*So I’ve worked out this deal with my friend Petrice where I’ll watch her kids a few times a week while she goes to the gym, and, in return, she got me a month pass to the rec center (which I mentioned that I really wanted in last week’s Tell-All). This morning commenced the tradeoff, …
Summerfest Weekend
Talk about a busy weekend full of food, family, and fun! Each year, Logan City hosts its annual Summerfest, which features local and out-of-town artists who make everything from on-the-spot portraits to handcrafted wood tables to spoon-and-fork sculptures. As you might already know, Matt’s mom Sherry is a brilliant watercolor artist, and she came up to stay with us …
Lyle & Ashley
The summer of weddings continued as on Friday, Matt and I had the chance to go to all the festivities of my cousin Lyle’s wedding (who, smart man–also married a teacher!). One of my favorite things? Ashley’s Dorothy-red shoes (check out the above picture!) One thing I love about weddings (which used to make me sick, …
To My Daddy
(My sister Hannah, Grandma Fedor, Me, and Dad) Dear Dad, Happy Father’s Day, and Happy Birthday! I feel like every year, your birthday falls on Father’s Day, but I guess that’s chronologically impossible. I think it’s appropriate that it often happens that way, though, because I know you were born to be my dad. You …

I read this thought on Pinterest the other day that life challenges us in two ways: either by throwing everything at us at once or by throwing us nothing at all. And I remember when I first read that, I immediately thought, “Why on earth would it be hard to be hit with nothing at …
Tuesday Tell-All
*Apparently you can do loads of creepy stuff on campus during the summer because there’s no one around to keep your social-appropriateness-scale in check. I mean, I was practically having a photo shoot in the library, and no one was the wiser. Of course, the real question is, why would I want to have a …
Feed the Birds
You want to know what we’ve done this weekend so far? About six hours of calculus homework, one hour of homemade burger-eating, six-plus hours of card-playing combined with movie-watching, and one hour of feeding the ducks. See those big ol’ fat geese below? Well, apparently I have some kind of instinct to want to chase …
Thoughts on Romance
Seeing as I have found myself inundated with wedding invitations and that I’ve had weddings on the brain considering the events of the last 48 hours, I have been pondering a lot on the subject of romance, and how marriage changed the idea of romance for me. I remember vividly the giddiness of being a …
