.:.Prove You Exist.:.

My first from scratch craft project. I am so proud of myself!

Crafter's Corner in AF...you can buy whatever bare wood, metal, etc.

Then for $5 you can use their craft room that is

full of scrapbook paper, paints, glitter, ribbons....

anything in there to create your own ideas!

We do a monthly ACS craft day there,

super fun!

(Front)

I love letting my creativity go...

I love making these decorated tin boxes.

It's so much fun & I cam spend hours

creating them.

They're also great gifts.

I made one for my cousin Katie

as a wedding gift,

and others for birthdays.

I also do journals, notebooks...

 even did a score book for my grandparents

Christmas present since we are

always playing cards & what not.

It's a great personalized present!

This is one I made for

Will & I...(duh).

(Inside)

I tend to make a lot

for myself too (hehe).

This is my journal entry

celebrating our 1 year anniversary.

As you can see I decorate pretty much everything.

I love creating my own things.

Its a great way to de-stress...

Every Love Story is Beautiful...But Ours is My Favorite...

Despite the ups and downs,

through thick & thin...

We made it...

Happy 1 Year Babe...

Get ME out of HERE!

We're OFF to

SAN DIEGO!!

Peace Out!

the bad news is that Time Flies...but the GOOD news is you're now the Pilot.

First off can I just say that I wish

SUMMER

WOULD COME ALREADY!!

Why does Utah have to have such tempramental

weather. In 4 days alone we had

Rainy

then

Sunny

then

Snowy

then

Windy

GAH!!

I just want the sun & some shine.

PLEASE!

As for us Myers we're starting our final month at our apartment.

I'm not looking forward to packing

as you all know my disgust for it,

but I am looking forward to cleaning the place.

Is that weird?

One of my favorite things to buy is new cleaning products.

Ok...that does make me weird.

We will be moving in with Will's dad for a few months

while we are in the process of finding/buying a house.

My sister-in-law has also moved back into the house since

she does with school till fall.

Lets just say this shall be quite an interesting experience.

SAN DIEGO is in 26 days!!

Pretty stoked for that. In all the years the Shepherd families have been going there

(over a 40 year time span at least!)

its been an adventure with where we stay.

In the very beginning when

Shara, Johnny, Katie, and I went we were the only grandkids

so everyone smooshed into condo # 101

with my grandparents.

Their condo had a master room/bath & then one other bedroom that

has a full size bed & then bunkbeds.

Kitchen, dining room & living room as well,

with the couch being a pull out bed too.

Not a ton of room, but it worked.

As the years have gone by

with more and more children born

families began having to rent more then one condo

with 2 families in each.

I've always slept in 101 with my grandparents

on their bedroom floor, Katie usually sleeping next to me.

This year is a first for us.

Shara is married + 2 kids.

Katie is married.

I am married.

There is NO room for us to try & fit into any other condos

with our families....since there are tons of kids in those as well.

The 3 of us are having/forced to rent our own condo!!

The $$ we have to spend blows

but it will be nice actually having our own place to ourselves

and not having to fight for a place to sleep.

I guess it means we really have grown up.

Being an adult is over-rated sometimes.

But #508 is quite nice

and I look forward to staying in it!

The bathroom & bedroom we'll be sharing

with Katie & Mikey.

I am just ready for some

FUN IN THE SUN!!!

That's kinda all for now.

OH but if you are a crafter in Utah County

check this place out!!

Yesterday was the grand opening

& I am now IN LOVE

with this store.

First camping trip on 2010

Will has been itching to go camping for at least a month now

and last weekend we finally went out west

with his dad.

That night was pretty cold

but the 3 of us squeezed into our little tent

and with the help of extra blankets,

slept great!

Will and his dad are quite seasoned campers,

I however, am not.

Except for girls camp

I never really camped anywhere without at LEAST

a port-a-potty.

Which are disgusting

but work.

The Myers are not those kind of campers.

They go into the middle of NOWHERE

to set up camp.

To say the least it is something I am still getting use to,

but don't want to.

But this trip was very fun and relaxing.

Will had custom ordered a new gun

15 months ago and just recently

was able to pick it up.

The bottom one is his new one.

Looks like a plastic toy gun.

Anyways my main goal of the trip was to

actually HIT a clay pigeon with the shoot gun.

I got

1 out of 3

and called it a day.

Those 3 shoots alone gave me a nice bruise

and made my arms sore the next day.

I spent the rest of the day reading, enjoying the sun

while the guys did their thing.

Will is quite amazing at shooting.

He always hits the clay pigeons,

even when we throw out 2 or 3 at a time.

But then again he has grown up shooting

and always was award excellent at the shooting range

when he was in the Marine Corps.

Out west. WAY out west.

I also got to wear my cowboy hat.

I know this trip will be one of many

this year.

Here are some pics off Will's iPhone

that I found....

From last fall when Will

sliced his hand at work.

From our Montana trip

in November.

My first time in a ground blind.

(Camoflage tent thing for hunting)

Roses Will brought home for me

a few weeks ago

for no reason.

And lastly some fun doodling

I did while bored at AF court.

(I wasn't there for me, but as a court attendent for my job).
