I love...
little brothers (and amazing brother-in-laws!). The "little" brothers never cease to amaze me with how strong they are when their worlds are constantly being rocked. You guys are such great examples to me! I love you Seth, David and Dillon! Keep going strong!

School Work
So I'm finally trying this blog stuff. Since Meagan usually covers the fun stuff that we do together, I don't have much to report. But since I just finished another semester I figured I could post some of the images that I have rendered for projects that I've worked on.
These are renderings that are used to illustrate the ideas and designs that we develop for our projects. This last semester the project we worked on was to design a town center and Main street beautification. These are some of the images I produced using sketchup (a 3D modeling program) and Photoshop.















These images are ones that I did for a project last semester as just a fun, goofy design for a Disney competition.

Spoiled Rotten!
I have to brag on Dustin again, although I'll probably get busted for posting this. Even though I'm not a Mom yet Dustin treated me like absolute royalty on Sunday. He gave me the most perfect Mother's Day. I woke up to the smell of cinnamon roll cake (which is DIVINE) baking (don't tell his secrets, though!). He gave me the most beautiful bouquet of orchids and an awesome orchid corsage to wear to church.


Dinner was even better than breakfast as he experimented with some of his dutch oven recipes in the kitchen. Here was the menu:
Chicken stuffed with pepper jack cheese (my favorite ever) and green onions, then rolled in Ritz crackers...


For the sides we had garlic mashed potatoes with garlic and parmesan cheese. Then we had acorn squash stuffed with cream cheese (another favorite of mine), bacon and green onions. Nothing good for you about this meal, but it was heavenly! The best part was that he made it all up on his own and cooked it all by himself!

For dessert I made my first ever fruit pie to take to my Mom. Unfortunately the berries started to bleed on me, but I still think it turned out pretty good for a first attempt. Man, why do we like food so much?! :)

Dustin is definitely a keeper! I cannot even imagine life without Dustin. He makes me the happiest I have ever been and each day gets even better. These past few weeks as I've been struggling with work and things he has carried me. I love you, Dustin!

Saguaro
Today for my random picture taking fun the subject of choice was the Saguaro cactus. You might be thinking that I have no life posting all these pictures of random cacti and you're probably right...I've had the last five days off and with all the Saguaro cactus in bloom they were too pretty not to take pictures of. :) Here are some pictures if anyone is interested in my quirky hobbies...

Dud's Delights
Randomly I come home from a long day of work to a fun suprise from Dustin. Today made the top of the list. We keep talking about making yummy smoothies, but haven't gotten around to it. When I came home from work I found Dustin standing behind a homemade bar set up in our kitchen (made out of a piece of lumbar and 5 gallon buckets) saying "Welcome to Dud's Delights". He made our very own smoothie shop complete with menus, a homemade barstool (thanks to a big dictionary), mood lighting, and state of the art one on one service. How awesome is that? The smoothies were superb and it was so much fun to have a unique date night with one of Dustin's random creations. I love Dustin! He is so wonderful to me!
