Not your typical roommate photo shoot


I lied. This is definitely one of your typical roommate photo shoots, but that doesn't mean that we didn't have some atypical fun! Seriously, these girls are amazing and so fun to work with. And now, without further adieu, I’d like to introduce you to Heather and Jules.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I’ve decided to call my little photography hobby/hopefully-future-side-business “ontheloose photography.” Kinda like my blog URL. Spread the word!

Also, I've had a birthday, shout hooray! Twenty years old today, baby! How does it feel? Like I'm so much older and wiser... NOT!!!

Insert awesome, creative title


My creative juices are running a little dry at the moment. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m trying to blog while watching Transformers 3. I can’t remember a time when I’ve felt dumber. I can actually feel my brain cells dying it’s so bad. I think the only redeeming part is Josh Duhamel. What a babe. Oh, and Mr. Dempsey. Although, I really can’t understand what he’s doing in this movie. Come on McDreamy, you’re better than that.

Ok, focus. I think it’s been three weeks since my last update. What in the world have I been doing? I find that I measure time by the weekends, so if I want to remember when I did something, I think, “how many weekends ago was that?” So three weekends ago was conference. That means two weekends ago I had a little reunion with my Spain roomie, Erin! We went and got facials and manis. So fun. I’ll def be doing that again.

Ok, indulge me for just a second while I go off on a tangent. I say things like “def” and “totes” in my head ALLLLL the time, not gonna lie. That’s why it sometimes ends up in my writing. But you will never find me saying those things out loud. How in the world did these abbreviations make it into our everyday language? I mean, is it really that hard to say the entire word?

Anyway, back to my oh-so-exciting life. Last weekend actually was pretty exciting. Saturday morning was the Grant Thornton 5k, which was my first official race, and my entire accounting group did it! Yeah, we’re that cool. I finished in 31:00 even. Don’t laugh, I know I’m slow. Then that night, Ernst & Young brought in Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband for a free concert. Umm, they’re kind of great. I was super impressed. It was definitely the funnest concert I’ve ever been to (although, since the only other real concert I’ve been to is Bruce Hornsby, that’s not saying much – sorry Mom!!). We even got free CDs! Uncle Ken and Aunt Sneena, you’ll have to take a listen. I think you guys would like them.

Come Sunday, I had some roommate bonding time. We went out for a little photo shoot at Provo’s very own castle, which is really just a sweet amphitheater up at the State Hospital. I’ll be posting the fruits of our labors soon. My roommates are so beautiful! We had a nice dinner of homemade ravioli after that. And then braided each other’s hair and had a pillow fight in our underwear. Just kidding. We didn’t bond that much!

Well, stay tuned for the photo shoot and prepare yourselves to be wowed by these gorgeous girls!
