finally...S.W.A.G!

Last night we got invited to go to a Ski Utah presentation at Picturline in Salt Lake. Kevins photographer Steven Lloyd was asked to give a presentation and slideshow of his work. Another one of Ski Utah's main photographers, Dan Cambell, who does lifestyles, was also asked to give a presentation. Ski Utah also asked if Kevin would come to talk about Still Shots because they really love his idea. Kevin was a little nervous while we were driving down there, and I was too. Anytime I have to go and listen to someone I know give a speech, I get just as nervous, if not more so. This comes from my incredibly, enormous fear of public speaking. I hate it. I wont do it. And I know this is something I probably should get over and work on, but frankly, I don't care too.
So knowing that I would get nervous and get stressed, I didn't want to go. But of course Kevin talked me into it and promised we could go and get a treat after ( I know Im like a little kid, but it worked). So I went and their was a huge turnout, the place was packed. This just made me even more nervous. But when Kevin went up to give his speech he did an awsome job! I was so proud of him (and so relieved it was over). Everyone loved his idea, and loved his episode that he showed. Ladies were gasping when kevin was climbing the cliff, and the guys were wondering how he got the cool camera angle. He loved it. Steve also did a fantastic job, his images are so awesome. Everyone loved his slideshow.
At the end of the night, they did a raffle. I never win free stuff. But ever since being married to Kevin, this has all changed. I don't know how he does it, but he gets everything for free. So of course we both won at the raffle! He won some Hot Chillys underwear that he was really excited about, and I won a pictureline blanket and a day pass to Solitude (which is my resort of choice right now). So by and by, it was a really good night. Yeah I was stressed, and nervous, but I got some S.W.A.G (stuff wives all get), got to watch my big time husband speak, and got icrecream.

If anyone wants to watch my husbands Still Shots episode, become a fan of Still Shots on facebook.

burger or booger?

So don't think I am mentally handicapped with my past post and this...

For some reason, I have never been able to figure out how to decipher the two words burger and booger. Whenever I want to say burger, I saw booger. Whenever I want to say booger, I say burger. My brain cant figure it out. I can even concentrate hard and say the wrong thing.

Just last night we were driving to disco skating at classic skating (ooh yeah) and along the freeway I would see billboards and just randomly sing them out. Well we pass a Five Guys Burger and Fries and I tried to sing that out (with concentration) but it came out "Five Guys BOOGER and Fries!!" Maybe I am mentally retarded.

my niece hadley

She has gotten so big just recently. I got to spend some time with her the other day and I couldnt believe how much older she acts. She screams and likes to make noises now, and they are the girliest, cutest noises ever.

stupid door knob...

I always have funny stories to tell from sleeping.
Last night, and every night, I wake up in the middle of the night having to go to the bathroom REALLY REALLY bad.
A little background: I have always had this problem. I know this isn't something to brag about, but when I was young my parents had to try many, many different methods on how to treat my peeing my bed every night. Now no one make fun of me, I know all you out there had this same problem. Well we tried the good-night diapers or whatever they were called, the plastic sheets (those were the worst), we even tried a vibrator. They made me wear my little brothers funny underwear and we would put a vibrator in the little pocket in the front that would go off whenever it sensed something warm and wet. I would always wake up all wet, with this stupid vibrator just starting to go off. The method that ended up working was this magical spray that I would spray in my nose every night. It really was magical. It worked, and just like that I had no more problems. I learned to wake up in the middle of the night before I had an accident.
Well this has since continued with me waking up every night. Like I said I had to go really really bad, so I hop up and stumble to the door and the stupid knob comes off! The door would not open. I tried putting the knob back on, but since it was early in the morning, and dark (theres no way I was going to turn the light on, I would have kevin to face) I couldnt open the door. It felt like the end of the world. I really was going to have to HOLD IT ALL NIGHT?? I heard kevin rustling in the sheets and whispered to him that I couldnt open the door that the stupid knob had come off. He didnt respond, so I just had to go back to bed. It took me forever to go back to sleep.
Well come to find out, I tell kevin this morning and he just started laughing and said he was awake the whole time but didnt what to get out of bed to help me. Even though when he woke up in the morning, he opened the door in 10 seconds. Unfair.

valentines day

So for Valentines Day we had planned to go skiing during the day, go to a movie afterwards, then come back home and make pizza together, drink some bubbly, and just have a romantic night together. Well this all changed when we woke up. I woke up with a bad stomach ache and ill just say you know what, if you don't know what, then lucky you. After this first episode, kevin brought me flowers and pepto-bismol in bed, how romantic! He did a really good job with picking out my flowers, they were beautiful. Right after I finished the pepto, it came right back up. And this was how our day went. Every 20 minutes or so I had to head to the bathroom to either throw-up, you know what, or most of the time-both. Quite tiring. I even had the great idea of taking a hot shower when I thought I was feeling ok, and blacked out twice while in the shower. So I hurried as fast as I could out of the shower to get to our bed and passed out on the way, and smacked right into the hall wall and onto the ground. I got a few bruises on my arm (Kevin says I need to learn to fall better haha). So while I layed in bed all day long, Kevin cleaned the house. He cleaned our room, did our laundry, cleaned the kitchen and living room, did the dishes, and he even deep cleaned the bathroom. This probably took him 3 hours. And every half our or so he would pop his head in to see how I was doing. What a great husband. He took care of me all day, spent all day with me, and even cleaned the house. He even went and got me all different kinds of gatorades to make sure he got the kind I liked. He even cleaned up all my messes I made in the bathroom and in the sink. What a catch I have. So this is a shout out to my husband, that he gave me the best valentines present ever and that I love him so much.

I couldn't find the cord to our camera, so here is what the flowers I got looked like!

tender moments

There are only a few things that bring tears to my eyes (good tears that is). Here are two of them:

1. Beautiful pictures of my husband skiing

2. Tender moments at the airport of arriving and departing passengers


1. Kevin went to Bryce Canyon a few weeks ago with his photographer Steven Lloyd to go shoot. They had gotten a bunch of snow down there this season; the most they have ever gotten. I didn't really believe this, I couldn't picture red rock and snow together. The last day they were there, they were getting packed up and ready to leave the canyon when they saw park officers driving up to them. This scared them; they were skiing in a national park, they could go to jail, and get a federal offense. So steve talked to the officers and played dumb, "Oh really..we CANT ski here? why not?..." They had checked the website and read that snowshoeing and cross-country skiing was allowed, so they took this as an ok to ski for them. They told the officers this and they said that the website was wrong, but since that was up, they couldn't do anything to them. So they just let them off the hook! Well with this exciting story of almost getting put in jail I was hoping they had gotten some good shots out of the experience since they would never be able to go back and ski it again. His photographer emailed him some shots the night they got back and when kevin showed them to me, I got teary eyed. They were beautiful! I cant post them up, but hopefully soon they will be published so then I can show them off.
2. My parents got to go to Kauaii a few weeks ago for their 30th wedding anniversary. Well since I love going to the airport, regardless of going on a trip, I took them and picked them up. When I got to go pick them up, I got up there a little early so I could just park at the passenger pickup and people-watch. I love people watching. Especially at the airport. Well while I was waiting, I saw multiple couples who one spouse was leaving or coming home from a trip. It was so cute to see how sad they were when they were leaving, they would hug and kiss and not want to let go of each other. Or when one spouse was getting home, and how excited both were to see one another,and they would hug and kiss. It literally brought tears to my eyes, seeing how much people loved each other. Tender moments at the airport are the best.
