Love is late night trips to McDonald's or Beto's after closing Blockbuster at midnight.

Also, I bit my tongue hard enough to make it bleed.

Sure made my Vanilla Coke Zero taste different.

Ouch.

OUCH...the worst part is it gets swollen and you'll keep chomping on it for days.

I'm taking your mom with me to audition for a new game show from the Deal or No Deal people. It's called 20Q.

It should be fun even if we don't win or get picked. I'm trying to do tons of things outside of my comfort zone...

Good Visiting Matthew's brother. We went on August 3 to visit Matthew's brother down in Monroe. It was a haul to get down there, but it was good to finally see their place and spend some time there. AJ loved it and ran himself ragged. We didn't get to go to the hot spring like we planned since it was so hot out. But still was a good time seeing family.  Teaching ESL. I cannot even begin to explain. I wrote a post about it on my LinkedIn. I've had so much good feedback, from my manager, from my coworker, and from the students themselves. It has been such a great experience so far, and I feel so lucky to get to do it.  My classroom Growth. It is SO FUN to take pictures of seedlings at the beginning of the month and see where they are at the end of the month. I planted perennials in the front yard, and they're so much bigger now. I love watching my carrot and lettuce seedlings come up. It is so exciting.  Babies coming up at the start of the month End of the month, so ...

July GBOMB

Good California and the beach. I stubbornly insisted on a beach trip during our California trip over the 4th of July weekend. There was a lot of noise in my ear about traffic and crowds. But we went to Crystal Cove, arriving about 9am, and it wasn't bad AT ALL. The hike down and back up with a three year old whose flip flops kept sliding off was a little challenging. But otherwise it was an awesome time. AJ loved it. Memories made.  Garden. It's fun to have AJ help me round up ripe tomatoes almost daily. He loves it, and he loves to eat them, I think mostly because we grew them! We’ve had a lot of cucumbers but sadly they haven’t tasted very good. Two jalapenos are coming in, and I’ve attempted another round of squash that has brought up seedlings already. We will see. I’m excited to get some things planted for fall harvest – spinach, lettuce, and carrots.  The tomatoes are now bending over the tops of the cages Freebies. Our company has a "swap shop" online, and s...

On Dreaming Big

Lately I’ve been feeling a little bit like any “dreams” I have are on hold. I’ve never considered myself much of a dreamer anyway. I guess I have always been satisfied with the notion of a steady, emotionally fulfilling life: a husband, kids, a dog, vacations. I don’t need the big mansion on the beach, and it definitely wouldn’t be as fun to live in it alone. So while I never thought I was “one of those BYU girls” who came to school specifically to get married and have babies, I guess in actuality, that really was all I’ve wanted my entire life. I got engaged at 21, and went on and off with him for another 5-7 months after we broke it off. Then I had a long stint of learning how to be happy just doing the things I enjoy doing. And I feel I’ve done a really good job of that. I’ve worked and supported myself and traveled and challenged myself, all without a husband. Another long relationship followed when I was 26 all the way up until age 31.5. We broke off the engagement whe...
