Here's where we were this weekend...
We took a little time out to go skiing! Side note - I took a seminar this weekend to learn how to use the DSLR camera I have the pleasure of safeguarding (being yearbook teacher has its perks!!), and all of the pics in this post were shot in manual mode, and I haven't edited them one tiny bit. Heck yes!!
The conditions were VERY snowy (and cold - it was in the high teens with wind chill - a bit much for a heat-loving lizard like me), which caused Eric to wear his driving game face the whole way off of the "rim" (otherwise known as the Colorado Plateau, for you Geography pros).
I guess I would wear my driving game face, too!
We had the pleasure of spending a little time the night before with my dad...
And mom...
At their time share in Kohl's Ranch (my aunt and uncle came too, but I wasn't sure they wanted their pictures broadcast about the internets... My parents however, have to love me regardless). I'm pretty extra pleased about these pics. They were taken inside at night (in VERY low light), and using my class notes, I was able to "manual mode" the crap out of these shots. Booyah. See how the last one even incorporates my new knowledge of "depth of field?" I'm pretty pleased.
Did you have yesterday off? What did y'all do with your long weekend? Did you, like me, become exponentially less frightened of the extreme confusion that can be caused by a DSLR camera? Do tell, and have a happy Tuesday, friends!

Weekend
I had intended this weekend to contain a little DIY project, but I was so busy trying to spend my extra time exercising that I totally forgot! (<- nerd alert!!) I did do a lot of running up and down this butte, though...
I also did a lot of running around the lake in the foreground. Good thing the views are great and the weather was SPECTACULAR...
A rock on this pathway took a giant piece out of my tennis shoe - new ones are in order (boo!). I guess I should learn to run without tripping before I invest in new ones, though ;)
At least the view from the top is great. Have I mentioned that we love living in Tempe? I hope you all had fantastic weekends, and if all goes well, I'll have a DIY project to show you tomorrow (after I run this darned mountain another 5 times). Happy Monday, friends!!
