Thanksgiving: The Girls

ANdrew and I went to AZ for our Thanksgiving break! We just loved hanging out with Amy's girls! So naturally I took lots of pictures! Andrew had Pneumonia when we left and in one of the pictures you can see him hacking to death.

He's OK now!

One last crappy roommate update: Angel gets evicted.

OH MY GOODNESS. I am so happy this is happening!

Unfortunately I don't have pictures of her getting evicted because it was done via phone call. but I promise you if any force is needed to kick her out...there won't be any pictures because I'll be too busy forcing her out.


LOVE LAURA!

Japanese Restaurant Logo

Hey....Look what I can do!

I designed a logo for class, Shamoji means "rice paddle" in Japanese but has a sweet connection. The rice paddle is passed from mother to daughter as a representation of the passing of duties.

I thought it was quaint.

One last crappy roommate: UPDATE- Angel gets arrested.

That's right folks my roommate got arrested yesterday because of...are you ready for this it's a shocker!

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

Don't worry I was at my bridal shower when it all went down.

The story goes she freaked out on my roommate Jo and shoved her, Jo who is what I like to call a dormant gangster chick, went berzerk and punched her twice. Then I guess they kept fighting back and forth before Angel finally called the cops. Angel's story kept changing and when she mentioned she had a few warrants they cuffed her, almost immediately.

To make matters worse I guess our landlord was here showing the house to a potential renter when she was arrested.

OH and by the way....

I have pictures ;)  *Hopefully this is good enough for you J'ness!*

Angel getting arrested!

And here is the Utah County information on her arrest...They make it so easy to copy and paste.

Someone actually bailed her out!

Caught up

Man life is hectic right now, I'd like to think I've never been so busy in my life. I can't sleep so I'm going to get caught up with some things. (mostly for myself but you of course can read it, I'm ok with that.)

I miss taking my camera out and shooting a roll of film in a day, I'm going to shoot tomorrow and hopefully get some of my famous film pictures on here! Shooting film is such a release for me, I'm so excited to start developing my own film again next semester. This time it will be large format film and I will work very hard for my images, and I know I'm going to love every minute of it.


My classes are so taxing and so rewarding, I can't believe I'm this far.....I have so long to go.


Work is amazing, I seriously could not get through the day without my best friends! Clients and co-workers they are my support in most things and always cheer me up in the morning. I have the best boss's who treat us well and help where they are needed. We are so lucky to have that. 


Andrew is my life, and we have been through hell (for lack of better words) our relationship has shifted from one extreme to the other in a matter of months and that in itself has been a huge strain. We have had to learn to love each other in an eternal sense, and with that comes struggles and compromises. Andrew has made such a huge change to allow me into his world this way. We are both learning how to love one another correctly and with respect. It's very hard, but very worth it. We have grown so close to our God in heaven and so much closer than we'd ever thought to each other. I'm so lucky to have such a great guy, I'm amazed everyday that I have someone who loves me so much for who I am...all of me no matter what. 


I have health issues due to what I believe is stress, add all this to EVERYTHING ELSE makes me quite cranky. But I'm thankful for happy days when health is good. 


I am so sick of my current living situation that if I weren't getting hitched I'd be getting outta dodge quick! I miss my roommates, the real ones. The ones who ALL moved away in the fall. They were pretty great you know, I wish I spent more time with them. 


This is my favorite time of year, I feel that the summer has lasted longer than it should and blessed us with warmer weather (I hear it snows tomorrow) I enjoyed the tail end of it this last week. 


My bridal shower is Saturday!!! I'm so excited to see my friends!!!!!! 


Now here are some photos!

Funny bad pictures

These aren't "BAD" but I wouldn't use them on our invites, but our children will SO know how goofy we were.

My personal favorite

Never really see the bad pictures?

So I've been thinking of dedicating a few posts to the not so flattering (but hilarious) engagement shots. I'm so very thankful to Skoticus for doing our photography as our wedding gift, because he knows us both so well and because it's free! (well mostly I did help out with his wedding a bit)

The next few shots tell the story of Andrew being athletic for a moment and getting hurt in the process. Of course, Scott being an awesome photographer got the whole thing! It was pretty funny when we saw them all!


"Hey Andrew, you should jump and grab the wooden beam!'

Something's wrong

Here comes nervous!

Ahhhhh!

It's REALLY BAD!

Let me take care of you!

More to come soon!

Photo Project: Give Andrew a Couple of Camera's and See What He Does With Them.

Andrew recently left for a church trip back east to see some of our LDS  history. He was gone for a week and I certainly wouldn't let him leave with out at least 2 camera's one of which was my fisheye lomo. 

He did an excellent job! 

And there were a few shots left....and of course we had to use them! 

I couldn't think of a better reason to smooch!
