I just got my passport! I really want to go on a cruise. I’ve never been. I want to go to the beach. I found a cruise to the Bahamas for $119 for 3 nights. I want to sit out and stare at the ocean and eat ice cream sundaes in my bathing suit. IContinue reading “Vacation Fantasies”

Today is a perfect, lazy Sunday. Allergies are running rampant. I slept through my alarm clock that I had set for 10:30am. Seriously. I had a headache all day yesterday, but it was just allergies, so it was fine. I ran to church and prepared to teach my relief society lesson. I thought things wentContinue reading “Father’s Day Magic”

Melissa Branin is an up and coming indie artist. I love working with her. Together, we wrote really fun music for a show three years ago. This fall, I get to work with her again on another Halloween show. Saturday morning, we stopped in Staunton and did a photo shoot. Here are some of theContinue reading “Melissa Branin”

I highly recommend both of these books. Brandon Mull’s fantasy is a fun replacement for Harry Potter lovers. It isn’t the same, and it isn’t meant to be. It starts off a little juvenile, but becomes surprisingly rich and enjoyable by the end. I just read the 4th book, not realizing that I had skippedContinue reading “Book Reviews”

The road is rough from construction. I hydro plane while stuck in this precarious situation. I thoughtContinue reading “Late night driving in the rain”

Freshly painted deck! Old deck. But new bbq! old deck. Sad. grey. splintery, old deck. New Deck! Pretty! Painted! Lovely! This weekend, we had a bbq for my roommate Angelina. She is leaving for Iraq again this month. She’ll be gone for 6 months. Everyone was able to relax and enjoy the newly painted deck!!Continue reading “Painting the Deck”

I was so happy to see her. She bounced into the admissions office and said, “I’m in your Ethics class!” I immediately noticed her smile. She was just radiant. Still too skinny, but radiant. When I finally started class, she was up front and center, eagerly answering questions and participating. Just one quarter ago, sheContinue reading “Tears of Joy”

The new quarter has begun! I arrived home safely at 12:30am and immediately began working on classes! I fell into bed at about 3am. Remind me never to go on vacation, put on a concert, finish up a quarter-full of classes, and start a new quarter-full all in the same weekend. Now that I canContinue reading “Out of the mouths of babes”
