Blasted Pride!!!

So there I was at the gym on the the treadmill minding
my own business
when one of those really little, perfect hair, perfect make-up
kinda girl shows up...ya know
the ones that wear nicer clothes to workout in than I do in my daily life.
She jumps on the treadmill beside me (and my blasted pride)
so I think to myself,
"She might be cuter but I can out run her."
Oh I don't know why I have to have such a competitive nature!!
I was already about a mile into my run when this all happened...
Well 45 min later she FINALLY leaves and I couldn't just
stop right when she stopped, that would be WAY to obvious...
so I ran another five min.
Needless to say, the gym kicked my butt today!
What a long run!!

Fun in Photoshop

Today was kind of a stressful day. Work almost killed me, really, I'm not even being dramatic! Trying to be creative at work can make me wanna pull my hair out sometimes. I got my degree in Photography, let me be more clear, STILL Photography (and business which is boring). I work with mostly After Affects which is dealing with shapes, texts, movie clips, graphics...then making them all move in a way that doesn't look Cheesy or that a two year old did it. My Boss is VERY picky (which I actually appreciate...usually) but come on! I think I just need a vacation. Since I'm not sure I'll be getting one of those til at least Thanksgiving I had to come home today and let loose in photoshop, My all time favorite program. I just wanted to be creative and not have someone tell me it wasn't good enough. lol I think I might have gone a little over-board, but I had fun. I can't wait for the day that I'm my own boss and can focus on photography more. I love it so much! The little man had a photo shoot a couple weekends ago. He is growing so fast! So this is one of the favs and one of my favorite buddies, Parker! :)

Some of my Favorites! :)

My Nieces and Nephews are so fun to have around! I love them SO much!

Last Weekend I....

Last weekend Kenz and I took one of our old roommates to Burley. Good times, lots of fun, lots of food...and oh the memories.

Mel, Kenz, Me, Kristen















Ken'z Dad took us out in the middle of no where in Paul and we went shooting then explored a cave. Pretty sure caves creep me out... especially when there are so many tunnels to get lost in.
I wasn't too scared though, seeing that we are all strong enough to hold it up if it were to start crumbling down. haha!

Weekend with Roommates

Friday night Brooke, Me and Kenz decided to go light some left over fireworks and throw them in the water. As lame as that might sound, since fire and water usually don't mix, it was a lot of fun! The fireworks called, "flowers" look really cool spinning in the water at night. It's considered a talent to be able to always have fun in a town with not a whole lot to do. I love smaller towns and the creativity that comes when people are figuring out something to do.
Me and Kenz... we match! lol All I can say is I got dressed first!!
Saturday night we (all of us roommates) all well on a group date to the Tremonton Fair and Rodeo. Paige (far right) works at the Buckle in the mall and guys are ALWAYS asking for her number. Last week a guy asked for her number and she didn't want to go on the date alone so she told him she would go if he got friends for her roommates. lol It was pretty fun up until the part when Kenz and I's date came across like they didn't want to pay for us to go on any rides...and we didn't bring cash. LOL It was still fun though.

Photo Shoot

This past weekend I had a photo shoot with one of my old friends from high school, Tana, and her fiance Todd. It was a lot of fun and I think we got a lot of good pictures. I can't wait for the day I can focus more time and my career on my photography business. I love it!!

This past weekend was a family reunion. The Mallory Reunion...It rained pretty much the entire time but we still had a lot of fun! Before it rained we got in a dirt bike ride that ended up being about an hour and a half long! It was so much fun!
Some got bumps, some got bruises, some took a fall or two, but we all ate A LOT of dirt. I love my family so much and I'm SO grateful for my parents that raised us the way they did.
My mom kept us in line while my dad taught us to work hard- they both taught us that when all is said and done...its time to play hard!
