Chic Critique Cover Contest Entry

Because why not? Why not enter the Chic Critique Cover Contest? I mean, I only just found out about it today and the deadline is midnight tonight...why not? Now that I'm subscribed to their newsletter and "like"ing them on Facebook I might actually find out about the next one earlier to submit another image! 

There are some pretty  images over there. Here's my entry and the model is my lovely sister in law: 

I've been a really lousy blogger lately. I'll come back soon. For real. 

Snowy Days

There aren't very many snowy days in Missouri. I miss the Utah snow! Mostly just for a minute, then I don't miss it anymore. It's just so gorgeous to look at! 

So I wanted to start taking pics of people more right? I asked (made?) my husband come outside in our latest snowstorm so I could take some pics of him to practice some aperture mode. 

He hates snow/cold/winter/anything to do with winter. Except for maybe Christmas. So this is like, a really big deal. Here's my favorite picture:

He *wanted* that picture taken. It is not my fault that it is now all over the internet. I also love the second one:

Here he is walking into Narnia (aka our backyard). 

Best husband. Oh, and here's a picture of Mossberg for good measure.
