Oh Liberty.

My Grandpa has a wonderful cabin in Liberty (about 15 min from Pineview Res.). Growing up we would spend a lot of time there with all the cousins. I can honestly say some of my favorite memories were here. It was the best place for tubing, relaxing, hanging out, lots of card games, just spending time with family. I am so grateful to have a place like this to go, it's so wonderful. It's a great place to just catch your breath and get some mountain air. LIberty I love you.

Blythe, this one is for you!

Blythe, Bria, Tonya and I realized how long it had been since we had played jump rope.  Oh my goodness... it was so sad but funny.  While hanging out, Blythe wanted to jump rope so we all decided to do it.  One problem the rope was really short.  I'm going to say that is why it was so difficult.  It would have nothing to do with being in shape, right?  Hey Bria just a heads up, the pantry is right behind you...
Aunt Tonya's turn.  Now this was a little more difficult as you can see...Blythe and Bria are not quite the same height...

Action shot of Bria, well all three really!  What a great picture!  Look at Blythe's little hands!

Blythe concentrating getting ready to jump.  She did such a great job!  What a fun night!

Louisiana!

I had a wonderful opportunity to go spend 2 weeks with my Gramma in "Paradise." We had so much fun hanging out.  We spent lots of time on her wonderful porch.  We watched Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and the History channel.  We spent a great amount of time talking about what is going on in the world and always had the globe handy.  We ate chocolate ice cream every night, drank Coke in the glass bottles.  We saw deer and wild geese out in her lawn. We went on her golf cart and drove around.  It was amazing!  I will never forget it!This is my Gramma's house!  I love this sight!

My adorable cousins Savannah and Summer!  Aren't those azaleas so beautiful?

My cousin Natalie, Trevor's girlfriend Coco and me eating Crawfish at Sunset Point!  So Yummy!  What a wonderful night!  

Aunt Camille, Natalie and me...same story.  Thanks Aunt Camille!  I had so much fun with you and Natalie!  Driving in the bug with the top down listening to great music, amazing shakes from Chick-fil-a, lunch at Coffee Rani, shopping, and of course plenty of catching up!  What a great trip!  I can't wait to go back down!  I love it so much there!

Rainbow Rock

I realized my love for art in High School.  I didn't really know that I was capable of creating things in this way until my art class my Junior year.  After graduating, I stopped drawing and it wasn't until November that I really felt like I needed to create something.  I never used oil paint in High School, really my favorite medium was pencil.  I was a little familiar with acryllic but really didn't know much about oil but felt I should give it a shot.  Last April my mom and I had a chance to visit my sister Shelly in Hawaii!  It was  a wonderful trip...  Her backyard had a cliff and the ocean of course.  It was amazing there was also this rock called Rainbow Rock, I'm not exactly sure where that name came from but it was so beautiful.  I painted this is November as a birthday present for Shelly.  After all these months I am finally posting it.  I know that it is no where near what I wanted it to look like but I usually have pretty ridiculous expectations for myself.  Happy late birthday Shell!  I loved every minute in Hawaii and especially Rainbow Rock well and of course the wonderful food....

California

These pics are in reverse order and I'm not sure what to do about it so I'm just going to leave them...sorry!

After a very rainy day at Disneyland I  changed into my pj's and slept until about 11 the next day.  Man did I feel old.  I just keep telling myself it was the wetness...
My foot.  I know this is a horribly taken picture.  I was just so tired I knew that I had to document a picture of my foot and this is all that I have...My shoes (converse sneakers) soaked all the way through and my feet were wet for 77% of the day.
C is for Cristy and C is for California...
And C is for Churros.  I love churros.  I ate 2 and 1/2.  YUM!
At the Orange County (John Wayne) Airport.  Bria and me with John Wayne.  

Just a little disclaimer...I love disneyland and had so much fun I just only have kind of sad pictures because it was rainy.  It really was such a wonderful day.  Rainy days at Disneyland mean no lines!  Boy that is definitely important when you go for only one day!  

Healing Arts Bodywork

I recently opened a massage therapy practice.  I'm very excited about it, I haven't had a lot of business yet but I do have to start somewhere.  I found this great space on Main street and it really is perfect.  It's a big room, well bigger than anything I would ever need.  It has great energy, I still can't believe that it is my office.  Another great thing, I control the temperature which is really nice when doing bodywork.  I'm excited for things to pick up but in the meantime I'm just excited that I'm finally doing what I love and actually getting paid for it!
