STOP

dear blogging world. so this was it. valentines day. top left is me and nate with our broken heart cookies. it was such a surprise for him to come over and for us to be making cookies when he did! what a great cousin. i cant wait to meet his wifey loo. then on the right are our lovely pizzas. and below is ty with his. he made a face with applesauce for a more of a i love you effect? regardless it was way fun to make heart pizzas and everyone make their own and such. right above these lovely words are the ADORABLE valentines i made for my nieces and nephews. i do love those kiddos and didnt want to go through the trouble of buying them when i could make as cute or cuter ones myself. and finally for the last photo........ YES this is a true stop sign by my very house. sometimes i go that way just to look at it. and i intentionally brought my camera to a bishops interview one sunday so i could snap one of this masterpiece. whoever does these signs in American Fork. YOU MAKE MY LIFE! it seems there is always one here or there. such glorious things they are. and STOP voldemort? honestly who out there is as big a harry potter fan as i? i want to meet them and become their best friend for life. next photo i shall get is one of me with this sign. but i must dress up first. so i need to make a HP costume. oh i cant wait.

to change things up a tad, i am going apartment shopping on monday! cant wait. so now you blogging world please help me! i am going to be putting together some of my favorite recipes and i would LOVE for you all to leave one in a comment or email some to my email. supydupy7@gmail.com. and then if you happen to be getting rid of pots, pans, cooking anything i would adore you if you were to put them aside in a box so i may use them. i just dont have anything and obviously need some stuff at least for this adventure! so let me know or if you know where to get it cheap etc i would be appreciative. i do believe thats all i have for this post.

if you are feeling down go listen to somewhere over the rainbow by isreal kamakawiwo... not sure of the rest of the last name. he just makes my day complete i am sure.

good things in life

i. am. craving. spring. wanting. needing. mourning. spring. COME BACK SPRING!

so its time for the lovely post that reminds me of all things good

i love that for valentines eve we made sugar cookies (picture later) and that me and nate made one and then broke the heart in half for the fact that neither of our hearts are yet whole.

i love getting the cutest texts from my wonderful heiner kids saying "78 miss you! 0987yt55000999ooplk spencer spencer sue susan"

i love that on valentines day i got to spend it with the cutest gilbert kiddos and we made heart pizzas! yes we got in the mood :)

i love that i got to go to cedar and got to go swimming with lydia for presidents day. there is not a better thing to do than swim and she makes it ten times better!

i love going on road trips with gretch and alli. what good times we had on the back of the car star gazing on the way home.

i love beto runs at midnight with once again gretch and alli. the great gals.

i dearly dearly love early birthday presents especially when they involve WICKED and defying gravity and anything to do with glinda and elpheba in boise!!!!! in none other than 73 short days!

and i love how life begins to work itself out.

i love that just yesterday i realized that I CAN AFFORD SCHOOL! now just to get accepted.

work shmork

As I was reading, yet again Eat, Pray, Love last night Elizabeth told readers some things about mother teresa. wow what a wonderful lady. If poverty and not working, but rather helping those who are in need would fit in (more so the poverty than anything else) I would go somewhere and dedicate myself to service. I suppose there are other ways where you can still work, have a house, a family, etc that would possible be more appealing, but was she not the greatest woman ever?

on the flip side, i made the CUTEST valentines today for my adorable nieces and nephews. just going out to mail them off. Love you little chikas!

somedays i wish you only had to work when you absolutely wanted to. and not have to work for anyone but yourself. perhaps someday. maybe i will start a pre-school. then i can do my own thing. So many dreams, so little time. I decided that i am just running around chasing life because its going so fast. how in the world can i catch it? any ideas? maybe a start would be to go somewhere a little warmer so my poor toes can thaw out. poor little guys.

exciting news however, last week I applied to USU in logan! AH I do hope with my whole heart that I get in and that its just a dream come true.

let us always meet eachother with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. -mother teresa
