A Look at the End of Mad Men

I watched the last episode of Mad Men yesterday. I kept replaying the episodes over and over in my mind, looking for meanings, hidden or overt. The show didn’t go out with an explosion or a grand death. It simply passed away, like any other decade. The 60s faded away and the characters moved forward.Continue reading “A Look at the End of Mad Men”

Monday Night Madness

Last night, I was feeling a little energetic. A little ambitious. I might have overplanned the evening a bit. But I was so excited!! We made playdough!! He wouldn’t hold still. I made him glasses. Well, I started stirring the playdough and realized that it was going to be very hard to stir and calledContinue reading “Monday Night Madness”

Becoming a Parent

This is a post from before Antonio and I got married. I was just learning the joys of motherhood!

A Wedding Post

We got married. It was wonderful! Getting married requires a community. And over and over again, the community surrounds you, lifts you up and supports you into this beautiful new station. It is a communal feast of love and support. I’m trying to hold on to that love in a little book so we canContinue reading “A Wedding Post”

A New Tradition

Nick is home from Scotland! He was there working for the Scottish Parliament. Last night, we gathered in Tremonton to enjoy a beautiful roast as a family. Jayson couldn’t make it because he is treating his employees to a trip to Vegas, but the rest of us gathered around the kitchen table we ate atContinue reading “A New Tradition”

Learning How To Parent

Daniel is darling. He’s so cuddly and cute and I could squeeze his little cheeks for days! I’ve been working on keeping myself spiritually, mentally, and physically healthy so I can handle the stress of becoming a parent. I don’t get the 9 months of prep and the fun times when they’re a screaming baby.Continue reading “Learning How To Parent”

Why do I want to lose some weight? Antonio loves me just the way I am. Even when IContinue reading “One Day Closer to Healthy”

5 Lesbians Is HILARIOUS

Last Friday night, I took my dad to see a very funny play entitled 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche at the Sugar Space (616 Wilmington Ave, Salt Lake City–just off of 2100 South and 700 East). Produced by Silver Summit Theatre (http://silversummittheatre.org/) and directed by the dynamic duo Dave Hanson and Amy Allred of A-MusesContinue reading “5 Lesbians Is HILARIOUS”

Melissa Leilani Larson’s PILOT PROGRAM

I am a 37 year old active LDS woman. I am getting married in 3 weeks, but I have identified as single for most of my life. I have known Melissa Leilani Larson since my senior year at BYU. I recall long car rides while we discussed stories that later became flesh and blood plays.Continue reading “Melissa Leilani Larson’s PILOT PROGRAM”

Heart Attack Scare, Broken Down Car, and The Last Straw

Yesterday, my fiancee Antonio had a horrible, no good, awful day. We’re talking nuclear. Antonio is an incredibly strong, steady man. He gets up every morning at 4:30am to be to work at 5 am every day, but Tuesdays and Thursdays. On those days, he gets up at 7 am to go to classes whereContinue reading “Heart Attack Scare, Broken Down Car, and The Last Straw”
