Fun Photo Shoot

A friend in my ward is starting up a photography business and asked Brad and I to pose for her, and I'm glad she did. We had a lot of fun and probably talked more then we took pictures. We never had real engagement pictures taken so I treated this like the real deal. I was kinda stress out though after because I thought I was going to look stupid, and then I was worried she wouldn't get any picture she could use. But man she must be really good because they turned out great. You think all those years of posing for ballet pictures would have payed off but I was in my element I guess. I think I have camera fright but Brad looks like a stud in all the pictures. He is just a born model. Anyways...here are some of my favorites!







I love this picture, just wish I didn't have a lazy eye.

Summer

Summer has been great!! I feel busier now then I do during my normal work year. Here is what we've been up to...
1.My students had their last Peter and the Wolf performance (out of 9)
2.Managed to get all my recital dances done in time for recital, and all the dancers did a great job.
3.Stayed at my parents vacation home in the mountains for the weekend and went to Ikea, my favorite store.
4.Was suppose to have a week off but ended up teaching a few classes at a local Community Center.
5.Went camping with family and friends at Mt. Rainer, it was beautiful!! We had a great time.
6.Had my first session of "Glee" summer dance camp
7.Had a really fun photo shoot with my friend Jodee who is starting up a photography business, I felt like a model for a few hours.
8.Brad with the help of his cousin cleared out the backyard and built a really cute shed.
9.My sister came into town and we had a Ransom family reunion at my parents new house in the mountains.
10.Started my first week of teaching for the 3 week summer intensive at my studio.
11.Went Boating!!! It was extra special because this is our first time in 2 years.
12.We actually had people over twice in one week to play games and went to our friends house to watch a movie! That is a big step for Brad and I, we have been so pre occupied with the house it's nice to finally have time to have non house FUN!
13.And this weekend Brad, the cousins, our bro-in-law Nick and his brother, spread out in our backyard 25,000 pounds of river rock!! It was a big job and we could not have done it without them!!
That's pretty much it. We are looking forward to August when we both have time off, and July Brad's family is all going to be together!! I just love summertime.
