I didn't have to include so many picture on each blog post, maybe I would have enough time to spend in photoshop and turn a drab picture like

{From our outing up AF canyon last week}
I'm not happy with my pictures lately and feel that they're boring and blah coming straight out of the camera. I know I should spend more time working on them but it takes so long to post as it is.I'm also frustrated and my Canon is feeling a bit neglected. Maybe because it's been winter and we've been stuck inside for months and I haven't really had the chance to take my baby on many one on one outings. I need to step it up and finish my photography classes but where and when will I find the time?! Sometimes I feel like there are so many things I want to do that I can't focus properly on any one of them. That's probably the slight ADD in me talking though.
See what spring resolutions are rumbling around in my brain?
*Finish photography and photoshop classes
*Finish off my punch card at Center Stage (dancing!)
*Spring clean my office and get my misc craft projects in order
(genealogy stuff, make cards, finish travel scrapbook and our first year together)
*Take at least 1 paragliding lesson with Ty each month (just scheduled our 2nd one for May-we're so stoked. :)
*Work out no matter how miserable I feel (off to a good start-I used the eliptical for 40 minutes while watching Dark Knight after work today! Holy cow, it's a miracle.
*Turn our first blog year into a book--much more work than I thought it was going to be but it will be so worth it when I'm done. Check out blurb.com to make your own. *Remember not to use so many exclamation points in my writing. I annoy myself sometimes but I feel like I need to get my excitement across somehow. :)
*Learn how to sew. I'm not sure why, but I always dreaded sewing anything and only did it when I had to, like my pointe shoes. My mom tried to teach me on numerous occasions when I was younger but I don't think I was patient enough. Now that I'm almost 30 maybe I can give it another go? I envy all you girls who are crafty and can make your own pillows, drapes, and baby bedding. Love it all.
I'd better get started...
I was finally able to go to the festival @ Thanksgiving Point but this was the best I could get. By the time I got the tulips they were so sad looking, weather beaten and droopy. Utah is known for going from winter straight into summer, and this year it hasn't been much different. So many storms and very few sunny days this spring, so just about every day I tried to make my way over, it was either too cold, dark, rainy or snowy. Not the best week for a celebration of flowers! But I was determined to go and I donned my ski jacket and Tyler and I went over after work. We got so lucky though--if you look closely at the last pic you can see a momma owl keeping her babies warm below the big waterfall. She was beautiful!
