Rules Schmules

i never thought life would then take me to utah to attend byu and then off to serve as a missionary for a year and a half but it did and it was hardest most surprising most rewarding experience of my life

i couldnt find a video of him performing it but listen to the lyrics

what do you look for in a best friend

and again when you are at a good weight and having regular cycles you can absolutely add in a lot more whole wheat and whole grain foods as well as all fruits and vegetables and other good carbs like beans if your cycles get a little kooky or you gain weight thats when you know you need to reduce again

breakfast i always have two eggs and salsa always i dont really get sick of it and it would really stink if i did because theres not a lot out there for breakfast actually when you are at your ideal weight and ovulating regularly you can have any kind of whole grain hot cereal without a problem you know steel cut oats etc i am not quite there yet berries and grapes are pretty low on the glycemic index and i have those too oh and i love cottage cheese with fruit

a conversation today

the girl loves chocolate milk

cate what did you play on the computer then

i bet that block is not nearly as big as i remember it being but i remember it being quite a trip

and as ive been laying in my misery ive been thinking a lot about that penny and just how lonely id be if she wasnt there with me

but we feel more blessed and amazed than ever at lifes unexpected twists and turns and how happy we are that there is a loving heavenly father that understands the little picture we have in our minds for our lives and gently and lovingly helps us change our vision to a masterpiece i really love life

isnt life surprising i was laying awake thinking last night about how different my life has gone then what i thought (in a good way)

i know some people dont love the whole valentines thing but it is so fun to me i dont care if the greeting card company made it up- any day where i get to be pretty treated with sweetness have a declicious dinner and some romance is right on in my book

im loving babies & mamas sunshine happy rooms and cool colors

it was the first time i realized that things dont always go how you think they will and that it all can turn out better than you imagined
