I love these girls (plus slyv: not pictured).

I schoochied up north and got to hang with them a bit.

I made some din din for them.

Jessie was all over me the whole time (nothing new).

Nat practiced all of her esthetician school stuff on us.

Bridgee and I discussed how lucky we are to have one another.

I cried a bit with Nat.

I call it....GOOD TIMES WITH GIRL TIME.

I also fell in love with this brown "beach" house in UTAH. ha.

Im going own it one day.

Only mine will on the beach and have way cooler landscape.

amen.

Today I celebrated being an American.

I treated myself to a glass of milk and oreo's.

You know, sometimes I feel embarrassed being an Ameri.

I feel like, everyone views us as... over indulge, overeat, over spend, and show little gratitude for what we have.

But today I gotta thinking.

Jenn how could you be ashamed?

I knew that MY heart was thankful for what I have.

I felt blessed being able to sit on my front porch... To have a porch.

I was thankful for the breeze that cooled my skin and the tree that swayed.

While enjoying my cookies, I watched a movie on Siddhartha.

So there you have it.

I celebrated being an American while learning about India's culture.

And this is why.... America Rocks

Frustrated..... AKA the place I wanted to live with my trailer.

Has an age limit on trailers.

They have to be 15 years or newer.

The main problem im having is finding places to keep my trailer.

That arent 600 bucks a month, or in the middle of nowhere.

I need place close to the U and trailer non-discriminative.

Im sending good vibrations to all the land of SLC find me.

In the meantime Im working on a plan.

And.... Alot of Visual Inspiration to keep me motivated

I went to the DI today.

This old couple were bickering so much over a table that cost ten dollars!

I told myself I never want to be them.

I want to tell my lover, babe you can have the table, plus the matching chair if you would like.

Nor do i want to be 50 getting furniture from the DI

Amen, thee end.

Summer Mornings

In the morning after im done at the gym I sit on my front porch...

with precisely brewed coffee

my path tracker

yoga mat

& a book.

Sometimes I water the grass if it wants me too.

I soak in the rise of the sun and let the world slowly wake up before me.

I like Summer Mornings.

Happenings In The Coffee Shop...

I brewed my own coffee.

A couple walked in. The man was all over her. Touching her hair, setting his hand right above her back pocket, putting his arm around her shoulder. He acted giddy. He reminded me of a teenage boy. She seemed non responsive. He may need some help with her love language.

Plumber butt man was here. Was IT showing? Yes.

Band: The Colorful Quiet, Song: survival. I enjoy the lyrics.

Photography

This morning I met up with Mike for a photography lesson. He brought two 5d eos cannon dslr cameras with 70-300 mm lens (very pricey). I learned so much on how to control the camera shutter speeds, fstops, af's, filters. Im going to meet up with him either tomorrow during sunrise or sunset for more practice

A few Mike has taken

Photos i took this morning

Im not in love with any of these.

But i feel proud knowing i controlled depth of field,

how much light entered the lens, focus points,

and correct shade of filter.

I wish i had more interesting subjects (wink wink)

I am not really into landscape.

But for learning mechanical functions it will have to do.

I feel privileged to be able to find someone so willingly to teach me.
