This is my mom and my step-dad. They’ve been married for 18 years now! This is my mom, my mom’s mom, and me! This is my new nephew Konner Jay, my brother Nick who is now 16 and almost 6ft tall and my sister Kelli. They’re playing around on Nick’s organ. He is brilliant onContinue reading “Random pictures of family”

This is a picture taken from my backporch in Utah. I post it here to help you to feel the cold that I feel. I’d take a picture of the cold in VA, but it’s not so pretty. I’m freezing. I can’t think. I’m trying to set goals and make the most of this week–butContinue reading “sooooo cold”

I did fine. Up until 9pm when I was at FHE. I kid you not, they pulled out 5 different flavors of ice cream, little fudge bundt cakes, and a giant cake with vanilla pudding in the middle and beautiful frosting. I caved. I ate cake. And ice cream. And then more ice cream. ButContinue reading “1st day a little faulty”

I have a lot of time on my hands this week. This is good and bad. I prefer to dwell on the good. The good thing is that I have a lot more time than I had planned, which means that I have time to put myself through a serious boot camp. A rehabilitation, ifContinue reading “1 Week of Hell.

I went to the gym today. (yay me!) It’s interesting the things that you learn in the locker room. Women walk around in various states of undress. The oldest women are the most naked. They could care less. They flaunt their wrinkly old skin like it’s going out of style. The young pretty things, areContinue reading “Locker Room Lessons”

Quick update on resolutions: I went to bed at 4:45am last night. Oh poo. That’s not midnight at all!! I was so caught up in reading about the BCS stuff. I was looking to see Barry Switzer apologize for being an IDIOT about Utah in the pregame show, but alas, there’s nothing on youtube aboutContinue reading “thoughts during English”

This Christmas, I went to Phoenix to be with my Nana and Popop. My Aunt Nancy came from Michigan with my cousin Caitlin. And her son Brady–(also my cousin) drove up from Los Angeles. Brady is a chef. My popop is amazing in the kitchen. So is Nana and Aunt Nancy for that matter. WeContinue reading “Pictures from Phoenix”

I haven’t posted in forever. It was a little difficult going without internet for so long. And now that it has been so long, I have less to say. But, I figure since I enjoy reading other people’s posts so much–I should return to the land of Blog and speak up! During the break, IContinue reading “New Year”

So part of the reason I am out in Utah a week early is so that I can spend some much needed time with the family. But also–I worked it out so that I could have students email me their final papers and final exams this week.  This is a problem when internet is sketchyContinue reading “Communication Breakdown”

I am in the lovely Deseret! I’m so happy to be here! I realized how excited I was to take this trip when I couldn’t find my driver’s license late Thursday night. It was horrible and awful–and I cleaned out a lot of purses and coats–then finally went down to the DMV and begged forContinue reading “Vacationing in Our Lovely Deseret”
