my extremely busy life...

I know. I know. I haven't updated my blog in almost 3 months...that's really not THAT long, but still. This semester has been busy. I go to school full time, work part time at the University, serve as chair of a student organization, started the student rep position on a national organization, take pictures in any free time I have...good thing my best friends decided to go to Korea for 6 months. The exciting news is that they will all be home in a MONTH!! Yay!

Stay tuned for more...

adventures of bambi part two [warning: gruesome post]

If you remember the last time I saved bambi (adventures of bambi).... So the morning after Thanksgiving my mom woke me up to save yet another bambi. This one was a lot more stuck in the fence than the last one. Mostly because this part of the fence has barbed wire. I had to actually use the wire cutters to get the leg untangled.One day the little bambi's will learn that if they get stuck in the fence they shouldn't fight it (this is what breaks their legs) I will rescue them and then they will be free to go.

the gilly monster [halloween]

 This Halloween I was able to take the gilly monster trick-or-treating! He was so adorable in his dino costume....as you can see. He loved going around and getting candy.

labor day weekend.

On Labor Day this cute little man and I took a trip up to Bear Lake.

On the North Shore of Bear Lake is this wonderful informational kiosk about the area. Lovely thing about this is I helped design it.

This little sign here, my class partner and I designed. It was for my Environmental Education class.

See. My name is actually on this. I took this loverly picture to go on the signage.

Next, Gil and I went and played on the beach!

Gil loves sand!

Gil was all tuckered out.

All in all. A good bonding day for me and Gil.
