oh brother

I miss this guy.

lots.

Tonight for Family Home Evening we tilled the garden with some lovely's in our ward.

 Shoveling is hard stuff

My family is awesome! It's so good and so fun to be home.

Wanna know what it's like to share a bathroom with a brother?

Fun stuff!

Can't wait to share one with a husband.

yayyyyy

This is what my life has been lately:

I <3 skype

off!

INTRODUCING..... the new smile!

He looks SO much better, now we just have to whiten them :)

In celebration we went to the discovery park and the timpanogos temple!

K says he likes to smile now! yay for braces!

Orange shirts

I have to remind myself each day why I like my job.

Looking back I know I will have loved this experience, but sometimes I get pushed around and feel like crap. My work is not always used and when I do something, it is not appreciated and I have to go do it again.

buuuut....

The end of the semester is slowly creeping up on us and after that I will not have my wonderful campus photog job anymore. 

When I calm myself down after all the pictures I slowly come to realize how extra-ordinary these individuals are. They sacrifice so much of their time to serve as counsel members on teams. They are so fun and smart and all-around amazing people. I have so much respect for all of them and I am so honored to get to take their pictures.

I remember the first few months of my job and how lost I felt. I didn't know anyone and I didn't know what the purpose of their service was. Now I understand all the effort and excitement they put into their positions because they truly love it and want to help others.

I had a lot of fun photographing in a studio today! The guy in-charge of the studio helped me out with camera/flash stuff and it was such a blast. He told my boss that I know what I am doing (bossing around models and talking camera talk with him). That made me feel good and I think it was good for my boss to hear. :)

Tomorrow is this HUGE photo shoot of every. single. person. from. the. department. at 2pm in the icenter! 

Pray for me!

Hope your day was fab-

Here are some pics from our little excursion: 

photo of the day: http://kentandanna.tumblr.com/ 

 The roads were great on the way there! ...coming home was another story.

Chick-fil-a HAD FLOWERS ON THE TABLES! It was our 2ndish time eating at a chick-fil-a and we were IMPRESSED. The people were so nice, food was good and ambiance was fun.

 (photo from on the way home at 10pm)

Driving home we couldn't even see the road in front of us!! Occasionally we went to the side and just hoped and prayed we would make it okay. And we did :) Kman is such a good little driver.

After the day was over and the car/our bodies were safe and sound, we had to walk back to my house. I borrowed Kent's shoes because my little moccasins cannot handle the snow.

Earlier in the day I made the paper stick to the wall with magic (paper is not being held up with pen). This is Kent in IF trying on a 12 dollar sweater that he purchased!! He looks so gooood.

The purpose of going to the mall in IF was to find engagement picture clothes.

When we got back to my house, we had a little fashion show to decide what to wear for the engagements. 

Here are some pictures from that:

We liked it... but I looked too dressy and he looked too casual

So I conformed:)

New sweater!

These are 2 different blue shirts I am wearing...but I think we decided to go with the orange one.     

Maybe I'll wear a coat?

Fun times ahead :) We are SO CRAZY EXCITED for these pictures because then we will be thiiiiiis much closer to our wedding date! Happy Friday!xox anna
