What I've been up to since I don't have a job...

Well, mostly school work and cleaning! We leave for Tennessee around the 30 of April and there is a lot to think of before we head out. Lots of boring life things that aren't much fun to discuss on a blog! SO what we/I've been doing!

Shooting final large format project in SLC

I originally wanted to shoot a friend of a friend of an aunts sister but she was too busy and couldn't fit into my schedule. Sad day. BUT I did have a stroke of genius and decided to shoot in SLC and do something out of the ordinary architecture! WAHOO!
So I drove all the way out there to take the WHOLE day shooting, taking my time admiring the sights, smelling the air and being crafty in my favorite medium.

I was actually pretty excited about it but....


  1. The camera had issues- Major ones. 
  2. Missed my chance to shoot Elder L Tom Perry he was standing behind me on the conference center roof talking to my escort, admiring the camera I assume, cause who wouldn't?! I was too busy fiddling with the darn thing.
  3. The knobs froze.
  4. I had to find a hardware store thank goodness for my smart phone! 
  5. Cried on the floor of Ace Hardware surrounded by tools trying to loosen the knobs.
  6. Old man helped me but refused my hug. 
  7. Finally got thing to work but then I couldn't shut it! 
  8. Figured it out after crying more and praying. 
  9. Stopped by a cop at the library and had to get photo permit before I could finish shooting.
  10. Finished shooting YAY.
  11. Got kicked off UTA by cops because I thought it was free. Apparently it's not. 



This man was way cool! He said to me "why you no have kids?" I said "cause I just got married" the he said "oh! That's no good. A family without children is like a garden with out flowers"

*Hug*



These cops asked me if I'd been unsure if the UTA was free or not why didn't I ask them? I said" because I "thought you were crossing guards."

 Ahhh. It's over, time for lunch!

Finals are over for Andrew yay! So we had a dinner party with some old friends of mine in the 189th ward.
