Horsey riding

Robert and Alex










The seating was interesting at the basketball tournament.. this was actually the best seating we got the whole weekend. There were no bleachers to sit on!

Family weekends are the best

We are havinjg a great memorial day weekend with the fam in the bay area for Roberts basketball tournament. So far they have won 2 games and lost 2 and still have a chance of winning. We are planning to go horseback riding tomorrow and play cards and stuff somewhere in there as well. It is nice to get to spend time with everyone and my cousin who is here who pretty recently just got back from his mission in Argentina. We got to go to my grandparents ward today and the weather has been so nice that we have been eating outside and took a walk today around the neihborhood.

Chloè Says Hello!!

Little Bits of Nature- Photography book assignment

Ok. So I have worked on these photos for my final in my class and they are all sitting pretty in my book to turn in tomorrow. depending on your computer monitor they may or may not look the way they are intended to. These are scanned in from B&W negatives and I did a little editing to represent how I print these in the darkroom and spotting etc. I did put watermarks on them because these are my original artwork so please please please don't use them without my permission or anything like that ok :)

Thank you- and enjoy

People should watch this to Educate themselves!!

So I recently watched the movie An Education, I hadn't heard about it from anyone but it was nominated for a bunch of stuff and got awards I guess. I didn't know what it was about except for the hint that the title of the movie gives about the plot. I really liked it and Alex didn't like it much. It's not like a movie to watch for entertainment though, no action or comedians. I thought it had a great message and story. So I am going to say that I would recommend watching it because I think it is moving. It wasn't like "tear fest" or anything I only teared up a little bit because you can somewhat predict what is going to happen and it breaks your heart when it does. This girl is smart, witty, clever, driven, and beautiful. She has so much going for her and you watch her go down this slippery slope. Drawn away from her dreams and goals to go to Oxford University. What was once important to her isn't anymore and she finds her morals and expectations slipping as well. She thought she was being smart and finds out that it wasn't smart or what she wanted at all. I think a lot of people have had experiences like this maybe not as extreme. I know I have as a youth. It is sometimes hard to protect ourselves from temptation especially if it is disguised at first and slowly reveals it's true self. We should never lose sight of what is most important to us; our goals, dreams, morals, and expectations, our future. We are here to make our own decisions and there is always a choice, even after we have made mistakes we can chose differently and we can change the path we are on.




And of course everyone knows that the movie The Blindside is amazing and wonderful. If you haven't seen it you had better! YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Hey there stranger..

So I know I haven't posted in FOREVER no biggie right? anyways I have been busy and obviously away from the computer since I haven't been posting to my bloggy. We went to Stony Ford and went motorcycle riding with the bikes and quad last weekend and it was a lot of fun but we were freezing and it rained a lot. it was fun splashing through the puddles though and yes that is mud all over my face. haha.

Stony Ford Trip

We ended up staying only one night because it was so wet and rainy we all wanted to take a hot shower and sleep in our warm beds after the first night cause we were soaking wet from riding all day in the mud. There were no serious injuries except for the quad. Rob drove it right into a tree and bent the bar by the right wheel so that needs to be replaced now. The trip was a lot of fun though we all enjoyed it.

We had a nice Easter. Alex and I went up to his parents Alex was there fri-sun and I was just there Sunday cause I had to work sat. Conference was awesome. I still have to watch some that I missed but it is recorded for me.

I bought the Love Never Dies soundtrack cause I heard some good things about it and it is pretty god I like it. I hope it is successful so we can see it sometime in the US hopefully in San Fran :) but most likely in NY is where it would open I bet. Alex and I listened to it on the drive on Sunday. Alex's favorite songs are "Till I hear you sing", and "Devil take the hindmost". My favorite is "Till I hear you sing" and Love never dies". We saw 2 rainbows and lots and lots of pouring rain the majority of the drive home which was not the best..

Spring break was nice to relax. I kinda wish I could have had lab time though at school but it was closed for the week. I wanna get my photo assignments done and be able to work on stuff that I want to do.. I made a funny picture from a photo of me in my photoshop class. I changed like everything in my face and just kinda had fun with it.. it's silly.
