My Bridal Shower

On February 8th, the wondrous Kathy Jones and Candace Vejnar threw me a bridal shower and it was SO MUCH FUN! I was a little hesitant going in because I felt not worthy, all these wonderful ladies gathered to celebrate for me? All that hard work for me? But, once I got there and said hi to everyone, it was a blast! I was so thankful that most of my friends were able to make it along with the wonderful woman in the ward. I had so much fun and such a great time, and Sammy and I are so grateful for the help and advice for our future home!
We played the purse game, I wasn't entirely sure how to play so I threw my sunglasses on the floor very quickly the first round, it was quite funny. My mom ended up tying for second place with her Mary Poppins purse. The winning item? A tape measurer

Then we played the bubble gum game where you put one piece in every time you get a question wrong. I ended up with ten pieces in my mouth. It was the first time Double Bubble didn't lose it's flavor for me.

I could only get a baby bubble.






So cute, made by Kathy and I even got to keep them! They're going in our apartment : ) 


The food. . . Oh the amazingness of the food!

This was my face when I opened my first set of lingerie… From my grandma. That's right, my grandma. It was awesome and funny and awkward and very pretty ;)
These were Sammy's responses for the bubble gum game. Everyone was very impressed that he remembered our first date and kiss. He's a keeper : ) 

Super cute date jar ideas! In my favorite colors! 

These were the pages for the advice book. They are so adorable and completely match the flowers I've been making since, forever. There were a lot of sheets left over so I might use them for our guest book at the wedding because I'd hate for them to go to waste! 

I had such a great time at my bridal shower. It was such a great time with all those ladies and I'm so grateful for all the thought and love that went into this. : ) I'm still working on thank you cards! Even though I know those won't ever express my thanks enough. Thank you thank you thank you!

    Impressed with these Bridal Shower photos. These photos are stunning. Well, these days I am very busy in arranging my sister’s surprise wedding shower. She is having a DIY rustic themed ceremony at some local San Francisco wedding venues and I want to use a shower theme which matches with their wedding theme. Do you have any ideas?

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
