Easter

This morning when I woke up I was the only one awake in the house (granted half of the people were gone at church). So I left my phone in my room, went down stairs and sat outside enjoying the sunshine and peace. It is the perfect Easter morning.

Happy Easter, everyone! What an important time to remember our Savior. And not just at this time of the year, but all the time. He has done so much for us - more than we realize.

                                     

Oh the Connections

My jazz music professor is from Brigham City.

My dad is from Brigham City. {well - near enough to it}


A couple nights ago I asked my dad if he knew {name stated here} (don't feel like giving names sometimes)
{name that was stated}?! I graduated with him!"

Graduated college? Nope. High school.

How. Random.


Today I went and told my professor that my dad knew him, and of course, he knew who my dad was as well! And said to tell him hi. And guess what! My dad taught his wife seminary.

Ha! Seriously?!

What was going through my head when he told me that? The following: How far apart are you and your wife???

As my dad stated when we uncovered this truth "who would have thought that someone you graduated with would be teaching your daughter in college down the road." (he said something to that extent). But really, who would have thought? Is someone I went to high school with going to be teaching my kids? Goodness, for the most part I hope not. No offense to my fellow high school graduates, but that would just be...odd.


I love these moments. It was like when I found out that my dad also taught one of my best friends dad's from elementary school. {I hope that sentence made sense} But really, I remember that moment. I couldn't believe it. I still hadn't realized how old my parents were compared to others.

But it's what's normal to me!

Even though I do have those "woh..." moments sometimes when someone tells me that their mom is as old as my oldest sister.


The amazing benefits of being the 10th of 11 kids I guess. And only one of the benefits. There are too many to count.

So today! (and everyday) I am grateful for my big family and old parents! {Parentals, please take no offense. I know you won't for real. You might just to be funny. Anyway}

Missing: Mom, Sister, Sister, Brother, and In-laws and grandkids

From a long time ago

Meeeeh.

I think it's safe to say that I have the best friends.

These two:

brought me this:

Because I spent my time during the night with my head over a bowl and the toilet. 

My roommates have also been super nice and helpful!

 Even though I don't think any of these girls are reading this, thanks a billion. 

If this doesn't make you laugh, then you must have JUST seen something absolutely and outrageously hilarious

Ride, ride, ride your bike

Since the beginning of last semester I've seen lots of bikers around campus. It's normal. And sometimes I wish I was one of them. But that's not the point of this post.

I have seen a fairly decent amount of those bikers - all male bikers - who wear their right pant leg up. It's just folded up to the knee. Randomly. I see them everywhere.


I want to know what's going on. Are they all friends? Did a couple of guys decide to do it and other guys just caught on and joined? Does it mean they're single? Maybe it's a way to subtly let all the girls know.


I think we've got ourselves a biker gang here at the Y. And it's not just a one person gang I'm seeing everywhere.

Happy International Women's Day!!!

Aren't we all grateful to Google for providing all our information on the holidays and all the other random days of the year? Yes, we are!

Some tunes.

"Til Kingdom Come" by Coldplay is one of the songs that I could, and most definitely do, listen to over and over again. There is something about it that fits every mood.

"Wallflower" by Priscilla Ahn. I just discovered this song this week, and I decided that it fits me pretty well! Looks like I've got to find a fellow wallflower...

So the song is a little cheesy. And the video is not so great. Oh well.

Then there is another Coldplay song (Coldplay is just one of those amazing bands. Pick an album or song and they have what you want that fits your mood!) "Fix You"
