Weekend Bliss

I love the weekends!

This one is going to be a relaxing one!

I'm pulling a grown-up stunt and hosting a dinner party tonight and I'm pretty excited. Wanna see what I'm making?
This morning I got the best video of this little girl, she's the first little baby in our family and she's adorable. I can't wait to go out to Nevada to see her!


It's so crazy to me that my brother is a father now. I'm so happy for both Justin and Brooke and they are going to be amazing parents. Baby Brielle is one cute little girl!

My other brother up and got engaged last week, I honest thought it was a joke when he told me. I didn't know he had bought a ring and he was supposed to be in Maryland but he drove to Indiana and surprised Jenna.


I'm loving this blog post. It's a letter from a mother to her daughter.

My job allows me to get some sick discounts on athletic apparel and it doesn't help that I'm obsessed with Nike Women.

I have no idea which pair of shoes to get but I know I NEED some (and by need I mean by current running shoes now have a weird color from the strap on the bike and my spin class).

Dirt Rain

I knew today wasn’t going to incredibly warm, and there was a good chance of rain showers this morning, but I when I saw my car I was really shocked.

I walked down the stairs and thought, great I’m already cutting my timing close and now I’ll have to scrape the ice and brush off the snow from my windshield.

As I got closer to my card I realized that it was mud, yes a layer of mud on my car.

There is dirt rain in the air today and my allergies are not loving it (bonus for me because I remembered to take both allergy medicines).

Here are some shots I took with the new app on my phone yesterday. These trees are outside of my mom’s house.

24...

So next week I will be turning 24 years old. I’m slightly devastated (I realize that the word devastated implies feeling emotions in such an intense way that you would never use the phrase slightly, but I have chosen it because I’m dramatic and I feel it really expresses how I feel).

That is full-on mid-twenties. For some reason I think that I should feel more grown up, I should be more independent, I should have done something remarkable with my already, but alas I will be 24 with little to my name but some great ambition.

I miss feeling incredibly young, and if I feel this way at almost 24 imagine how I’ll feel at 40!! Yikes. Last night I went to the Rockies and had an amazing time and played a little bit too late. I crashed into my bed at roughly 12:30 a.m., woke up at 6:15 a.m. and I was out the door for work within 30 minutes. I feel that it goes without saying that my general appearance is less-than-stellar, at least I managed to throw together a cute outfit (denim pencil skirt, white tunic, yellow skinny belt cinching the waste, hair in pony tail, bangs out, black flats).

Remember as a freshman and sophomore in college I consistently survived off of less than six hours of sleep a night for months and months?? Eventually my body revolted and these terrible migraines came into my life – but those were easily solved by the four months of summer that brought more sleep into my life.

Two-straight days with less than six hours of sleep and I’m dead. It’s terrible and terrifying.

Monday, Monday

Mondays are rough.

Back when I was in school or working for the athletic department/the Bees the weekends meant nothing to me because I was working through them.

Monday wasn’t such a terrible day because it was just another day, in fact Mondays were generally better than the other days of the week because BYU doesn’t play in a lot of Monday games.

Now that I’m in the “real world,” my weekends are precious and my Monday morning wakeup is painful.

Now I have to just sit and wait for the remaining days of the week to pass by before I experience two days of freedom.

I will celebrate this torturous morning by sharing a few links with you:

So Bobby Wilson got rocked this weekend and the video is hard to watch. He's doing ok now. It's baseball and this stuff happens.

Tebow! So excited! The Broncos might not be that much better this year but at least with Tebow and Quinn, they'll look better!

Check out the players who signed with NFL teams from BYU here.

Guess what's coming to the Denver area, check here and here.

A Little Gem

So I came upon this little site when I was checking my favorite Angels Blog.

It's got some good stuff worth checking out even if you're not into baseball.
