Hallelujah!


School is over!! Hallelujah! And, one of my new favorite songs thanks to my good buddy? Hallelujah by the Canadian Tenors. Jason Castro has a good version as well. It has been the most boring week of my life!! Why you ask? Well, school is over...and I am switching jobs this week...nothing has been on my agenda! I thought that it would be heaven to stay home and not have to wake up for anything...NOT! Hate it...I have nothing to do haha! So, I am pretty stoked to start my new job this week!

So, this picture: This is one of the first shots from the new lens!! You can't help but smile or laugh when you see this picture, and that's why I chose it.

Chance left for Nauvoo this week. I am gonna miss that kid, but I am excited for him. I already wrote him a letter and it's on its way to him...his first day out..haha. What a fun summer he has ahead of him. I am gonna go see him sometime this summer. Anybody game?? Oh, and he was called to the Yerevan, Armenia mission. He was SO excited the morning he opened it up. He was smiling from ear to ear, up hugging everyone, looking up everything he could on the internet about Armenia. It was fun to see him so excited!

Forever Plaid is finally over! What a fun show! It was fun to have a show in Hurricane and get people out to it. I think our first night we had about 25-30 people. Closing night we had around 450-500 people there. The theater was full!!! It was so much fun!

I got my new camera lens and I LOVE it! I have tried it out a couple times already, it rocks! Shout out to Kenzie! She is dressing up as princesses this summer for little girl birthday parties and I took her Belle pictures this weekend..it was hilarious!

Iron Man was AWESOME! I just wanna be him! Sweet movie! Go see it! It makes you want to fly and blow things up...great fun!

The weath has been pretty awesome! Can't wait for the lake!!!!!

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. :)

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.
