News Update!

Yes, It's true.
I actually have something to post about! Horray!
Well, basically. I finally got myself started on my new job. I'm sure half of the people reading this have no idea what the company is. But then again, that leaves the half of you that do! Woo!

Well...........I started a job at OrangeSoda.com two days ago! My last day at Nu Skin was today. I decided that I need to devote all of my thoughts and time into training for this job, which leaves little to no time to work at Nu Skin. But it was definitely time for me to leave and move on with my life. And I am incredibly happy and grateful for this amazing job opportunity. It couldn't hav come at a better time in my life.

For the half of you that don't know, OrangeSoda is an Online Marketing company and my job title is a Sales Rep. It probably sounds pretty easy, but I can't tell you how absolutely overwhelming the amount of information I'm receiving is. But I feed off of everything I can get myself into. I've found what I think is my perfect niche. And though I'm still 100% set in studying photography, this may be a possible full time career opportunity which REALLY excites me.

Training has been a little bit stressful, I'm not going to lie. And with the fact that I've quit wint-o-greens cold turkey, it's all the more stressful. That probably sounds like a total joke, but it most definitely is not. It got to a point with those suckers that I was eating a full bag a day. Sometimes even one big bag a day. I had no idea how bad my addiction for it was until I got to my third day of being W-O-G free. It's absolutely miserable and I'm actually suffering really bad withdrawals, but I'll pull through! It sounds really lame, but it's actually a HUGE accomplishment for me to do this. And Brandon would probably be able to tell you how aggressive and mean I get with these withdrawals, but he's hangin' on! Anyway, I'm hoping these withdrawals will end soon, as well as the lack of sleep they are giving me. It can't be healthy for the amount of knowledge I must take in over the course of the next week.

Anyways, I thought I would just share that bit of information! I love you all and hope you have a fantastic 4th of July!

Photo shoots!

So due to this glorious weather, I've been able to go out and take some good pictures! I did a shoot with my roommate, Alex. It was pretty retro. I'm pretty stoked on it. And then shortly after, I did some engagement pictures for a friend from home, so that was pretty cool! Im pretty excited about all of it. And I'm hopefully going out with Marci and then Kali too for a shoot too. But for now I'll post some of the pictures I took at both shoots.
First I'll start with Alex's:



And then Gary and Laura's:

Hello, Blogger world.

So, this weekend I'm doing my first real photo shoot ever. And to be honest, I am soooo nervous! They're engagement pictures for my friend from high school. To get a little practice in, since Im a little out of shape, Im going out with Marci tomorrow and doing a shoot in the morning! And then tomorrow after work, Im doing my roommate, Alex. Sooo, hopefully they're good enough that I can post them! But yeaahhh, just a little head's up!

More Videos.

Rilo. Kiley.

So those of you who know me well, probably already know I tend to exaggerate a little bit too much sometimes. But I use absolutely no exaggeration when I say that April 23, 2008 was probably the best night of my entire life. If you know me well, you will also know that Jenny Lewis is probably my biggest obsession as well. She is my music icon, and seeing as music consumes my life, that is a pretty big deal.

Anyway, Jenny Lewis is the lead singer of Rilo Kiley. She also sang in The Postal Service, for those who don't know who Rilo Kiley is. Wednesday night, Jon (who is also in love with Jenny Lewis) and I had the amazing opportunity of seeing Rilo Kiley in a tiny venue. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We waited for two hours in line to get front row, center and it definitely worked. Jon and I were RIGHT in the front and center. We were practically sitting on the stage, that's how close we were.

Along with Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis' best friend, Morgan's band played first: Whispertown2000. Also an INCREDIBLE band. They had a drummer who not only played in every band that evening, but also played guitar AND drums at the SAME TIME. It was phenomenal! Previous to Whispertown, an artist named Michael Runion played first. He was amazing as well. And all of the bands were friends, so it was awesome to see the connection between them and how they acted together. It was amazing!!!

Then...Jenny Lewis came on stage. And I cannot tell you the overwhelming state of happiness I felt once she started performing. She is absolutely incredible lived. And they played an AMAZING set with all of my favorite songs. For which I was able to grab the set list at the end. w00t! I took a bunch of videos that turned out awesome. I'll try to post them on here too. At one point in the concert, Jenny came and sat on the amp RIGHT next to me. I think that I almost died. And she looked at me and I completely forgot the lyrics. Ugh. It was amazing. She then even sang to Jon and WINKED at him!!! Lucky.

All in all, it was the best night of my life. It was great. The one thing missing was our chance to meet Jenny Lewis, but oh well. I guess you can't win em all. We did, however, get to talk to Morgan and Michael Runion and their band members at the merch desk after the show, so that was pretty cool.

Anyway, I'll post some videos and pictures of the blessed night later. Thanks for reading! Here's a video I would like to dedicate to Marci for right now. Since it's her favorite song :)

So the latest:

I'm sorry that I haven't posted at all in the last month! But to be honest, there is just nothing new in my life. Other than the fact that I am looking for another job. I desperately desperately need one so if anyone knows of any good openings let me know. I'm just not getting enough hours at my new job and it's miserable! So puhhh-leeeease!

Anyway, other than that, there's really nothing new. Other than my latest obsession with Gossip Girl and my EXCITING chance of going to California and seeing Rilo Kiley and visiting my grandma. It should be fun. Anyway...yeahhh, nothing new other than that.

Oh, and I have been quite obsessed with some new bands as of late. Some more than others, but I'll post them from most obsessed to not so much.

The Hush Sound- Goodbye Blues & all other albums
Panic at the Disco- Pretty Odd
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova- The Swell Season
