The Birthday Stud

Today, was this beastly stud's 24th birthday {sighs} and he also happened to be on Oprah.



And I may or may not have screamed like a 13 yr. old teenager when I finally came home tonight and watched it. Praise DVR! Praise indeed! I thought Kristen Steward was lovely. Taylor and the abs...well, giggles. And then Rob, He was SO FUNNY. I loved the whole "Kristen's Pregnant" line. LOL. I'm going tomorrow to start the whole design invite process with the company who did them for me last year for Eclipse. Squeeeeee!



PS. (cough) TEAM EDWARD!
PSS. TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY. HardCore Baby!
PSSS. 45 days till Eclipse people. FYI.

All my Bags are Packed, I'm ready to go....Sorta

I ask you, How in the WORLD do you pack two weeks worth of stuff (clothes,dress clothes, shoes, books, coat, toiletries, wedding gift, etc) in a 50 pound weight limit? Stress fully, that's how!

I'm leaving Early and I do mean freakin early Tuesday morning to make my flight and I'm starting that shopping/packing/your life in a suitcase frenzy. I LOVE IT! Call me weird but I get a kick out of packing...It means I'm going somewhere. Soon Utah, Very soon I shall see you.

And I was like Baby, Baby, Baby ...

(head is hanging in embarrassment)....ladies & gents. I have unfortunately succumb to bieber fever. well. not HUGELY. but, I found myself today buying these two songs on itunes today and I've been jamming all day. (head is MAJORLY hiding in embarrassment LOL) don't even ask me how this happened because i have no clue.

....a Dress for Me

After searching and searching, I FINALLY found a dress to wear to my Friends wedding in Utah coming up in two weeks. It is completely 1000% different then what I had in mind. However. I saw this and just kept going back to it over and over. I wanted something dressy but not over dressy or to stand out-ish. Something springy/summer but yet I could wear at night. Can I just say that I adore it?!!! I'm paring it with some tall, tan, Jessica Simpson Heels (go figure LOL) and a light gray cardigan. I'm SO excited for this wedding, You have NO idea.

Mothers Day

"If I were asked to name the Worlds greatest need, I
should say unhesitatingly wise Mothers; and the second, Exemplary Fathers."
President David O. Mckay

Mothers day is not really as hard on me as you would think. In fact, it's not hard at all. Really.

Growing up with a large family always coming over to celebrate when my grandmother was alive, I have always saw mothers day as a day to remember my grandmother. Not that I never did the "mom"thing with my own mom but, We have such a large family, it was always about everyone and cousins coming over to visit/celebrate with my grandmother. Nannie as we all called her. I miss her. But, however yesterday was a nice day. The sun was out, and I awoke feeling VERY lucky to have a strong Aunt Carolyn {whom I live with} that is mama number 2. She is So sweet and genuine and deserves the world. And I thank Heavenly Father for her and pray for her constantly.

Add a Splash of Color

The other night, I decided to get creative in the most easiest of forms. So, I copied my friend Jenn's idea and made rainbow cupcakes. VERY easy, yet a little time consuming. Just take white cake mix mixed up and pour batter into four separate bowls. Add as much or little food coloring to your liking in different colors. Line a cup cake pan with white cup liners and then start the process of spooning small amount of each color into cup cake liners. This will take a little while... and then bake as directed. Ta-Dah! Genius! I plan on doing this for my nephew in Star War colors this summer...So, Just relax and a have a cup cake I say!

this is what it's truly about

today, it was about feeling sorry for myself. for pains in my feet and depression. it was about missing my sweet cousins and wishing they understood as I do about the gospel. it was about sunshine and trying to push through. a wal-mart run and life panicking over this weeks Relief Society activity. ....and then I saw this and cried. i know who i am. and with that, everything becomes okay.
