Weekend Get Away

A few weeks ago Jason and I got to stay with my awesome friends Nicole and Justin at their cabin in Island Park!  The night before we got there we went up to Yellowstone to see the play Les Misérables at the Playmill Theater.  Jason and I LOVED it!  It is a small, intimate, interactive theater with some of the most talented people I have ever seen preform.  I was in awe the entire two hours of the play.

After the show, we drove down to Island Park and stayed at Nicole's parents cabin.   The next day we had breakfast, went for a walk, rode some ATV's, went in the hot tub and played games.  It was the perfect weekend.

Nicole is an extremely talented photographer, so we spent the majority of the weekend walking around taking pictures and practicing.  I have never been formally trained in photography so I ate up everything that she had to offer me and I learned a ton!   I took the majority of these pics, but Nicole did take the ones of me.  It's nice to actually get pictures of myself!  I'm usually always on the opposite side of camera :)

 

We had platapus feet and mismatched socks. My mom would be proud.

 

 Justin is trying to bust a move..They look like a band cover.

 

The ''much needed" walking sticks.

 After the ATV ride, we were MUDDY!  You can't really tell in this picture, but it was literally everywhere!  That's what you get when you let your husband drive.

 

Tried to take a selfie with my 50mm lens...not the greatest idea, but hey it works!

Had an amazing weekend with some amazing friends.  Idaho is truly beautiful.

Hey Look, I'm Still Here

Radio silence doesn't seem like the right word...more like avoiding. Yes. Avoiding.  I have a confession to make...I hate editing pictures.  Like I really really hate it. And since I cannot keep writing on this blog without having some pretty pictures for everyone to look at, I've decided not to post anything at all.  On top of that, my life is pretty repetitive these days.  Nothing new happening here.  However, I've been wanting to pick it back up again, so here we are!

Updates on our lives:

* Jason just started his second to last semester of school!  He is 

taking 17 credits, all upper level engineering courses.  

Needless to say, I'm an engineering widow now.

* I am still working as an apartment manager and love it. 

Although it takes the majority of my time and energy

 to be a mom, accountant, manager, counselor,

 and therapist 24/7, I do love it.

  

* I just made a headboard for our bedroom and completely 

redesigned the whole room.  It looks steler if I say 

so myself.  Pictures to come.

* I started wearing lipstick.  So that's cool. 

* I think I am going to start a cookbook. I'd be good at that right?

See I have nothing cool to write about these days. Which is why I have been avoiding this blog.

On a side note Jordan, Miguel and baby Zeke moved up to Rexy in August!  It's the first time we have lived near each other in over 7 years!  Crazy!  I love it though.  A couple weeks ago we went to the fair.  Yes, Idaho has a fair!  It was full of fried food, terrifying rides and fluffy animals.  Nothing like the Del Mar Fair, but we'll take it! 

 

Well until the next time I can get the strength to write on this thing...
