I'm offering fine art drawings from photographs, fine art photography prints, and even paintings.
Thanks so much again to Mom and Dad for all your support and helping me to do this!

MY RING!!!!!!!

So we've taken forever to put the pics of the ring on here because in my move i lost my battery charger for my camera! so we used bryce's... This was the mold they gave us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. Of course it was! (by the way, if you didn't know, we designed the ring ourselves--told them exactly what we wanted and how we wanted it to look and they made it!)

we love love love it!!! We are so happy with it--i still stick my hand out in front of bryce's face (about two inches from him) and make him look at it .... while he's driving....while we're watching a movie....while he's writing e-mails.....

Wind Caves from Two weeks ago...i almost forgot!

I almost forgot to even put this one on! This was a cool one too--we went on this hike up to what they call the wind caves. It was about 2 1/2 miles or so. It was pretty cool. and very very pretty!


We used bryce's portable mini tripod and the timer to take this one. lol

It was very windy...see my BEAUtiful hair??
Wow....we should go again, ...
I was so scared in this one too!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE HIGHTS apparently. They FREAK me out SO BAD!! i was totally gonna cry by the time he finished taking three pics of me up there.....
We ate lunch up in the caves. and watched two squirrels chase eachther. lol
Isn't that awesome????!!!OF COURSE....he has to strike a pose. :)

It was SO COLD standing right there. They're called the WIND caves for a reason, i found out. Bryce took like an HOUR to take this pic! ;)

I jut kinda changed the coloring just for fun..... :)

Our OWN hike...

We went on another hike this weekend....only it wasn't the one we planned on. The one we found online and drove up to had too much snow, the car wouldn't make it up to the trailhead. So we turned around and bryce found a place to pull over on the way home-still in the canyon, to go hike around and try to get down to the river and just explore. BUT then we saw a certain mountain across the road and decided we should try to get to the top....so we did! We found our own way up...no trail. That's the best. (This pic is NOT photoshopped thank you very much. Bryce wanted me to put that in there..)


Yup, that's what we're climbing (we were already probly 1/4 way up.

This was actually on the way back Down the mountain--so 2/3 up. See the river WAY down there? It's actually a very Large rive and its down near where the car is.



This was the last ridge we had to climb up and over before we reached the top. I was so scared in this pic because there were snake holes Everywhere and spiders under a rock by my feet! ...yuck, i hate spiders. I know God made them but.... *shudder*



Here's a close up of my Honey from that same place..

You can kinda see how steep it was in this pic. Bryce took that from just a few paces ahead of me.

I know it doesn't look like much but this is the Very Very top of the mountain. WE MADE IT!!! It was so amazing up there! You can't really tell but where it looks like the snow ends is the ridge where it goes down pretty steep. Bryce didn't like me standing over there. So yeah, thats another rise behind me. I wish i had a panoramic or something!! we were so excited that we had made it all the way to the top! The first half was uphill but not Horrible. The second half was killer and we kept saying we were crazy and we had to stop about every ten steps cuz it killed our legs so much. But we kept trudging along. and we made it!

Yeah..... seriously.

This is me looking dumb...it's pretty awesome i know. And Yes, i'm wearing a tank.....i had a long sleeved shirt over until half way and decided i would die with it on. and yes JEN, this is the FIRST time i've not worn something with sleeves....i'm such a sinner!! lol

COMING SOON!

As some of you may have noticed, i have an art blog but...it's just a blog. SO!! I got myself a nice WEBSITE!! (well, mom and dad got me a nice website--THEY'RE AWESOME!!! seriously, mom, i'm so grateful!! and so excited!) With all this Marriage business ( :) ), expenses are piling up and we're trying to make enough to actually afford to um..live! haha. so, i'm trying to get my drawing business back up and running, along with Mary Kay of course! But i'm also adding in Prints of my photography i've done in the past-nothing huge by any means but still.... And painting too. I don't have much done and photographed in that dept, but I'm putting on the one i did and gave to Annette for Christmas so hopefully.....yeah. :)
