i have to take a minute to brag.

i took this picture ALL in camera. I did not edit it to be all swirly like that. i did that ON MY OWN! no photoshop!  I am just so proud!

don't ask me to do it again, i tried and i can't.

but i am quite happy about this!

day 335.

my super sweet friend gave me this for an early christmas present.

i love it!

day 321.

yes, this year we got our tree the day BEFORE thanksgiving, but it worked out best that way.

it was hard choosing my photo of the day for this day, i got a lot of fun photos on this day.

but i like this one. it says it all. andy is thigh deep in this beautiful , freezing white stuff, plowing mightily toward what is soon to become our christmas tree! man, this guy is tough. he nearly passed out after he cut down the thing and dragged it by himself across that crazy deep snow. not to mention it was probably like -10 degrees.

but even he says it was worth it.

the sky was SO blue and the air was SO crisp, and it was SO dang peaceful. It was truly a winter wonderland.

day 311.

parowan, T&A gas station.

Dear apple slicer, where you have you been all my life?

i HATE cutting apples.

day 192.

ha ha.

so i was driving home from Richfield & had to pee SO freaking bad.

I thought i was going to explode and there was not a bathroom in sight.

SO

i pulled over in "Browse", drove up a dirt road, saw this sign,

then peed behind a bush.

it was worth it to find this sign.

day 183.

He loves to help me wash dishes

(yes, by hand)

I think in 10 years, he will change his mind about it.

It takes me longer this way, but at least he is learning some useful life skills.

I'll wash and rinse, then he'll load the dishwasher with them.

sweet boy.
