Infatuation with....It-Life

So, I decided I'm going to put random pictures up with my posts and possibly talk about them a little...just to shake things up. I took this photo a about 5 months ago, just playing with my camera. Paige is so CUTE.

I love taking pictures!! Photoshop is fun to play with and can make an "everyday" picture look awesome, but there is something about catching photos that need none of the special tinkering. Example...to your left. All the pro photog's may think I'm up in the night, but I think that this picture is perfect. Lighting is nice, caught the little rascal in the moment, focus is sweet...I love photography!!

School is almost done! Woo!! One more week. May 7th. Why is this such a great date? Because school will be over and it is particularly the day that Iron Man 2 opens! Yes, looking forward to that.

Forever Plaid! What a FUN show. I've learned a lot doing this show. More than anything, I've learned that trying to do everything IS [pretty much] possible, or maybe just that anything is possible. Working with the other 3 guys has been a lot of fun. When you work so much, so long with people in shows or in anything for that matter, you learn a lot about them. So, it's been fun learning about the dudes, they're fun to be around. Surprisingly my voice has stayed in ship-shape these past few months. That is particularly surprising because this is probably the most strenuous show, vocally, that I have done.

I am completely ready for the summatime people! Let's shake this A.D.D. weather and head to the lake! Yeeehaw!

Baseball season is here, the sun is out, summer is almost here...and....we like to party we like we like to party!

How is everyone doing? Blog updating with everyone has been a little stagnant the last few months. Let's get to it people, I don't know what's going on with all of you! Eat, comment, and be merry for tomorrow is a new day :)

Fresh!


Life is FLYING by! Why is it that the older you get the faster time goes? It's kinda scaring me. Christmas came and went. Remember when you were little and it took AGES for Christmas to come?! What happened to that? My New Year's resolution is this: Treasure time. Live in the moment. It is soooo way too easy to take time for granted if you think about it. I don't know how many times I've thought that I could have done something better if I could do it again....WHY do we do that??? Why can't we always do [it] right the first time! We should. It is awesome to observe people who live in the moment, and who are the best they can be-always. I think it comes down to selfishness vs. selflessness. Let's add that to the list. I want to strive to be selfless this year. Take every chance I dare!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. How is everyone doing? Everyone has ceased to update their blogs..in the words of Grinch "what is the DEAL?" Comment, update..and be merry. :)

  • CHRISTMAS!! (It's almost here..woo!!)
What are YOU thankful for??
Man, this past week has been hectic! It was Homecoming week at school; being on Student Council amplified the craziness times 10. But, a busy life is a good life. I have a choir tour this week. We leave Wednesday night. I'm a little nervous for the ride tho. Last night a school bus from American Fork High School flipped after the bus driver lost consciousness. The teacher noticed something was wrong and ran up to the front to help, but was thrown from the bus and died instantly. So, I'm now a little nervous for the ride up to Salt Lake. I'm sure everything will be fine, but accidents like that force you to stop and think. I have a friend from school who's sister was on that bus. She was ok, but it's crazy to think that life can be taken from you anytime, anywhere. We seriously take it for granted; at least I know I do. It's a true test to focus EVERYDAY on being the best you can be, and to keep the commandments, and to stay as close to the lord as you can. SO! I challenge you THIS week to be the BEST you can be. Not perfect, but the best you can be. Everyday, find something to focus on and be amazing at it :) How has all y'alls weekend been? Comment. Do it.

The Latest!


Well, heck. School is just starting to get busy. About the time I finish homework for one class it's off to the next subject. I do love being busy tho, so there is no complaint there. Show choir is picking up and becoming more and more fun. We started a Beatles Medley Friday and it's really fun. We have a trip planned for October and I'm looking forward to it.

I have seen Aida twice now and it is superb!! The two women leads are amazing! Amneris and Aida. I have never heard or seen the show before, and it's always fun to discover new shows. The story is great and the music even greater. It's a story of forbidden love between Aida, the Princess of Nubia, and Radames, the Captain of the Guard of Egypt; the twist is that Radames is to be married to Amneris, the Princess of Egypt. I recommend it to everyone. It closes in a few weeks, so get out and see it if you haven't already.

I've really been wanting to catch some movies lately. Anybody recommend any playing right now? Lemme know! How is everyone? Comment and tell me what's goin' with ya'll! :)
