New Layout!

How do you like my new summer layout? I have been trying really hard to get better at photoshop, and I think it is working- the Blog Header is completely my own creation! Here are a few other headers I have made by myself in the past too- and a flag graphic I made this morning- the flag graphic is a little bit rough, but I still think the design direction is cute!




This one had a cute outer reaching border but it was too large to load on here, those of you who got to see it before I changed the layout may have seen it.
Here is the flag design, I think it is cute.


and finally the graduation announcement I made for Chelsea:

More stuff to come soon!

Second Attempt

Okay I am going to try this again, despite the grudge I feel against blogger right now for randomly deleting the post I worked so hard on last night. But the prophet says I should forgive so... ;)

Scott and I are currently in sunny sunny....well cloudy today.... but MOSTLY sunny California. Scotts internship doesn't start until June, and I don't have a job yet, though I am being very diligent, so for the mean time we are just relaxing. We have been here for a week, and have already been to Barnes and Noble TWICE, and I am sure many more times to come, because my cute little husband is OBSESSED with his books. We brought an entire box of books from our house because he just couldn't part with his entire, already three full bookshelves, collection.

Scott has decided to make this his resolution summer. He wants to:
  • Lose 20 lbs, and so far he has been running everyday diligently.
  • Read all of the books he brought.
  • Refresh his Chinese, which he is doing daily with flashcards.
  • Read the DSM-V and its accompanying Case Book so he can be a better psychology major.

So there you have it, a few of the things my husband is working on. That was one of the reasons I married him, he was always working on improving himself, and I liked that he was someone I could grow with. I need to remember that more often, especially when I get impatient with his newest endeavours, ha ha, and I just need to brag a little bit, because Scott and I both got 4.0's this last semester, although mine isn't a big deal, I had easy classes. Scott on the other hand had 18 credits, and worked his booty off with some of the keystone classes in his major. Plus, this is nothing new, Scott has a history of fantastic grades, and right now is on the track to graduate Summa Cum Laude- I keep telling him he will be valedictorian at this rate- ha ha well, maybe not but I still think he is the tops.

So I am finally a college graduate, but I have to say that the four years just flew by! College was an interesting journey, and so much happened, but I think just like with High School, I am ready again to leave this chapter behind and pursue the next. I don't mean leave the people I love behind or forget my journey, just that I am ready and prepared for the next adventure, and welcome the change. When we get back to Logan in the fall I will have to do some vigourous searching to figure out what kind of job I will pursue, or even have the opportunity to obtain, but I just keep telling myself that everything will be okay in the end, and things will work out.

I have gotten hooked on a show called "The Millionaire Matchmaker." It is not the most classy show, but as a sociology student I find the social commentary it poses about our culture positively fascinating, and I can't get enough. It just astounds me the way that some people live their lives! Anywho today there is a 6 hour marathon, and guess who is recording every episode....yep...and I can't wait to watch every one ha ha. Don't worry I won't make Scott watch it, he has his own guilty pleasure to enjoy....

BECAUSE

I let him buy a video game to play on our families Wii- now those of you who know me know how opposed I am to video games I have always found them a major waste of time, and feel bad for all the girls I know with husbands who spend more time with their nunchucks and controllers than they do with their wives. But, Scott is very good, and he knows when to stop, and rarely plays because he knows how much it bothers me, so when we found the game he had been raving about at Costco for $15 I gave in. Hopefully he enjoys the game, and doesn't abuse my flexibility too much.

I mentioned all of Scott's goals earlier, and other than finding a job, I have my own singular goal: become a better photo documenter- I want to take lots of pictures of this summer adventure we have embarked on, so wish me luck, and hopefully I will be able to post lots of fun pictures these next few months.

Love you all!
