Juvenile Bald Eagle

This beautiful bird was seen in the Farmington Bay Bird Refuge here in Utah. It was my first time birding, so I naturally learned a lot. This may become a new hobby of mine.

Happy 41st Anniversary, Mom + Dad

Today is my Mom and Dad's 41st wedding anniversary! They are still very much in love ... really, they are. They actually flirt with one another and it's really cute to watch. My parents were high-school sweethearts and she wrote him the entire time my Dad was serving his LDS mission in Japan. When he came home from Japan they were engaged almost immediately, then married in 7 months! Now they have 6 kids and 5 grandkids and I'm sure this bunch will grow and grow!

Thanks Mom and Dad for choosing to have children. We all are so grateful to you and couldn't be more happy to call you ours. Love you always!

Autumn in Salt Lake

People who say they don't want to live in a state with four seasons are insane, in my opinion. Who wouldn't want to see these vibrant colors at every turn of the day? The temperature is crisp and refreshing and the trees are every shade of color imaginable. To me it's pure joy.

Getting Ready

Last month my beautiful sister, Laura, was married and I was lucky to spend the entire morning with her.

Reflecting

Once upon a time I lived in Santa Barbara and I fell in love with a boy. The boy loved to surf, and I loved to watch and photograph him. It wasn't as creepy as it sounds, promise. Anyway, today I am dearly missing my old life, but I am happy that boy is now my husband.
