This Song

So, most of you have probably heard this song. I'll confess, I didn't know who Michael Bublé was until recently. Yes, I have been made fun of.

This video is just adorable though.

Concerts Part 3

The videos are too big for me to post them all in one spot... Oops.

Anyway, these kiddos are playing with the Miniature Tigers on Monday too! I'm excited. They have a really FUN sound. Also, they are called The Morning Benders.

Waiting for a war - The Morning Benders

On a side note - How am I supposed to wear a sundress if it is SNOWING?

Another Song, Another Day

This song isn't new. I have loved it for a while. But today, it is perfect for how I am feeling.

I'm feeling good.

I'm feeling tan and sassy!

Just so you know, it's a little repetitive. And loud, make sure you turn down your volume...

Can I Get Get Get by Junior Senior

It's too bad that my cactus isn't feeling nearly as spunky as I am today though. It looks a little water-logged and dead.

It's raining!

I love rain. Rain is happy. It's wet. It smells good. It makes everything, except animals, smell good.

I've missed the rain. I'm glad it is raining. I missed the puddles. I like walking through them.

How could anything so pretty make a person anything but happy? (Okay, floods are bad. But a little rain is wonderful.)


Rain makes me forget the hard things in my life. And that makes it easier to remember the good things. It just seems so harmless. It's like some big wet blanket that clouds out everything that I don't want to think about. It's pretty great. And so, I'm going to enjoy it.

The Turning Point

The first two weeks back in Utah were, well, not anything that I would like to repeat. Ever. But! I have a good feeling about the rest of the semester.

Hopefully I will not get sick anymore.
Hopefully I will not have anymore crazy trips to the emergency room. (Please, don't ask.)
Hopefully my hearing will come all of the way back. (It almost is.)
Hopefully I will make it to all of my classes.


I feel a change in the weather (not literally, it's cold, very cold). It's like my Mary Poppins is coming and life is going to be "practically perfect." Even though I don't really know where in the world I will be after April. Of course I have an idea, and a tentative plan. But as my mother continues to remind me, sometimes plans change. For whatever reason. I guess I'm alright with that?

Anyway. I am determined to have fun. And I am confident that I will have fun. I already am having fun. Determination is great! And Happiness is, after all, the American way.
