Our Life

I want to use this blog as a way to document our life. There are quite a few things I want to post from the summer, such as pictures from our backpacking trip, pictures from our Yellowstone trip, and just some of the cool pictures I took this summer while I was taking my photography class.

However, I've decided to approach the blog the same way I approach scrapbooking. I'm going to do the present first. I will try to keep up on what is going on right now and then as I have time I will post some things from this summer.

I haven't taken any exciting pictures this last week to post. That has alot to do with what we've done the last week. We've pretty much just done our routine stuff; go to cheerleading, gymnastics, church, run errands, keep up with the house, etc. Plus, I had one all-consuming project. I volunteered to help enter recipes for our elementary school cookbook. We hadn't had hardly any recipes submitted, so we hadn't started entering them at the online website. We were deciding whether to do the cookbook or not and then it was decided that we would have a class contest. The class which submitted the most recipes would receive a Krispy Kreme donut party. We ended up having over 800 recipes in the cookbook and we had less then a week to enter the recipes. I entered in over half of the recipes myself and the majority of the recipes I did were the ones that had to actually be typed in. It was a HUGE project and it was a HUGE relief once it was finally submitted.

This week I've been playing catch up and trying to recover from being so consumed with the cookbook last week.
