Have I fallen off the face of the earth?
Kind of.

I have been busy with Rhapsody's wedding, adjusting with her moving to North Dakota, a new semester of school, and a new job.
Let's just say that I'm still here. Barely here sometimes, but still here nonetheless.

Here is a photo of me the other day at my new job. I work for the tree crew on BYU grounds:

I'm learning how to use the ropes to get up into the tree. Not as easy as you'd think. It is pretty tough. I also love wearing the sexy helmet. Definitely going to find me a man with that one.
Hahahahaha
I still love my classes in school. I am taking an interior plant class and loving every second of it. I love plants. Yup. I do.
I am also taking a landscape design class. Here are a couple shots of some things I've worked on:

 Using color for tree symbols:

I almost can't handle how adorable my little munchkins are. Here's a little dance they did for the whole family. For your enjoyment:

Ode to a beautiful plant that has been my constant companion at work. I love this beautiful plant! The leaves tilt towards the light as you can see. The pink colors inside each leaf look like paint. It is super beautiful. I think it has nearly doubled in size since I first got it. It sits on the edge of my desk greeting everyone who walks through the front door. What you can't see is that the back side of each leaf is a dark deep maroon color. Gorgeous!!

Die Hard Fans = Me and Rhapsody

Can you see how bundled we are? It was so cold. 

This is at the last BYU game:

Check out the amount of show we had to clear off our seats before we could sit down. It was FREEZING. Weston and Kristina were there with us. We all huddled really close so that we could stay a bit warm.

 Worth it? YES! We totally won! Check out my free necklace I got at the game:

Happy Halloween

Rhap and I went fishing last night. I say "last night" because we went fishing around 6:30 and it got dark really quick. Most of our time was spent using flashlights and trying not to get a hook in one of our eyeballs.

Here is a picture of our fishing spot:

Our spot was really close to where we parked. Usually we go around the lake to the other side, but this time we just went to the water and started fishing. 

Here is Rhap getting our poles ready:

 It was freezing cold, so we had to be bundled up:

 Rhap caught the first fish of the night. (notice how dark it is already)

This trout looked different than all the rest of them. It has some really beautiful orange and yellow colors in it. It had a beautiful color:

 Count em' up!! Anyone want fish for dinner? YAY

Of course you know there is always more to the story than the smiling pictures. Rhapsody straight up became an actual bear in her fishing techniques.

Rhap had just caught a fish and I was holding the chain to help her out. We got her fish through the gills and onto the metal chain. However- before I was able to clasp it shut the fish started flinging itself around. Now- I am usually a really reliable partner, but not in this instance. I am so afraid the fish is going to bite me that I allowed the fish to fling itself off of the chain hook and it fell to the ground.

Of course when the fish flung itself from the chain- I was standing close to the lake, so the fish just flipped right into the water.

Now here is where we see Rhap transform from a blonde-girl to a grizzly-bear. She throws herself into the water and begins frantically gripping for the fish that just escaped. 

Hahahahaha

Rhap got a grip on the fish, but the little sucker got loose. Now Rhap was getting desperate. She started really concentrating and using all of her momma-bear skills. Somehow she located the fish and grabbed it and chucked it back onto the shore.

I stood there laughing so hard. When she threw the fish onto the shore it landed directly in the lid of our tackle box. Perfect shot!

It was the best time I have ever had fishing.
