I know something's right when I feel it... I felt it: WSU

I'm driving to Bear Lake right now and we went through Logan, which is home to Weber State University. I didn't see the actual school... But the surroundings were enough to convince me: THIS IS WHERE IM GOING TO COLLEGE. This is the place. The light, light green hills, with a sandy undertone, trees and trees galore, gorgeous houses, the to-die-for lake RIGHT there... It's me. It's all me. The closeness of the mountains, the openness, the little towns, just the right population.... My heart is about to jump from my rib cage it loves it here so much!! This is Utah. This is what people need to see when they come here. THIS is what makes me love the place I live. It makes me realize I couldn't leave it; nothing could possibly compare to this beautiful place.

Perks:
1. It's far enough away from home I would get the independence and experience of living on my own, but still be able to make it home soon enough.
2. It's like an hour and half away from Bear Lake, one of the best places in Utah.
3. My best friends and I could have THE cutest picnics together.
4. The winter couldn't be anything but AMAZING if it's like this in the middle of the summer.
5. I could raise a family here. I could. Absolutely.
6. PLUS! They have the major I want offered at WSU! Mmmmmm :)



... And her heart wondered when.

Of course, U of U is incredible, too and it has all the same nature-istic things this does, but that's just Salt Lake. This... This is something different. I'll go to the U, though, if all our wonderful plans workout (living with my two best friends, going to Europe for our senior trip, my major).

Nothing has felt this right for a long time. Wow. I fall more in love with this place as we keep driving. It's got the perfect amount of old in it. IT'S ALL ME :) AAAAALL ME.

Our week in pictures

It was a lovely week of playing mommy


... I can't believe we sat in the same car. I'm still in shock that I didn't claw his eyes out. Go me!

My sisters: they wish they were mermaids

My sisters (who are 11 and 9) are obsessed with mermaids. So much so, that, at the Wynn's house, they were found with their feet tied together in a bathtub surrounded by shells, chanting a spell for two hours. Apparently this was supposed to turn them into mermaids; It didn't work. But to see that sight... Man! I would pay money!

Now we are watching a show on tv that claims they found mermaids... A 'new species'. They found a dead animal that was part whale, part dolphin, but no dolphin or whale they had ever seen. They found a stingray barb inside it, but only sharks eat stingrays. So what is this strange species??? Obviously it's a mermaid. Obviously.
And apparently there are aquatic apes... Learning to defend themselves in the ocean. The girls are just SOAKING this up! It's hilarious.


What I would give to have that sort of imagination again...
