"Were you meant to be with him"

 

August 30, 2011

And then sometimes one of your good friends has a layover at the airport you live by and you get to see each other in all your matching hairstyle splendors. My goodness, we will never quit doing that I don't think. It's definitely not the first time it's happened. And won't be the last, that's for sure. 

Today was a grand day, I got up super early and went to the airport where I had a nice little chat with miss Julia Cannon then after I got her safely through security I stood around and waited with all the families that had missionaries coming home today, there was at least ten or twelve and the best one was the elder that was full on bawling as he was coming down the escalator then stopped at the bottom, dropped his bags and his mom ran to hug him. It was so sweet and everyone was tearing up. there was at least 60 people there waiting and the happy individually families shouting as they caught sight of their missionaries was so great. I know it's silly that I waited around, but I'm a sucker for happy moments. 

I went home for a few moments then headed to the chiropractor haha he's a super nice guy and I've definitely noticed a difference since the first visit. That's what nearly a month of travel will do to you haha 

And I managed to do some shopping to buy a new top for my interview tomorrow. Then went to see "One day" by myself. which for the record it's a strange experience, but I guess I've got to get used to changing a few things and trying new stuff on my own. After all that's what this whole moving out garbage is about, right? Well here goes nothing. The day ended with me sobbing uncontrollably in my grandpas truck because sadly, I've been a bit of an emotional wreck since I have been stuck in a rut. 

It'll look better tomorrow.

Don't tell me I can't, I'll have to prove you wrong.

 

August 29, 2011

Today is miss Brittany Fishbacks birthday :) I can't believe that everyone I grew up with is turning 19, that's nuts! and soon enough it'll be me. 

Today was a good day. I woke about two hours before I have been which is really good because I need to get back on a normal schedule. I messed around on my laptop then had a rather lengthy conversation with a lifelong friend then decided to go for a walk to ease myself back into working out. And to see if I can work out in this heat. Man, it's insane. 3 miles later and I was dying from the heat because being the genius that I am, I left my water bottle at home, tomorrow I'll do better. 

Also about tomorrow!!! Miss Julia Cannon has a 2 ish hour layover here so I'm going to see her!!! :) I'm so excited!!!!!!!! Words can't even describe. Oh it'll be fantastic :) I'm going to get good and hugged :) 

haha I was talking to my mom on the phone yesterday and she mentioned that they might like to come down here for christmas instead of the girls all coming home and I had a minor meltdown on the phone. My heart automatically dropped and I started thinking about all the people I've already planned on seeing at that time and got really freaked out. So today I posted on her Facebook the 20 reasons why I needed to come home at Christmastime. Hopefully it works because I'd be truly heartbroken if I didn't get to go home. oh goodness. 

I've got big plans to hang out with my dog and see Christina and Pat and Cw and Julia and Rachel and Jen if they're all home. I can't even think about not going back.

I see Julia first thing in the morning so I'd better get some sleep while I can :)

I wish I could hate her...

 

August 28, 2011

Today was grand. 

It started out rough and I didn't go to church because of stupid allergies. They are really taking their toll on me. and I finally meandered downstairs and watched a bit of T.V. with my grandparents then a giant thunderstorm came and I spent a good hour just sitting on the porch enjoying the thrills of lightning flashing across the sky while the thunder cracked directly over the house. It was quite something. and I got my first lightning photos. Whoo hoo! I think the middle one is my favorite. 

Tomorrow I've got big plans to apply for a few more jobs, call my cousin and work out. It's going to be a good start to the week!

I've got to rant for just one sec, my very dear friend has this girlfriend that I happen to be more than a little jealous of, and I want to hate her, I really do, but dang it she's so gorgeous and nice that I can't. ugh. it's a dilemma to be sure. Oh well, that's one of the good things about living thousands of miles away. 

I just want to be OK today

 

August 27, 2011

I didn't go to sleep again last night, It seems to be a habit and one that I've got to break soon or I'm going to be in limbo forever. 

This is a lovely twin that is related to me somehow haha I don't even know how, but aint she cute? She was coming back to aunt Gina to get cheetos, just one at a time, it was so funny. 

After the twins birthday party we went to Idaho and got lottery tickets, then stopped at pepperidge farms thrift shop. YUM. 

Then I went to dinner with miss Andria Vinzant and her momma. She turned 19 today. whoo! Then I went with them to go check out her dorm so I know how to get back there when I come to visit her :) I'm so glad to have a friend there. 

We stopped and saw aunt Pattis new place on the way home and they were having some big hoopla about UFC fights. 

Then I got to go shopping for things I'd put off for far too long. Like workout clothes, I'm determined now. to do something, anything will be more than I've been doing.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.

 

August 26, 2011

My grandma Michele is going to surely come across the hall and murder me when she sees the lovely photo I have uploaded of her : ) I love it! Also if you've never been to the party stores they've got around here then you need to go because oh my goodness they are so fun! Apparently flags make good gifts because look at how many there are. 

Today was a good day. Me and Michele went to Hobby Lobby and started picking out a gift for miss Andria VinZant that I get to go see in Logan tomorrow for her birthday. I'm so excited to see her! I never really said goodbye because our lives were on such different schedules at that point and here she is now just a little under two hours drive from me. I'm so thrilled! I got her the best present and I'll post pictures tomorrow. It's a giant basket that I filled with snack foods because she said she didn't have any. It looks pretty good if I do say so myself. :) 

We got our toes done tonight again and My feet already feel so much better. I should get some sleep though because we're leaving pretty early tomorrow and I've got to look presentable. haha I'm so excited to see a friend!

Nessun Dorma

 

August 25, 2011

Today the Alaska State fair started. Today I also went to the chiropractor.

YUP!

Sometimes that's all I feel like writing because those may be the only noteworthy things about my day, I also watched a whole bunch of episodes of friends and watched stupid T.V. with my grandparents. 

I talked to my mom on the phone while she drove to the fair. I wish I was there. SO BADLY. What continues to blow my mind is how many people I knew that didn't go to the fair. What are you people thinking? I'd do a whole number of things in order to be able to go there. Go, enjoy, eat all the lovely food and stop by my parent's booth to say hey.

I think I've really lost it now. 

Alright I'm going to bed. Goodnight.

Sometimes I just say things that don't make sense.

 

August 24, 2011

I found a coffee shop that wasn't starbucks, finally. You know, the wafting smell of coffee and memories just come flooding back in and it was happy. Makes me miss Pandemonium like crazy, and those Friday nights of open mic and just spending time with everyone that I cared for. It was so much fun and lots of silly moments and photos were started there. Christmas moments and such, good times. 

Well I didn't sleep last night and it's nearly 3 pm and I'm planning on hopping in the shower soon then getting more stuff done. I drove my grandpas truck home from holladay and have watched a whole lot of friends, and did a little cleaning and stuff. I've got more to get finished though and this really isn't helping with the whole making progress and moving on with life. 

So anyway. I'm off to get things accomplished. 

Adios.

Fin!

 

August 23, 2011

Today was a good day. 

I made a new addition to my mirror which I kind of love. I went over to Rachaels to help out by stuffing envelopes and met some more of her family. I'm super excited for them! and it's in less than a month! and my sisters will be here soonish, just after the fairs over. hooray! Anyhoo, that's all. 

This one time, at band camp.

 

August 22, 2011

This is adorable little ceramic figure on a shelf in my room. Constantly reminding me of the hear no, speak no, see no evil. I just think it's cute. 

I didn't sleep last night, and much of this morning was spent on a random cleaning binge then I finally passed out around 1 pm. Oh goodness, I really have got to work on the sleep thing, at least I am sleeping sometime. I'll get it under control. I will. 

I have been having some of the strangest dreams so I started my own little dream diary so I can remember these hilarious confusing happenstances years from now. I encourage everyone to do it, it's quite hilarious to read back on. 

I'm going back to bed. such is life.

Remember when

 

August 21, 2011

Oh this day was beautiful. Also, I love temples! I went to church and it was a basically regular day as far as that's concerned. I don't think I had a personal conversation with anyone though, man I don't think I'll ever get used to that. I was sitting in sacrament meeting wondering about the people surrounding me and it made me think of home because me and my mom always do that. We'd sit in the back and try to figure out who was related to who and who was visiting, it was always fun and I knew everybody. 

After church I babysat for some Alaska friends. Jen VanAusdals litttle sister's children. The resemblance between her and Jen was astounding and it got me to thinking of my freshman year when she passed away. Some people just stick with you and although heaven forbid I would like her as a science teacher, she was a wonderful person and outgoing in every way of life. At church as a kid I would call her sister Happy because she was always so outgoing and exuberant. 

Anyway, after I finished babysitting I had some extra time so I wandered over to the temple, which took all of ten minutes. I hope I never get used to that, I love it so much that there are so many within a stones throw of my house. At home it took and hour on a good day to travel to the temple which don't get me wrong was wonderful and fun and I went on some of the most special temple trips with some of the most amazing people and the hour to and from added to it exponentially. 

I had a wonderful telephone conversation with my mother, which ended in me sobbing uncontrollably, but I think it's time I stopped trying to deny how homesick I am. I have many opportunities here, I've just got to get me and God on the same page and figure things out. 

Low point

 

August 20, 2011

I have got to figure out this sleep schedule because mine is seriously screwed up. 

We went to dinner at Micheles dads like they do every week and I felt bad because I think I've got allergies and it's  messing with my brain. the constant congestion and general blurriness isn't fun. 

On the other hand there was a breathtaking rainstorm complete with sun in the distance and rainbows all over the place. It was so beautiful to drive home in that. 

Quotes for today

 

August 19, 2011

I love this quote because a lot of the time, that's what photography is. Being able to see something and capture it through a lens that normally people wouldn't look at a second time. 

I had a much better day, Without meaning to I stumbled upon the LDS employment office (everytime I type LDS the auto correct tries to change it to LSD...) Which I know wasn't because of anything I'd done. God just gives us little presents like that sometimes. Well I got all set up there and got a whole lot more work to do for tomorrow and sent my resume to a few more places. One of these days someone is bound to call me back.

I know it's silly, but I watched americas next top model a bit today because I am just so fascinated by how many splendid photographers they have working for them and how they virtually pull amazing pictures out of thin air. I'm not saying I'd like to be a fashion designer, but I definitely got a whole bunch of great ideas for future shoots. Now all I need is some friends to photograph. Easier said than done I'm afraid, although a portfolio is the first thing I need. This is going to be fun to pursue my dream. 

Also Rachael Snow (soon to be Eggett!!!!) is a wonderful person and I love her so so much!

Garden gnome for your thoughts?

 

August 18, 2011

Well today was a basically blah day added to by the fact that we don't have Italian seasoning so I had to mix some up with the seasonings we do have. Also I burnt my finger on the stove. And I didn't accomplish anything other than wasting more money and making garlic bread. 

Although I had a rather fantastic skype encounter with a rather dear friend of mine that completely lifted my spirits. 

I love garden gnomes and it seems that everyone in my family has gotten the memo because they have them at all their houses : ) they are just silly and happy little statues. 

Tomorrow will be a better day. I can feel it!

Goodbye my almost lover

 

August 17, 2011

Yesterday was my parents wedding anniversary as you can see somewhat on my calendar here.. haha 

My mother made me this wonderful calendar like she does for all the family every 3 years, I've seen them in everyone's homes. I'm not sure what we'll do if she ever decides to stop doing it. I finally knew I was an adult when I got my very own calendar :) I love my wonderful mother! 

I went out to dinner at olive garden with Gina and Michele tonight, it was such fun! then we went to the hobby lobby which is like JoAnns fabrics, only about 10 times bigger and a thousand times better! I will definitely be heading back that way sometime soon just so I can feel a bit more creative than I have been lately. It's wonderful. Also hanging out with Gina and Michele is my favorite thing to do here. 

I'm working my way through watching all the series of friends and it's pretty much fantastic, I love that show. 

I feel like I'm ranting again, I've just got to find a perfect place to photograph people then I'll be in business once I meet someone who is willing to model for me. That just sounds strange. Anyway I should sleep. 

Goodnight world, I'm doing just fine. and I'll bet if I tell myself that enough times, even I'll believe it.

I'm not sure what's wrong with you, but I hope it's not catching

 

August 16.2011

Today was a day where I got to drive my dad's parents to Logan home from the hospital. Luckily I got to visit my favorite temple. Also this month might just be temple month for me, there are so many around here. It's a little surreal, I've got to find out which one is mine so I can go do baptisms. SOON! 

I like this photo because of the dragonfly, it was sort of an accident, but turned out pretty well. 

I had a long day, but I jammed out to all kinds of songs all the way back and successfully drove to Logan for the first time, I mean I've been there before, but I drove this time and had two crazy elderly people who hadn't a clue how to get where we needed to go in the car with me, it was an adventure. I'll never get used to the roads around here, you'll be driving through a neighborhood then all of the sudden you're at a highway. BAM! I guess I'm just a little bit too small town for this yet, I'll get used to it. 

Nonsensical is a fun word.

I'll post the picture tomorrow, I just feel like writing.
I'd like to travel, all over. More than anything I'd like to go to Venice, Italy. Closely followed by Rome and then who knows where else. I just want to get out and see new things, That's what I was aspiring to do this summer with my mom. That's what I had planned to do with Kelsey. New places and things that are different from what I have known all my life are what enthralls me in the cause. Maybe that's why I appreciate road trips so much and can all but stare out the window while driving through naturally beautiful places. I just want to see it all. 
And maybe this is all I can think about for fear of being homesick. I miss some of the really great people up there, like Julia, Jen, Christina, Rachel, CW, Pat, not to discount my family at all, I miss them bunches. Life has changed me so much already and I've only been away from Wasilla a little under two months.
Today (rather yesterday) was my parents wedding anniversary and I can only hope that when I get married I'll be as much in love with my spouse after 30 plus years of marriage as my parents are with one another.
Well enough of my ranting, I should really stop watching pride and prejudice and get some sleep.
Goodnight! Or morning... whoops. tomorrow night I'll sleep regularly. This blasted laptop. Geez!

"It's was only a kiss" understatement of the century.

 

August 15, 2011

After FHE tonight I couldn't go home immediately so I went to the temple, nothing like a beautiful majestic building to make you ponder life and love and the pursuit of happiness. Lately when I pray, I know someone is listening, I just wish I heard back from that being, just once. 

There's no way all this could be a ruse, if we don't have a purpose in our lives to live, then why be here at all? 

I have been listening to this song a lot lately, defying gravity. It's been fun to think about what I am capable of. 

"I think I'll try defying gravity, kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity" 

The simplest song or photograph makes me so very homesick and I tear up quite often recently. I know this is where I'm supposed to be for now, but it's still dreadfully difficult. I know that the unemployment thing is what's weighing me down, and I'm relieved that someone I care for dearly is the only one who hasn't pestered me about it. Finding a job is difficult and when I find one I'm sure I'll let everyone know as soon as I do. Just stop asking please. 

If it's possible I feel more muddled now than I did when I began writing this particular entry. 

I really ought to be getting to sleep, I'd like lovely dreams of better times and lots of good friends. 

I miss having good friends. I was thinking about Rachael getting married and all and I honestly have no idea who I would ask to be my maid of honor or bridesmaids if it was me getting married. Granted that's a long way off, but still. hmm. 

As always, thanks for reading, I'm dreadfully sorry if I've muddled you too. haha 

Goodnight!

I love that you love

 

August 14, 2011

This day was perfect. 

I went to church and was pleasantly surprised with how many people I recognized. I'm really trying to remember everyone's names. It's like a game! While we're having a lesson or whatever I got over everybodies names in my head, it's definitely entertaining. 

After church I met up with Rachael and Kevin and we went to The willis' home about a half hour away. It was so lovely to see all those people who love me again. Rachael and Kevin are absolutely perfect for each other and I love her so much and I'm so stinkin' excited that she's happy. I forgot how much we could talk when we get together. She's just wonderful. I enjoy friendships that last forever. We played so many games and had a splendid time together. It was just a wonderful time. Then I got to see her wedding dress!! :) and I totally teared up a bit. 

Life is good, Rachael is in love, my sisters will be here in a month and hopefully soon I'll have a job!

Missing Mom's garden.

 

August 13, 2011

Some days you go to street fairs and out to delicious restaurants only to end the day at a lovely dance meeting all sorts of new people. 

The farmers market/street fair in downtown Salt Lake was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so happy and there were so many interesting people who were doing all kinds of different things, There was this tiny child who was playing a miniature violin. It was adorable! Then we went to P.F. Changs which was absolutely delicious and we ate until we couldn't eat anymore. I love it! 

Then we went to this amazing garden in my grandma's grandmas old house. It was so beautiful and innovative. I got so many great ideas for what I want as a garden when I get my own house and start my own life. I'm so excited for that day. 

The dance was lovely and I met these two sisters, Alyssa and Jenna. They were so fun and sweet and we spent the whole night together grabbing all kinds of fun people who were kinda straggling in. I thought it was interesting how much people don't really talk to each other, there was only a few people from each ward, but it still was wonderful and so incredibly fun. I'm really beginning to feel like I've got something going here.

Sleeping pills, monsters, matilda, tissues and blogging

 

August 12, 2011

These are the ingredients that sadly have been dictating my evening for the past few weeks. 

We went to see "the help" then out to dinner at Iggy's and Michele's sister Michele is in town for the weekend. Hooray!

My dreams are vivid

 

August 11, 2011

We took my cousin Cody back home to Syracuse today and had dinner with my Aunt Patti at the house they are staying at right now, they're moving into their new apartment next week. 

The sunset was brilliant this evening, I'm still astounded at how fantastic it feels around here when the sun goes down. It's still full fledged summer for now and in about two weeks it's supposed to start cooling off back to the 70's or so. that'll be sooo nice! Perspective is everything, isn't it?

"Two for planet of the apes, please"

 

August 10, 2011

Some days I go to the movies with friends and freak them both out with a little joke. Poor guys. 

There is this movie theater in Jordan Landing which is just across the airport from my house and I'm always astounded by the kind of people that are there. While I was waiting for the guys to show up tonight I just sat and watched while this group of ladies waited for their friend. There was only 3 of them, but they were giggling and excited to be out away from the kids or whatever it is moms get away from. When the fourth finally arrived they received her with open arms and lots of smiles and laughter. I just hope that when I get to be there age, I've still got movie dates with my girls. 

I had an interview of sorts today, I met the lady who interviewed me on the phone and worked with her for the day to see how well we work together and I'm just crossing my fingers that it works out because she was so organized and I picked up on what she expected from me immediately. If I don't get that job, let's hope that somebody at a chiropractic clinic decides they can't live without me. 

I had a good day, only suffering from lack of sleep once again so I'm out for the night world. See you tomorrow.

Rose for your thoughts?

 

August 9, 2011

Today was so fun! I went to the pool with my cousin and spent a good 3 hours there. I was so tired by the time we were finished, but I didn't go to sleep in an attempt to figure out my sleep schedule once more. But I did get a phone call from a wonderful lady I applied to and I have an interview tomorrow!!!! Whoo hoo! Keep all your fingers crossed for me : )

I dream of you when I'm not sleeping.

 

No lie, this picture terrifies me.. something is wrong with that. 

 

I strangely love this one. In case you didn't catch on, I tried to take self portraits, but fell short on my creativeness, Next time for sure. 

 

August 8, 2011

Today felt like a waste of time but that's because that's all I did with my time, I checked out a few applications, but mostly just laid around which is probably why I have such a hard time sleeping the rest of the time because of my inability to get out and get active. Here's hoping that tomorrow is better.

To those who believe

Who am I kidding? I miss Kelsey Cottle. Even if all of it was wrong or strange, there were a few glittering moments when we really were best friends and loved each other. Friendship that strong isn't supposed to end this way. I wish I could take back so many things. I wish I liked high school more and was a happier person there at the end. I'm sorry, Kels. I wish you every happiness.

I still miss you...

 

August 7, 2011

Well after getting home so very early this morning I slept surprisingly well. I've really got to work on this whole sleep schedule thing because here it is 3 am and I've already slept for four hours, but woke up like it was morning.. ugh. 

I did wake up in quite a fantastic mood this morning and talked to my mom and Adam almost immediately. They are so great and Adam passed the sacrament for the first time today, I wish I was there to share that with him. I sure love my siblings, they are fantastic people. 

Church was wonderful today and gave me a really good excuse to bear my testimony by introducing myself to the ward. No longer am I invisible. Life is looking up and I'm going on date number two sometime this week, it remains to be seen how that all works out. Oh poor Gina, we were at Micheles dads for dinner today and Michele was talking about how she won't be able to go to the movie we had planned for this week so Gina looks at me and asked if I still wanted to go, but sad for her. I told her I had a date and she was a little crushed haha poor girl. 

Life is fun and I especially like blogging whilst listening to a Gershwin tune or two.

Is this a date?

 

August 6, 2011

Today was phenomenal. I spent the morning with grandma Michele just looking through all her things and laughing about events past. Then I decided to go for a drive and find some fun places. Which is where this lovely photo  comes from. I've really got to make some friends and start photographing people. 

Around dinner Cris called and asked me to watch a movie with him, and after them getting so lost I had no clue where they were they finally found me and we went back to his house to watch a movie. After his friends left we spent hours just talking about whatever the conversation brought up. I haven't done that in years. Everything from homecoming to haunted houses and everything in between. And at about the point I was going to fall asleep he took me home and since my lovely internet wasn't working I wrote in my journal instead. It feels good to renew a friendship that's true after so long. He's going to make a great missionary. 

He remembered things that even I had forgotten about all those years ago. Life is surprisingly good.

Sometimes I play with Crayons. Not color. Play.

 

August 5, 2011

Sometimes Crayons are the only escape necessary. Inspired by Julia Cannon I'm going to try harder from now on, I don't do anything throughout the day currently aside for looking for something to do during the day. (a job) I've really got to step it up, especially if I care to build my portfolio to anything in particular. I do love crayons though, don't you? :)

Goodnight World, I've got to work on something to make sense of this mess that is my life currently.

Today is thursday, yesterday was wednesday, tomorrow is friday friday

 

August 4, 2011

I spent the day laying around the house and in bed again as this sickness still won't elude me. But here's hoping that tomorrow I hear back from a job and I feel better! 

For those of you who are unaware, Jaco is my grandparents last name and this was conveniently placed at the top of the stairs waiting for me to take a snapshot before it blew out.

Cheers for engagements

 

August 3, 2011

I felt that this photo was only so appropriate today considering today is the day an avid blog reader and very dear friend of mine got engaged!!!Congrats Rachael and Kevin, I'm so excited for you both! 

This is a paper doll thing that came with one of our mutual activities, I assembled it, but Miss Nan Summers did the lovely temple outline and tied the bow (which in itself is quite the task) That was over two years ago and ever since I've had it hanging on my wall reminding me everyday of what I want in my life and there's someone amazing out there waiting for me. Thank you so much for this, Nan. I couldn't leave it sitting in a box in Wasilla, It's become a daily reminder for me and I don't think I could handle losing it now. What just seemed like paper and glue to some girls that were at the activity has been life changing for me. I know that was always my goal when I planned activities to make sure that everyone was benefiting in some way from the activity at hand, glad to report that at least once it worked for me : ) I even had it framed haha 

Here's to forever.

Sunrise from my window

 

August 2, 2011

Today dawned bright and beautiful. Too bad I was busy throwing up to actually enjoy it. I think I've got a long day of bed rest ahead of me. We'll see how this goes. Pray for my upset tummy? haha sounds sillly, but this is not pleasant on any account.

Conflicted

 

August 1, 2011

Rain just keeps coming down. Not that I mind, it gives me an excuse to buy more umbrellas and get creative which is something I've been lacking lately. 

The second photo is because of a weak moment on my part. Recently my high school best friend and I decided to call off our friendship due to irreconcilable differences. And this evening the gravity of that situation sunk in and I was a mess. I'm not sure how four years of friendship can simply be forgotten, but we've made our decision and she wants nothing to do with me so I'll live with it. Who knows where life will take us? 

I applied for blockbuster today, hopefully I'll get that job for now and get one of those chiropractic positions when they open up?

5 years apart, yet no time has elapsed.

 

July 31, 2011

If grandma Betty knew I took a picture with her in it, I'd be in big trouble. 

Today was one of the best days I've had since I got here. Church was absolutely fantastic! I made 2 new friends and I know a few more people and my sunday school teacher was really great and the stake president was there and turns out he's a really nice guy. Well obviously. Anyway. I think things will be good here. 

After church I spent time with Don and Michele (Grandpa and Grandma for those of you who are unfamiliar with them) Then they went to Micheles dads for dinner and I went to the Carlsen family birthday party at my great aunt's house. It was a lot of fun and I got to see people I haven't met before and there was over 30 people there at one point and that wasn't even everybody. I love this whole being around family thing. I don't think it'll ever get old. 

When I begged off from that because the 3 people I am comfortable around in our family were all engaged in their own conversations I went to visit my favorite Utah family. The Himmers are alive and well and haven't changed a bit. I love them so much haha being back in their house was like going home. I probably stayed there far too long, but I was sort of waiting for Cris to come home and sort of didn't want to drive in the torrential downpour going on, but all ended well and I'm invited back whenever I want. 

Life is good.

Hearty sheets

Another month is coming to a close and I can't help being a little proud of my record so far. 

Well today was comprised of a big fat nothing, but I did clean my room and take care of a bunch of stuff I meant to do this week. And I'm very optimistic about church tomorrow! 

I have the best grandparents in the world.
