I've been meaning to make one of these

So I've been meaning to make one of these for awhile now and I finally got to it. Since this is my first post I guess ill explain myself. I'm Shelby, I'm from AZ, I was born in Utah and miss it a lot. I'm a photographer, and I skateboard and ride scooters. I made one of these blog's just to kinda blog about what I do during this point of my life, so in a few years I can look back at this and see what I was like. I guess I'll post some stuff that's happen over the past 2 months and I'll post a new blog every week after this one.



So these past 2 months I've made a really big change in my life. Ever since the beginning of this school year I was thinking a lot about my faith and I was really confused about a lot of it, and on September 12th, 2008 I was saved and now I live my life for God. Proverbs 3:5-6 (5)"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding." (6)"Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you what path to take." Those verses made me understand that God has a path for me and I should follow it. I've been through a lot of crap for years and now I really do understand a lot of things I didn't back then.

I was in my first car accident on August 28th, 2008, on the 101 north in Chandler, AZ, I rear ended a Xtrea and they didn't even take my information they just told me to not worry about it and they dipped. I didn't have to make an insurance claim and I didn't get a ticket either. It costed my dad $2300 to fix my car.

Those 2 events were probably the only big one's I had happen these past 2 months.

I went to Tucson for my first skate trip too with Jonny, Stephen and Sergio. It was fun.

So last weekend was pretty sick, on Saturday, Stephen, Zac, Sergio, Caleb and I made a day trip down to Tucson. It was really fun, we went to a lot of spots and got some footage and photos.

Then on friday I had a half day and it was the start to Fall Break, so Eric, Stephen, Nick and I had a nice session at Tempe then went and watched 3 amazing skate videos at Stephen's then had a nice little Alma School banks session then Me and Eric went to Tempe and skated with Dfed for a bit then went to Dane's for a flat bar session and made a montage. Then after that I had a nice little late night session with Stephen, Nick and Sergio.

On Saturday, we decided to go to Tucson again like seriously it was probably one of the biggest last mintue sessions ever, I found out about it at midnight, asked Twan if he wanted to go at like midnight then the next morning, Alex happen to be on AIM when I woke up and I asked if he wanted to go, it was very last min. So Alex, Twan and I drove down to Tucson and met up with Stephen, Zac, Ryan and Caleb and we skated/scootered, City Hall, Colored Ledges, quarter pipe in a ditch and Super Ditch. Twan threw down, he did the 11 stair handrail at City Hall, flaired the quarter pipe in the ditch, then died at Super Ditch, it made my day I'm not going to lie lol.
