Catch - Up

I should be tending to the boiling potatoes on the stove that I will be making potato salad with this afternoon. We are having a little get together of some of my husbands friends. It takes me off-guard when he says that he invited some of his friends over to play. I figured since the potatoes are cooking I’ll post to my blog since it’s been awhile, as for a quick summary since my birthday.

Nothing is new.

See how simple that was?

I am, however, trying to decide if I’m a laptop work station traveller or a have it all in one place all the time type of girl. The past couple of years I’ve just been hauling it all over the house to work - living room, living room floor, bedroom, kitchen, office, the “man cave”. Recently, I have acquired a beauty of a ‘computer screen’ - the term computer screen is to be taken lightly. I’m using our 32” Samsung LCD for my ‘monitor’. So I have my desk cleared off (that’s a story in itself) and have everything set up and I have to say I really like just having it in one place. My only new task is to figure out cord management - I have WAY too many things plugged in, ie: Garmin Watch Receiver, TV, Keyboard, 1TB HDD, Silhouette, Garmin Watch Charger, iPod cable.

So, now I’m kinda stuck at always using my desk, my laptop doesn’t have the greatest battery power but it’s still a great machine - it just doesn’t travel well without it’s power tail. So I have to say, all in all I really like having a permanent work station.

Now shall we catch up in pictures since July? Alright. Prepare yourself for image overload.

We went on a picnic on an extremely hot day. It was a lot of fun, my sister didn’t go with us as she was already committed to something previous. It took stomping through multiple mud puddles, kicking water on each other, and dumping a 5lb bucket of cheese balls all over the car to get to the most perfect spot we could find but the cool river  that was freezing from the melted snow that was coming down the mountainside.

I love my mothers face as soon as she put her feet in the water, it was quite humorous, it was so hot outside - but you couldn’t utilize the river water because it was so super cold. Too hot and too cold.

I loved these trees by our spot that had many carvings in them from over the years.

There were quiet moments at home.

There were goofy moments out doing family activities.

There’s been cupcake making.

Family Shooting Outings.

Long drives home with interesting traffic travelling our same direction from the Burning Man thing - whatever it is.

So from this little ‘update’ I’ve learned I seriously need to pull my camera out more! I also did a couple of photoshoots as well over the past couple of months - one for a wonderful family, and another for a precious little girl for her baptism.

That’s all I got. I promise I’ll pull my camera out more, and be better about documenting more of my meaningless days, and that moments that inspire me to be better, along with the little gems that are hidden throughout my day that makes them less meaningless and more special.
