it wont stop raining....

(the one picture i took during the rainy days)
it rained everyday last week.
saturday it finally cleared up for a bit.
cory and i were excited to get out and walk to the river.
on our way back it started raining again...
like pouring!
it was kinda fun. kinda cold.
we walked a little over a mile in soaking wet clothes.
since saturday it has rained and rained and rained.
when will we get a break?
oh. and poor cory. he is on the river everyday (and night)
one word: overtime.
even if it rains he will still be out with the research team.
anyways.
after all this rain i am starting to think i have *weather depression*ha. i don't even think it is a real thing.
but i get totally bummed when it rains this much.
grrr.
grrr.
grrr.

that is the sound i make when i am totally bummed.
(or when cory and i are losing at settlers of catan, tyce and rachel understand)
cory makes me happy and we laugh a lot.
i try to be as happy as i can when he is around.
i doubt he would even know that i have been out of it.
he works so hard.what husband wants to come home to a grumpy wife.
i know i wouldn't.
i really just want to be outside taking pictures.
it is quickly becoming a lovely little past time for me.
when i get home i would love to take a class.
till then all i can do is try to take pictures worthy of posting.
wow. i sure am rambling on this post.
i'm starting to think of this blog as more a journal than anything.

  1. OH you sweetheart.

    I got my camera as a hobby to help me get over postpartum depression.

    I took a class online, if you want to look into it. I thought it was super helpful and very good for me to learn to shoot in manual mode.

    Hang in there girl.

    I hope you find things that make you happy.

    Love you!
    Jackie

  4. Hey Ang!

    So here is what I did.
    I look a photo class online from Nicole Hill.
    You can get her textbook for $45, or the class is $125. If you do both you get a discount. I would have to look for the code for you.

    I got the book right after my camera, and it is very good. It was helpful. Then I started the class a month later, which was also good (she is slow about feedback was my only complaint).

    I was glad I did both, it was similar but there were things I learned in the class that didn't pick up in the text, plus it was good repetition which made a big difference.

    Here are the classes.

    I know Nicole is having a baby soon, so I'm not sure when she will offer more or what the deal is, but there is a class for August.

    Here is her regular blog.

    She's from Orem, her family lives across the street from my mom.

    A lot of people love this book, but I haven't read it yet (I'm on the list at the library.)
