Know What I Think Is Cute?

That fact that Tia is prego and Tamera is married.

And that Mr. Jose Villa shot her wedding.

I've never been a big "gossip column" or "celebrity lookout" girl. Seriously, I didn't even know Jennifer and Brad had broken up till Brad and Angelina had adopted their third child ;) But I saw these photos in my internet wanderings and it made me smile.

Like, we grew up with these girls on "Sister, Sister"!

Haha, wow. I loved that show. Mostly their college days.

Anyway, that just struck me as cute. Yes random, but cute.

Annnnnnnnnd...while I'm being random,

Here's another plug for my favorite photographer Jose Villa!

Ok, I'm done.

Big Plans

Someday I'm going to have an art gallery in my home for to the works of everyone from Monet to my own children.

Someday I'm going to read children's books by the fireplace with my husband when the kids are asleep.

Someday I'm going to know the Book of Mormon like the back of my hand.

Someday I'm going to adorn the kitchen table with vases of weeds picked lovingly by my children.

Someday I'm going to be the voice of a character in a Disney movie.

Someday I'm going to hold a bald eagle on my arm and observe its majesty up close and personal.

Someday I'm going to write and illustrate a children's book dedicated to my n&ns and my kids.

Someday I'm going to sing opera on the balcony of a castle somewhere in the green European countryside.

Someday I'm going to be at the wheel of a Mini Cooper, cruisin through town with the top down.

Someday I'm going to love folding and putting away laundry.

Someday I'm going to be obnoxiously busy and I'll drop everything to have a play day with my kids.

Someday I'm going to ride in a gondola in Venice with my husband.

Someday I'm going to shake Walt Disney's hand and thank him for making dreams come true (in heaven, that is).

Someday I'm going to conquer my fear of being in the ocean and go scuba diving.

Someday I'm going to draw a beautiful picture of the Savior.

Someday my kids are going to cry and I'm going to sing them the lullabies my mom sang to me.

Someday I'm going to shake the hand of the prophet.

Someday I'm going to be done with school and learn just because I'm curious.

Someday life is going to be amazing . . .

. . . Just like today!

I think I'll start by cleaning my room.

Dream big

& Love life

Heart's Home

O, il mio cuore,

these make my heart ache!

*sigh* ...amore...

But, don't you fret,

I find solace in the fact that I tossed a coin into the Trevi Fountain in Rome.

You know what that means don't you?

It means that I will undoubtably return to Rome

...which, as you know, is in Italy!

And I love Italy!

(shocker)

I must go back and retrieve my heart.

And see the temple!

And fall in love with an attractive Italian man

Who also happens to be an Italian opera singer and culinary chef

With a deep passion to live in Utah (and visit Italy often)

And is significantly less hairy than most Italian men.

That is all

:)

Hey, I can dream can't I?

(heck yes I can!)
