Not to mention I have been spending some much needed time with Lisa which has been the best part of the Holidays. Well this Christmas Lisa and I decided to get back into some old hobbies and especially one that we both enjoy and can enjoy together. We each have our own likes, talents, hobbies, and ideas of fun and one of the greatest things about us is that we support each other in those areas and enjoy seeing each other succeed as well. Well now we decided to get back into snowboarding; something that I haven't done since my back surgery in 2007 and Lisa hasn't done since her last year in good old Alaska. Well we had our first night out together on the New Years Day night. Our singles ward had a pretty cool activity where if you didn't have gear to go skiing or snowboarding then they would rent it for you and also bought whoever wanted to go, night skiing passes at Brighton, dinner, and a good night rest at a cabin that they had for our use. Well Lisa and I took advantage of the free passes since we already had all of our gear and when we were done went and got a good first of the year prime rib dinner, and spent the night in the comfort of our own beds ha ha. Well I am super stoked to head up again this week (we are shooting for Thursday) and keep up and share this renewed hobby with the most beautiful girl in the world, my amazing girlfriend, Lisa... <br /><br />Until next time all! Have fun, a good first week of the new year and I will blog to you all soon!<br /></div>Ashton Steadmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313110916996929895noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720632230736046072.post-90175824073350562782009-12-15T21:55:00.000-08:002009-12-15T22:03:06.338-08:00Even now...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9oKDrsNmtQSOgiyH2rbFTNCStoOLA2-MRRG6DKQA5N7UcP4yrDEvdYHLT6IG1XTc-KRuxZ5TBCLH8XqwCHfocoFWgYFlRpi5bW9QmfrjFTtFznBwpT2E3lgGe3HCDtTplXfC_X4ZQmE4/s1600-h/IMG_1608.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9oKDrsNmtQSOgiyH2rbFTNCStoOLA2-MRRG6DKQA5N7UcP4yrDEvdYHLT6IG1XTc-KRuxZ5TBCLH8XqwCHfocoFWgYFlRpi5bW9QmfrjFTtFznBwpT2E3lgGe3HCDtTplXfC_X4ZQmE4/s400/IMG_1608.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415710540412688530" border="0" /></a>Even now I can smell the clothes<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Freshly from the wash<br />Still hot from the dryer<br /><br />Even now I can smell your skin<br />To wrap you in a towel<br />Lay you on the bed<br />And try to love you<br /><br />Even now I can feel your arms<br />I can feel your breast<br />I can hear your songs<br />And I always can find you again<br /><br />Even now I can feel your hand<br />Gently over mine<br />With almost no weight at all<br /><br />Even now I can feel your eyes<br />Watch me as I strum<br />Much too late at night<br /><br />Even now I can see you smile<br />I can hear you hum<br />I can hear you sing<br />And I always can find you again<br /><br />Even in the dark of night<br />Even in the lowest light<br />Even as the world outside<br />Is spinning, and spinning<br /><br />Even now I can feel your hair<br />Blow across my cheek<br />As we sit in one of two chairs<br /><br />Even now I can feel your face<br />Resting on my chest<br />Wrestling for sleep<br />And failing at it<br /><br />Even now I can see you sleep<br />I can see you dream<br />I can see you fly<br />And I always can find you again<br />And I always can find you again<br />And I always can find you again</div>Ashton Steadmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313110916996929895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720632230736046072.post-90121471553380221442009-12-07T22:17:00.000-08:002009-12-07T22:30:48.016-08:00Give me ten...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNIUFy-HJYCSC40q13VsWo1-57eOToLxfeUChQoEwuiER0njkfaXGlZ4J7rXgxO2_gFnzReX7ncgxabrSu2fdqzR_dZKwddUWK5AUdKyPSk8MBwmgiEtMNHKJX9oKPC-CCkheSw-mvbX4/s1600-h/IMG_1760.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNIUFy-HJYCSC40q13VsWo1-57eOToLxfeUChQoEwuiER0njkfaXGlZ4J7rXgxO2_gFnzReX7ncgxabrSu2fdqzR_dZKwddUWK5AUdKyPSk8MBwmgiEtMNHKJX9oKPC-CCkheSw-mvbX4/s400/IMG_1760.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412746384342868050" border="0" /></a>First things first...

I was missing Lisa all weekend as she headed down to Las Vegas for the weekend to be with some friends of hers and I am looking forward to coming back home and wish that she was coming back tomorrow. I at least carved a pumpkin last night and I decided to not go with the traditional Jack-o-lantern but instead I carved a tooth ha ha. Well I hope that you all had a fun, safe Halloween and that you were able to get out and do some trick or treating of your own. <br /></div>Ashton Steadmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313110916996929895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720632230736046072.post-26637550419673033452009-10-18T18:31:00.000-07:002009-10-18T20:33:09.380-07:00Be all you can be...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRPzT0OfH4jODNjd2QR29VBWt8Yo9VThoLsvvIpvVRlBDLxbGNes8KeKl5Eqx-rxmsQK4hsAqjcZ0ATV9Q-hx7fSI648bnxsJah2gYhU-IdoQnzsiq8GxNvUo_90hhSE-m_NnNvmZDsBk/s1600-h/IMG_1803.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRPzT0OfH4jODNjd2QR29VBWt8Yo9VThoLsvvIpvVRlBDLxbGNes8KeKl5Eqx-rxmsQK4hsAqjcZ0ATV9Q-hx7fSI648bnxsJah2gYhU-IdoQnzsiq8GxNvUo_90hhSE-m_NnNvmZDsBk/s400/IMG_1803.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394119856579835122" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Farewell to our good friend Brandon Smith. Last week was his last with us here in Utah. He has been a good teammate and an even better friend. Brandon has played on our softball team for the past five or so years and has become one of my very good friends and now he is off onto his next big adventure of joining the army, continuing onto ranger school and then pursuing his goal of becoming a seal. I'm sad to see him go but respect him so much for his goal and going through with it. To send him off we had a little going away party after our softball game with those of the team that could make it. Poker, x-box, jokes, and laughs were just about enough to keep us going and pull an all-nighter but most of us crashed at about four in the morning. Well Brandon, good luck and have fun my friend. I hope that all goes well for you and I hope to see you soon.<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrbd2Ul8VMolp0AxjOwU_vNDBGUAuOR4pzABrRCSFMN3OCu5iQKXaXnIqmGBWNH3_wBX8fHulawmv8VvFoheJfCzjIMfavfE4J44r0Q1j7xOYrAHy6C-Jq9J5XnloYCUWJjIAxzim8YhE/s1600-h/IMG_1806.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrbd2Ul8VMolp0AxjOwU_vNDBGUAuOR4pzABrRCSFMN3OCu5iQKXaXnIqmGBWNH3_wBX8fHulawmv8VvFoheJfCzjIMfavfE4J44r0Q1j7xOYrAHy6C-Jq9J5XnloYCUWJjIAxzim8YhE/s400/IMG_1806.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394119879027967554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQXsuj7TFMgg04Lv6-YtjQUmqV0GZ6KgBf6n3h1ITkRSJaU_mT8i7h3ipFZ3HTb5-gcvPwljw-heFJgrgcHjG0cRdBluMkJ7weDenZXC_loJ9OCAmrtcPKQMVcS0lxdisKn3dBV_0DEfY/s1600-h/IMG_1805.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQXsuj7TFMgg04Lv6-YtjQUmqV0GZ6KgBf6n3h1ITkRSJaU_mT8i7h3ipFZ3HTb5-gcvPwljw-heFJgrgcHjG0cRdBluMkJ7weDenZXC_loJ9OCAmrtcPKQMVcS0lxdisKn3dBV_0DEfY/s400/IMG_1805.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394119872053395266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvRw1oczDzrppM_FmZWi-kviar9OmObmqI9xIol8KCBzZC46-tmoPvTM3wXNMcT5fDvCo4dtMArZRzASmPS2Ua_w3oBPa9RGSYv10yMH2y4x84PQMZDk8b7H1_gv8b4mDocxJNcp8UpEo/s1600-h/IMG_1816.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvRw1oczDzrppM_FmZWi-kviar9OmObmqI9xIol8KCBzZC46-tmoPvTM3wXNMcT5fDvCo4dtMArZRzASmPS2Ua_w3oBPa9RGSYv10yMH2y4x84PQMZDk8b7H1_gv8b4mDocxJNcp8UpEo/s400/IMG_1816.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394119892178889362" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxhj8DOs5iMUb70AO26JJ9pXEsqzIg-qPP6WlXBllMOTioHDvB8FPqWqxoQtky61o_tqbWuRgYXQsNRbHAzIhRxVv1zU1nYVtzgb4qA1axWPRxTDBo2YhO59Krf0HsPi15n8mGU0G7Q4/s1600-h/IMG_1814.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxhj8DOs5iMUb70AO26JJ9pXEsqzIg-qPP6WlXBllMOTioHDvB8FPqWqxoQtky61o_tqbWuRgYXQsNRbHAzIhRxVv1zU1nYVtzgb4qA1axWPRxTDBo2YhO59Krf0HsPi15n8mGU0G7Q4/s400/IMG_1814.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394119887253900674" border="0" /></a>Ashton Steadmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313110916996929895noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720632230736046072.post-90791880853210085682009-10-11T21:33:00.000-07:002009-10-11T22:17:23.054-07:00The Canyon Breeze...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdNeHYfjOYaI0DGSn7NDwl2p0UtDtbB6wDnEJq-J3WHf9i3mOAUqHshTwZkJULiuUOh3Tn02nqsxLpjz6Ygsnulfs7Yp5OYa-zC-iin3Oi2F9IOyvuYaiHrGAxrBS_B7XKNMiB23j_gRc/s1600-h/IMG_1833.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdNeHYfjOYaI0DGSn7NDwl2p0UtDtbB6wDnEJq-J3WHf9i3mOAUqHshTwZkJULiuUOh3Tn02nqsxLpjz6Ygsnulfs7Yp5OYa-zC-iin3Oi2F9IOyvuYaiHrGAxrBS_B7XKNMiB23j_gRc/s400/IMG_1833.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391568465688405794" border="0" /></a>This last weekend seemed like it passed just way to fast... I was really stoked to have a long weekend, seeing that I had the day off of work on Friday, and I also don't have any class on Fridays either. Well As fast as it came, it left again. Friday I had a fun day planned out for Lisa and I but an unfortunate turn of events made Us alter our plans and not accomplish the list activities that we were both looking forward too. Saturday came and resolved not to let the same thing happen, Lisa and I got going for the day, packed up our digital cameras, our old 110 film intamatic, our old Polaroid( yes, we have both, both function great, and they are fun to play with to get that older vintage look. Think back on your child hood and think of all the great moments captured with those types of cameras...) and headed up American Fork Canyon so that she could take some pictures and experience the changing of the leaves for the first time. The weather was great, and although we missed the prime leaves by a couple of weeks, we still had a fun time, a beautiful drive, and took a lot of pictures. This first one is one that we took in a little creek that we found after passing the summit and starting our decent down into Midway. For putting the camera on self timer and having to run over to get in the picture and try and manage not to fall in the creek that we were standing in, I think that it turned out quite nice. The next picture wasn't so tricky but the tree was an awesome flaming red and orange and this picture doesn't quite do it justice. The following two I just love of Lisa because it is her in her element doing what she loves to do, I also think that they just look really cool with her facing the whole canyon. How lucky I am to have such a beautiful place in my own backyard and I am even luckier to have and even more beautiful girlfriend to go out and experience and share it all with.

I really do appreciate it. I have to thank especially Lisa for making it such a great weekend. The picture above is us at the State fair on Saturday, it was a fun day. We started off by <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">reminiscing</span>, about being young by going up to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Farmington</span> and watching the little league team that my Dentist coaches play in a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">nostalgic</span> Saturday morning football game. We then came home for a few and spent a little time with my parents and my little nephew Priest who kept us <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">entertained</span>. We than got everything together and headed over to the Salt Lake Greek festival where we met up with a few friends, and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">enjoyed</span>, gyros, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">souvlaki</span>, fresh feta cheese, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Greek</span> olives, and finished it all of with a box of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Loukoumades</span>. We then wasted no time and headed over to the State fair where we spent the rest of the afternoon looking at animals, soft serve ice cream ;), shops, art work, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">gimmicky</span> attractions, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">midway</span>, rides, and also the shortest women in the world! We had a great time... Lisa decided that wasn't enough and topped off the evening by surprising me with fantastic unexpected birthday presents, and of coarse a fantastic sushi dinner; something that we both love. Lucky me is right, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about it and thank Lisa for it. I have so much fun with her and she makes me so happy, it is almost unbelievable. I hope that everyone has a great week and when the time comes for you, a great birthday and that you can share it with someone that treats you as well as Lisa treats me. </span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" >"Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with."<br /><i> - Mark Twain </i></span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times;"><b></b></span></div>Ashton Steadmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313110916996929895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720632230736046072.post-62042226765872628132009-09-09T16:13:00.001-07:002009-09-09T16:22:46.056-07:00Ten things that are on my mind...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5oFG1189W2L92pAg-ppEEbdWUHwk9-ctdtC0-k_bnH3Vxx70EB0RqI0XOOqxiiCeLpVYa5pSG1Fs0aAsmZ5gWA1mUUqhkraXrRUNAfAIGYnR-Sm9KzADKf3AvghtCi5HW0tJ_QrkIxsw/s1600-h/photos_sports_youth-football001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5oFG1189W2L92pAg-ppEEbdWUHwk9-ctdtC0-k_bnH3Vxx70EB0RqI0XOOqxiiCeLpVYa5pSG1Fs0aAsmZ5gWA1mUUqhkraXrRUNAfAIGYnR-Sm9KzADKf3AvghtCi5HW0tJ_QrkIxsw/s400/photos_sports_youth-football001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379609863201638642" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. </span>Mild fall days<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.</span> Saturday morning little league and college football games<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3.</span>Haunted Houses<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4.</span> Stupid questions asked by people in Chemistry class<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span>Constantly taking self pics with Lisa even though we have both said that we we need to stop taking those and take more real pictures so that you can actually see the background.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. </span>Apps on the iPhone<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7.</span> Afternoon lunch dates with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Fav</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8.</span> Dental school<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">9. </span>Gummy Candies<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10.</span> And last but not least my birthday ha ha<br /></div>Ashton Steadmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313110916996929895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720632230736046072.post-28501456104293290712009-09-07T21:50:00.000-07:002009-09-07T22:21:36.925-07:00My Birthday Week...Well seeing that it is my birthday Week this week I decided to assume the role of copy-cat and follow the example of Lisa and take a moment to post a few things that are on my Birthday wish list.

I have been just crazy busy with work, finishing up summer school and getting started with this fall semester. Lisa and I had such a fun and amazing summer and there are so many things that I didn't even get to blog about; fairs, trips so California, Puerto Rico, Parties, and family get togethers. This is for real, one of the most fun summers that I have had and I owe a lot of that to my sidekick Lisa. The first pic on here was taken in Puerto Rico after having gone on a kayak ride out to the Biolumenecant bays in Esperanza. It was amazing! The second pic is me out in the middle of the ocean on a scuba trip! Well I would love to right more and I soon will hopefully recaping a lot of the past few months, but now I have to get to bed for tomorrow we are headed up to the Mountain man rendezvous in Fort Bridger Wyoming. Until then have a good night and great labor day weekend.Ashton Steadmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313110916996929895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720632230736046072.post-62867549459149937542009-08-20T16:30:00.001-07:002009-08-20T16:30:42.141-07:00I would love to write a big long blog tonight but what more can be said?...
