what a day for a daydream

This weather. It always makes me laugh, the way we coo and fawn over any weather. My facebook and instagram have been littered with screen shots of weather apps, and I fain gratitude as if I, as if all of us, didn't have a weather app or access to the internet.

But still, the first time it snowed here in Utah this season, that was different. Everyone posted a picture, but I was actually grateful, that there truly is a kid in each of that stops in wonder at the first freshly fallen snow, that forgets that mid-January we will despise the polluted piles on each parking lot median.

And here we are today. The sun is out, the inversion it (mostly) gone, and the horrible road conditions of the past few days are forgotten. 28 degrees feels like 50 (yesterday), and I'm dreaming of summer. The sun is shining. And the sun is not setting all the way before 5:30pm. I forgot how real the winter time blues are. Man. Go soak up some sun today while you can, because I didn't realize how funky I was feeling until a beautiful day came along to change it. 

 I went to a play last night called Sideshow, at a theater in Provo. One of my coworkers produced and directed it, and I'm on a high from that as well. It is a heavy show, but the cast did a wonderful job and so did the director! The leads were phenomenal singers and it was a much needed artistic experience. It runs two more nights, so yes, I am plugging it. Go see it tonight or tomorrow (and there is a matinee I believe), you won't regret it. And I watched "Craigslist Joe", a documentary where a guy named Joe lives off the goodness of others through craigslist.org for a month. It reminded me that people are weird and awesome and God loves every single crazy one of them!

Then today Lisa gave me a mixed CD. Yeah, we are bringing them back. We have produced several between the three of us (Lisa, E and me) in the last two months, and I love it! Remember this? Check out the comments, Lisa pulls through for the win!

 All I'm saying is I'm taking inventory and my daily forecast and the 10-day is looking bright.

I had a baby.

It's a boy. I actually came to blogger to write about something else, but then I realized I haven't announced that I did, in fact, birth my child, and he did, in fact, make it here, which I'm not making light of. It is a fact I repeat to myself often. He is here, we made it. I am his mother and Eric is his father. He is a person and he learns every day. While it is easy to see him for what he is most right now, which is CUTE , he is also mellow and funny and happy, observant and sometimes timid, and sometimes noisy, aware and eager to grow. It is an amazingly wonderful and spiritual thing and I'm grateful every day for my son and the opportunity to raise him each day. I have had too many close to home tragedies recently to take this for granted. My dear neighbor and friend lost her son at 4 years old, an unexplainable accident that took him home to Heavenly Father. Another, my sister's closest friend, lost her son at 39 weeks pregnant, his body born to his famil...

Pictures from the Cruise

To accompany the last post. And Eric is the best for sending me the pics! Because they are great. It's just from the zip lining in Ensenada but it was so fun. Just off the ship in Ensenada. The whole group. Love being a part of this family! Getting geared up. Literally.  Don't be fooled. I was petrified at this point. This is Dave and Katie but it's the best showing of the first bridge. Eric about to cross the first bridge. I think this was the 3rd one. This was the easiest, I thought. Even though I look a little off balanced here. This is Katie. But this one was actually the hardest I thought, because you had to reach so high. My shoulder killed for like 4 days after this. Oh, and how about an actual zip line?! Doesn't look fast, but it was. It shows the distance really well, though. Eric had had enough and decided to take over the mic for the duration of the "tour"

Just a little curious

 Does anyone else go back and read their own blog? Of course you do. It's a journal format. But I wonder if anyone goes and reads anyone else's blog still. I still read my parents' blogs, but even those have been several months. I haven't looked at my sisters' blogs in years, I don't know if I can remember the urls.  I logged in just to see if I could still get access so I'm leaving a little note to the world. It is so strange how the world changes. Personal blogs felt so permanent, but they weren't. They faded, and while it's still here, maybe no one else will ever read this again. Maybe an anthropologist digging through digital history trying to discover what the ancient world was... but doesn't it feel like all of this will be gone? And they'll be trying to learn more through my hairbrush and stanley cup?  But who am I to predict what will last and what will disappear?
