Looking Forward To

Image
By
I'm sitting here on my couch enjoying the symphony of chirping of crickets and pattering of rain drops and I dare say, it is lovely.  The second I heard the the rain, I slid the window pane wide open so I could take in its delicious smell and soothing beat.  I love summer rainstorms.

I've been thinking the past couple days that perhaps I should add something to blog, but being a slower week, I haven't felt I've had anything "exciting" to blog about.  I've embraced this less exciting week.  Sure, there has been work and commitments, but it has been nice to have things slow down a little bit from full throttle crazy, which is how I've been feeling the past couple of weeks. (Oooo, I just heard some thunder rumble off somewhere in the distance.  This storm keeps getting better and better.)

 For the exciting section of this post, I'd thought I'd share a few things I'm looking forward to...

1. The weekend

Ok that was a given.

2.  This movie.  I should say, generally, I prefer reading books over watching TV or movies, because my imagination is that awesome, people. (Haha, kidding.)  I think it has to do with story development. However, I do enjoy when a good book is made into a movie and the story isn't botched up.  From this trailer, it looks like they are going to do a great job portraying The Book Thief, one of my favorite books.  (Thanks to my sis-in-law Sarah for sharing this on FB.)

3.  This series!  I've loved the BBC Sherlock series. So well done.  I'm looking forward to season 3, so I can have all my questions answered. Plus, it reminds me of England, just like rainstorms do.  And that is how I brought this post full circle.

    Funny, the kind of rainstorm you describe reminds me of Utah, not like the rainstorms we usually have here in Louisiana. I loved those rainstorms when I was younger, and I hope I will like the movie The Book Thief. I enjoyed reading the book and couldn't put it down, but now I don't even remember how it ended. Which will make watching the movie all the more enjoyable.

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
