Vacation Videos

Here are a couple of videos from our trip to Sunriver that I thought would be fun to share with you!

The first one shows a family of deer (a mom and her two fawns). So adorable! The home they are walking by is the house next to the one we were renting. In the first half of the video, they are way in the back, and you can kind of see the mother's silhouette. They come into the sunshine towards the end of the clip.




I hope it's OK with my family that I share this next video! =) I'll have to let them know I put it on here (but hey, if you listen all the way through, you'll know that I warned them!). Anyway, my goal with this video was to let ya'll walk with me along part of the rim of Lava Butte (located between Sunriver and Bend, Oregon--about 5,020 feet tall at the highest point, if I remember correctly).

While I hope you enjoy the sights, I also hope you aren't too annoyed by the sound quality! I actually "filmed" both of these videos (above and below) on my iPod! Isn't that cool?

And my family is too cute in this clip! My mom was teasing my dad about his "obsession" with picture-taking, so she kept asking him to pose for pictures! Too fun--enjoy!

A Conglomeration of Information

According to one definition from Dictionary.com, conglomeration means: "An accumulation of miscellaneous things." I was at a loss as to what to post today (I think I'm getting too excited about another themed week!), so I hope you don't mind the clutter!

So, in no particular order, here are my thoughts:

• This weekend is going to be so much fun! For my blog, I'll be announcing the winner of the Walmart gift card, and I'll be announcing the theme for next week's posts (there's still time to vote on the poll in the sidebar!). Yay! As for me personally, I'm happy because a dear friend is visiting this weekend, and I'll get to go to my sister's choir concerts and her school's auction. It will be rather bittersweet, however, because I was in that choir for three years before I went to college, and my sister's school is my old elementary/middle school. But I know it will be great to see everyone again, and I know the music will be beautiful at the concert!

• My dad recently gave me an iPod Touch, which holds 8 GB. My other iPod held 2 GB, which means that I now have an iPod with video capability! Woohoo!

• Along with that last note, I recently completed one of my albums from iTunes, called Nickel Creek (by a group of the same name). My roommate this last year had brought this CD to our dorm to let me listen to it for a while, and I loved it so much! Would you mind if I share a song from the CD that I found on You Tube?

• Also, I bought an audiobook on iTunes that I'm planning on giving a whirl this summer. The book is Forevermore by Cathy Marie Hake. I'll plan on posting a review, just as a heads up!

• My mom got me a new pair of sunglasses yesterday, which I adore. Yay for summer sunshine that creates a "need" for sunglasses! :)

• Oh dear . . . I really need to stop buying stuff! Please, do not follow my example that I set forth in the last three bullet points!

Well, I suppose I should stop now. I am a big fan of organization, so I'll try not to do messy lists like this very often! Thanks for taking the time to read this, and remember to stop by again soon for some exciting stuff!
