My Life In Photos...

This is what we have been up to lately...one wedding-one funeral...basketball & more basketball. Soon it will be house & more house. Spring break will consist of painting and unpacking-finally!! We have been sooo busy with basketball and life, but we have been enjoying it none-the-less. I have still have tons of photos to edit...but this is a sneak peek of what's to come. Check out my photography blog to see more soon. Thanks for all of your input on the beds-I ended up buying the last bed in photos tonight. I also got 2 more rugs for the house and white nightstands for our room. The lamps I ordered finally came in and I love them...I can't wait to put it all together-soon, very soon!!
Time to catch up for all my friends!!

Pinedale Boys Basketball 2010

The Pinedale boys basketball team were the West Wyoming Regional Champs this year....which sent us on to state in Casper. The boys played great for their first game to beat out Rawlins in over time by 5 points. The semi-finals game was a little more rough around the edges. They had a chance to pull it out a few times, but it didn't go (with little help from the refs-but I guess bad calls should be expected). We ended up losing by 7-it was heartbreaking to see those boys faces- they have worked so hard to be state champs this year. Overall they had a wonderful season and I am so proud of them!! They ended up 3rd in the state. They have been so fun to watch...they are so captivating!! Here are a couple shots that I have gotten to since we have been back. The 2 boys are some of the best point guards in the state. The other is a celebration after they were regional champs. The other photo is of the boys wearing their retro warm-ups they found, the coaches promised them that they could wear them if they made it to regionals...they were super excited. Too bad they didn't make it to state or the coaches would have been in green/orange/white tuxes...I guess there's always next year.

New Camera

This site has some seriously cool camera bags and they are giving away a camera!! I am sooo needing a new one that we are currently checking in to. If you want to see what it's all about check it out here:

BTW-I am thinking of selling my camera...if anyone is interested let me know. It's a Canon Digital Rebel-it's one year old and I have some accessories and lenses for it.

Help...

I am trying to decide what bed to buy and in return second guessing my night stand decision. Anyone want to give me their 2 cents on which one you like best? Our walls are tan, trim is white, floors dark brown, bedspread seafoam blue with brown, curtains will be brown-white-blue, roman shades are brown, rug is white fur, and our lamps are brown-clear-white. I would love any advice...thanks!!

Pernio...Chilblain...Pre-Frostbite

I have had this crazy rash/swelling on my foot since the first of the year. I thought I maybe had an allergic reaction to something in the new house. The doctor in Pinedale (who had no clue and little bedside manner) thought I had MRSA-which it clearly was not (he didn't test me nor did he inform me that he thought I had MRSA until I called to find out why he gave me double the dosage of Bactrim-kind of important to know dontcha think?). I now have taken 2 different antibiotics-which my body does not love, and have seen a total of 3 doctors. It is not super fun spending money on useless medical treatments. They did a couple blood tests today to rule out other things and the doctor wants me to see an internist to check out possible causes for my poor foot circulation. However, with my foot they think that I most likely have Pernio/Chilblain (never heard of it?? No worries-I haven't either):

*chilblain /chil·blain/ (chil´blān) a recurrent localized itching, swelling, and painful erythema of the fingers, toes, or ears, caused by mild frostbite and dampness.
*chil·blain n.

Erythema, itching, and burning, especially of the dorsa of the fingers and toes, and of the heels, nose, and ears, resulting from exposure to moist cold. Also called erythema pernio.
*Etymology: AS, cele, cold, bleyn, blister

redness and swelling of the skin caused by excessive exposure to cold. Burning, itching, blistering, and ulceration that are similar to those characteristic of a thermal burn may occur. Treatment includes protection against cold and injury, gentle warming, and avoidance of tobacco. Also called pernio. Compare frostbite.

So...I think my body is once again telling me that it was born to live in a warm environment (that and that I should totally stop smoking-hehe). California anyone??

Basketball

When basketball season is under way it pretty much consumes our every waking moment. I do book and photography and he coaches JV and helps out with Varsity. Here are a few good shots.
