May on Instagram

May 1st: I went to lunch with my Dad and we got fortune cookies to top
off our meal.  This is what my fortune said and I was quite pleased, so
I had to share.  I must say, so far this is very true.
May 5th:  We had a small gathering to celebrate Danny's graduation.
I concocted this sign for the event. 
May 11th:  As a graduation present, I suggested to Danny that we should
 go out for sushi (Danny's favorite).  I was showing off my limited
chopstick skills in this pic.
May 13th - I asked Danny to get some strawberries from the grocery
store for dinner.  He asked if I wanted anything else, to which I replied,
"Surprise me."  This was what Danny came back with as his "surprise".
I think I should use a different expression next time and just say,
"Buy me flowers."
May 15th - Twenty years ago, my grandma took me and my brothers to
see "Jurassic Park" in the theater.  We returned the favor and took her
to "Jurassic Park" in 3D. Well, my brother Mark came up with this plan
and invited Danny and I to come along.  I jumped just about as much
watching it the second time as I did the first time.
May 19th - Danny and I like to go on Sunday walks.  This is a view from
one of our walks around Sugar House Park.
May 25th - My sister Noelle, being the nice person she is, invited us over
for dinner as her graduation gift to Danny.  She made jambalaya and
 apple pie and Danny was very pleased.   One of my favorite parts of the
evening was playing with my baby nephew!  I call this photo
"baby sitting".
May 25th:  He was in the middle of telling me stories.
May 27th:  For Memorial Day, we visited my grandparents' headstone.
I love and miss my grandma and grandpa.
May 27th:  Also on Memorial Day, I went to lunch with my mom and then
we went on a walk around Thanksgiving Point, one of our favorite places.
It has such pretty scenery.

    Love your fortune! Is that walk by the creek really in Sugarhouse Park? I can't believe it. It sure wasn't like that when I lived there!
    Love the flowers in the last pic, and like you I think I'd prefer flowers to Mtn Dew and Reeses!

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
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

This Weekend

By
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

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
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
