Photography

New Business Idea...

I love Photography. Always have. Therefore, I have decided to start a small business type thing. I want to do pictures for friends, family, friends of family, family of friends. You name it, I'll do it!

I am very excited to get started on something that I have wanted to do for so long. If you, or someone you know is looking for someone to do pictures, I am here!! I am charging $50 and you will get a CD with all the photos on it. I think that is not a bad offer?

Football Night at the Olson's

Well, you all know that I am from New Jersey. So I clearly grew up a Giants and NY Yankees fan!! Who else would I be a fan of!?

Unfortunately, I fell in love with my husband and found out he was an Eagles fan and a Boston RedSox fan. How can this be!? I married him despite his faults, and continue to love him. However, when we have sports in our house, things get kind of intense.

I have to say, I hate having the loud screaming and dancing in each others faces, but I do love to win and rub it in! :) Our families don't help the situation either. My parents always get me Yankees items (i love the tree skirt) and his parents always get him Redsox items (and me Yankees). They are encouraging the rivalry. We each have our jerseys for our teams, and come game time, we don't usually speak.

It is fun to have a rivalry, we pretend it matters, but when it comes down to it, my teams are better, I MEAN, we love each other no matter what! GO YANKEES!! GO GIANTS!!

At least we will always have BYU, no matter how bad they are!

Practice Makes Perfect

So I have decided to use what I learned years ago and start to take pictures for family and friends! I have done two sessions so far and have another one soon! I love it so much! I am so excited to continue this and practice practice practice until I can get it Perfect.

Privates...

My ABSOLUTELY AMAZING husband worked so hard and went above and beyond when studying, and he PASSED his Privates test!!

He is officially a proud owner of a Helicopter Privates License!

Congrats to you sweetie!

Fall is Coming...

I love the Fall season. It is PERFECT weather, Beautiful views, FOOTBALL, and some good times with family and friends!




Jake and I went to Utah this weekend to visit the family in Saratoga Springs and to attend a BYU Football game! It was well worth it in the end! BYU can let us down time and time again, but when they don't, it makes it worth being fan!

Saturday was an adventure. We went to Rodizio's in American Fork and had UNLIMITED meat! (too bad I don't eat anything but chicken and turkey...) We decided it was a vegetarian's or anorexic's worst nightmare! And Taylor told us that "This must be what heaven is like, and everyone that goes to hell, they are the ones that serve us the meat!" Not a better way to put it! Beautiful Brazilians serving you endless meat, it was DELICIOUS, or like we found, dinner AND a SHOW!

After stuffing ourselves full we went to a wonderful car wash where we found that my dad is VERY picky about how his car looks! Even though he embarrassed us quite a bit, we still love him and had fun! (P.S. If you can't find Taylor at the Brazilian restaurant, she is probably at the car wash.)

It was a wonderful way to spend a weekend. Full of laughs, endless meats, and the world's greatest football game (so far???)!

Driving vs Flying

So Jake and I were driving home from the store yesterday, when he told me something really interesting. 

Jake: "You want to know something funny?"
Arli: "What's that?"
Jake: "I am not afraid to fly a helicopter, but for some reason when I get in the car with you I am so nervous! I don't mean it meanly or anything, I just think it's funny."
Arli: "Well in a helicopter you have the control, when I am driving, you don't have any control. I guess that can be scary!"
Jake: "Sure, I guess that could be it. I don't know, I am just so nervous when you are driving!"

Thank you sweetie, for making me feel SO great!! LOVE YOU!

I have a problem...and I don't want to fix it!

My life motto!!

Oh how wonderful... :)

Shoes make me smile!

How can you NOT love these!

 My love and life (besides my husband!) I so wish that I could just buy buy buy shoes! My closet and my wallet are not big enough!! 

Oh the day that I can make my own world, it will be FILLED with SHOES!!

My New Obsessions

So I found this website, the most addicting website EVER! (Even more than Facebook, I think!) 

wWw.piNterEst.coM (no caps)

They have some of the cutest things on this site! There are things from photography, design, home decor, and DIY projects! Tons of things! I have been scrolling through the pages and pages of pictures and amazing ideas! I think all of you should view it...or don't start, because you WILL get addicted!

ENJOY!

Jakes Solo Flight

Pictures from Jake's Solo Flight! Congrats sweetie!!

We are all SO proud of you!! <3

Solo Flight//Finals

So I am SOO proud of my WONDERFUL husband Jacob Olson! He passed his Solo Flight tests!! All 3! So now he can fly by himself! (He has to do everything the instructor says, but he can still do it by himself! :) One step closer to Privates and finishing altogether! (I think I am more hopeful for the finish than I should be...He still has 4 years!) Oh man!

Not only that but I finished another semester of school! Of COURSE I did great! I have one final semester with only 2 classes that I need, and then I had to take 2 electives due to the Scholarship I recieved! I am so excited to finally be closer to finishing, however it is starting to hit me that I am going to be done soon, which means student teaching soon...which means I do it all on my own! AHH!! SO SCARY! I don't know if I am ready enough for that! I guess we will find out! Good thing one of my classes is the Senior Practicum, which is basically student teaching but only 2 days and half the credits. I guess that will better prepare me for the final semester! Thank goodness! SO NERVOUS! 

Life couldn't be better, and I couldn't be more grateful for such a loving, hardworking, handsome husband who really supports me and cares for me! He is so great and I am so lucky! I know that things are just going to keep on getting better! It has been 2 and a half years since we were happily married in the Washington D.C. Temple! Each day just keeps getting better! :) Love you sweetie!

Happily Forever...

I married my best friend. Jacob Olson is the best man in the world. We have so much fun together, even if it means we are just sitting in front of the T.V. being lazy. He works so hard and is so strong. I am so proud of him and I hope he knows how much I truly love him. 

BYU Football Game

Mesa Falls -- Riding the Harley

I can't believe that it has been two and a half years since we were married for all eternity (LONG WAYS TO GO!) :) I can't believe that I got so lucky with such a loving, sweet, and amazing man.

I love my husband, everything about him. Thank you sweetie, for being so amazing! <3 You are the greatest man in the world. Thanks for loving me and being so great to me! :)

Happy Fourth

Fun in the Sun!!

Jesse wanted to be next to us, sleeping on my arm was the next best thing

Happy Fourth to everyone! I hope you all had just as much fun as we did on the fabulous day we spend to celebrate our countries freedom! 

So Sleepy!

Wild hair, wild ride!

Our Visitor...

 

Hot hubby! :)

First, Jake and I headed to his brother Josh's house for a BBQ. We played with the kids, visited with family, and enjoyed some delicious food. Afterwards we went to get our pups and took them for a walk around the river. They were so good and it was so fun! (Except getting sunburned!)

Me and Danie!

MWA!

We took the babies home and got the Harley Davidson. It was so funny driving that with two camping chairs sitting on my lap in the back.




Once we were there we sat around waiting for the fireworks with more friends and family. At about 10:00 when it got dark the extraordinary show began. It was truly magnificent, although I was jealous that my parents were sitting on the Hudson river for their fireworks show! UNFAIR!




Overall the whole day was wonderful and peaceful!


I loved having the day off from school and work to spend with my wonderful husband!

Beautiful!

Love it!
