Silly Things

I am not exactly the best at remembering to take pictures when the perfect opportunities present themselves. I notice my lacking every time I think about updating my blog. But there are no pictures to post! Who wants to read words! Plus I can't figure out an efficient way to organize these pictures, so what we will have is a crazy jumble. Oh well. You shall have pictures.

Through a lot of November I spent a lot of time in Las Vegas visiting my parents, Cedar City visiting Mark's parents, and St. George visiting Becca. It was very fun. I went to Katrina's marching band competition! It brought back many awesome memories. Marching band was my favorite part of high school. Becca and I couldn't stop reminiscing... I think I understand the pull of high school sports and reliving the glory days by watching games so much more.

It was freezing.



This is what I look like these days.


Mark gave me a present for my keyring.


Max has gotten fat!


These next pictures are the result of looking through the external hard drive to see where in the world all my music has gone! I do not like updating software and what not. Next time I'll just make Mark reload everything back onto my devices so I don't go crazy.


My point is, that I found some pictures of our trip to Pittsburgh last January that I enjoyed looking at. This trip made it so easy to move to Alabama. Never has a place felt so wrong to me, the people so off. I'm sure its a great place to live, but it sure isn't right for us!


Here we are at the Carnegie Museum(s). It was so awesome! And gigantic!

These dinosaurs came from Price, Utah which kind of tickled us. We loved the dinosaur museum in Price, and that whole set up is due largely to Andrew Carnegie. He dug up the dinos and shipped them to PA! If I'm spouting misinformation, I apologize. Its off the top of my head and I don't feel like fact checking.



Did I mention it was a gigantic museum complex?

I love museums, and it was the highlight of my trip.

We also went to the Andy Warhol museum. Mark was not impressed. He was a weird guy! Mark was mad that Mr. Warhol peed on a canvas and called it art. I liked it. But be warned if you ever venture there! There is an entire floor of Marilyn Monroe, and she's not exactly clothed.

Oh art. How do you feel about fine art and its celebration of the human body? Mark and I have differing opinions.

It was a city. Tiny streets, big buildings all around. No idea why I chose to post this picture, really.




There were a million bridges! Ah! Look how cold it looks! Thanks, but I'll enjoy my 75 degree weather. Even though we had a tornado watch all day. They even cancelled school. It rained a lot. I guess there are trade offs?


And there you go! A tiny update while I wait for my rolly polly dinner rolls to rise. They are so cute and full of Thanksgiving spirit.


I'm making turkey dinner all by myself again this year! I did such a nice job last year that I'm not worried. Besides, its just Mark and I. Its kind of funny, but we've invited all sorts of folks to join us. Everyone else gets to go home to see their mommies and daddies. Lucky for me, I did that beforehand. So it will be a cute turkey-birthday extravaganza with us two. I'm excited! I'll be 24 on the 24th! And then we set up Christmas on friday! Yay!!!
