most of these speak for themselves....

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
~Mohandas K. Gandhi

Think about what impact each and everyone of us has on the enviroment. Yes it's depressing, overwhelming, and makes you want togive up - BUT- Every little bit counts, we have to TRY to make a difference. That's where WE start.

It wasn't the Exxon Valdez captain's driving that caused the Alaskan oil spill. It was yours. ~Greenpeace advertisement, New York Times, 25 February 1990

Unfortunately garbage doesn't pick itself up.



There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all. ~Robert Orben
In America today you can murder land for private profit. You can leave the corpse for all to see, and nobody calls the cops. ~Paul Brooks, The Pursuit of Wilderness, 1971

eco gift this.

Seriously I stumbled upon one of the most amazing sites whilst wandering the internet for gift ideas this morning! World of Good is a Co-Op site for selling hundreds of beautiful products, each one has a story about how it makes an positive impact on the world. Some are hand made by women in India that have been rescued from prostitution, others are simply made by recycled bottle or paper. It's seriously amazing! So far I've only made a small purchase of recycled wrapping paper, but ooh I have a wishlist already! Check it out here.

bahahaha...ha

baby justin [take one]

Justin is three weeks old today! He's just so cute! Jess + Jason were nice enough to let me practice my photography skills on him. I will admit trying snap photos of a little wiggly baby is tough, but fun, and he provided all sorts of entertainment as well! :)

a salt flat sunrise

Danielle and I decided that just for fun we wanted to get up and 4 am (drag Mike and Brandon out of bed), drive to the salt flats and watch the sunrise! It may sound a little crazy but we had seen pictures from a class we are taking and decided it would be worth it. It was AMAZING the views were incredible. We decided to make a tradition out of it, we're going to find beautiful places that we can go watch the sunrise and document it with photos. Nevermind that is was FREEZING cold, we just forgot because it was so beautiful! I also hearkened back to my Native American ancestors and danced a Sun Dance it was really quite rejuventating until I got distracted by the salt crystals below my feet and felt compelled to dip my finger in and lick it. It is called the 'Salt Flats' for a reason, and Mike is convinced I'm infected with some type of water born disease now. Neat. Danielleee made a great video with our pics, it's about ten minutes and totally worth the watch. Ch Ch Check it out. P.S. Because of the stupid blogger photo upload none of the photos are in order, but i guess you can kind of figure it out by the sun.

catchin' up

I've gotten caught up in all the political issues lately because they are really important to me. However I have been doing some other stuff lately so I thought it was time to catch up! Our friends Jess and Jason had a new baby boy! His name is Justin, and he has one of the cutest little dimples that I've ever seen!

I texted Jess at 8 AM and she said I could come visit but she was only dialated to a 4 so I figured 'man they've got plenty of time!' So I arrive at the hospital at 10:30 and when I walked in Jess's sister told me he had just arrived! Talk about perfect timing!

Mike went hunting for the weekend, so my sister and I took the 'FUN BUS' to Wendover for the night!

We had to kill some time so we ate a second dinner at 11PM and then walked the entire 'strip' back to Montego Bay.

This was supposed to be my stripper pose straddling the UT/NV border but, Jackie O got in the way.

We still had two hours before the bus came to take us home, but being the frugal gamblers that we are, we survived on $20 bucks between the two of us, ate two meals, and drank 'free' drinks all night! Never the less by midnight we were beat! But we made it until 2AM and rode the bus home!

This was just a pretty sunrise one morning!
