Grand Canyon Pictures:

My new facebook picture.

You Are Impressionism

You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways. You tend to focus on color and movement in art. For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail. You can find inspiration anywhere… especially from nature.

What Art Movement Are You?

I have a bunch of Christmas ornaments tutorials that I bookmarked and since I am cleaning out my bookmarks I thought I’d share them all with you. You can add them to your overflowing bookmarks. *wink*

No pictures yet. Yesterday my parents, myself, and my brother Jonny left at 3:30 a.m. and headed out. We made it to Omaha, NE by 7:30 a.m. for my mom’s dentist appointment. (Yes, we go all the way to Omaha for a dentist). Then we hit the road heading for Denver, CO. Lot’s of driving across flat Nebraska. I didn’t have to drive at all on this trip. My dad and Jonny drove the entire way. I don’t think I will be so lucky again though. We had a picnic along the way of ham sandwiches and salad and got to Denver around 7:00pm our time 6:00pm because of the time change. It took us a little time to find the hotel we were meeting my grandparents and sisters at but found it eventually. We moved in and then headed out to find somewhere to eat. Qdoba is really good if you like Mexican food. Back to the hotel for swimming and then hitting the hay. Now it is 8:00am and we will be eating some grapefruit for breakfast and then hitting the road. I love road trips!

We are heading to San Diego today! My brother Andrew’s marine boot camp graduation is April 4. We will be taking our time heading to San Diego making stops in Denver, the Grand Canyon, and Hoover Dam. My grandparents are coming with and we will have tons of fun on this trip. And we get to see Andrew again! The above picture is from his platoon video. We are pretty sure this is Andrew. It is hard to tell. They all look the same!

I will hopefully be able to post some pictures of our trip along the way. I have some posts set up already (Saturday Links, Quizzes) and am hoping to fill everything else in with what we are doing on this vacation. Yay for vacations!

Your Psyche is Violet

You are spiritual, intuitive, and serene. People trust you to rescue them from bad situations, and you usually come through. While you are quite enlightened, you find that your path is very lonely. When you are too violet: you can’t connect to ordinary life or ordinary people. When you don’t have enough violet: you lack wisdom and can’t learn from the past.

What Color Is Your Psyche?

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all get a chance to reflect on the real reason for this holiday.
