The Little Things.

I love Sundays. Life is so good right now.

Like today, walking out of church into the warm sunshine and seeing these beautiful trees.

Spring is wonderful. Everything is just brighter. I wish I could live in a perpetual spring, but then I probably wouldn't appreciate it as much.

And I've moved in with new roommates, and I'm really loving it. They are all just wonderful and happy.

And little things like Stephanie playing guitar while we all sing along, laughing and sharing strange youtube videos, having Sunday dinners together, and late night chats. 

I guess I'm just noticing, and loving, all the little things right now. And it's making me realize how wonderful life is.

I'm lucky. 

This is going to be a great summer.

One Semester Later...

So, I haven't posted since before the semester started. And now it is over.
But, I think I have a pretty good excuse. I was working 2 jobs, going to school, and stayed involved with Y-Serve.
Now that it is summer though, I am planning on getting back into it.
I don't think I'd really be able to catch up on a semesters worth. But I will give a few highlights.

My best friend got married!! And it was my first time being a bridesmaid. 

After three years of living together, it's not the same without her, but I still see her on a regular basis, and we still love each other as much as ever, so it is wonderful.

My little brother got his mission call! He is going to Paraguay and I am so proud of him!

I met Phillip Phillips...basically my future husband. I'm a little bit in love with him. 

And I got a job working in events. And I absolutely love it. 

Cutest Family I Know.

My cousin's family is the most beautiful family. Really
I like to think it is in the genes.
Seriously. Just look at them.


We went to a park in American Fork to take their family photos. It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself.
And the kids loved the ducks, which is a plus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas Sweaters.

For our company Christmas party, the dress code was cheesy sweaters.
We went to the local thrift store, but the sweater section was pretty picked over.
So, we found these plain red ones, went to the holiday decor section and got a little carried away.

The end result.

 

Sorry we're so attractive.
And, the back was even better than the front. But somehow I cannot find our picture of the back. I had a vivid memory of taking one, but it is not on my camera. I'm probably losing my mind.

But here's a low-quality picture of the back of mine.
And yes, this was on a different night, because yes, I have worn it since then.
Because really, who can resist the Santa sweater.
It's perfect.

Ashley Hess.

Ashley is one of my best friends. She's one of the best people I know.
And I'm pretty sure she's going to be famous one day.
And, sometimes, because of that I get cool connections to things.
Like getting to hang out with her behind the scenes.


 

 

 

 

She's pretty much gorgeous, on top of being the most talented singer I know.
