Too Clever

I know this is going around, but I simple HAD to post it. SO FUNNY. Love.

A New Dawn, A New Day

Alright Alright, so, I may be getting a little excited here. Last night my grandma did not host a "shower" for me, rather it was a "tea". And I would like to clear up any confusion right now and say that there was no actual "Tea" served, rather delux cup cakes, chocolate covered strawberries, candied almonds etc. the purpose for the tea was to have all my relatives who have recently been through a wedding to come together and talk about what they loved about their wedding, what they wish that hadn't spent so much money on, and what was the most important part of their big day. It was VERY helpful. Over whelming?-Yes. I have a long 2.25 months left, but I am resolved to get to work!

Technically, this wasn't a shower, but cousin Ariel and family is moving soon and will not be here when the blessed festivities occur. And so, I present to you, my first wedding gift!....

It's Official

Totally Awesome

One of my favorite movies! I thought this was crazy. Sorry, I don't know why it's a little off center, I tried everything, but it won't totally align. enjoy!

St. George/Birthday Pictures!

This year for my birthday I wanted more than anything to be WARM. So, the whole family (+Dave) took a little jaunt down to St. George to soak up some rays and shed some of those winter pounds. Pictures below are from the birthday celebration and hike to Angels Landing.

Fresh Scent

In all honesty, finals haven't been too painful this semester. Maybe I'm just a better student now that I'm home from my mission, maybe I honestly took easier classes (doubtful), or maybe I've finally got this college thing figured out ( hope so! I started at BYU in Fall of 2005!).

Amidst the studying and finals, the best parts of my day are when I get to walk by this:

I love the blossom smell in the spring. Sometimes I just have to stop and take a couple deep breaths because I know it's only going to last a short while.

Which got me thinking about the finer things of life.

The "small" things I am grateful for today:

-lots of hot water in the shower in my apartment

-Cafe Rio (guilty face)

-Doing homework in the sunshine

-Flip Flops

-Getting Wedding Invites from my friends

-My Mission president's wife called to check up
