials.

-I love living, and I love life.


Love,

Me

Shannon, I love you. The more I get to know you, the more I realize how much we have in common. Kaulana and I often talk about moving outside Utah too. Someday. : ) But I LOVE looking at houses elsewhere too. I may spend too much time doing that, but it is fun. We want to have you two over soon. Hopefully we can catch you on a less busy day.
