HALLOWEEN

I had the BEST Halloween of all time! (minus my husband was absent :(  that wasn't the best)

but I went home to shoot some engagement photos and really had so much fun with my family!

We woke up and carved pumpkins! 

Then we went to the Salt Lake Real soccer game! I've never been to a pro soccer game before and it was SO FUN to go with my brothers! We got some awesome "Ice Cream Nachos" and regular nachos as well 

Mom & Dad

WE WENT TRICK OR TREATING!!! Me & Jared & Ryan & Dad all went trick or treating! It was SOOO much fun! Me and Jared were running from house to house and I'm SO glad Ryan came with us! It was the most fun I've ever had trick or treating!

GO BYU!

The FAM went to a

BYU 

game a few weeks ago! My dad bought tickets for our family and his brothers family came.

this is the group.. 

my uncle dean and his family are behind us watching the game

(well... my uncle doesn't look like he's watching the game cause he's blind but he's listening to it i promise lol)

Me & My Man

Ward Halloween Party

We had our Ward Halloween Party tonight. We did a Pumpkin carving and Chili Dinner. It was a lot of fun.

ours was the best pumpkin there!

My newest calling is the ward photographer so I went around and met a lot of the couples in my ward by taking their photos for the ward directory.

these are our friends Tyler & Laura McAllister. They are Brandons cousins who live 3 doors down from us.

These are our other good friends, McCall and Jared Park with their ADORABLE baby Ryan. She's probably my favorite baby at this point :)

Since I had to take photos brandon carved most of our pumpkin and it turned out so cute! He had to go to a study group smelling like pumpkin but it was so worth it.

HAWAIIAN VACATION!

Our Trip was AMAZING! We went with brandons family for the Dental Convention and really had a good time!

This is us at the top of a mountain over looking the valley! It was such an amazing view!

You've GOTTA go to the Polynesian Cultural Center while your there too! We spent the whole day here and i think it was one of my favorite days. Brandons sister Aubrey had never been there so it was fun to take her :)

One day brandon stayed home and studied like a good student and me, aubrey, cary and Jody went and hiked diamond head. It was more of a stair climb than an actual hike though...

We also hit up the Dole plantation and got some of that famous AWESOME ice cream!

This is brandons favorite sushi. It's called Genki and it's fun because you sit at a table and tons of different types of Sushi comes by on a little moving track. (like that baggage claim)

you pay by what color the plate is. it's so cool! great sushi too!

Overall we had a REALLY fun trip! We're payin for hard for missing so much school but it was so worth it!!

The Great Indoors :)

one night we got invited to go camping with some friends of ours but we couldn't go cause brandon had work :( we were way sad cause we wanted to try out all our new camping stuff we got for wedding presents! so while brandon was at work i set up the tent and air mattress and we watched The Office all night :)

(and in an unrelated note)

Here is a picture of both our rings! I really wanted to get one of Brandon's cause i like it so much! It's got this sweet black weaving in it! and mine is just fantastic :)

Web Design Class

I'm in a Web Design class and in honor of my brother Ryan i made a web page for Marilyn Monroe. i'm still learning how to make web pages but it is REALLY taking some time! It's way harder than i ever thought it was going to be! That- and i have the attention span of a gold fish and this class is 4 hours long and extremely hard to sit through!

WORK WORK WORK!

So this semester I am taking 15 credits and i work 2 jobs. One of which is Editor of Art for a newspaper which keeps me INSANLEY busy! Brandon is taking O Chem and Physics and a few Business classes as well. Also, we both work part time at target in St. George so we have pretty much put our Marriage on hold until things can calm down a bit ha ha ha. I was kinda sad watching everyones blogs be updated with fun things they do as a couple and places they travel so i've decided to post some photos of what we do all day :) (even if it is just boring work and homework )

This is my Desk at the Journal. We have a pirate theme here and my pirate name is Shudder because i'm head photographer and i never stop talking :)

This is the news room- well part of it anyways.

(you can't see the whole pirate flag but it's up there. )

Since i'm the only one who takes photos i try to get in them, also my legs being in all these photos is a photostory i'm doing of sorts. i've got TONS of em.

Here is a picture of all my News Room tags. Press Pass, Editors Tag, Pirate I.D, and Our 2009 Theme. it's latin for "Neither rashly nor timidly" (My editors tag says "i'm an editor! sorry but the newspaper is just more important to me than you are!" ha ha ha Captain is so funny!

I try to come home at the same time brandon does for lunch. i don't see him till about bed time and if i don't see him till then i keep him up all night trying to talk ha ha ha

This is my poor foot again. I had a Cyst removed a year ago and i just tore a bunch of the cartilage around the surgery sight. so i am back in this blasted boot for 4 weeks!!

For my spare time (when i'm at brandons parents house waiting for him to get off work) i like to take my camera out and experiment with long exposures. here are some of my favorites
