One Crazy Week

Did the chirping of crickets keep you company while I was away?  I actually wasn't away, just on the verge of being overwhelmed with one crazy week of life. Needless to say, I am tired.  For those who care, here are a few glimpses from this past week.


  • Danny, myself and our friend Rachel got to go a Jazz NBA playoffs game.  The Jazz ended up losing and are now out of the playoffs, but it was still a lot of fun to yell and scream and get mad at the refs.  
At the game.
  • I helped with a production at work, which meant two long days of, well, work. (15+ hour work days.)  There was a funny moment when the crew was filming a scene in my home.  Our neighbors saw a big van in our driveway and could hear people moving things around in our house and they came over to see if we were moving out.  I probably should have warned them about the production beforehand, oops.
  • I visited my mom today to wish her a Happy Mother's Day.  She provided lunch for me, she's such a good mom.  However, I think being Mother's Day Eve, I should have made lunch for her!
  • We had a bridal shower for our fabulous friend for Brittany.  I was put in charge of the games, which is ironic, because I've never been a fan of bridal shower games, so I invented some of my own.  I created a mad lib of Brittany and her honey's love story, a questionnaire to see who knows Brittany the best and we had fun taking turns predicting Brittany's future, which we all wrote down on 3x5 cards and put in a little album for her to look back on later.  I think it turned out well. 
  • We went to our ward cake auction to raise money for the youth.  It was a lot of fun and a lot of sugar.  Everyone buys the cakes and eats them on the spot, sharing them with everyone else.  I'm so full of cake right now.

  1. How cool you got to go to a NBA game! As much as I love basketball, I don't think I've ever been to a NBA game! Sorry the Jazz lost. Congrats on your strawberry! Juliette has 3 plants and so far as eaten 2 little ripe strawberries.

  2. I'm surprised you don't like bridal shower games. I'm sure the mad lib will be fun for Brittany, especially years from now.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
