First session in training

Tonight I met up with Courtney, the photographer I will be working for, and the couple she was to be taking engagements of. Tonight will be the first of perhaps many sessions where I will "shadow" her of sorts. I was kinda nervous, I hadn't yet worked with anyone but a family member or friend, or someone I already knew. So this was different. But I was pretty excited as well.
We all met up at the International Peace Gardens in Salt Lake City. I didn't even know this place existed until then. This place is great! This is a wonderful place for bridals and engagements. I would probably say it's more ideal for bridals, but it seems that it would work great for both.
This couple was lots of fun. The girl was just gorgeous! The camera just loved her!
Courtney, had me shoot candid shots in addition. It was lots of fun. I was able to learn some stuff while shooting. Sadly, these are not mine to share, even though I took them. It'll be property of the company now:( I loved the shots so much. I wish I could share them. It's killin' me that I can't!

More Ingrid

I like free stuff. So when Skyler told me that he had heard on the radio that Ingrid Michaelson was back in town and was going to be playing a free little promotional concert at Best Buy on Satuday, I was all for it. This is one good thing about musical artists when they are still up and coming. They can do this kind of thing. It was pretty cool. I enjoyed it. Sadly I didn't bring my camera so I didn't get a picture with her but I did get her to sign my cd. She was very nice and quite funny.

The audacity!

Ok, so I am just a bit upset. I just found out that our upstairs neighbors decided to take the liberty and switch off our power completely. Here is why she thinks that she had the right.
Around 1pm I was listening to music, the Beatles to be exact. I was not playing it loud whatsoever. I never play it too loud. I try to be very considerate of our neighbors. She must have thought otherwise. However, I will say that when they play their music, they play it loud enough that I feel like I'm in da club and can sing along if I wanted to. Do I complain? No.
I was also hammering 2 nails into the wall earlier this afternoon because I have been rearranging some pictures of my photography on the wall. She called the landlord and complained that I woke up her kid from a nap. I feel bad that I happened to be hammering when he was asleep, but how was I supposed to know what time he sleeps!? I will add, I cannot count how many times I have been woken up from a nap of my own by their loud loud little boy. Have I ever complained? Nope. Anyways, she called and complained about these two things, then decided to turn off our power in addition. I sat in our house without power, in the dark for 3 hours! Then Skyler gets home and calls the landlord asking if he knows why it would be out when he could see that the upstairs power was on. He says that she had complained and to check the breaker out back. Sure enough! I can't wait until we have a home and don't have to worry about this anymore! ...Luckily I hear they are moving next month. Thank you!

Wow, talk about exhausted! I really should be taking a nap right now but, I think I am so tired that I'm not even tired anymore. Saturday morning Skyler was at work and I was trying to sleep in when a strange noise woke me up. I thought it was our neighbors perhaps using a jack hammer in their living room. But then I checked outside. It turned out to be a woodpecker or some bird like it, that was pecking at the metal thing above the chimney. The bird must have been facinated that it could make these noises with it's beak. Interesting how I could hear it so loudly in the basement. I wonder how loud it must have been for the top floor! I thought it was pretty funny. Eventually he must have gotten a headache and flew away. Saturday was wonderful. We went out together and did some errands. We bought a big shelve from Lowes to organize. Now our entry closet is finally organized:) Next project... the garage. Frightening! Anyways, the day was great until we had a bit of a silly argument (to put it politely). By the end of the night, very very late in the night, every single picture containing Skyler and myself were no longer on the wall or anywhere. The point of that... I don't know. No, I have no temper at all... I swear it! ;) I had a chuckle when I got home from work today. Our walls were almost completely empty! I didn't really realized how many pictures of us I had around. Hopefully I'll get them all back up tonight.
Sunday I worked a double. This is never a good thing in my opinion. I always dread having to do this. As if that's not bad enough, I was team leader, meaning I can't sit around as much as I could otherwise. Woe is me! Then I hear from Skyler later on, that he met Sheri Dew at church. I was so jealous! I really admire her. That would have been pretty cool to meet her. Then let's just say the night at work was more eventful than anyone was hoping for. Then I had to be to work again bright and early today and be TL again. I really can't complain though. Today was nice and simple. The whole time I was at work I was dreaming of a nap. Then I get home and I'm not tired at all. Funny how that works.

Skyler's sister C'era, stayed with us over the weekend. She came to visit us, but mostly to go on some dates. She is 25 and livin' it up. She's always got a date, and if she's bored and wants to go out no matter where she is, at home in Cedar City , or while staying with us, she can take care of that in a jiffy!
She's lots of fun. I just love it when she stays over. Here are some pics we took at the park while she was here.


Jumping is fun

This makes me laugh every time I see it

I'm a moose!

Looks so handsome in green!



My husband can do tricks.. can yours?;)
I can't stand his transition glasses! egh! "tender moment"... as C'era would say.

Spring cleaning

Today I tried to be productive for once. I didn't let myself sleep in as much as I normally do on my day off. I got ready fast and did some errands. As I was trying to put away some food for food storage I was getting frustrated at the lack of space to put anything! So of course this called for some spring cleaning! I took almost everything out of our very small storage closet. Amazing how much stuff can fit into that small space! Then... with the help of Skyler, transferred it all to the garage out back!:)
Speaking of Spring cleaning, a few days ago I did some yard work in the front. Normally this job is reserved for the people that live on the main floor, but since they never do any kind of maintanence whatsoever such as weeding, moewing, and shoveling, the landlord offered Skyler and I a discount in our rent if we would start doing it all. We were more than willing. I have been doing most of the yard work anyways. I can't stand a trashy looking yard. So I'm down with getting a discount for doing it!

Happy Birthday Babe!!!

Just wanted to wish Skyler a Happy Birthday which was on Friday. He worked overtime all week and by his birthday on Friday he was just exhausted and just wanted to relax. Then all weekend I wasn't feeling well, so we didn't do anything special. He got some workout clothes from me for his P90X workouts. Happy Birthday Love!
