*Matt and I finally made it back down to Bountiful this weekend, which meant we got to see all the new BABIES in the family! Here I am holding a picture of little Bode, the fourth addition to my sister’s family. Good thing I’m not the type to get baby hungry because they are pretty …
Round 2 of the Cleopatra Hair
It was clear to me after I started to reach the stage of “oh-my-gosh-I-hate-how-thick-my-hair-is” that I needed to schedule my usual 6-month hair appointment. Usually on these six-month appointments, I go with something drastically different than the time before so I won’t get bored. But this time, I did the unthinkable–I actually got pretty much …
Thoughts On My 25th Year
(Me as Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile–the last noteworthy accomplishment of my 25th year) Even though I never said it on here, on my last birthday, I was determined to make my 25th my best year yet. And maybe it was because I kicked it off with marathon training, but I really have felt that …

Basically, I thought of the teachers who had made the most difference in …
Tuesday Tell-All, Wednesday Edition
*Okay, so I know that a Tuesday Tell-All on a Wednesday is not exactly accurate (unless, of course, all my telling was about Tuesday). But yesterday was a little on the rough side, okay? I had to have a come-to-Jesus talk with my Creative Writing class (after which no one dared to move, much less …
Kickoff to Birthday Week
Wanna know the funnest part about having a birthday five days apart from your spouse? Starting the birthday celebrating early and ending it late. By this I mean that we can stretch out all the parties and presents and it’s-my-birthday-bring-me-chocolate excuses to last ourselves almost two weeks. It’s basically awesome. This year, we kicked off …
