When I was little, I used to pretend I was a horse. Or a wolf. Sometimes a tiger. Whatever suited my fancy. I was one of thooose girls. I didn't really play with dolls or put on lipstick and wear my mom's heels. Instead, I created elaborate stories in my head and played them out for hours, sometimes days, until the story was complete.

As I got older, I thought for a time that I wanted to be a writer. Instead of acting out the stories in my imagination, I tried to put them on paper. I would sit down and start these grand novels, only to begin another one after a few chapters in the first. I had every intention of finishing them. I just... never did. Apparently writing isn't my strong suit.

Then I found a camera. Jackpot. I found a way to stop time. To tell real stories. The kind of stories that should be remembered. Need to be remembered. Stories full of life and love that beg to be preserved and shared.

So I guess you could call me a story teller. A really, really ridiculously blessed and happily married story teller who can't cook but laughs a lot and has three dogs. I love my life.

And I'd love to tell your story : )

Friday Fun Facts

I got home from Texas yesterday, and today I’m off to South Dakota for a wedding! Quite the turn around. In order to be ready for this weekend, I had a nice little list going of all the things I needed to get done yesterday before I left this morning. Charge all batteries, format memory cards, iron pants, vacuum the living room, do a load of laundry, etc. It was a good list.

Well, want to know what wasn’t on that list? (I’ll tell you anyway.) Cleaning POOP off of Frisky’s BACKSIDE. That’s right, I came home to a smiling face, a wagging tail, and a smelly butt. If it’s not the pups barking at porcupines, it’s my little old man soiling himself. Awesome. It’s a good thing that little guy has been around for a while and he’s so stinking cute… Oh who am I kidding. He’s practically my baby. Gotta love him, poopy backside and all. Which leads us to this month’s Friday Fun Facts!!!

1. Pets are family. You may not like them all the time, but you sure do love them.

2. Trader Joe’s needs to come to Utah.

3. It’s a sad, sad day when the to-do list is so big it doesn’t fit on a widget sticky note.

4. Paradise Bakery cookies still taste delicious after almost two weeks. Now that is quality.

5. Guy’s deodorant works better than girl’s deodorant. (I recently ran out of deodorant, and I used a little of Jake’s…)

6. The worst thing about being sick? Sleeping with your mouth open. What an awful taste to wake up to. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that would be an effective torture technique. Make them sleep with their mouths open and then don’t give them mouthwash in the morning. That’ll get some people talking.

7. Waterproof mascara takes waaay too much effort to wash off.

8. Google.com is pure awesome for always changing it’s logo. I mean, it’s like a box of chocolates. You never know what Google you’re going to get.

9. In case you’ve been living under a rock, Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back at Starbucks. Enough said.

10. The world would be a better place if everyone used their turn signals and cruise control.

And because every blog post is better with a picture, here is the dirty little dog himself. Although this is mid and post bath, so he’s actually past the dirty part at this point….

All soapy and wet:

All clean and fluffy:

Happy Weekend!
