Once upon a time, I met a guy. We met on Tinder. It was pretty normal. Nothing spectacularly interesting about it. Over Tinder, he was unoffensive and he didn’t get mad if I forgot to reply to a message for a couple of days. (Some guys are weird.) He didn’t ask anything offensive. He wasContinue reading “A Story Of Me and My Perspective on Falling in Love With Antonio”

The Last Five Years at The Sugar Space
Blair Howell is a kind and driven producer who asked me to write about Utah Rep’s production of The Last Five Years. It’s been good for me since any reviewing I’ve done recently has been on a more formal forum, frontrowreviewersutah.com . This review will be a little different since I am only beholden toContinue reading “The Last Five Years at The Sugar Space”
Seven Thoughts (And a Glowing Endorsement of Into the Woods)
I haven’t blogged a lot lately because a lot is happening. This blog is public–and honestly–I don’t know who is reading it–so I’m a little leery of sharing my unedited thoughts today… But I have thoughts…ohhowdyboy do I have thoughts. First thought: I would like to publicly and proudly proclaim my unadulterated love for TheContinue reading “Seven Thoughts (And a Glowing Endorsement of Into the Woods)”
Relationships and Stewardship
(Written in July 2014–just a month before meeting my husband Antonio) We had a lesson in church today about marriage. How do you talk about marriage in a singles ward? Very. Carefully. The woman teaching did an excellent job. She emphasized two trains of thought. Covenants and Stewardship. A covenant is a two way promise.Continue reading “Relationships and Stewardship”
Allow Me To Prophesy
I am announcing an upcoming style trend. Men will shave again. I have been a lover of the beard for quite some time. I love it for a number of reasons, the first being it indicates that the man I am kissing is quite manly. I love hair on the face almost as much asContinue reading “Allow Me To Prophesy”
The Loud Laugher
I like to laugh. You might say, I love to laugh. But Uncle Albert and Dick Van Dyke laughed when things were funny, and so do I. I’ve been to a couple of shows recently where it seems like there are plants in the audience (or maybe they’re just groupies, I don’t know). It’s eitherContinue reading “The Loud Laugher”
Spring Awakening
Midvale Main Street Theatre is great at doing theatre for young people, by young people. It’s an amazing brand and Tammy Jackson Ross, who had been a business manager for over 25 years, is amazing at creating a brand and honoring the customers who specifically seek for that brand that only she can give them.Continue reading “Spring Awakening”
Losing a Gallon
My body is a miracle. Ever since I wrote about women and flesh–I’ve realized that I needed to pay more respect to my body. Since then, a good friend recommended I read The Gabriel Method by Jon Gabriel. On April 20th, I started putting different things into practice. It took a month, but over thatContinue reading “Losing a Gallon”
My Private Spring
Yesterday, I met up with a friend I made about 3 years ago. We spent the afternoon sharing our thoughts and playing with her cute baby. This week, my brother Matt turned 32. On Monday, Matt, Nick, and I all drove up into the mountains to look at the stars away from the city lights. Continue reading “My Private Spring”
Being a Mother and Other Traumatic Tales of Womanhood
(I wrote this on the last Mother’s Day I was single. The next year, I married Antonio on the Friday before Mother’s Day and inherited two little boys. Life is oh so unpredictable.) I’m 36. I’m in that post 35 year old world. As a woman, you know what I’m talking about. “A woman’s chancesContinue reading “Being a Mother and Other Traumatic Tales of Womanhood”
