Photo Dump Day

I should have done this a long time ago. After all, I have this nifty card adapter thing that jessica borrows on a near daily basis (I love you Jessica!) and it's about time I use it.

Ooh Pretty!

So here are all of the pictures that have accumulated on my phone as of late.

A pretty rainbow outside of work.

Playing cards with my siblings. Kaiti and Kyli decided to give me buns.

From the back...

My wedding ring all shiny after the amazing work done by Kay Jewlers.

LDS missionaries at Gunnies looking at the rifles

Work boredom in the form of plastic bubble potato heads.

You can see my candy-cane light and ice decorations behind him.

This one's story is a little bit longer. Alan and I decided that we wanted to go to strawberry reservoir fishing, so we gathered up our stuff and convinced my brother Daniel (Pictured above) and Alan's dad to come with us. We fished for a couple of hours with no luck. Daniel and I became bored, and noticed the crawdads in the lake, and decided to catch them. So with nothing more than a net and very quick fingers, we caught over 30 of them! Our total when we came home? No fish, 30 crawdads. This is the trophy picture we took for Daniel's fishing patch for scouts, to prove he did catch something, and I believe he caught both of them with his BARE HANDS! Way to go Daniel!

So you think you can dance, Gold's gym style.

Alan and I were working out the other day when what to my wondering eyes should appear...

Ok, I know you probably cannot see that very well, (I was trying to be inconspicuous, and was taking the picture over Alan's shoulder) but it's Ryan, from last season's So You Think You Can Dance. And here is the hunky close up picture of him.

I had no idea that Gold's had such regular celebrity appearances. Needless to say, I will be going back more often ~_^

Birdie!

I was in the breakroom today getting lunch, when I came across this little guy sitting by the window. He looks like he's a baby Peregrine Falcon, probably born this year sometime. It looks like their next is right above this, so he probably fell about 20ft.

Fortunately my dad knows some falconers, so hopefully they'll be able to come and either get him back to his nest or take care of him.

Oh my gosh! I love this idea!

Upload success!

Thanks to wordpress, livejournal, and this blog post I have now updated all of my posts from suffrinsucatash and tentegang! I'm so proud of myself! The next step is to read through all of them!

Ancient history

I've been keeping myself busy over the past few days. I have never been one to keep a journal. my posts jump back and forth so much, so that I resolve that I'm going to keep one, and my next entry isn't for another year. However, I have been pretty good with electronic media.

My first blog was on livejournal with the good old Tent E gang. It was started after Aubrey and I went to go watch Holes in the movie theater, and decided that we wanted cool nicknames too! Me (Fang), Aubrey (Pockets), Jenni (Hairball), Cameron (Flip), Austin, (Spaz), Mike (GusGus), Adam (Glitch), Marianne (UK or Red), Lou (Chotti) and Alyssa (Mole). Thus, a blog was founded where we could talk about our lives. The logistics of that many people all sharing a blog are kind of staggering to think of now. And yet, it worked.

After that, we mostly all split up to our separate blogs, and I switched to a livejournal entitled suffrinsucatash. This one was mine and mine alone! I started out strong with it, but faded as I got caught up with life in general. With the two blogs still active I didn't post much, but I did keep up a running email back and forth with Sven that spanned about two years. I saved every last email in a word document, and if you ignore the sappy romantic stuff, It's probably the best record I have of that time in my life.

While working at Bluehost I kind of started another blog, this time a wordpress. I liked it, but it never got far. I got married, and didn't really have then energy to write much.

We move out to MN for Alan's job with APX, and I started this blogger blog to join the hip crowd of APX wives. I've kept it ever since.

So suddenly yesterday while I was updating this blog I thought back to all of those posts, and realized I really didn't want to lose them. Ever since then I have been trying to get my old posts and such into this blog. I have been able to transfer most of them to wordpress, so that I have backup number one, but I'm also trying to transfer them here, which is proving to be difficult as Blogger doesn't really play very nice with the other blog programs. Wish me luck!

New Blog Look

My blog has been updated! The old blog look:

And the new one:

I'm really liking it! I think it fits my current lifestyle and mood better than the other one. Let's face it, I'm not the most together person out there and that other layout was way too zen for my life. Not to mention it had a baby, and that's just misleading. The wide freaked-out eyes with huge bags underneath, disheveled hair, pale skin from sitting too long in front of the computer...Yeah, it all fits.

Let me know what you think!
