my little bean

 while away,  I met the newest addition to my family! 

here she is, in all of her glory... my little beyla bean 

a serious dose of relaxation was in order

 so we headed to southern utah to find that.

he climbed.  i watched, photoed and soaked in the sunshine.  i did a little climbing too...those photos are to come. 

 

i had never been to zion national park before, so my sweets decided to take me there.  boy is it a site to see!  especially with sparkly white snow on those beautiful red mountains. 

 

silly hanyak.

 and by the way, we found it...that relaxation i was talking about.  hurray for us!

ho ho ho

i was going to mail this out, but as expected.... have not had time to do so. 
merry chrissmash sweet friends and family.  i ❤ you!

the end is in sight

good.god.all.mighty.  this semester has just about flat lined me.  seriously.  i know, my load is miniscule compared to some.  I honestly don't know how people do it!   either way,. i am more than halfway done with finals and i couldn't feel more free.   i think a celebration might be on the horizon....

serenity.

so looserly

i'm tired and already ready for next week to be over. 

at least i've got my wingman to help me through it....

it's about that time

Harry, I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.

oldies but goodies

While clearing out my photobooth this evening, I discovered some gems from last thanksgiving.  these are the best kind of finds...the type that always make me smile when i need it most.  :-)  i sure do miss our sweet aaron!   it's nice to have so many great photos to look at while he is away. :)   

enjoy the loads of silly....

holiday spirit, anyone?

one of my favorite things to do when i go home for the holidays, is check out the elaborate light shows  in the meridian/boise area.   people do it UP and i think it's awesome.  i found myself thinking of this today and decided to browse youtube to get my yearly fill...while poking around,  i happened upon this.  it satisfied quite well. 

forever your fan

it fits

this is one of my favorite lines of all times.  don't you just love peter pan?
