My little sister’s baby girl is in the hospital right now. She just had surgery to correct her cleft palate. She can’t leave the hospital until she drinks a bottle–and she just won’t drink that bottle. She’s such a cutie though. Look at this little girl. Healthy, strong, imprisoned by her refusal to drink theContinue reading “A Spiritual Sunday at the Hospital”

On the drive over, we talked about what Easter really meant.Me: Do you see how the grass is turning green and the blossoms are on the trees.D:Continue reading “Easter Sunday with The Little Boy”
The Miracles of Service
A little over a year ago, I got a call to serve as the second counselor in the Relief Society presidency.A little over a year ago, I got a real kick out of God’s sense of humor. I love relief society. For me, it is the source of my strength as a Latter-Day Saint woman.Continue reading “The Miracles of Service”
A Story Of Me and My Perspective on Falling in Love With Antonio
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.

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”
