picture promise.

today i feel lazy.

i'm not a lazy person. so, perhaps it's a state of relaxation.

just yesterday, i told lovebird i am going to enjoy every last second of my school break,

because once school is added to the mix... i feel as though i barely have time to breathe.

back to being lazy.

there is one thing that i am lazy at;

 that would be uploading my pictures to my computer off my "real" camera.

today's total of pictures: 982. 

yikes. that is a lot of sorting, fixing, remembering and organizing.

it's so convenient to have a nice camera on my phone.

it's always with me, it's light weight in my purse, and it's literally fun to 

take snap shots of everyday life.

i forget to grab my camera and put it around my neck.

next to my iPhone- it seems bulky, heavy and far too professional. 

but, and it's a big but....

i do love the pictures my camera takes far better than my phone.

the image is a billion times different, sharper and prettier. 

why am i lazy about it then?

this makes no sense to me.

that is why, this is one of my new year's resolutions.

after all, we did drop some serious cash on this little baby.
so, why have it sit and stare at us?

maybe if i put it on the table by the front door, i'll feel guilty about leaving it behind.

i do get attached to things that really don't have feelings.

it's one of my strange qualities that lovebird finds amusing. 

so, there you have it:

i've admitted to being lazing in the photo department.

i've admitted to being a weirdo.

and i've admitted that i'm promising something i may not live up to. 

please expect pictures on the blog. 

and if you aren't seeing them, i would love a friendly reminder. 

cheers to a new year!

{last pictures taken of us in 2011.}

i am not the biggest fan of new years eve.

you can call me scrooge. i don't mind.

the two best things about the holiday are:

1. wearing all things that glitter and sparkle.

2. eating delicious food.

don't get me wrong...

 the countdown to midnight, the kiss triggered by the strike of a clock,

 the fireworks and the lovely friends and family 

we find celebrating with are oh so great. 

but..... there is something that just doesn't click for me.

i sometimes think ordering in chinese food, snuggling on the couch

while just the two of us countdown and ring in the new year would 

make me fall in love with the holiday.

that being said, we did have a fun time last night.

it was spent with family up in park city and midway.

we ate lots of yummy {and expensive} food.

we laughed until we were blue in the face.

we cheered on the utes in the bowl game.

we raced down to celebrate midnight with dear friends.

and we came home to fall asleep talking about things in 2012.

two.thousand.and.twelve.

it's here already. 

we've quickly said goodbye to 2011.

funny how that happens.

it was a year full of all good things.

{staring school for me. new job for lovebird. house guest for a month. trips home to utah. friends tied the knot. more friends engaged. contract with cwb. holidays. visits from family. our one year anniversary. romantic getaway to monterey. got a piano. moved apartments. straight a's. lovebird's quarter of a century birthday. made new, and now close, friends. lovebird tore his cal and got surgery. crew going through the temple; crew getting his mission call. many day trips to our city: san francisco. new church callings. and the list goes on.}

we fell in love all over again in 2011.

and plan on doing just that in 2012.

365 days: so much to do, see, explore and feel.

we are anxiously awaiting everything that comes our way

whether by choice or by fate. 

happy 2012.

cheers to the new year!
