I'm Such A Cry Baby

                                           Maybe it's not well known, but I really am a cry baby. 

Seriously.

      I cry at commercials, if the mood hits. 

I'm very sappy.

Soldiers coming home and surprising their families? Oh God, don't get me started. Tears will be flowing. 

Wedding proposals? Tissues better be close.

Cute animals? 

Yup, even those. 

So, I wasn't surprised when this video got to me. It really did. This little boy just rockin' the 400 meter race, his wonderful gym teacher and his encouraging and kind classmates. 

It's all there.

Enjoy.

                          

Adam, Can We Move?

I've had a bit of an obsession with something lately.

Tiny houses. 

Houses that are less than 200 sq feet.

Houses like THIS.

I love everything about this.

Only keeping things that you need and love, the freedom of not having a huge mortgage that you can barely afford, being able to move without hassle.

And look how stylish!

I will be working on Adam about this.  

My Friends Are Awesome

I really am super lucky. I have the best friends a girl can have. 

Especially this one.

She is my better half. 

She rocks my face off.

Her humor is incomparable.

So......... I have to give a shout out to her:

Teeny, you are fantastic, and I can't imagine my world without you.

And, in case anyone wants to know what the hell we are doing in this photo, we are taking a "blurry lips" photo. You start to make a "buzz" noise with your lips while someone photographs it.

The results are stunning. Clearly.

I should also add this photo of us from way back when.

Good God.

Happy Entrance

I hinted pretty hard that I would LOVE to have this owl mat for our front door.

I don't believe in subtlety .

A few days later (I was not expecting it so soon!) it was right in front of our apartment. It makes me smile every time I enter or leave our home. It's so cute, I can hardly stand it.

That's right, be jealous.

Just A Sleeping Adam......

A morning snap shot I took on our spur-of-the-moment-camping-trip.

He was out like a light.

Morning Glory

Perfect way to start the day: 

Oatmeal with Almonds and Raspberries

and

Coffee with Milk

Delicious.

Moab, You Will Always Have My Heart......

My friend Alex has a father who lives in Moab, Utah. 

One summer, 2006 I think, Adam, Alex and myself went down there to visit. It was AMAZING. Hiking, rafting, and hanging out with my awesome boyfriend and good friend Alex. 

The year after that, we added some people. They also had an amazing time, Moab is truly a magical place. I will only have fond memories of those trips. We took another trip the year after that, but we haven't been able to go for almost three years. This makes me sad.

I found the one (one?! Can you believe it?! I'm such an idiot) disposable camera that I took on that second trip, and I got so excited! All of the memories came flooding back. It was really great to see how happy and relaxed we all were during that week. 

And, I'm pretty happy of how the photos look. They are completely straight out of camera, nothing fudged with them. I think they look pretty cool. Then again, I'm also biased of anything Moab related.
