No pain....NO GAIN!!!!!

As of today I am finally realizing one of my dreams...I am learning to play the GUITAR! YAY!!! I have always wanted to learn and my roommate has a guitar and the great book to learn how! I got to page 12 in the book today and had to stop cause my fingers have lost ALL of their calouses from my former violin playing days. Its pretty painful at the moment but I know that if I just stick with it they will be fine in a couple weeks :) I can't wait to actually be able to play instead of picking at a few notes at a time. I just gotta stick with it instead of giving up. We'll see how it goes!

Roommates for LIFE!

My cute new roommate finally moved in today! I was so excited I was ready to go HOURS before she got here! Its a girl I have known since I was in Jr. High, Jodee Dennison, and I love her to death!!!! I convinced her a while back to move in with me just for the summer and I REALLY wanted her to stay for the fall and was trying to rack my brain for things to convince her to stay down...well she did the job for me and she is staying to go to Provo College in the fall! WOOHOO! We are going to have so much fun its insane! Right now she is curled up like a bug in a rug in bed...poor girl was up at 7 this morning packing for the move down! But I managed to get a pic before she crashed! This year is going to be AMAZING!!!

My calling in life

As I posted earlier, it was my cousing Tia's wedding this past weekend and it was great to spend time with family over the weekend. Not only that, since I couldn't go into the temple I had some extra time on my hands to wander Temple Square and take some pictures. It was the perfect day to get some and I had so much fun. I really think I have missed my calling in life and from now on I am going to head to the inner photographer in me and really get into it. Here are a few pictures that I took that I absolutely LOVE!

Cam and Tia Bowen! YAHOO!

One of my absolute favorites! I had it blown up!

Also had this one blown up...I love the contrast in this picture :)
