competitive drive revamped

so... here are those pictures that didnt seem to work last time in competitive drive (the first), please re read it if you need the background story to this. these pictures are worth posting again...watch the guy to the right of the bride :



yup, that's my brother:)

The aftermath...

k guys. so i'm finally posting pictures from our super fun trip to denver. However, it has become very apparent that my new years resolution to take more pics isnt going so well so far.
biggest improvement: bringing the camera
still to work on: bringing it out once i get it there, take better pictures--leave candids for the professionals.

we did lots of things, hockey games, meals out, visited dental school, watched the olympics, went to the mall, hanging out, seeing liz and brooke (!! bonus surprises !!), had pizza night, watched the olympics, ate lots of good food, saw mark and evette, and... watched the olympics. and how many of these fabulous things do i have photos of... only the last hour we were there. THAT"S IT!

well anyway, I hope you enjoy them and i'll keep working on my photographer skills.

Carla saving me from a photo alone

the best i could do trying to get burke to look at me

sorry kirst and adam, this was the only one i had of you guys. (And I'd link to your blog, but when i just flipped back and forth , there's a drastic difference between your pics and mine. it's embarressing.)

i'm a loser at heart.

i cant help it... i like this song. Adam wont let me download it. but i just think it'd be really great to drive down 95 with this blasting from my blown out speakers. shameful, i know.

dont ever change your template

Jet Setting

Denver, here we come!

absence makes the heart grow fonder...

the longer i live the more i realize how true this can be...

...there are no dunkin donuts here in Idaho. But Carla sent us a pound that i make some mornings before work and i cherish every sip. (Thanks Carla!)

Mean Face

...this picture resurfaced a couple weeks after work prom. my boss Sara sent it to me. i sure can make a mean face....

wish lists

ok well since the last post seemed to be a big flop do to the fact that i couldnt find a way to post my illustration so everyone could see it.... i figure its time to move on.

I have a shopping bug. The worst part...this is no time to have this bug. But I do. and it's really bad. But i've figured out a solution that seems to be working for now. It's called a wish list. A lot of online shopping sites are having these now. (some have had them for a while). But basically i can go shopping online, find stuff I like, and put it on my "wish list". It saves it and you can make it public or private--public if you are secretly hoping someone might randomly check your favorite site and buy you something on it. I tried to teach adam how to look up my wish lists on my favorite sites... he was surprisingly uninterested.

Anyway, it's the best of both worlds...you can shop and pick things out that you WOULD buy if you had a money tree in your backyard. And you can keep adding to it, just in case some day soon you get a spare chunk of change to spend on something frivolous. I'm not sure i'd classify it as coveting... I like to think of it as pretend shopping. and for now... it's satisfying my bug.
(well...probably a combo of that and the sermon series we've been having on being content with what we have).
