It’s been almost one month since my last blog post, and it’s the one year anniversary of me moving back to Utah. Both seem hard for me to believe. Dates and anniversaries are significant to me. I have a strangely accurate recollection of dates from the past. 3/15/1995 brings a chill to my spine. 7/10/2004 […]
Right now I’m working on one of those blog posts that is dripping with so much pain and emotion that I can only write a little bit every day. A real peek into my soul. It’s harder than I thought. Be patient. In the mean time, these song lyrics have been repeating in my mind. […]
Could anything be more delightful than spending a beautiful spring evening with my lovely daughter Rosie? Can’t think of anything at the moment.
I’ve been away from full-time employment for nearly a year now. A big jumble of health and economic factors have made it somewhat difficult to become a working woman again. I haven’t found the perfect job, and I haven’t really been able to make the mediocre ones happen either. My unemployment has done pretty terrible […]
After years of effort, three schools, several majors, student loans, and the blasted algebra class that would never end….Taylor did it! He graduated from Utah Valley University’s Global Aviation Program. He achieved the much-desired Bachelor of Science degree, Aviation Professional Pilot. It was a little strange to be on UVU’s campus, as Taylor’s program was […]
I love meeting new people. It’s one of the things that motivates, inspires, and delights me. Believe it or not, I’ve been meeting people off the internet since 1997! I met my husband online! I’ve met friends from other countries! I’ve met some really, really amazing “real” people through my “virtual” life. So when an […]
This weekend was awesome. But it almost wasn’t. Back on my 30th birthday, Taylor’s gift to me was a verbal promise for a one-day ticket to the Coachella Music Festival. But the ticketing guidelines changed this year, and only $270 full weekend passes were available. When my Coachella plans fell through, he told me to […]
Forgive me for my recent lack of posting…I’ve been in mourning. My absolute favorite radio station of all time, 101.9 The End, disappeared off the Salt Lake area airwaves last Wednesday. I had less than an hour of notice before the last songs of Utah’s Rock Alternative played. I’m a music junkie. I’m a fan […]
Countless prayers uttered over days, months, and years. Many questions discussed, pondered, and researched. A room full of people who love and support you, and desire your greatest happiness. Dayna, Nathan, and Natalie…I love you so much. Congratulations on your baptism.
Melancholy Indulgent Narcissistic Overly-critical Impatient Unrealistic Moody Contrary Impulsive Unforgiving Wistful Confused Irreverent Recently I’ve had a difficult time figuring out who I am. I feel like my life is a constant state of change, and so many elements are beyond my control. When I am in a depressive episode (nearly a year now), I […]
