Two years ago today I married my best friend! Today we had a great, simple day at work and then at dinner. Craig was even willing to give up his favorite: sushi for I could go for a low cal option...an awesome salad from Hamilton's! (the type of sushi I like is dipped in tempura and fried, I'm passing on fried food for now. More to come about that story later)

I love you Craig! I've loved the last two years and really look forward to lots more!

Hello Friends!

I feel like every couple months I do one of these posts where I apologize for being a bad blogger for disappearing. I have been a better blogger at my photoblog and encourage you to check it out at www.belindaolsen.com. This summer I started pursing my own photography business. One of the things that I have wanted to do since I was in high school is to be a photographer for National Geographic. In the past I have often forgot how much I love photography. Well, I hate to break it to everyone but right now I am not shooting for NG, I photograph something else I really enjoy. PEOPLE. I love to work especially with babies, children and families. I love to capture people in a timeless way.

Everyone makes resolutions in January. One of mine is to have my camera with me more often! (I just have to wait until it comes back from its annual servicing with Nikon) This year I am going to push myself to feel comfortable in my own skin, try new techniques within my style, meet new people, and market a great photographer: Me!

Recently I was called to be the enrichment counselor in my relief society. For one of our enrichment activities we learned how to decorate cakes. I had a lot of fun! I can't believe how hard it is especially after our beautiful teacher Jocelyn Samuelson made it look E-A-S-Y! All growing up my mom made such fun cakes for birthdays and a special occasions. My favorite cake she made when I was in kindergarden and had the chicken pox. She made a cake that had chicken pox (red hots) all over!

I have disappeared from the blogging world for the last month or so. I've been feverishly working on my photography blog: www.belindaolsen.com. I love the way that it turned out! I've been working on transferring some images from here to there and I've loved the clients I've worked with. Now that is up and running........

we'll see. :-)

Here are just a few of the projects that I've been working on lately.

I have fallen in love with Anthropologie! I love this store and love it the most when they have S-A-L-E-S!  I have fallen in love with these jewelry pieces and am really excited for craft day next Saturday with my cousins to make jewelry and hair accessories.  If anyone has any great ideas, tips, places to pick up unique pieces, websites with instructions just leave me a comment with the address.
