I think way too much about what I write here. It is often why I don’t write. I’ve written in a book journal everyday since I was 13 and I never run out of interesting things to record there- so I know that my struggle with an online-out-there-for-anyone version is that I want [...]

My friend Jandre tagged me, and I like lists…so these are my six things.
6 TV shows:
( I don’t watch TV!- but I netflix or own these)
The Office
The Martha Stewart Show
Project Runway
Friends
Trading Spaces
um….I’ve seen every Smallville because Garth likes them, does that count?
6 Favorite Restaurants:
Red Robin
Taco Bell
Taco Time (even more now that I’m pregnant and there’s [...]

Pregnancy does not make me crave strange foods. As a vegetarian I wondered how I would handle a fried chicken craving (and how my body would handle it having been on a vegetarian diet for 8 years now!), but the opposite has been true. I haven’t wanted to eat some of my favorite [...]

Bruno came into our lives a teeny tiny puppy the summer of 2000. He was named Bruno because he was born in San Bruno, CA. He would whine when left alone so I would sneak him into my room at night to sleep with me. He wouldn’t fall asleep until I was [...]

Garth got a bee stuck in his helmet on the way home from Alabama the other day. It’s certainly not the most exciting thing to happen in recent days, but it’s the only thing that I doodled about on my Sacrament meeting program.
I’m packing this morning for Spokane, WA. I’ll be visiting my family [...]

Garth is working what he calls “mids” the next week or so. It’s 7pm to 7am. This means that I spend my evenings in the house alone. This means that making cupcakes until 2 am actually happens. Tonight I made 7. I learned that thin, treeesque molded chocolate will not [...]

I am very introspective. The dialogue that I have with myself sometimes overshadows my connections with people that are present. I’ve had my share of inner-esque struggles, passions, serious worries, heartaches and the like. I’ve built a heart through adversity and created my little paradigm with intensity. I enjoy my own [...]

It’s amazing that it takes us so long to know ourselves. It’s like we need years to see the patterns within ourselves…like the rings of a tree when it’s cut.
It took me 19 years to realize that I like art. I walked into my college administration office my junior year of college and [...]

or, in other words…dress number three is exactly what I’ve been trying to make for my wedding dress…the design is done except for deciding one last thing: cap sleeves or 3/4 sleeves? =) I put on the mostly finished muslin version and just felt the *click* that I’ve come to know means that [...]

The wedding preparations are advancing very well. There are all kinds of making going on here…today found us working on tableclothes, sundaes, and lots and lots of hair plans (should my sister Julia cut hers short?). Tomorrow brings working on tableclothes, hopefully sundaes, hair plans, and hopefully dress number three.
I love you peeps.
