The not so ugly duckling

We (Joelle, her husband Nate and I) went to go feed the ducks as we were waiting for our batman movie to start. And we found a cute little duckling that said "wee wee wee". It was very precious. No golden eggs though.

Mission Companions

A couple of weekends ago I went down to Utah for a family reunion and also got to see some of my mission companions. Then last Sunday was our mission president's homecoming so I got to see even more of my mission buddies! Here's some pictures of us at temple square and me with my president and his wife.

Belted

So all semester long I had to take images of this belt and at the end of the semester I had to put them all in a book. The images below don't look like the actual book, I cut them in half and made each it's one page. The writing on the left and picture on the right. If I actually took the time to craft the book I probably would have gotten an A, but I had just gotten back from a family reunion and really, what's more important? If you double click the image you'll be able to read the Haiku that goes with the image. Only me.

The Images

What I do for a grade...

So this project for graphic design I had to "show" tattoo popularity in the NBA. The model is a friend of a friend and it was a little awkward taking pictures of him with his shirt off, especially at BYU-I, but for the sake of art it was worth it. And I got an A, which makes it even more worth it. The whole idea is that so many players in the NBA have tats that they might as well tattoo the uniforms on. I'm just glad I didn't have to do it for the WNBA.

Hiking and Snow on the 4th

As my alarm clock went off at 6:30 I had to think, do I really want to do this? But then I decided this is what it was all about, going off on adventures, even if they are early in the morning. Luckily I woke up enough to drive to my friend's house and off we went to the Darby Wind Caves in Targhee National Forest in Wyoming. It took us about an hour to get there, but once we got there it was amazing. It was nice mountain fresh air with the sound of a rushing river in the background. I could have sworn I saw Sasquatch, or maybe it was just Pocahontas running through the color of the winds. The weather was perfect for our hike because it was slightly overcast but still nice and warm. We decided it was probably around 6 miles round trip. Unfortunately we weren't able to go into the actual wind cave because there was too much snow and water! Kristie said that the two other times she had been there, there had never been so much water. We ate lunch underneath the mouth of the cave where a waterfall was coming out. There were lots of watery waterfalls (I didn't want to use pretty because that's so over done when talking about waterfalls!). So the movie is of me bottom sledding (for lack of a better phrase) down a hill. The best part was the sign that said "Please do not cut switchbacks" which we technically did but technically didn't because it was all snow. So I saw snow on the 4th of July. Happy America Day!

FIRE

Pictures from lighting a belt on fire. Don't worry, I had to do it for class.
