13 Thousand Words: It's Easier This Way

Cassie and Jason, Jaclyn, Holli, Erin and Harrison, and I went to the Draper Temple open house. It was really cool.
My friend Brock got his braces off. So he had a party, and we ate corn on the cob, chips, and other chewy things.
This is me with Cassie and Jason waiting in one of the Draper churches to ride the bus up to the temple. I kinda have a strained smile, but I was practically lying on Cassie's lap. And after the open house, Jaclyn and I and the couples went to Cafe Rio.
My first book. This one has coptic binding. I made everything and even painted the paper for the covers. Of course, I can see all the faults, but I wont point them out. On the whole, I'm happy with my first one.
Back cover.
The good things about this type of binding is that it inflates the spine so that there is a lot of room to add things to the book later. I think I might use this one as a photo album.
The spine; the most important part of the book.
Inside cover.
Front.
And now for the virtual tour--this is the living room. You can see our fish, mine's the one on the far left. You can't tell in the picture but he's purple.
Looking into the living room from the kitchen.
Other side of the living room--where I spend my time doing homework.
And for the grand finale: the kitchen! Look at that stove. The door in the back leads to our "hallway," "vanity," and bedrooms. Well, that's the tour. I hope you like it--it's kinda like my own little hobbit hole.

Hmm--if you'd taken book binding a couple of years ago, Caleb's sister might have been teaching you. That's awesome that you learned that. And I'm glad you got to go to the open house. And I had a Braces Off Party back in my day, too! I wonder if his was close to my anniversary. :-) Thanks for the updates. It's always nice to see what you're up to.

Thanks for the blog and pictures. I hate to admit this but I remember when everyone's stove looked like that! LOL. Anyway, its a very cute apt. and it fits your personality. The book is cool and it looks like it would make a perfect photo album. ~ I miss you.
