We’ve been jipped the last few winters in terms of snow so I for one have enjoyed the above average amount of snow we’ve received this winter. While our measly 4″ at a time may seem pretty weak compared to many parts of the country, here it’s enough to nearly paralyze civilization and empty the shelves of every Wal-Mart in the process.
Here are a few recent snow pics I’ve taken…
This past weekend we changed things up in the house a bit. Thanks to some help from the moms we tackled this project in just a few hours!
Sometimes the process of painting isn’t very fun, but it is pretty cool being able to completely change the feel of a room in such a short period of time.

It has to do with your inner motivations. Not what you do or how you act, but what motivates you to do so. Apparently I am primarily motivated by a need to be having fun in life. Which I find fairly interesting because many of my YELLOW traits are in direct conflict with my WHITE traits. Guess that explains why I am the way I am.

Here is a condensed version of my personality, though like I said I think I’m just as much WHITE so I am not quite as simple as a single color.
Yellows are motivated by Fun. They are inviting and embrace life as a party that they’re hosting. They love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable. They are highly persuasive and seek instant gratification. yellows need to be adored and praised. While yellows are carefree, they are sensitive and highly alert to others’ agendas to control them. Yellows typically carry within themselves the gift of a good heart
Yellows need to look good socially, and friendships command a high priority in their lives. yellows are happy, articulate, engaging of others and crave adventure. Easily distracted, they can never sit still for long. They embrace each day in the “present tense” and choose people who, like themselves, enjoy a curious nature. Yellows are charismatic, spontaneous, and positive; but can also be irresponsible, obnoxious, and forgetful. When you deal with a YELLOW, take a positive, upbeat approach and promote light-hearted, creative, and fun interactions.
I should also point out that the report says “The combination of yellow and white is the most well-liked and personable of all personalities…” Go me!
Contrary to popular believe I am not dead, nor is this website. I’ve just been busy and like any habit, once you get out of it, it can be hard to get back. Regardless, I’m going to start off 2010 with a random assortment of photos documenting 2009. Enjoy!
Saturday I went hiking with Matt and my cousin Logan. We decided to try and locate the natural bridge in the Mark Twain Natl Forest. If you read this blog regularly you may remember last winter when Matt and I tried to find this without success. This time I came prepared with gps coordinates and a detailed topo map of the area. The natural bridge has no trails leading to it and there are no signs. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s indicated on some topo maps no one would probably know it existed at all. It seems strange that something so big would be hard to find but in the maze of steep hillsides and trees you really don’t even notice the entrance until you are practically right on top of it. Luckily this time the maps and gps allowed us to find this hidden splendor. Click photos for larger versions…
It’s a lot larger than it looks in the photo.
Note how small Matt is in this photo.
We stopped for a sack lunch inside the cave. Again, this photo makes it look deceptively small.
