Picture of the Week
2:44 PM
Ok. So I'm really wanting to do more of this photography stuff (hence the pictures of myself and Best Friend taken every school day as well as the new-found devotion to carrying my camera around with me everywhere that I go and trying not to take it out too often).
So, I'm going to start a Picture of the Week. This will be any picture - person or landscape - that I have taken during the last week that I think is good enough to share with all of you. I'm actually really excited. I will probably do this post on Wednesdays. I think it's a good middle-of-the-week post, yeah? Great. Me too.
Here is one from last week that I love:

taken at the Provo, UT temple. Canon PowerShot SX100
Feel free to comment and tell me what you think! Constructive criticism, though, people. Ok? Thanks.
***I'm always looking for ways to improve. If you want to *cough cough* be a model or know of some great locations that I should check out, you should definitely let me know! Or if you have a fancy camera you are getting rid of - I would LOVE a nice manual-mode-included camera. Mine is amazing, don't get me wrong, but I would love to learn and experiment. Just a thought to put out into that lovely universe.***
Alright. Picture of the week. Done and done.

wait... What?! ... I missed the weekend
9:28 AM
...like for seriously! My weekend disappeared. More like disapparated (which is what I tried to write instead of 'disappeared' cuz I'm just that awesome.)
but holy moly this weekend went super fast and was super busy. (super great though)
***and please never use that many supers in a statement again, nashelle, k thanks.***
Saturday started off with a lovely breakfast of pancakes and a lovelier trip to the Provo temple.
Calm...quiet...good time with Best Friend...relaxing...
but we no sooner walked out of the temple when the madness occured.
I had less than two hours until I needed to be showered and done-up for a fashion show.
In the meantime, I had to get some most important errands done.
and I was ridiculously stressed out.
So Best Friend mowed the lawn while I ran errands and tried not to cry from frustration and exhaustion.
(I'm not sure why I wanted to cry, but I sure almost did.)
Relief finally came when my hair had been blow-dried and straightened and my make-up all done and I
was ready to head over to the fashion show. *phew*
The fashion show was really fun - Sister #1 is on Allyse's Bridal Fashion Team and she was supposed to get a certain number of girls to do the show with her. Lucky me got to be one of the girls she asked.
(mostly cuz the other girls dropped out, but that's ok, too.)
(mostly cuz the other girls dropped out, but that's ok, too.)
We got to pick out a prom dress - anyone of our choice - and model it on the runway.
What a blast! And my dress is gorgeous - yes?
(insert picture after I steal Best Friend's camera. oops.)
--camera successfully commandeered. pictures now please.--
--camera successfully commandeered. pictures now please.--
It was great and fun to watch two of my sisters be model-esque. Plus seeing my family is always
a grand old time, so that was a bonus. :)
After the fashion show, we ran our tushes over to Burger King with an awesome gift card and bought some dinner for our growling bellies. Delicious. Plus, we got to watch the end of the first half of
the BYU/Texas game - when we were actually winning. But we were at stake conference
for the second half. Thank goodness, I don't think I could have taken the disappointment in person.
They put up a good fight though.
We went late-Saturday-night grocery shopping at our local Smith's and let me just warn you:
don't go to Smith's late on Saturday night.
It is really really crowded.
But we needed food. So it was worth it. Or will be when Best Friend
gets something yum for dinner later this week and tells me what
a stupendous cook I am. Yup. Stupendous.
See?! All that in one day. But it was a fun time. I just now wish I would have had a couple
extra hours of relaxtion-i-za-tion. That's all.
What did you do for the weekend?

Happy-Making Things
10:01 AM
So yesterday I got some bad news. If you read my other blog you probably already know that. Lucky you. Yeah... I was very put out for a very long time.
You see the sidebar? Over there on the left? Yup. That sidebar.
There is a NEW PAGE! Called "Ten Happy-Making Things".
You should check it out. Mostly because it was my 'I'm not going to be grumpy any more post' and reminded me that I still have so much to be happy about. (yes I really needed reminding)
Enjoy! :) And then tell me what are ten things that make YOU happy.

It's called "Happy Anniversary!" cuz it's our one month today!
Wow. Time flies.

JULY & AUGUST-lites
6:42 PM
JULY: (cuz I need to catch up)
2. Addressed wedding invitations. Worked on building Larissa a dress for the Miss Uintah Pageant.
4. Happy Fourth of July! Parade in Vernal. Washed the car in the heat and the sun w/ Best Friend and the girls. Fireworks that night.
5. Best Friend's Mom passed away. It was a really hard night.
8. Funeral for Best Friend's mom. Drove to Provo (from Vernal) and unloaded two car loads of my stuff. Drove from there to St. George with the fam. Went to see 'The Little Mermaid', but got rained out after 35 minutes of the show. Lame!
9. Got everything from my grandparent's house and moved it to mine. Cleaned w/ my youngest sister and then drove with her back to Vernal. A fun trip.
16. Cleaned the house with the help of some guys from Best Friend's ward. They were super helpful and the house looked GREAT after. Also moved in two dressers, bought a garbage can (big one) and bookcase, and couch covers. Then I went and got temple clothes and garments. Oh my goodness - so exciting! Went on a date to see Harry Potter 7 with Best Friend. It was amazing to spend the whole day with him. I was SO grateful.
17. Drove from Provo to Vernal in a scary lightning storm - and by scary I mean really scary. It was really flat and the lightning was all around me lighting up the sky. So I sang to myself to not go crazy.

22. Made a second trip to St. George to see 'The Little Mermaid'. This time we made it all the way through and it was awesome! Oh man Oh man.
23. Went through the temple for the first time! It was INCREDIBLE. My parents and grandparents were there, as well as Best Friend of course.
27. Went to the Miss Uintah County pageant. Larissa was awesome and looked incredible in all her outfits. I was super proud of her.
29. Last day of work at Sunburst Day Care. Had breakfast & dinner with a couple of great friends - Jackie (from high school) & Jen (from work). So awesome!
31. Best Friend and I spoke in our church. It went really well. After, we loaded the car and my sister and drove to Provo. There we unloaded the car and then drove to Salt Lake City for a Family Shower (like a bridal shower, but just for family). It was SO fun. We had a great time.
AUGUST:
1. Got our bed from RC Willey. Cleaned and organized the house.
2. Had a girl's night party with my ex-roommates. It was super fun.
3. Helped with prep for the reception (sort of).
4. Got married to my Best Friend in the Manti, UT temple. It was great. Definitely the best day of my life. There will be a post about it soon. Promise. :) I got a letter from my brother serving a mission in Japan that was perfect. It made me cry. Hard. I love him lots and miss him lots, too.
5 - 10. Honeymooning in Las Vegas/Cedar City. It was AMAZING! So fun. Seriously. There will be a post about that later, too. (Without too much detail. No worries. We don't want it to be awkward. ...ha.)
13. Had an open house in Vernal. It was incredible. It was beautiful and it was great to see so many of our (my) friends.
14. Happy Birthday to my Most Wonderful Mother! :)
15. Made a new blog! Check it out: danielandnashelle.blogspot.com.
19. Went to lunch with a good friend of mine from high school, Heather. It was great to see her. Got lots done and then went on a date with my hot **husband**. Ooh.
26. Worked at the BYU Women's Soccer game. It was long and late and fun-ish.
29. First day of classes at BYU. Hooray.
Wow. What a couple of months it has been! And what a long post. Good grief. It's quite a bit ridiculous. Sorry about that. I just wanted to update everything so I would feel better about not having posted for last month. Many apologies. But now I'm all caught up and life is good. Well, it was good anyway. ;) Stick around for some AWESOME posts coming up very soon!
