Back from SLC!

ahhhh! It is amazing how a couple days away totally recharges me! I went up north to take pictures of sweet little Zoia, my friend brookies first baby!

I left Tuesday and stayed with my Sister in Provo. I went to open mic night downtown and loved it! It was not really something that I would normally have the desire to go to, but I totally loved it! I wonder sometimes why I wasn't blessed with a good voice, I love music so much, it speaks to me in so many ways. Ash loves music too, but alas was cursed with the same off tune, off pitched voice as mine. Funny how that works.

Wednesday helped prove that I have the worst luck. No matter how hard I try life causes me more stress then the normal person. Not that anything really terrible happened, just nothing really went my way. Ash and I woke up and we tried to take her car into the shop, but we couldn't get it to start. I ended up pushing the car down a freaking freezing provo road to get it to start. When we got back Ash realized that her school was closed and she couldn't do my hair. So she just cut it in her kitchen... my hopes to dye it dark will have to be done somewhere else!!!

After my new hair cut, we went shopping and I headed up to ogden to see Brookie and Zoia. I got stuck in traffic (oh I hate the city) and when I called Brooke for directions one of her other friends answered the phone. Grrrr! It is not like I dont like this friend, I just wanted time alone with brookie, it is bad enought that she was there at the hospital and I wasn't...cant I just have my time with her? By the time I got there and started pictures the sun was going down and with all the comotion and visitors little Zioa was wide awake. I ending up shooting with my flash and shooting with a wide awake fussy baby. I felt so bad, I know how hard it is for first time parents to hear their newborn baby cry! I decided after awhile that it might be better to wait until the morning when I could get better shots so we called it good and spent the rest of the evening with no other drama.

We visited the rest of the time and I had a chance to get to know Brookies hubby much better. He even farted really loud to remind me of home (gotta love hubbys for that!) I can't wait to get pictures edited of little Z, she is a tiny little thing! I could have stayed forever and kissed on her. She was such a beautiful baby! But I was missing my family and my little vacation of "me time" was coming to a close. It is good to be home.
