keep it positive...

My brother says that sometimes blogs are a mis-representation of how our lives are because we only dwell on the positive things. i am sometimes a negative person, but it is just hard to be this week!

i guess i am just grateful at the moment— maybe its because of:

Easter
green + pink= awesome














sugar cookies/experimenting with baking goods
matching dresses on little girls
the Savior
the atonement
music
inspiring words
bishops
crepes (pink & green)
cute roommates
sam's club
pita chips
wedges of cheese
moms
hulu.com
lil singing asians
singing americans
shows about pee...;)
great friends
blessings
prayer
the sun

the sun, i have decided, is like a big brother. a big, older brother. like the ones that know you are 7 and ask, "how old are you?" i am 7, "oh, well you have to be 8 to play..." that kind of brother.

after a few months of dark and cold and snowy ickyness that is everything that AZ isn't, the sun decides to pay a visit. usually he only stays a while as a teaser... then it snows a bit more like he's laughing at the little toy carrot he just dangled... and then after his mother makes him because of the official season change, he just stays.

in utah, i am never happier than when that day finally comes. i can distinctly remember the day last year that i felt like i could lay out on the grass in my flowy white skirt and just take in the vitamin D and listen to "Then I did" (Rascal Flatts) on my green ipod. this year i think that day was yesterday. i was listening to something peaceful like "Magic" by Colbie Caillat maybe and feeling the afternoon cook me at an almost unnoticeable rate. i thought about easter and how the sun eventually comes back out and touches everything. happy things.

speaking of happy things:


this thursday is Urinetown. a show i directed... yeah, its kind of a big deal. did i just recast my narrator a week ago? yes. am i stressed? no. are the parentals and brothers coming because they rock? uh, yeah. and rock, it shall.
