Mowing the Lawn

I absolutely hated mowing the lawn growing up. Maybe it was because I came from a family of all girls and there were no brothers to do it and it always seemed to fall on me. Because I was always asked to mow the lawn and not my dainty older sister I thought my parents were trying to send some kind of messages to me like, " She's sturdy, let's put her to work!". While I know they were doing no such thing and my sister participated in lots of other chores I had no interest in mowing the lawn has always left a sour taste in my mouth. So you may remember from an earlier post that I am doing NOTHING this summer and to be honest its getting a little old. Not warm enough for the water park, I've already painted and repainted my toes more time than should be natural in a week and I need stuff to do! So what am I doing this lovely Thursday morning? Mowing the blasted lawn. Maybe now our neighbors won't think we have abandoned the house we won't be shunned by all the gardeners we live by (seriously who likes to do yard work? I'll tell you, everyone of our neighbors for hours and hours!)
PS I couldn't find a picture of a girl mowing a lawn when I did a google image search. I think its that way for a reason.

California here I come, right back where I started from...

Yeah! I'm off to California on Friday! I know I was just there in April but man I miss it. I am going to keep my mom company because my dad is out of town and she doesn't want to be alone. Isn't that cute? HAah I don't care what the reason is I will take any excuse I can get. I am so excited to go to the temple with her, possibly see Wicked, watch her go nuts with camp and try to help, and see my sister! So sad the hubby can't come. He will be "takin' care of business" and working it up back in Provo so he can take time off to visit California later in the summer. Trader Joe's here I come!

Where are you summer?

Scott and I bought passes to the water park this summer with plans of becoming tan and spending lazy days lounging by the pool. Can someone please tell mother nature I wouldn't mind a little global warming right about now? 65 degrees is simply unacceptable for the high in June. I would appreciate a day with 80' so I can make the most of the "largest water park in Utah". Thank you. See you at the pool with my Martha Stewart Living magazine and new hotpink beach bag.

New Business Cards!

Above is the back, below is the front

So I ordered some new business cards that will be here next week! They are very girly and so even though Scott and I shoot together these ones are just for me to hand out! A girl just needs to be girly! Oh and our webiste is getting a major facelift in the next few weeks, I will keep you posted but it's going to look awesome!

Too funny!

My friend totally has this link on her blog but I am copying! Click on this link and see what stars would look like if they lived in Utah! My favorite would be Tom Cruise!

So Lame!

I love to look at people's blogs and get caught up on what they are doing. I get so annoyed when people don't update and I don't know what they are doing. It just dawned on me that I am the worst at not updated the blog! I'm so lame! Let me catch you up on the McNairy happenings and then I vow to be more consistent. (I think the problem with all this technology and blogging is I feel like after readying your blogs I've had a conversation with you and caught up, and forget that that catching up was only one sided!)

Kristine- I have been teaching at an alternative high school these last 3 months and have absolutely loved it. My last day was on Friday and I don't work- one more time for those that are slow- I DONT WORK until mid August when school school starts again. Being a teacher is awesome! There will be some weddings and other photography related stuff keeping me busy but my plans this summer consist of going to seven peaks often and getting my rear in gear by getting in shape. If anyone has any ideas on how to not go crazy without a car, kids, or a job this summer let me know.

Scott- Finishing up last and final class at BYU Spring term. 3 more weeks and he is officially done. After much debate and prayers it looks like we are staying in Utah for the next few years. We tried, we begged, we pleaded to end up in California but sometimes prayers are answered in ways we don't expect. Scott got an awesome job in Orem that he loves at a company called WEBReady maintaining and creating their websites. He loves it so much he was actually sad he didn't have work on Memorial Day. I love that he loves what he is doing. I love that we sort of know where we will be for the next bit. I'm starting to love Utah.

So there you have it. I am about to call my sister and find out how to make one of those slide show things so I can update you on our happenings pictorially.

Let the not so lame summer begin!
