we doing it!

 

do you ever just ask yourself, is this my life? – cler

I often do! and then I continue eating like an animal! carbs! carbs! carbs! we ate some tasty pasta tonight in preparation for our long awaited “sorta” event tomorrow morning! we are running the provo half marathon! can you believe it? I cant! well I take that back! as I close my eyes and clear my mind as I listen to coldplay I can feel it!  I guess believing and feeling go hand and hand!! well you guys! wish us luck! we most likely will need it!!!!!

nah! we shouldn’t! especially if we want to be these two one day!!

I read in an article this evening that “Marathons damage your heart” there were actually nine other irrational reasons here why one shouldn’t run a marathon! but I got to thinking! what if this first claim was true! then is life a waste for our hearts are being weakened with each passing day!? yah right! I signed up for this plan! I signed up to hurt! I signed up to run through thick and thin! I signed up to run through and well pass the finish line! but sometimes we need a rest! sometimes our heart needs to heal! it is okay to take a time out under the right circumstances! but taking that appropriate rest and or not taking it doesn’t damage our heart! our heart is what keeps the plan in motion! our heart pumps life back into us as we are running the endless present marathons! and it also keeps the life within us while we take a rest from it all!

I lay myself to sleep about 145ish every night! I know it’s a terrible habit of mine! ya see, I lay down in bed but I don’t actually get to bed for another half hour or so! I have a night lamp right next to my bed and the switch is within arms reach yet I always seem to push my body mind and heart as long as long as they are wiling to go or can no longer go! if I give in and switch the light off then I feel like its over! I guess I just cant get enough of everyday! I fall asleep every night wanting more with each passing day! so..

tonight we had such an incredible dinner party! it was magical! well, the set up that is! and of course the atmosphere! and no question about the people! we had a few brilliant creative minds work on the display and boy can I tell you it took its toll! by 5 pm I was mentally reaching for that lamp switch however we still had a whole lot of work to do! four pies and a radical dinner table display later the guests arrived! some really special people from our paris study abroad program this year! it was so great! I wanted it to last forever! it felt as if we were all in paris once again! enjoying one anothers company time finally arrived for everyone to leave! I refused to turn the lights off! I kept everything lit up until about half an hour ago! and again it is 157am! but as I sat around this evening  contemplating whether I should clean up or not I just wanted to restart the whole evening! its hard for me to let go! really hard! to reach up and turn the light switch off! it was the same story in paris! everyday taking the metro back to my apartment I fear that moments might be forgotten or lost in the dark! only to be silly because the following morning we would pick back up from where we left off the night before! making memories is ongoing process! it hasn’t only happened or happens but it is happening! and as I now get ready to make that switch tonight  I realized that memories are never forgotten!

again!! I speak of music and its transcendent power to put a smile on my heart!!!! I spent nearly half the night either being a spectator of rich beautiful harmonizing music or attempting myself to create a poor solo version of what I call music! I have picked up the guitar and guess what? I have a caulis on four of my fingers!!! what what!! so I have some extra time on my hands these days and I feel quite confident in saying that learning the guitar is quite an uplifting experience! I will also soon get to tap back into my 6th grade days when I was first chair in violin! I just havent dared to touch one ever since which is sort of a strange fear I have however I was asked to try this evening yet in response I asked for some more time! hey! I didn’t want to break that masterpiece!! soon enough I will mustard up the courage though! promise! check out this video on the masters touch!!!! worth it!!

I thank all you musicians out there in the world! my life wouldn’t be the same without you! there is a special connection between music and i! I aspire to be able to create something so beautiful and uplifting and I won’t stop! I thank music and especially tonight! I was swept away! gooooodness gracious!

“so gool!”

gracie and I would often spend days at the library! I think mom put her in some book club so I would hang around checking out the how to art books for children!
1. How to draw
2. How to yo yo
3. How to make paper airplanes
4. How to do jacob’s lantern (yarn string game)
5. How to origami
and the list continues on!! those were some gooood memories! where I live, in provo utah! there is always this push for socializing amongst the opposite sex and it goes beyond that! dates! dating! marriage! maybe it’s the kid within me or maybe the adult who wants to relive what it is like to be a kid again but I always just wonder whatd it be like to go back and spend the day at the library checking out some similar books!? someone could substitute in for gracie!! just like the good ol days!
lets date on over there!? ayyy???

this was picture perfect! I was too late! I took it yesterday afternoon! I was talking to mama on one of our porch couches and I saw this older cute looking couple walking by! they were hand in hand! I believe each even was carrying a cane! how perfect! the rewards of a happy choice made way back then! im waiting to make that choice!! or perhaps praying that maybe one day someone will be willing to make that choice on me!

we attended an outside rock concert this evening! bands were off the hook! nice ambience! the rain was even drizzling down on our noses!! it was worth it! and the groups closed it up with this song!!! trop bien!!! apparently m&s have a sick cover!! ayy???

there is something therapeutic about feeding ducks and feeding them cookies is even better because all you do is hold tight onto the piece of cookie while the duck works away on your finger tips with their little-bitty beaks! ducks well mallards in general just remind me of home so I have to admire them each time I see a small flock!! ya know I wonder where my ducks are at this very moment!? well I shall find out soon enough!! come november me and the boys are road tripping back home!! good ol’ south!

well hollr out to www.mormon.org for laying it down on the world! general conference weekend 2011!!! check it out!

“money”

remember employing that word to describe something awesome?! I guess I still do!! I pulled it out yesterday on the lake and a friend of mine mocked me! it was a bit humorous! I don’t think I ever let it go out of style! I usually hold onto that which in my opinion will stick around and even when it doesn’t I guess I am too prideful to let it go!!! like saying “moneyyyy”!!! which brings me to my next point! I think im starting a twitter account! I was thinking about it when I was in europe this summer and now that im back I think its time to give it a shot! im getting my mother and sisters to start and then I think im going for it! hey! its whats in right now!! and I really think it’s a neat idea to keep your family and I guess friends up to date with whats happeninggg!! trends!!
