never.

as of late, our lives have been filled with glad and sad times. we have recently traveled to california and spent 4 days, just skyler and i. we went to disneyland superbowl sunday and the day after and had such an amazing time with one another. its nice to just be able to pic up and go right now. no kids to deal with. no animals to get someone to feed and water. that may change this year.. i dont know.
we also have made a big purchase. we are now proud owners of a Canon 5D Mark II camera. it. is. amazing. i mean, i thought when i married skyler i was in love, then i got this camera.. Im kidding obviously. i wouldnt trade skyler for anything in this world. with a growing client base, it was s necessary purchase and i love and care for all of you who support me. with the amazing feeling of the suport from all of you, of course youll have those people who have to try and bring you down. the ones who hurt you. the ones who tear you down because theyre too unhappy with themselves. just remember, you are loved. you were brought here for a purpose, and for every purson who is tearing you down, there are outnumbered by the ones who are holding you up.

im such a bad person.

who knows how long it has been since i have posted. ive tried to keep up with it and ive NEEDED to, but when im on a computer i am either editing or pinning. yes, sad but true.

this was our year to spend christmas with my family and we had a fabulous time. they just moved into a new home and it. is. amazing. it is still under construction but we had a great time and skyler got to help my dad do alot. burn things. out up doors. hang blinds. skyler loves helping. he wishes he couldve been able to help more but my parents were dead set on having a good time while we were there... those party poopers... natalie and kevin were there. it was a good time. the night we got there it was pretty late but the next day we went and cut down our christmas tree! it was so cold. so so so cold. i have thin blood but i had on many layers. we also decided to have a fun photo shoot while we were there. ive never shot in snow and let me tell you.. i was paranoid that i, or natalie or my mom, would drop my camera in the snow and i would cry my sad little eyes out. christmas was good. i got a new laptop, a large canner, an N46, and a durn cute over night bag to name a few. i love giving gifts as well so its not all about the presents for me... here are some photos: 

 

holy hannah.

well i think the words "lost track of time" would be an understatement right now. i have not posted in forever. so much has happened.. well, my parents moved BACK to idaho. yeah, i know. already. i got my wisdom teeth out {2 of them anyways. 1 to go. but thats already been talked about} and i got braces. braceface is the new name, dont wear it out. im cool like that.
fiona and natalie came and went. they are never here long enough. it was so great having them here. we went and ate lots of food, shopped, and watched a hell of a lot of the vampire diaries. i love me some of the salvatore brothers ha. such a good show. I took photos for karli and jaren and they turned out so great. its not hard to get great photos when you have such great and good looking people to take pics of. that same comment being said for krystal and camerons wedding. it was FAB. best wedding ive done to date and i love love loved the party. good times :)
im upset. i am. jersday is no more. next season or jersey shore better be as sleazy as this last season or we are going to be quite upset. it ain't easy bein sleazy. not all the good shows are gone though. extreme makeover home edition is back with new episodes; making me bawl my eyes out every sunday night. {as usual} TVD season 3 started, bomb. i used to be fat is back on. gold rush: alaska. SNL. its been a good last few weeks in the Roussel household dvr.  

i have become slightly obsessed with Drake as of late. okay. slightly might be an undetstatement. i love his voice. it be bomb. headlines is constantly stuck in my head. music makes me happy and all of ya'll know that. Karlees bridal shower was last night and it was faboo. so much fun with everyone there. she is so sweet and innocent it was fun to watch her blush. i took family photos today for some neighbors of ours then sky and i went to red lobster. well, the sign was broken, so it was just Lobster. i had chicken and it wasnt too bad. im on my . though, so everthing makes me sick. lucky me. and my hormones are going INSANE. crying in the middle of the floor has become and expertise of mine... enough typing for me. i cant stop haha. goodnight!

pregnant?!

YEAAAAH NOT ME.. BUT EVERONE ELSE IS!

ITS BABY SEASON IN FULL FORCE AND I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED. IT IS GOOD BIRTH CONTROL, REALLY. THAT WAY, EVERYONE CAN HAVE THEIR BABIES, I CAN PLAY WITH THEM AND GIVE THEM BACK WHEN THEY CRY OR THROW UP ON ME.. BUT ONCE THEY THROW UP, WHATS THE POINT IN GIVING THEM BACK. I MEAN, YOURE ALREADY COVERED IN CURDLED MILK SOOOO.. YA
I GOT 2 OF MY WISDOM TEETH OUT ON THURSDAY MORNING.. KILL ME. KILL ME NOW. OKAY IT WASNT THAT BAD FOR THE FIRST DAY, BUT THE LONGER IT HAS BEEN, THERE IS ALOT MORE SWELLING AND ALOT MORE PAIN. ITS LIKE SOMEONE HAS A FORM AND IS STABBING ME OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN THE JAW {THERE WOULD BE ALOT MORE "OVERS" IN THERE BUT I THINK YOU GET THE PICTURE}I NOW HATE JELLO. AND I HATE PUDDING. ITS BASICALLY ALL I HAVE EATEN FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS BECAUSE I AM TOO AFRAID TO EAT ANYTHING THATS HARD OR PARTICLE FOODS.
WELL,
ITS CONFERENCE WEEKEND!
 LET ME JUST MAKE IT BE KNOWN, PRESIDENT MONSON IS JUST ADORABLE. I AM SO VERY EXCITED FOR THE TEMPLES THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED THIS MORNING. THE ONES THAT I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING ARE THE ONES IN DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA. STAR VALLEY, WYOMING. AND IN PROVO, UTAH.
