Oh, hello world wide web... It's been a while!

Well,  being as the last time I wrote on here was in January it appears as though I have miserably failed at keeping this blog current doesn't it? With the craziness of planning a wedding in about 5 1/2 months after I became engaged in February, I just didn't keep with my original intention to write on this. But now that I'm married... (MARRIED! Crazy, just crazy! In the most absolutely wonderful way, that is.) I feel like it would be a good time to restart this and channel all of my thoughts into a creative outlet.

I don't know what this blog will encompass, but here goes nothing! Let's buckle up and enjoy the ride folks!

It's good to be back!

"Snowpocalypse '11..."

For about, oh... three hours. At least thats what was all over facebook last night :) Having lived in Eastern Washington for a few years, this "snowpocalypse" was very short lived. However Ryan decided that Maia and Zahra (our cats) should enjoy it before it vanishes into thin air... er... or is rained into oblivion.

Here is the photographic evidence:

Ryan with the girls. Maia and Zahra were actually pretty pleased in the snow

Keeping a tight grip on them so they don't escape :)

Warming up from the snow... "let me tell you a secret, sis."

And then I woke up at 6:45 am this morning... and alas there was only slush. Farewell snow.

Hi, my name is Shelby... and I'm new here.

I finally did it. I broke down and got a blog. Please, be gentle! :) I'm sure there will be much more to come! 


Also, I should probably explain what the web address/name of my blog means shouldn't I? Well, trying to be creative, I selected latin words. So roughly it means live, love, laugh. Or vivo, amor, risus. When you type it into google translate as "vivo amor risus"it translates as "I live by the love of laughter." I meant it to be simply "live love laugh" as a web address name really, but I actually like google translates version. Because there is life where there is love, and there is most certainly laughter where there is love. And what is life with out some giggles along the way?


For now... Ciao darlings!
Shelby
