Yesterday

will mark 13 married months with devin. i love him.

to quote a favorite friend and all time best song:

say nighty night and kiss me
just hold me tight and tell me you miss me
while i'm alone as blue as can be
dream a little dream of me
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

silly pic on valentines. look at devins eyelids... cant help but laugh

secretly...

...i wish i had the self control to be a vegan, the money to buy fancy food, and a husband who loved the idea(he loves eating healthy, but he also loves his manly meat.) maybe one day i will. but in the meantime i spent over a half hour looking at this blog before lunch.
marian, a dear sister of a friend from high school, and her sisters began a blog to share all their marvelously healthy things. i have always wanted to be like them. here is my public attempt.

doesnt this chocolate cake look too good to be healthy?







i think i'll have one of these for lunch







they even have date squares for you bec:)

now it is time to go eat. cooking skills here i come.

my hunt

i'm so interested in polaroid cameras, but before i make the plunge from digital to film i wanted advice from someone who knows.
are holgas the best value polaroid to buy? they have them at urban o, so i don't know of other options.
are they hard to get the hang of?

a few things i love about polas:
square pics are better than rectangles
the fuzzy edges
its plastic
the informality and unpredictablity of the pics
the rad camera color options
they are on sale at urban o.


a few things i dont know that i will love
remembering to take off the lens cap- i'm sure i'll get far too many black pics
paying for film

ps... i'm obsessed with these pictures of venice taken with a holga

pps... if you have any camera knowledge please help out!

We saw them last night...

or should i say we tried seeing them... but their fingers moved so fast sometimes they literally went invisible!!

The Five Browns gave me the chills, and sometimes my heart started burning overwhelmed with how much beauty and talent God has given us, not just them...Although I must say I do regret not practicing the piano more when i was little.

SUMMER SUBLET

we are subletting our apartment while we are gone this summer. if you are interested with details, or know anyone who would be LET ME KNOW!!!

through the eyes of our children, something truly beautiful:

these pictures were taken by a 7-16 year-old underprivileged student in Dallas with a 35 mm camera given to him/her from a non-profit organization to form a exhibit entitled:
through the eyes of our children, something truly beautiful.
wishin i was charitable enough to think of brilliant things like this. There are incredible people in the world out there and i'm feeling inspired.

SPF's

we ate a Gurus last night because i have been cravvvvving sweet potato fries and heard they are in that business. I was completely satisfied with them, but I think I may like rhumbi's SPF's, as devin named them, better. I could probably eat these little buggers every day. maybe in heaven..... ps isn't it fitting that i am posting this on fast sunday? ha

summer plans

Off we go! Devin and I are off to San Fran this summer for some fun, some work, and some dance. If you know anyone with a place in San Francisco feel free to pass their name along to me! We're needing a place

right now

I feel like this. If you think this means happy, stressed, anxious, nervous you're right. There is a lot going on with school and sometimes it leaves my eyes a little cross eyed by the end of the day, literally. but i am brought to remember that He will "strengthen me, bless me, and cause me to stand. upheld by His constant omnipotent hand." my grandmothers favorite hymn.

hasta la vista baby.....

tomorrow devin begins his last semester at byu and i begin yet another semester at byu(they are never-ending) and tomorrow we also leave to cancun!!! besides basking in the sun, enjoying not scraping off a windshield in 4 degree weather, eating good food, and making the great memories with my best friend- i intend to learn swedish, read Leadership and Self-Deception, and buy some mexican vanilla, flip flops and a plate for my collection. mostly just take it easy.see ya saturday!
