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!!
