65GB

That's right... on top of finishing up a degree @ BYU and work as a massage therapist... I have been pursuing a love... and in the past few months I have had some incredible photo opportunities...AND with midterms have gotten a little backed up...that's right 65GB backed up. It's not really that bad considering that I shoot in raw--which is, in the words of Pulitzer Prize winning Brian Smith "the only thing to do..." in fact he said "to not do so would be like taking only Polaroids."

Most can be categorized quite simply as:

People I Love: FAMILY!!!--my family--most especially Sydney, Stockton, Samantha, Hadyn & Olivia

The Gospel of Jesus Christ: GOD!!!, although this is a part of all the dimensions in my life it is also the best way to categorize somethings such as opportunities sharing the joy of the Gospel with people, or notes from a BYU Devotional or a CES Fireside etc. I love the Lord and hope to share that knowledge with everyone I meet.

Fabulous Vacations: TRAVEL!!!--Mexico, Maine, Arizona/Grand Canyon (with recaps of Europe & Washington to come)

Massage/Life Therapy: MASSAGE!!!Something that brings me great joy is helping people and since I get paid to do it...it actually makes for a VERY great trade-off...and as I realized today...I can acquire clients anywhere and then vacation there while building my business, travel and life experience!

Great memories captured: PHOTOS!!!--the opportunity to capture those memories for my family as well as for others is something I truly love--it is almost as though i can make a moment stand still in time. The joy of a child laughing, the sorrow of loss, the excitement for the future, a couple in love!!!

Suicide Prevention: PREVENT!!!...yes if you know anything about me you probably already know that since I lost my brother Scott to suicide in 2006 I will do all that I can to help others and prevent suicide as the social epidemic that it is. If you have a problem with this...

AND as always the incredibly random: RANDOMNESS!!!... Everything from cooking tips to decorating tips to tricks about stain removal... Wow... it's as though I am a Home & Family Living Major @ BYU and that ever since the time I was a little girl I have wanted to grow up and be the ideal wife and mother...

I guess this should be entitled my lifelong dream or Home & Family Living: HOME!!!...Which leads me to my next topic...

Epiphanies/Late Night Ramblings: EPIPHANIES!!!--quite self-explanatory.

Finally... DREAMS!!! Things that I desire to do with my life. I want to more actively speak of the desires of my heart as an exercise of faith that those things will be realized, and offer gratitude to God for the dreams accomplished!!! 4 Years ago I made a list of "impossible dreams..." And so far i've accomplished 50% of those...so IT IS TIME TO START MAKING AND ACCOMPLISHING MORE!!!

Tendin' Liv... Love tendin'' Liv!





A Great Birthday Surprise...

Happy Birthday Mike! A group of us pitched in to send a friend home to see his family and be with his sister when she reports her mission--it was one of the highlights of the semester.
