Just Living.

Yes. The rumors are true. I did, in fact, win, the 'Worst Blogger of the Year' award. So, in order to correct this title, I have decided to start blogging again. So in no particular order, here are a few (ok many) pics of the last three months of my life.

I've worked A LOT on my AP Photography portfolio. Here's a little sample.











Laken did a cheer clinic at the school and she was a little cutie pie of course!






I took my chillins out a couple times. I don't see them so much anymore cause I'm so busy, but I love the occasional trip to the park!







Homecoming week was so fun. I went with a good friend, Taylor. Carlee and I were in the Homecoming parade. I'm on the HOSA council and Carlee was on Homecoming royalty (and won Homecoming Queen! Fun times)







Carlee and I took a weekend trip to Provo and got to stay with Niki. Love my sisters
!




We also went to a little family get together in Pinto (out in Pine Valley) for a couple days.






I got to take some fun family pics for some of my favorite people!








We through a masquerade party which was such a blast!

Well that wraps up the past couple months of my life. I'll try and post more often! Life's crazy! Love to all.

Here We Go...

Wow. I've been out of town since my last post. crazy life. Well this is going to be the longest post you'll ever endure. I'll break it up into five sections. Girls Camp. 4th of July. Cali Trip. East Coast Trip. UBW. And here we go...

Girls camp was so much fun. I'm Laurels President and it is the joy of my life. We had so many first years and they were all unbarably adorable. Here are a few pics from the week. . .






I got to spend the 4th of July with my snister which was priceless. My dad bought us tickets to see the JoBros at the Stadium of Fire, because he is the best. It was a great night. I love my family!







I got to go back to Cali with my best friend Carlee for a whole week. Can you say relaxing? We took some sr pics while we were in san clemente.








I got to go on the most amazing trip of my life with my dad to look at colleges on the east coast. We went to George Mason, Johns Hopkins, Yale, UVA, and SVU. I've always wanted to live in Virginia, and this was a dream come true for me. My dad is amazing. I wish I could put all 700 pics on here, but for times sake i'll only post a few. i could write for hours about it, but I won't. It was amazing. life changing. if you really want details call me and i'll talk your ear off. Here are a couple. . To see more pics of the trip, here is a link to my facebook album: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=145189&id=534750445&l=e2c4d18b79

After a red eye flight back to Salt Lake I went straight up to Logan at USU to attend Utah Business Week. It was very intense, but very rewarding. My 'firm' took 3rd place out of 40 and my company took 2nd out of 10. It was very cool. But boy am I glad to be home :)

Company B!

51.

So I totally missed my 50th post celebration. So here is my 51st post celebration...yay. Well life is about to get pretty busy and I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again. This weekend I head up to Provo for a week and a half, come back and go to girls camp the next day, come back and go to cali the next day, come back then go to Utah Business Week the next day, run a half marathon the day UBW ends, head down to warped tour in SLC, head home, start school. Yes. Exciting stuff. So I am enjoying the peace of having nothing to do for now. I put together a little video for the 1 year anniversary of my photog business - it's crazy to see how time passes so fast and slow all at the same time. Here's the the link if you want to watch it. Well Happy Fathers Day to my loving dad, who is always there for me when I need him. And Happy Fathers Day to Dave, he's a great example to have in our family.

Ok so here's the best part of this post. My best friend turned 19!!! yay!! I have the best sister on earth. I thought my life was over when she left for college. But we've grown even closer. I think it's safe to say that we talk on the phone at least twice a day. Sad, weird, hilarious. yes. It's a good thing she's in my fave 5 :) ha jk. ok So here's my tribute to my flava flavorite sister. I love ya snis!

Yes.

It's official. I have started a new phase. I found in my life, that if I put a lot of money towards a phase it will stick longer. My new phase is running. I am a horrible runner but that is soon to change. I decided that if I was going to stick to this, I would have to invest in it. And that is exactly what I did. May I introduce you to the Mizuno Wave Inspire 5. My new pair of running shoes. They rock my world. I went to the new running shoe store here in St. George, and let me tell ya, they don't mess around. I had to walk around for them so they could determine what kind of shoe would work best for my feet. Then I proceeded to try on 6 different shoes, a different style on each foot, run up and down the sidewalk outside, and see if I liked them or not. In the end, I picked these beauties. Now I'm addicted. I carry them around with me, make anyone near me smell their new shoe aroma, and have a special spot for them in my room. I'm obsessed..but I love it!

New Logo!

I got a logo for my business! So exciting. All credit goes to Devin Miller. So what do you think? Thoughts? Feelings? I'm open for suggestions. 

Home Sweet Home.

A couple Sunday's ago, I was being bummed in church because my babies (the Woods) were gone. My mom told me she was sick of me being bummed and moping around all time. So she kicked me out of the house...well the state. She sent me to San Clemente to spend a couple days with my babies. Thankfully Jamie was ok with it, so I spent five blissful days at the beach. Today was my return date, but due to some difficulties I could not return home. So I get to spend another week here..yay!?... I miss my mommy. But I won't complain. Because the beach is near, I'm with my dad, and Jamie is a mere thirty minutes away. Here are a couple shots of us this week. 

The Hapnins.

So I thought it was about time I give a little update for all my readers....Mom.
Anyway, I have discovered, time doesn''t stop. No matter how hard you try or how nice you ask it, it just keeps a comin. I took my AP US History exam Friday, and am now studying for my AP Biology exam tomorrow. My life has been studying. When I'm not studying I'm taking pictures, editing pictures, or posting pictures. It's been a busy couple of weeks.
I am also suffering a baby loss. Jade ditched me for Canada, my little Wood children jammed over to Cali, and I was stuck childless. Who is going to laugh at my jokes, or go to the park with me? Well fate stepped in. At the same time my children left, my Young Womens got completely rearranged. One of the new leaders was Sara Stubbs, the wife of David's best friend. Who just so happens to have two gorgeous children. Needless to say, I see her on a dailly basis now. It doesn't hurt she lives on the street behind me either. Okay I am aware I probably sound like a creeper, but anyone who knows me knows that I have to have kids around me that I can pretend are mine. And pretty awesome friends AKA Sara. I'm rambling. This is what happens when the computer room is over 90 degrees hot. I start getting light headed and ramble.
To wrap things up, the next time I post will probably when school gets out, so I will see you all then. Here are some pics of Sara's fam, it was her birthday so we did a little fam photo shoot. Peace. Love. Gap.
