Easter Sunday 2017

Nancy came to church with me. It’s my very favorite Sunday all year- so much joy. We get to say “Alleluia” again after abstaining during Lent. We celebrate the promise of resurrection and the knowledge that, at the end of the day, Love wins.


After church, Kris treated us to brunch at Hub and Spoke, one of my favorite restaurants. We split the freshly made doughnut holes with raspberry maple sauce, and I had their housemade granola with yogurt and dried apricots. Oh, and of course, mimosas.

 


 

I requested (okay, more like, insisted) on pictures after brunch.

 


 

 
Then we got comfortable and watched the Cubs game. It was great because Nancy and Kris were relaxed around each other and everyone was just being normal and not trying to be on their best behavior or whatever.


Kris left, and Nancy and I went for a walk around Sugarhouse Park.

 

Then dinner at Mellow Mushroom, then went home and watched Girls and at Ben & Jerry’s. It was a lovely day and all of this made it a little easier to be away from my family on Easter

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
