Wow I have not been on here in a long time. Been thinking about how I need to get back on, so here I am finally. Procrastinating getting ready to go back to school. Thursday is my 1st official day, then kids on tues. I need to go get my rooms ready before that though... maybe tomorrow instead of today. I was going to workout at 6 am, but was very tired from diving up to Copper Mountian and back yesterday for the Warrior Dash. So, I stayed in bed until about 8... now I'll go workout at 11 instead and see what happens after that. Going along with my trying not to plan too much lifestyle, grin... The Warrior Dash is super fun. Getting muddy and doing obstacles with your friends is good enough. The thing that really makes me happy is I can count on my body to drive up to 9000 ft and do all that with relative ease. I can count on my body now and I finally love it because of that. So very cool,Yay :)

If you guys haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet you should watch it. It's one of my new fav movies.  I painted Danielle's dresser last night. It's my fist paint job of funrnature and it was pretty fun. I have excess paint now so I'm thinking of actually painting a wall too. Being fairly inspired I am also thinking about painting our coffee table. 
Sill haven't been able to ride my horse. That's been bumming me out. I hope her leg is better soon. 
And I'm still on my headache diet. Not a drop of booze or coffee in two weeks. It's not sooo bad. No migraines yet either. 
Other then that I'm goping to see Wayne Hancock tonight. Sould be a good show. 

ah, so much to say, and so little time. I have been extra busy. Mostly with school. I think that next semester I am only taking 1 studio and maybe 1 credit of ceramics. I just feel overwhelmed a bit right now. But, everything is going good. My observations in the middle school are funny. I should be done in several weeks, so hopefull i will have more time at the end of the semester. Last weekend wasn't very productive because I decided I was going to have fun for my b-day and not do homework. It turned out to be a good time and was worth it. We went up to the Englands and hung out with them and will's parents on sunday. It was really nice and when we were on our way home I was telling Will how happy I am to be a part of his life. It's funny, cuz after awhile I think sometimes you forget to vocalize that stuff. I think it ment a lot to him beacuse he told me that made him really happy. Knowing him it's rare when he actually expresses an emotion like that. I guess I'm just thinking that I'm really happy with him, and continue to be so after being together for awhile. It's nice, and I wouldn't give it up. I think we are getting internet back at the house on wed. That will make my life a lot more conveniant. It's been rainy the past two days and I'm really enjoying fall. I love getting to have a fire. Last night I made cookies and purchased caco, but drank beer at the house instead. It's funny what my saturday nights have turned into, more of a time to be at home, since i'm gone so much during the week. I guess we did go out to Thai food with christi, so that makes it a little bit better. And, now that i'm 25 i guess i can settle down (a little).

My b-day is still a few weeks away but I have prepared for it by taking off work. I don't know excatly what I'm gonna do but it won't involve work. It might just involve sitting around being lazy and eating cake, or something. But I have decided that I'm going to get another tattoo. It's been awhile and 25 seems like it should be noted in some special way.
Had a good painting crit this week, I painted a really nice shell in my still life. All my other classes are going well too. I'm making my first print on monday, I hope it turn out alright. Printmaking is awesome, I think I'm goning to like it more and more. Will and I got a fish tank. It's a ten gallon. Now all we have to do is get a couple parts and we can fill it up, and put fishies in it!

God I feel like I've been in school forever. When I finally graduate (spring of 2009!) it will have taken me like 8 years. Technically I did take a year off, but please. I should have a PHD by then. Instead I'll just have a loaded bachelors. A well, i like school anyway. I'm excited to start printmaking and painting, and make more pottery. With 3 education classes on top of that I hope I can keep up and still do well. I usually find a way. I'm glad a choose a school with lots of oppertunities to learn different techniques. By the time I'm done I should know a little about most art forms at least.
It's still been hot here but you can start to feel fall in the air, especially at night. I love it. Willie hates it. We are going camping tonight. It will probably be the last time this year. It should be fun though. We have a 12 pack of Negra Modelo and some other special things to eat. It should be a fun trip.
I had a lesson yesterday and Rane was awesome. She at one point was trying to escape through her shoulder and I actually stopped her and fixed it. I was so happy I was hootin'. That was the first time I've really been able to gain control when she sets against me. Before and after that she felt great. She was up and moving through her back. We even jumped over little cross rail and she did good. I never imaged a year ago that I could get her to jump anything. It was a really fun ride. Probably the best ride I've had on her. I hope that I can keep it up through the winter and take her to some shows next year.

Old faithful blowing his load

I got an MRI done today. More headache stuff again. Hopefully this time I will find some reasons. I new neurologists thinks is we get rid of my tensions headaches it should get rid of migraines. He wanted to get an MRI done to make sure there is nothing going on in my brain. He didn't expect to find anything. I also am going to a guy that does this weird muscle training and stuff that I think can help me. He fixes the muscle to hold the bones in their correct form. He is kinda crazy and I felt like I was hit by a truck when I was done. Ok, I'm gonna try pics again, tell me if you can see them this time.

I just can't help myself now. Here's some more cool stuff.
The "Grand Canyon" of Yellowstone

300 ft lower falls

Hot springs by the lake

Moose!

I think I got it now. Yellowstone is awesome. We saw so much wild life and amazing geological features. The buffalo literally came in camp. Good times.

Lets see if I figured this out.
