Just a little update...
Just a little update....first off, I haven't told many people yet (because I am not sure how many people I want seeing it) but we have another blog we started. It is our weight loss blog where we will share tips, tricks, struggles and recipes, etc as Mike and I go through our weight loss. If anyone is interested in following it just click HERE. If anyone would like to comment and leave recipes and stuff please do so.
Next, Mike and I took a trip to Swan Falls last weekend with his mom and our friend Matt. It was a gorgeous day, the sun was shining and the falls were at the highest water capacity they can be.
Mike is enjoying school and loves his new job. He is really enjoying having Fri, Sat, and Sun off. I am still adjusting to him being home on Saturday. I am working and next month will be taking some photography classes. I am looking for couples, families and individuals to photograph using techniques learned in the class. I am offering special rates for this. To see the rates feel free to visit my photography site.
Other than that, not much is going on here. I am feeling a little more inspired and ready to post but our laptop is almost dead so it is hard to do much on it. We are getting a new one next week so I will be able to do more posting and photo posts, etc.

A Place to Comment if You Voted Other
This is a post just so those who vote other on the Girls Weekend Poll have a place to comment and tell me what other is. Or if you just want to leave a comment on the poll. Please, vote. I had a blast on my last girls weekend and want to try and make it an annual event (with a few thrown in every now and then that are just because there is a free weekend).
If anybody is looking for a movie that is good, and likes dogs...MARLEY & ME was really good. You laugh, you cry.....I liked it a lot.

Conference and Sophie
As I said, I would probably post after conference. Conference is such a refreshing weekend for me. I felt every talk was geared towards me, as I usually do. I really loved the focus on Christ as Easter comes only a week after conference. One of my favorite talks was Elder Hollands about the Atonement. The description he gave really made one understand what the Savior must have gone through.
Saturday night, Mike and I had tickets to the 25th Anniversary Concert at the Morrison Center for the Performing Arts. They honored Velma Morrison and then one of my favorite jazz singers, Sophie Milman, performed. It was wonderful. I have decided Mike doesn't take me out enough though because as I got ready I thought my nice black slacks would probably fit just right since I had lost so much weight....well, I was wrong. They were way too big. I told him when I can't know if my date clothes are going to fit me right he must not take me out enough.
In an effort to get more active, develope new hobbies and talents, and be reinspired I have decided to sign up for classes through Community Education and may enroll at CWI this fall. I am excited to take some photography classes beginning next month and am looking for oppurtunities to use the new skills I will learn (hopefully). We are going to be hiking, camping, and enjoying the beauty of Idaho. Hopefully all of this will reinspire me and I will be back to my blogging in no time.

SLC and a Blogging Break
Ok, I have not done a journal post in a long while. So I thought I would start off with that.
Last week, Mike and I both had Friday off so we went down to SLC to see Sarah. We met her for lunch at Chick-fil-a on Friday and wandered around the Layton Hills Mall. Then, she had to work, so Mike and I wandered and then made an early night of it and went to the hotel and watched some movies.
Saturday was great. We met Sarah for breakfast at IHOP and then went to Garden Village. It had the cutest shops and the best bakery and candy shop....So tempting! We then went and had lunch at the Mayan Adventure. Made me think of the Rainforest Cafe. We really enjoyed the Diving show. After that we took Sarah home and we were going to go out on a double date with her and Dustin that night to Texas Roadhouse but we were still stuffed from our late lunch and then Sarah scored tix to the Jazz game. So Sarah and I went to the game. They played the Phoenix Suns (Shaq's team) and won 104 to 99 in OT. WOOHOO!
We were going to meet Dustin the next day but unfortunately word came that some nasty storms were moving in. Mike and I made the decision to leave early Sunday morning. We missed most of the storms although we hit some 50+ mile per hour winds for about a hour stretch of the drive and then were slammed with some snow/hail mix just before Boise. It was a lot of fun and when I get a little more motivated I will post some photos from the trip.
Which brings me to the next part of my post. I am taking a little break. I may post something after conference or when something big happens. But I feel pretty uninspired at this moment. I think I just need a break. Catch me on facebook now and then. I hope to get reinspired soon. I now understand why some of my favorite bloggers (Monae) take breaks. I will be back soon.
