It would seem an update is long overdue - and alas, here's one for you!
- University of British Columbia next semester! - with a serious contemplation of a switch in Majors (graphic design, photography, or English/Secondary Education... maybe).
- No really big plans for summer yet. I think we just booked a condo in Mexico for a few nights in late June, and Courtney (hopefully) is coming to visit for a bit in July. School starts... September 5th, I believe, so I'll be headed up there in late August.
- Everything is swell with the family. I have no idea what Caleb's plans are next semester, but as far as future-career plans, he's still headed down the game-design track. "Dad's" school is opening another campus for the Fall, so that's kind of exciting. And mom is still working at the hospital.
- My grandparents (from my mom's side) came down to visit in... early April, I think it was. 'Twas nice seeing and spending time with them! We took them down to Mexico as well. Actually, there's a funny story attached to that trip (haha, I don't think the Body's have any trips without funny/ironic stories attached). Anyway, we bought these huge bags of Cheetotis (knock-off of Cheetohs), to bring back as gifts. And when I say huge, I mean huge... (here's a photo from our last trip when we saw them - )
So anyway, we bought two of these bags, and of course, with the 6 of us in the van, we had to strap them to the roof. We found a trash bag and put one in there, and then the other one just on top of the roof, and tied them down with bungee cords. A few hours out, somewhere in Southern Arizona, my mom looks in the rear-view mirror and sees this trail of Cheetotis behind us... So we all turn around to look, and here we were littering them all over the road, and they were bouncing off the windshield of the car behind us... and the entire back of the car was covered in orange Cheetoti dust. Haha, I don't know why I didn't take a photo! Ah well. It was quite funny though, and we ended up having to sit with these huge (not terribly pleasant smelling) bags in our laps for the remaining (not terribly short) ride. - Oh, and a family photo (missing Caleb!):
 - I just got back from a trip to NC. I went for Courtney's graduation/birthday, so that was really fun. And, of course, another picture for you...
 - And, lastly, I finally acquired a new laptop! (No, it's not a Mac.) Aside from the (somewhat-expected-and-increasingly-annoying) Vista flaws, it seems quite swell and I quite enjoy it! It's an HP tx1127cl... 12" Dual Core and touchscreen/tablet!
Well, that's about it for now! I'll try to remember to more frequently update! I hope everything is going fantastically with everyone - it seems like I've not chatted with several of you for quite some time!

I'm going to Canada next semester!
I'll be studying at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver!
It looks like an extraordinarily beautiful campus. It's right on the coast and they offer some intriguing classes! I'm going to take a semester off from my teaching courses to study graphic design and [hopefully] photography. :) I'm really excited to go! It should only push me back one semester, and it times out just right for my Master's degree which, at this point, I'm planning to get in Australia! They offer a Masters of Educational Technology, and you can get it in just 9 months. Plus, I've always wanted to go there... what better opportunity??
 | Anyway, enough about my lofty education plans. Other than that, nothing going on - well, except spring break, which promises to bring hours of pure boredom... Haha. :) No big
plans aside from a concert [Anberlin!] and skiing[/snowboarding] for a day or so.
In other [not so exciting] news, my grandfather passed away this weekend. Prayers for my grandmother and family would be appreciated!! Okay, enough from me! I hope you're all doing swell! | [ View Original Post and Leave/Read Comments ] | | |

I have a bit of news, but I'm holding off until I'm sure of it. Though most of you probably already know. I just don't want to get prematurely excited like the NY/Canada trip... Anyway, I'll be back shortly with a more informative update. Until then, have a photo. :)

I know I'm a little, but better late than never, eh? As for the drought of updates:
I ended up going on a (semi) last minute trip to NC. I went to the beach with Courtney for a week, and then did stuff around Greensboro for a few days. It was a nice trip; definitely nice to get away for a bit! :) 
Then my old server died... again. So I switched to a new host, which resulted in me having to re-upload everything. I've been a bit busy and just haven't gotten around to doing anything until now! Anyway, school started last Monday. I'm terribly overwhelmingly excited with my classes (or ASU...), but oh well! My photo job also started up again last Saturday (with a long day, I might add... 3am-6pm - Yikes!) Speaking of photos, I decided to change the way my photos are! I'm making it more of a "portfolio"! I think I'm also going to keep the gallery I have now for "not-portfolio worthy" things. We shall see. Until then, I need to decide on a button/logo thing. Which do you like better? A:
 or B:
 Preference? Click either one of them to check it out! Let me know what you think! :) Until next time; have a lovely week everyone! [ View Original Post and Leave/Read Comments ] | | |
