take me back

take me back
to the days we spent on the beach
the nights we spent on that corner by the church

take me back
to those 3 hour long conversations
where I'd fall asleep to the sound of your voice

take me back
to when I could hear your heart beat
as I rested my head on your chest

when i knew that heart was mine
take me back
to those days when you were mine

Happy (belated) Mothers Day!

So I know that I am now 2 days late but I just wanted to mention that I do have the best mom in the world. I couldn't ask for a better example or a better friend.
I also would like to thank the women in my life who have acted as a mother figure to me especially since I came to school. My Grandmother, mothers of friends in Utah, wives of Bishopric members etc.


Also I have been blessed to know 5 grandmothers in my lifetime, and not just meeting them when I was 2 and couldn't even remember them. My great-great grandmother died right before her 109th birthday, I was 12. My great grandmother on my mother's father's side passed fall of my Junior year and my father's mother passed away the following spring. My gre
at grandmother on my mother's mother's side passed away last February. My last living grandma is my mother's mom and she is a great help to me and the best cook that I know. All of these women have different stories and backgrounds but have forever shown me a great example of strength and love. I am proud to have known these women and I hope to carry on their legacy of strength and love to my own children.

Me, my grandmother, and my mother

May 3rd

May 3rd, 2011 is so far the best day of my spring semester.

First: my roommates and I made Pancakes, but not just ordinary pancakes. These were Milka bar+chocolate chip pancakes. Topped off with orange juice, a wedding announcement,and a letter from Elder Dan it was a fantastic roomy breakfast. To make it even better we saw a guy on a segway ridding outside of our house.


Second: I did all of my reading today outside in the sunshine on my hammock- my new favorite place to read

the hammock- yes that is henna on my ankle and finger

Third: I went to the Temple and saw my Grandpa today. One of the best parts of my week, I love that man and that place.

Fourth: I love my roommates. Just today we decorated our apartment and it is so cute! (pictures to come), we also did SYTYCD workout video and Lyse and I are now watching West Wing. I love love love this house and my roommates!
