Side Project

I forgot to mention something yesterday. I have been up to a little side project. As you all know that I love taking pictures, but then again who doesn't!?!

Here is a little portfolio that I compiled over the past few weeks. They are kind of new age and retro.

Well, there you have it! My first set! What do you think?

Hope life is beautiful wherever you are!

Back When..

... I was a kid I always would carve pumpkins, but I haven't done that in years! So I took Claudia (Shayna's sister) and her friend to the "Pumpkin Patch" a.k.a the shotty tent down the street and the three of us picked out our perfect pumpkins!

Lana, Claud, and me rockin' my high school student council tee! 

I decided to make a pumpkin that reflected the game the Wildcats played against USC! We Won! 

Claudia and her friend made Hello Kitty pumpkins and we had a really fun time! After I headed over to Zach's house...him and his neighbors were up to the same thing! 

Zach's "Wicked" pumpkin!

We ended the night with shoe shopping for work...these two are characters. However, they did find the perfect, slip resistant shoes...it just took a little dancing to figure it out!

Monday was pretty much like every other Monday, a heavy dose of Economics and late night co-ed softball. This is Daniel he knighted me homerun queen. 

Hope you have a fun and safe Halloween, and that life is beautiful wherever you are!

Diane Johnson Cancer Awareness Day.

To Set the mood push play for "No Envy. No Fear" by Joshua Radin

DJ-CAD is today!

October 22 holds a special day in my family. It is the day of my twin brother and sister's birth/death as well as my aunt Diane's passing. Michael and Samantha would have been 21 this year, and Diane 50.

 On this very day my Aunt lost her battle with cancer. She continues to be an inspiration for me, and today I wear pink to honor her.  We will continue to encourage young women to get the Gardasil Vaccine and/or get checked for Cervical Cancer.

Hope life is beautiful wherever you are.

Blogging!

Well hello again blogland! I thought that I would give a quick update before I take my LAST midterm of the semester!

As you are all aware I am in love with blogging, and I love reading other blogs! Blogs are so special and personal, and I believe that when people want to share things on a blog they are letting you in and that is so admirable! Because if one thing blogging has taught me is that managing a blog is time consuming, but also very fun!

So instead of talking about me this week,  I am going to share some of my favorite blogs out there on the web!

_____________________________________________________________________
Growing up one of my best friends that went to my elementary school and lived down the street from me has a fantastic blog. He has very busy life, and when you read his blog you will understand why! He has a close relationship with the Lord and I admire his courage and strength as he continues his ministry and teachings in the works of Jesus Christ!

Go head and check out Kory's blog:

Keep up the good work Kory! I enjoy reading your blogs when you can update!
You are in my prayers, each and every night!

One of my sister's friends Tara also has been up to some good work lately!
She is very knowledgeable about beer and has some great beer advice for
all you beer enthusiasts out there!

Tara, I support you and your drinking!!!

In high school I was involved in Student Council and we heard from a motivational speaker. He was a young energetic guy and I believe that his only flaw was that he graduated from Arizona State, but we can all forgive him for that! He has great blogs that make you think about life and the hidden messages you receive everyday!

Check out Patrick Maurer's blog here!

Thanks for sharing Patrick! I appreciate your blog very much!


I encourage everyone to find and good blog and stick with it! Read it often and see how others live, what they are offering to the world. There are tons of people in this world and they are up to some pretty amazing things!


Hope life is beautiful wherever you are!

Stu(dying)!

Let's just put it this way. My day starts at 7:30 and usually my head hits the pillow around midnight.
But don't feel bad for me because my midterms are almost over!

So sometimes my studying feels like I'm dying.

An appropriate definition:

Also I have been managing to have some fun along the way!


From helping Zach "fix" his truck!

To Mid-Afternoon Clown car rides!






























To Late Night Cheba Hut Runs!

From Christmas Shopping!?---You can thank K-Mart for this!

\

And so many other activities!

Studying +  Doing Random Stuff = perfect balance. 

Hope life is beautiful wherever you are!

Good luck on Mid-terms to all my college friends out there! 

Late Night Debate Night!

Romney-01 Obama-00---According to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and of course....FOX!

Thank God!! Because Romney needed it!

Read this E-Mail that Senator Marco Rubio(R-FL) sent to me:
_____________________________________________________________________

Shannen, After watching tonight's debate, the choice this November could not be clearer.  A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for four more years of economic stagnation and weak foreign policy; as well as higher taxes, debt, and healthcare costs. A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for real reforms that will bring a real recovery, including 12 million new jobs, tax relief for the middle class, better healthcare at lower costs, a balanced budget, and leadership for an American century.  That's the kind of bold agenda Americans expect and deserve - and that's exactly what Mitt Romney outlined tonight. Thanks, Marco Rubio U.S. Senator, Florida ___________________________________________________________________________

However, the best part of the Debate was spending it with my grandmother! She enjoys politics as much as I do and we not only found last night encouraging for our party, but we enjoyed delicious Pasta  w/ broccoli.

Hope life is beautiful wherever you are!
