Hey! This weekend we did . . .

A whole lotta nothin'! Why? Because in Logan, there's nothing to do. You have to be really creative, and since we really didn't want to go to the DI or have a restaurant scavenger hunt- we just did this. Pictures of us are really the funniest things to me. We are so camera- awkward! I did finally learn how to arrange the pics all scrapbooky using PS which I like. And all these photos are processed and edited and what have you. I even took a class! From Nicole Gurelot- from Little Sussy, but she can't even help me. A hobby it started and a hobby it will stay. But I do love to photo shoot. Especially with my Braden, he hates it and it makes me laugh. See us pictured above. Hey, if you have any fun and exciting Date Night ideas, please share! We really need help. :)

Who knew

that sometimes the most unbecoming things . . .

are truly beautiful when pointed out by someone . . .

who took the time to find it . . .

because they knew it was there, all along, just waiting to be discovered.

I think that is how the Lord sees each one of us. And if we rely on Him, rely on His love, we may start to recognize, maybe a little at a time, the beauty that is just waiting to be found, but has been there all along by the One who loves us most.

meanderings . . .

I couldn't think of anything for the title of this post. I wonder sometimes if this blog is doing more damage than good. Is it ever good to be obsessed with something? Probably not. I wonder if I tried really hard, if I could stay away for a whole month. I will go to rehab and then come back and get another taste of it, and the addiction will start all over again. I live such an unbalanced life right now. Everything seems chaotic, but I don't know why because I'm not busy with anything. I work and come home, that's it. Some how the day goes by and it feels like kind of a waste. And that's why I blog and take pictures- because it helps me appreciate the day for what it was. Not exciting, not unique, just Life. Everyday doesn't have to be life-changing, I don't always have to be accomplishing a million things because- well if I try to accomplish a million things, then I end up accomplishing nothing. Right? But I do need to take charge and take advantage of this time I have to myself and figure out what to do with it. in limbo.

one thing today made me happy, or two: no boss today, just me. and I bought that "Nearer" cd that nienie recommended. i haven't bought a cd for like 5 years, it was fun! this music is incredibly lovely and soothing. i second her vote. {you can get one online or at Deseret book!}

Enjoying the afternoon. we get just a glimpse of this after work. it's kind of our routine. we meet up at around 5:30, get Maya, and watch the sun set in the back yard, then go in and eat, then well it's funny because really we can do whatever we want- but we're lazy people, so t.v. and then, bed. sometimes scriptures and brushed teeth for Braden :) and always prayers.

- I have a cute family



Don't you agree?Tiny bodies do not like the freezing cold! almost every picture you can tell they are just trying to keep warm. And the sun wasn't any help, hiding behind those clouds all day. Warm or cold, they take one gorgeous picture!
