Whisked Away

 

Channeling a little Bob Ross. We've had such happy little clouds lately.

Lovely

There is nothing better for the soul than an afternoon spent in a field of wildflowers. I wish something so beautiful could last forever.



A Wee Bit Scottish

It seems a bit strange to write about something that happened two months ago but this is something that deserves a blog post. Every July, for the past 17 years, my family has attended the Payson Scottish Festival. My mother's side of the family have decendants from Scotland and it has always been a part of my heritage that I love to celebrate. Well, this year was no different from the rest and my family made the hour drive to Payson to partake in Haggis, wear our family tartan, listen to sweet bagpipe music, and watch the barbaric atheltic competitions.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the Scottish festival . . . sitting under the shade of a tree, on cool grass, listening to bagpipes.

By far the best part about attending a Scottish festival is getting home, laying down in bed, and still hearing the bagpipes playing in your ear. The sounds just seems to follow you home.

Current Happenings

Although it seems the blog has been quiet, my life most certainly is not! I apologize for the few and far between blog posts but life has been moving so fast I don't seem to have time to write. My experience at the Scottish Festival still needs it's time in the spotlight as well as the 200 foot slip'n'slide I helped make on the 24th of July. I also need to update you on the photographing adventures as of late as well as post pictures from my 5 year high school reunion coming up this Saturday. And in-between all of the chaos, I managed to sneak in a camping trip.

But for now, I will leave you with a sneak peak of the book that currently fills my down-time. For work, I am reading a book called "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell and every page, paragraph and sentence leaves my in awe. This man is not only brilliant but he is so good at putting into words the thoughts that pass through our minds on a daily basis. If anyone out there is looking for a book to read and wants to learn about the "Story of Success" please look into "Outliers."

Once I am finished with the book, I'll make sure to give it a full review :)
