The Little Things

I've really been appreciating the little things this week. Like, watching a movie with Sammy and not being wiggly the whole time. We watched Now You See Me last week and loved it! We were both sucked in.

My grandparents came for a short visit and it was fun just talking with them and listening to their stories. I did end up missing two classes to talk with them but it was so worth it.

Because I was extremely late for my second class and it would be rude to just walk in, Sammy and I took a mini date to our favorite bookstore. He waited patiently while I looked at alllll the books and then said he would even get me one. There were three that I couldn't choose from, so he chose for me. Oh. Man. Such a great book! Then we sat and ate and read magazines. Afterwards, we took advantage of the random sunny day and walked down 16th street mall, just because. We didn't go in any stores and there were some pretty scary people but it was fun. It was just the two of us on a little date.

Simply adding lettuce and sour cream to a burrito makes a whole new world, of deliciousness!

The one little thing I am most happy/proud about is a bit strange. In all those lovely marriage books and quotes and such, they always say if you want a successful relationship, sometimes you need to just give up your pride and apologize first. It's better to do that than to be right. This is something I've really struggled with but last week, I tried it out. It was hard. It felt so, weird. But it brought instant happiness and relief to a situation and made it so Sammy and I could have a fantastic day instead of me sulking over something stupid. Someone on the outside never would have noticed but it was huge for me, and I'm really proud about it.

The littlest line tweaks make all the difference in poetry, and I'm glad that my class was kind in their manner of helping me become a better writer.

The littlest hair twirls or back scratches instantly change my mood.

Little texts from family make me feel reassured.

The end.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...
I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
