Should be doing homework.....

.....but I am experiencing writer's block.... ok, not really.

So we have to write a 25 page paper, and it counts as our final paper for two classes. Which is nice, and it encourages us to integrate the material. However, the paper is based on our life and analyzing our lives according to two developmental theories and two counseling theories.

I jokingly told my mother yesterday that "Sometimes I think all this self-reflection and analysis just might be causing additional problems" She told me to fix myself before I come home for Christmas :)

Mountain Tasks

Jenica and I made a list of all the things we wanted to do in Denver... And we checked several more off this weekend....

I went to Boulder with some friends, and we went to see a waterfall just outside of town. Boulder is a beautiful town, and it feels like you are right in the mountains....

Saturday, some friends and I went to a Rugby game. Sarah knew one of the guys playing on the Dallas team, so we went to watch them play. It was really intense, and all the players were so beat up after the game! I was afraid they were going to keel over. One of the rugby guys works for Frito Lay and helped design their new biodegradeable bag... I asked if they could make a quieter one, and he said they've been working on it for a year!

Today, Jenica and I went to the zoo because it was free today! Then we also went to the REI flagship (I think that means it was the first one, but I'm not really sure), and we also went to get Vietnamese food since I'd never had it! It was really good, and Jenica ate intestines, while I watched :)

One Word: Artist

Weekend project....

My supervisor from my internship gave me these canvasses (they are pretty large), and they were painted with blue and green stripes. So Sam and I spent most of Saturday painting.... first a layer of Gesso (canvas primer or something really cool like that) and then painted this picture...

Important note: Sam was pretty worried about the outcome of the tree. So we looked up youtube videos of "how to paint a tree" except, I think those only further intimidated him. Luckily, I knew what I was doing (more like my brother did) and the tree turned out pretty well....

I think we might write a verse from Lamentations on it....

Two pictures

This is my view every day... The mountains in the far back have snow on them already...

When we were in Topeka... we spotted this gem. 

Cause most people transport their goats in a truck pulled behind a U-Haul...

Photo Session

Check out Ryan Edick Photography....

Sam and Ryan came out to Colorado a couple weeks ago, and we took our engagement photos.... We went downtown by the capitol building, over to the art museum, and then out to Red Rocks...

(you can click on them to make them bigger)

Typically, Sam and I tend to take rather awkward photos together... but we managed to pull off some rather good ones...! Well, probably more like Ryan's expertise captured the best ones.... that sounds more accurate... 

Anyway, here are a couple for now, until we post others later....
