how fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes

i will never get sick of mumford and sons. they can turn your final-hating, test-taking, i'm-going-to-throw-up days into pure bliss. don't you agree?

well, how is life women? i miss you all! i'm so glad you posted lucy! and yes, those names are darling - poppy and goldie! and way to run a marathon, sheesh! so proud of you. p.s. speaking of marathons, what the boston marathon? shocking and devastating. i can't even count how many times i've asked myself why things like that happen and how do we stop it. it is hard to believe and a scary thing to face. 

life is good here in sugarhouse. we just had our ten month anniversary on friday! It was cold outside so we decided to have an in-house picnic in our bedroom complete with a picnic basket, twinkle lights, stinky cheese, and a bottle of .... pink lemonade. :) i'm weird and since being married, i go all out for celebrating even the smallest things haha, but i really think mainly i find things to celebrate in order to avoid studying. 

i want to hear more about your lives! brooke - how's football treating you and jake? melnash - lady with a new professional job?? melnel - army wife life?? lucy - graduation?? rach - how is work and whats new with the brigster??
so here is my proposal: everyone, write at least 5 facts about your life right now and share it with us! (and FYI, everyone has bragging rights on this blog - it does not count as boasting or being cocky so brag all you want about your amazing lives because you're all amazing)

here are mine:

1. once, speen and i thought we were making chocolate chip cookies, but chocolate chip biscuits came out of the oven instead. #recipiesgonewrongdotcom  #gross
2. i'm not currently taking or using any form of birth control. too lazy for pills. too scared for IUD. condoms are creepy. etc.
3. we have a patchwork quilt on our bed and its my favorite thing ever. i wish i was a good liar so i could tell people i made it. but really its from garnet hill.
4. there is a pigeon's nest and little birdie eggs on our balcony and i have a very intense love/hate relationship with the mother bird.
5. i actually think i will be a pretty darn good nurse. love working in the NICU and labor and delivery. being a life light nurse would be pretty sweet too, but i don't think i'm cut out for that much intensity.

ok. thats all. can't wait to hear yours!
hope all is lovely in your lives.
xoxo, m.
