lessons learned

It would be a lot more productive, worthwhile and fun if I had someone to take care of (like a PUPPY) around here other than myself when Devin's not home.


I bet pinterest would better hold my attention if i didn't get on so often. i want to see more new things rather than the same pins repinned over and over.


strawberries are quickly climbing the list of favorite fruits in my book. i've always liked them, but i've eaten them in all sorts of ways lately, and they're getting pretty addictive. except i only like fresh strawberries. not strawberry flavor or anything like that.


The Lord answers our prayers. And I know that first-hand this week. What I didn't expect, is the responsibility I now have to make sure everything turns out okay. I can do it though!


It matters who you know. Garrison (val's husband) knows the head of the school that i'm trying to work for. I'm really adamant about getting this position specifically. I'll talk more about it if I end up getting the job.


Mother knows best. And husband knows best to remind me of that. I've been stubborn about my knee. I claim that I've had a similar problem before. I know what the Doctor will say, and it won't fix anything. Devin said ask your mom about it. I did. And I'm calling the Doctor tomorrow now. She referred me to Dr. Kimball, who is a sports medicine Dr. for BYU. He did her total knee replacement and is probably one of the best in the valley. So I guess I can trust him... I just don't want it to jeopardize our camping trip next week!


Baking is a potential hobby. I could get really into this. Anybody need some treats? Cake mixes were on sale... i bought a TON.


Freeway signs are helpful. Especially when it's early in the morning, you're by yourself, and you've never been to the airport in this situation before.


My bed loses a few levels of comfort when my husband isn't in it next to me.


The Proposal is still funny. Even when you've seen it dozens (literally.) of times.


our fridge will never be blank. since our marriage, there has always been at least one wedding announcement on it. right now, there are 4. danica/ryan, rachel/desmond, aaron/laurel and alyse/brandon.


it's not as bad as it seems.
