'Nuff said

Sunsets in Bigfork

I know we've all experianced them...seen hundreds of them. They NEVER get old to me. I could see a million and I wouldn't get sick of sitting on the porch and just watching the colors fade till dark! These are a few of my favorites from this summer!

The first day of the best year of my life!

I am officially on the downward slop of my twenties....WOW. Yippee?? So with the help of the wonderful Chanelle and the perental units I had a WONDERFUL day!

It started out with a 7am wake up call carefully orchestrated my ChaMALu herself. My friend Dustin stopped by with cupcakes ballon card and song shortly followed my Cuz Kyle with delicious still hot Brookies Cinnamon rolls! AH! SO GOOD! Shortly after Hair Face and I rolled out to spend the Morning in Glaicer Park! It was a freezing morning but absolutly beautiful!




She "Kicked off her shoes in a fit of joy!"
Didn't you know that Chanelle is a park ranger...in her head. I humored her and listened to her incoherant rambling for a few hours. Ranger Jim had to cut it off at 3 O'clock when he had to give his very educational talk about avoiding park toilets.

Trail of the Cedars. One of my favorite walks on the way to Avalanche Lake!

Playing sardines with innocent park patrons... we didn't get many bites...
For lunch we took a boat ride down the lake and back to Bigfork for a tasty Garden burger!
Thanks Captian Queen Lana!!!

We finished the day with mouth-watering Tinfoil dinners and S'Mores! It was one of the most beautiful days of the year! Thanks FAMILY!!!!!

I tried Rock climbing...once.

I think I'd like to go again.... and I think I'll have the chance. I went home with only one small battle wound and some sore fingers. I LOVED it! I went in Utah with Heather and there were only the 2 of us so I have no actual proof that I climbed that day...except my word.

I went with some friends up here in Montucky but alas...we were rained out. Although it was SO much fun while it lasted. Kristi, Chanelle and I just watched while everyone else showed us up. Good good times.

Can't get enough

My cute friend Emlen invited me to help out with giving away a free car during a concert at UVSC( a concert that I REALLY wanted to go to in the first place!). So not only did I get in free, but we got back stage passes! It was So fun! This top picture is a band called "Luto" and the Bottom is of the BroBecks...you'll hear big things from them. They are AMAZING! Good fun!

How I love my father!

Does this bring back memories??? Remember when dad came home from Cali Sportin this beard? I remember him coming into Ashley and my room to kiss us while we were asleep, and it made me cry cause I didn't know who the hell it was!
Ha ha... I'm sad half of the family missed out on this sweet side of Papa Bruce! Good times!
LOVE YOU DADDY!

Great friends, good music and bright colors!

We spent a fun weekend in Boise painting with my friend Kelly! She has a cute house, and a taste for beautiful, bold colors! WE painted the ceiling "starry night" (super dark brown) a few of the walls Chai Latte(light yellowish...although it seems to have a mind of its own and picks up color from every other wall...so almost every wall we used it on looks a different color...sweet!) Put extra coats on the red walls and even decided to do a brown boarder around the top of the walls to make the ceiling disappear! It turned out awesome and I'm pretty sure I'll try some crazy fun colors too someday!

DJ and Kelly gettin their Paint on!
After 1 1/2 days of painting and he still feels good enough to pose for the camera! you can see a bit of the boarder we did at the top of the yellow wall!

Oh the joys of my family.....

SO.... I just wanted to update everyone on how Chanelle is doing,.... the doctors say she is a scientific mystery.... her before and afters are amazing... in case you didn't know the first picture is her after. Those plastic surgeons got mad skillz. Love you bella!

Catching up-(Almost a year in pictures)

Okay, I know this is a little late and I don't want to make it too long.... I'm not too great at staying in touch with the people that mean the most to me.... and when contact is actually made, I'm always getting asked, "so, what have you been doing with yourself for the last year?". Well here it is. Just a few highlights from the past year. Hope they sum it up more than my normal answer,"oh...not a lot, just work an stuff??".

I fell in love with a gay pirate.... but turns out he got sick of Parrot poop in the kitchen, so he took a chance on me.

WE spent 4th of July in Bigfork..because, honestly where else?? AWESOME dinner made by Lana!

  Sunset boat ride on Flathead!
  

WE took a trip up to Glacier --- it could've been one of the clearest days of the year!! Chanelle was with us too! It was SO fun!

In September I introduced DJ, to a few other of the Loves in my life! We ( meaning DJ) drove all night to Seattle to spend a day before we headed over to the Gorge! We went to Pike St market, EMP, had awsome sushi, and watched the sunset at Golden Gardens- a beautiful beach that Dave and Lindsay turned me on to when I lived there.... I believe that is actually the same beach where Dave popped the question!

Amy and I at Pikes market!

DMB at the gorge!!!



This Pic is actually a little out of order-Zion Park Utah!
Sunset@ Golden Gardens!
THE GORGE!!! It is SO beautiful! My favorite venue- I don't know what could top this view!!!
WE sat in line for HOURS everyday so we could get the best seats on the grass!
It was such a fun trip that left me missing Seattle more than I could imagine! All 3 of us are dreaming of the gorge next year, and trying to figure out how to make it our permanent home!

Chanelle- One of the few people that can make me lose all control of my bladder! This is a tradition with us.... everytime we are together we end up taking some AMAZING pictures of each other... I mean, we will spend HOURS doing this! Here are a few little jems from her last visit!

DeeJay gave me tickets to 2 amazing concerts for my birthday! They were both so bad!(thats a good thing) We got up really close at the Damien Rice show, and I almost fought 2 really rude guys in the parking lot after the Regina Spektor show...very eventful!

Dee Jay also took me to St. George for my birthday cause I was pretty homesick for the family down there! Especially Bella and the Bad lil baby! We spent sunday in Zion National Park! It was a beautiful drive! WE also took some pretty trails and almost hiked the Narrows in our church shoes!!
