The royal...

WEDDING.

Yes, everyone has been talking non-stop about it.

I think that is maybe why I had a dream that my good friend from Idaho proposed to me last night.

In my dream he gave me some ring options but the only ones were gold, and the cheap kind that you stretch to fit your finger. I was so upset.

Another possibility is that my sister was editing some engagement pics and Amanda (the engaged one) came over and we talked wedding talk. She thinks that the "Royal Wedding" is taking the spotlight away from her own wedding. Not Fair!

See this picture right here? 

The two lovely ladies to the left are ALSO getting married this summer.

2/3 of our love triangle went off to college and found true loves.

I couldn't be happier for the two of them, their soon to be husbands are two lucky men. These girls are awesome. (but don't say I didn't deny when you said i was going to be the first to go... looks who's jumping on the marriage train now :)

As for me, I am not bitter one bit. I am not jealous because I know that the time is right for them. I wouldn't change the way my life is panning out because I absolutely love the times I am having in college. The friends I have made are priceless and I know that if I was in a constant relationship, I would miss out on a whole lot of the friends I have now. I still have some things I want to do before the man of my dreams pops the question, and I can't wait for year 2 of college. 

I am excited to go back to school in Idaho...

1. My new apartment and roommates are going to be THEE BEST

2. My own bedroom.

3. To see my friends that I miss oh so much

4. I will have a rice cooker and won't have to burn or boil-over rice anymore

What a beautiful mess

WOWZA! What a long day at work. However, I do have some fun photo's to share. My lovely sister let me borrow some of her lenses for my Canon and I played around a bit. I love trying new things!

With a wide angle, it is easy to accidentally get your feet in the picture.. or your whole body

my cute lil' nephew

..and niece 

..and then came the lens baby

 and I had to practice on something stationary..

 probably one of the hardest lenses to use..

but i'm starting to get the hang of it..

Practice, practice, practice...

Weekend Update

It's not the weekend, but I had some fun last weekend so I need to tell you all about it.

First off, remember when I told you about jello fruit? Well kids, here they are. My jello-artist sister Kate made these. She cut various fruit in half, hallowed them out, filled them with jello, and once the jello was set, she cut them into slices.

They were strangely delicious and addicting...

...and these are maraschino-cherry-jello-drops... Kate INVENTED these, she is definitely about to mark history.

 (The two were missing because I had to make sure they weren't poison)

Another item on the Easter treat list would be these bad boys:

 I think I could eat the whole bag in one sitting. I HATE peeps, but these are DELICIOUS!! (my mouth is watering just thinking about them).

Then my lovely mother took me shopping and I got a whole bunch of new things to add to my closet including my grandma glasses... I'm in love. 

"Mama said home is where the heart is"

NAME THAT SONG- It's one of my all time favorite bands

not to mention it is a true statement.
I found out I didn't have to work until Tuesday at 4 so I made the three hour journey home for Easter weekend.

I will post some pictures when I get back to my laptop, but heads up-- my sister Kate made some jello fruit. You aren't going to understand how awesome it is until I post the picture... anticipation.

Greetings from my lovely beach on the Puget Sound

Overkill with the fisheye

I got to go on an adventure with a fisheye lens tonight and it made me really happy. This might be an overload of pictures... but I love them, and you will too!

Some lens flare action-

 I just really LOVE these flowers

And I love me some good shortened words

Did I mention I love these?

 The bridge

Tonights sunset was gorgeous. It's starting to feel more and more like summer on days like today!

The knot

I tried out the knotted pony via The Beauty Department and I liked it! It stayed in surprisingly well and I even was laying in bed doing my online class and it didn't all fall out.

I did it a little messier than the one on the blog.

"Somebody" told me a couple days ago that this should be my theme song:



I am going to take that one as a compliment? Yepp i'll focus on the good things he's saying about the girl. 


"She's as pretty as a picture
Every bit as funny as she is smart
Got a smile that'll hold you together
And a touch that'll tear you apart
When she's yours she brings the sunshine
When she's gone the world goes dark
Yeah she's heaven on the eyes
But boy she's hell on the heart"



Sorry boy who told me this... I know you're not reading this (which is a good thing) but I can't help that I wasn't that into you.
