The boys...

I realized the other day that I've only been scrapbooking pictures of Clint and I on the Temple grounds. But we had a bunch of amazing people involved in our special day. Today, I did a page showcasing the groomsmen. I like how it turned out. Its nice and bright. I keep having to remind myself that I don't need to stick to just black, white and turquoise. :p Bright colors really add to it, I think. I tend to gravitate towards the neutrals. I found a page similar to this online that gave me the inspiration to create this. :)

I don't have a unique title....

but I do have a funny story!!! :p Clint was at work on friday night, and he had a few guys come into the electronics department. His department was being waxed, and customers weren't allowed in the movie section, to avoid accidents. The guys asked for a movie, so Clint carefully walked over and got the movie. They were all talking about all these "man" movies (as Clint calls them). After talking for a few minutes, one of them suddenly says to Clint, "Hey! We should go out sometime!" Clint was pretty much stunned. He tells me he immediately thought, "If this guy touches me, I'm going to lose my job!" He kinda stammered for a few minutes, then said to the guy, "um...I'm MARRIED." I guess the guy just kind of brushed it off, tried to give Clint his number, saying "well, if you ever change your mind..."

LOL! I don't know that I've ever laughed so hard. I mean, Clint doesn't exactly give off vibes that would give someone the idea that he might be into men. :p

New Page...

I haven't scrapbooked in a few weeks, with the exception of the Scrappin' Sampler class I did a couple weeks ago at Scrapbooks, Etc. One week, Clint and I were VERY sick with a nasty upper respiratory infection. Last week, we were really busy with preperations for Kyler's graduation....well, mostly, I just ran errands all day. We didn't really have any "preperations" to make :p We just had lots of air horns to buy :p

This is detail of the bottom of the page...
Detail of the top of the page....

Bad picture of the entire page....

I really think this might be my favorite page I've made so far. I really like the way it turned out. Of course, its a yucky picture, taken with my Blackberry. I have no idea where my digital camera is. I should probably find it before we go camping next month....

Anyway.....I promise I'll blog more soon. I've been really bad about it later. But we are alive. And I am still scrappin' away! :)

She's the life of everyone's party, and brings joy to everyone in her presence. The above points were sent to me via email, but they bring back floods of memories from my childhood. :)
