Here are the rest of my pics of my sweet Olly. These were all taken with my camera phone, so they aren’t such great quality. I plan on taking better ones in a few days with my nice camera, once he feels more settled and used to my touch. He’s so cute, ain’t he?

On December 11th, 2008 I found my new little baby at PetSmart in Orem, UT. He is such a cutie and so incredibly soft! His fur will change color with the seasons. Well, I got him home and him settled into his new home and emailed my family asking for suggestions of names. I found them to be creative and some hilarious and I want to post them on here for all to read.

Hamster name suggestions:
chipmunk
food
rosie bosie
byu cougars
happy face
junior high school
Griffin
Squirrel
heart bowl
computer head
tape
bc
Able
To You
head bowl
foo-foo
fluffy
ralph
dale
fuzz
fuzzy
hambone
Sleepy
Dopey
Doc
Sneezy
Snowball
Hammy

The age range of the name suggestions was from about 64 years old to about 4 years old and everything in between. Some of my favorites were “rosie bosie,” “heart bowl” and “Snowball.”

In the end, I chose a name for my beautiful hamster that kept coming to mind over and over. His name is officially Olly. I have always liked the movie A Lot Like Love, where Ashton Kutcher’s character’s name is Oliver and they shorten it to Ollie sometimes throughout the movie. I don’t know why that name stuck, but it sure did. So Olly it is.

And here is my baby:

Alright, so I went with the fam to San Francisco this past Christmas. And I still haven’t uploaded pictures yet. I ended up taking about 300 just in SF and of Alcatraz! They turned out pretty, some of them. It was really neat to go to Alcatraz, this old island that used to house some of the biggest criminals. The buildings all seem worn out and ragged but the best part of the island is that there is beautiful plant life growing all around the treacherous buildings! I was so amazed by how beautiful some of the plants and flowers were there. They were among ruins and rubble but yet they grew proud, right in the middle of the damage. Those photos ended up being my favorite ones from the trip, so I’ll post those on here for you to see. It was really great to be with family, all my nieces and nephews! I have so many now, and the numbers are still growing. I’m very fortunate to have such a great family. They know how to give and how to love unconditionally. I don’t acknowledge that enough.

Anyway, here are some photos from our trip. Hope you enjoy.

So at work, we’ve been researching 100s of social media sites and I found this site to be pretty fun. It’s called SpinSnap and it’s similar to StumbleUpon but just a bit different.

Also, what’s REALLY cool about this site… is that it was created by the visual and fantastic genius mind of Jen Harland, whom I went to high school with!
