Baseball games
Tonight I got to enjoy a beautiful evening at the baseball park. I love it! It was a good game, good company and good Action! (Action is a betting game)
Sleeping In
Last night 2:00 am just didn't seem that late. I wasn't really tired and I was blogging and digital scrapbooking. I had set my alarm at 7:30 to make it to work by 10:00. I turned off the lights and fell asleep instantly.
My mom came into my room at 10:30 and asked, "Are you supposed to work today? It's 10:30!" I flew out of bed and looked at the clock seeing it was 10:36. I frantically got ready and was out the door by 10:45! I was impressed with how good I looked for only 10 minutes and I walked into work at 11:00.
Approaching the studio it looked hectic. There were three appointments there, two viewing and ordering pictues and one waiting to go back. My awesome boss Melissa managed to help all of them at once calmly and collectively. I got into the studio and took a few pictures of a couple cute families.
After, I talked to my boss who just laughed and said not too worry. She said she was kind of worried because I am always ten minutes early and when she noticed I wasn't there she called me.
On the way home I stopped at my brother Jared's work to bring him some glasses and he treated me to Red Mango! It has turned out to be a great day!

Craftiness
So there is a little piece of me that loves art and crafts. It doesn't really matter what kind and if it's a good day then they turn out pretty good.
This summer I decided I wanted to repaint my room and in my mind I had this beautiful vision of how I wanted it. Now if any of you have tried to pick paint before it's not that easy. What you think you are looking at on this tiny little piece of paper and what actually goes on your walls are two completely different colors. So this worried me that my vision may crash and burn all because my color perception gets skewed.
Well after five days of looking over and finally decided on colors, 12 hours of taping, painting, taping and painting my bedroom turned out EXACTLY as I envisioned. So here it is... my vision that came to life!
My Room Before
The taped stripes which took almost 2 hours with my aging parents!
The beautifully envisioned stripes!
The finished product!

Summer Rain
There is nothing I love more than watching a dark gray cloud move in and cool down a warm July day! The smell of rain reaches me before the rain itself and I just sit on my front porch and wait for the beauty of summer as the storm moves in.
I love everything about the rain, the smell, the sight, the sounds and the feel of cool droplets on my warm skin. Standing in the middle of the yard with my arms stretched up and my head tilted back; watching the large drops fall to my face with some poking out my eyes!
The rain is magical and enlivens me! I can feel the thunder as it resonates through my body, and the lightening as it lights up the sky and quickly kisses everything in it's path!

Reunited Adventure
Lindsey Merie and I went on a hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon yesterday. We hiked the Broad Fork trail which is at the bottom of the 'S' turn in the canyon. The hike was moderate and had a great variety of both steep and flat parts and some very rocky parts.
This was our first real adventure we have had together since Summer 2007 in New York. It was so good to be back together enjoying the beautiful mountains which we both love.
We hiked for about two hours crossing the river on this cute little bridge and getting to what we thought was the top. But when we got to this flat/meadow area we noticed the trail kept going, so we did as well. We didn't want to stop because we were so curious to see where this trail led. Around 5:15 we thought we better turn around because it was getting late and we still had to hike down. We didn't make it to the top so we carved our names into two trees so that if we ever hike this trail again we will know exactly how far we went and then can keep going past it.
Linds and I have a goal to do one new hike a week and have many more adventures in store for each other!

Lost without my best friend
Two weeks ago my best friend of my entire life left for her mission! It is so hard not talking to her everyday and being able to tell her all my thoughts, feelings, questions, concerns and adventures. She has always meant so much to me and we have been so close for the past year especially, but I didn't realize how much I depended on her until now, when I can't talk to or see her. I know she is doing the right thing and I am so happy for her! I love her and miss her!
