All For Some Pictures...

On Sunday I wore a new dress that I got for Christmas and Ryan was wearing a new pretty tie that he got and they happened to match and look really good together so I suggested we go take some pictures. We had heard about an amphitheater up behind the Utah State Hospital here in Provo that was supposed to be really pretty for taking pictures so we decided to take a look. We looked up the place on google maps using satellite view to try and figure out where it was. Then we drove up to where it was supposed to be but the road was blocked off so we had to get out and walk. There was snow and ice all over the place and we were dressed in our nice clothes, plus I'm a little less graceful than I used to be and am prone to slipping. Finally we found the amphitheater and made our way up the treacherous ice covered steps to the top and found a good place to take a picture.

We pulled out the camera and tripod and started setting up to take the pictures. Turns out there was no memory card in the camera. Since we had just spent the last 30 minutes looking for the place and then hiking up through the snow we were determined to take the pictures, so Ryan ran back to the apartment while I waited for him at the amphitheater. When he got back we put the memory card in and got all posed and started taking pictures and the low battery alert flashed. We had to take a few good pictures as fast as possible. It was quite the adventure and very frustrating at first, but then it was just funny, and I think we got some good pictures so it's okay.

This one almost makes it look like it's warm outside and we're not freezing.

But you can see all the ice and snow in this one.

And here is a cute belly picture of me.

I think Ryan will cringe every time I ask to take pictures now. But at least we'll probably remember to check for the memory card and batteries.
