monumental moments of the week.

I bought my very first pineapple today! I love buy-low market. 2 lbs of delicious pineapple for only $1. woot. I had to document this monumental moment in my life. I don't even know how to cut it... yikes.

Monumental moment #2. I changed a diaper... what is this world coming to? I needed calculus III help and that was the stipulation I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. I love little Benson, isn't he just presh?

Note the flower on my shirt... want one? well I made it and... I think I am going to start selling them! why? because I am a poor poor college student. yikes. So this is the story... Coby (the brother-in-law) and I were sitting on the couch and he said, "you should sell those (pointing to my flower) ..." and I thought for a minute, then I was like... "yeah, I should." Any who he knows someone who sells stuff like this in a little boutique (which I might end up doing) and online. So yeah...

They are so fun to pin on your shirt, in your hair, or on a purse.
Here is a better view of that other flower...
I also have a couple fern bags. made out of gunny sacks with a hand sewn label. totally organic, earthy and trendy.


If you're interested (or someone you know) in making a future purchase, let me know (even if you're a blog stocker...)- woot. thanks.

i am so blessed.
that is pretty much all i wanted to say.

Since the beginning of the year I have written in a journal each day the ways I have seen the Lord's hand in my life that day. wow. it has truly opened my eyes.
everyone should do it.
and although i'm not sure the direction my life is going to take
in the next few months...
the Lord is watching out for me.
things will work out, they always do
and that is exactly why i love the gospel.
it is true.
and i am grateful for it.
and I want to shout it for all to hear!
woot.

i miss home a teensy bit now and again.
not too much though ;)
tonight i just need a tight squeeze from the pops.
and i miss the mom. my bff whom i tell absolutely everything.

p.s every time I go on a date i take a picture of a couple outfits and text them to her- she still helps me decide what to wear... what would i do without her?

on a completely different note- I heart this apt. of boys we play a game called "Bang!" nightly and we leg wrestle.
good times.
(p.s I won this kid)
--probably because i have birthing hips that dominate.
at least they are good for something. right?

p-town

i live in provo now. aka the land of zoobies.
i ate sushi tonight. first time.
also realized i am a total clean freak.
my ears are ringing and i've partied pretty hard core 4 nights in a row.
what is this place doing to me?

yay for little baby benson. i love the chimp so much already.
if i didn't work i would probably live up there.

So I've been thinking about this little old lady that comes into the bank- bless her heart. I seriously want to hug her every time she comes in. Each time I help her she thanks and thanks me for smiling at her. She always says it is exactly what she needed- then bids me good day. Other than being absolutely adorable she is so classy and old fashioned (in a good way). She always signs her name Mrs. Lawrence Williams i changed the name to protect her innocence but you get the picture. I just love it. When I get married I am totally going to sign my name Mrs. some boys name here it's so classy. Whenever Grandma sends a card to mom she addresses it Mrs. Perry Stewart- I used to think it was weird, now I think it's awesome. Anyways, sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century- I want to be old fashioned. People were way more respectful, kind, genuine, trustworthy, hardworking... I am going to be like that. why not? right.

I survived living on my own again. day 1. dinner did not consist of oatmeal- shocker huh. I had to take a pic because I knew mother would be proud. turkey burger and veggies. dee-lish. p.s I just watched Julie and Julia, cutest movie ever. I kinda feel a close connection to them- probably just the name thing, but still.

This picture is "i'm surviving without mother hen." But I do miss her deeply-
I had kinda forgot I had freckles until looking at this pic and now they are screaming-hello- just in time for church tomorrow... thanks guys. not. ha
