Lately.

So I pretty much just jumped on board the Hunger Games train (like last week) & I am LOVING THEM! 
I just started the third book! 
However, I will say that I do get frustrated at times because I don't agree with Katniss' every decision, and I cannot predict what she is going to do next. But I think that is what makes the books so addicting!


And, I love reading them on my new Kindle! She's so pretty! 

Adventures in Moab

So Andrew has been working in Moab for the past few months now. Ever since he started we tried to find a good time for me to visit him, but I had been so busy, etc. etc. I finally found some time in December and we spent a couple days just chilling in Moab. (Remember it's actually winter here, so it is their off season.)
He took me to all the good thrift shops. Oh, yeah! And we went on a pretty bumpy dare-devil drive in one of the canyons. I think my jeep was finally glad to be put to real use!


 
Just finding some fresh spring water! 




 A together shot.



And as we passed through Helper, you bet we took a picture with the giant man.

My new journal

For this new year and years to come, I have made myself my own sort of perpetual journal. I found the idea from  Ashley Ann Photography  through Design Sponge (which you should check out, because they are fabulous blogs!). 
The idea of this journal is to write down one thing you did/felt/experienced each day. After the first year, you will be able to look back at each day over the growing years.

Totally cute, right? 
Well it is only day 3 of the new year, so if you want one too, it won't take long to catch up!

So Christmas has already come and gone! And so has 2010!

*Julie stage managed A Christmas Carol at the Hale Center Theater
