Just a Little Food for Thought.

It's been quite a weekend. Mom and I ended up at this sleepover thing hosted by one of the personalities on B98.7, a local Salt Lake radio station. It turned out to be just a lot of vendors peddling their stuff, and mostly really boring. Highlights included a yummy roll filled with ham and cheese, and mom and me sitting down in the lobby of the Hilton (where the party was held) talking about fun stuff, I only went because I wanted to spend more time with mom - so to be with her made it much less boring! We have such a fun time together.
Anyway, I just wanted to post this, it's my favorite poem - helps me through so many times of doubt and sadness. Here you go - and here's to a beautiful week!

XXXII

HOPE is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard; 5
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I ’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea; 10
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
- Emily Dickinson

More Barbecue Madness! I Love It!

Did I mention that we had such a blast at this Week Of Welcome RHA Barbecue! I so enjoyed talking to everyone - we even signed up to win an iPod from the on-campus radio Fusion HD3 - I'm listening right now for them to call my name! Anyway, I had so much fun taking pics around the bbq - the hot dogs were pretty good. So, the pictures tell the story of fun in the sun! Happy first week of school to all of you out there. We wish you the best this semester!Now that I'm done with my blog post I can tell you that they didn't call my name for the iPod :(

And on an unrelated note - how darn cute is this? Click on it to enlarge and read!Head to the LemonLime Photography Blog to see the whole setup!

Bullen Hall Staff

Our friend Aldo, who happens to be the Graduate Resident Director over in Bullen Hall on the USU campus, asked me to take pictures of him and his staff last Wednesday. Things have been so crazy and I finally got them all edited. It was great getting to know everyone a little better! Thanks Aldo!

The Parks Take 2

I was able to do two family sessions with the Parks - for this one I suggested that they wear their University of Utah garb. Dave graduated from the U and they're big fans! So we had a great time on this second shoot - here are some of my favs!
