Some people wanted me to post more pictures... so here are some:

Erin and Ashli at being weird while on our trip to St. Anthony Sand Dunes.

Nick and Ashli while on a trip... honestly I don't remember where we were... but I think it was the sand dunes

Mysterious God

Even though at times it seems like our prayers go unanswered - they are not. God is mysterious in the way that He directs our lives. Often it is us who is causing the hangup. We need to evaluate our lives and our desires. God is waiting or us to become more like Him. I have had a revelation today that I have more strength, power and understanding than I realized. Life is greater than I thought possible.

Uninspired

I feel like blogging to day but I also feel no inspiration. My jewelry making "business" has been doing better than I thought which is really good. However, that is just a side job to keep my hands busy while I have nothing else to do. I have been job searching which is not my favorite thing to do. I want a job that I will like myself for and feel like I am helping people better their lives. Or doing something that they cannot really do for themselves.

Free Liquor!?

So as a graphic designer working on a team, we decided to have a little fun with a client. So I designed the ad and sent him an e-mail with a proof. Then about ten minutes later I sent the real ad. But the story gets better... Without even looking at the email, he proceeded to forward the email to his business partners... Lets just say he got a few phone calls... Just look at the ad and you can see why! We had a good laugh!

Economy

For those of you who feel unaffected by the struggling economy. Congrats! As luck would have it it affected me in a way I didn't really think would happen... layoff! Wow! What a word. And when you say the word "layoff" you get the look. The look of pity and then they say something like "Wow! Are you serious?"
And everyone knows how much fun job hunting is. Especially in Cache Valley! Need to find a job that pays more than minimum wage... Good luck!
Are these the last days that every one talks about? I would like to think so. And to think that this is all going to get worse.

Old Farm

A picture I took of antique farm equipment. I love old, antique things. I also love this picture!

Inspiring Grave

While trying to solve a mystery, I traveled to the cemetery in search for a specific name. Upon finding this headstone I read what was written there...
"Weep not for me my kindred dear, I am not dead but sleeping here, My end you know, my grave you see, Prepare yourselves to come to me."
Pondering on that phrase I had inspiration for a poem of my own...

Each name I find
deserves a face,
family, friends and a place;
While some remain a mystery,
others are revealed to me;
These people and I have become one;
Even with so much unknown;
While they lie sleeping
in their graves,
I search for the path
that gives me a name.
