I have a moth in my room, but I don't care.

Do you know what my parents did at Stake Conference this weekend?

They scouted out potential candidates for my future husband.

Yeah....my parents are awesome.

They look out for my welfare....

Or a way for them to get me out of their house.

Anyway, here are your....

Pins of the Week.


I think this should be tip #1.
Because this is definitely a tip more bros need to live by.



A Strawberry, Brie and Chocolate Grilled Cheese.
Ohhh....I think I just discovered what bliss could really taste like.
Been on a cooking kick this week 
or 
maybe just a I-want-to-eat-everything-that-looks-amazing week.
Either one. 



I am in love with this dress. 
I just love the lace and the bow and the skirt. 
Oh. It is so pretty.


Blueberry Lime Salsa. 
Yes, Please. 


Whoever came up with this genius, I salute you. 
 And bow to you. 
Brilliant.


Days like these seem to be getting more frequent since I left college. 
Why?
I have no idea.


Ultimate Fangirl Moment right here. 
I watched this video like thirty times. 
I squealed every time I watched it. 
I am a sucker for Bones.

Weds.

So I have been meaning to blog this since Wednesday, but I was lazy and didn't really want to write words that accompanied the pictures. 

Because words just seemed so unnecessary, but I'll give them to you anyway. 

Wednesday:

By the way, I have finally learned how to spell Wednesday without using spell check. 

Major accomplishment? 

I think so. 

Anyway...

I went to a job fair wednesday. 

To look for a job. 

Yes. 

But there was only two employers there. 

Hmmm....a problem?

But the Lord was on my side and I did manage to book an interview. 

I was still a little disappointed though. 

So I went to the mall and shopped around seeing if anyone was hiring. 

And had lunch with some of my home ward buddies. 

After all of that, I treated myself to a trip to Target. 

 I looked at the jewelry. 


And wondered if fashion has evolved since I last checked a week ago. 

And whether or not, I can evolve with it. 

I don't think so. 

Then I went to Old Colorado City and looked at all of the awesome shops. 

I might have also treated myself to a cupcake. 

From Mya Bella Cupcakes. 

Their shop is so cute and their cupcakes are so good. 


Strawberry and Lemon never tasted so good together.

Probably the best cupcake I have had in a long time.


If you are ever in Colorado Springs, stop by.

Trials....

Once upon a time there was a relief society lesson in which we were talking about repentance. It was great, but one part really stood out to me. I don't remember exactly how it had relevance to the lesson, but it stuck with me nonetheless.

Anyway, in this part, the teacher was explaining how one of the leaders would tell her to stop praying for patience because each time she did she would come to church looking frazzled because the Lord would put a trial in her way to help her to learn patience.....

Well, today I learned that same lesson.

I asked for patience regarding filling out job applications and the Lord definitely humbled me today.

It was a very hard day. One that I wish I could say I handled gracefully.....but let's just say I'm human.

Some tears were shed.

But I learned a lot and am grateful to see that Heavenly Father does listen to me and does answer my prayers.

He loves me and that is something I will never give up.

Yeah....I would marry you.



There weren't a lot of interesting pins this week. 

Or awesome ones. 

However, I did find one. 

I thought it was pretty clever. 

A guy, today, after I gave him one of my homemade oreos said, 

"I would marry you."

Well, let me tell you something honey. 

Your going to have to be pretty awesome to do that.

Deliciousness...





After going to a thrift store and not finding anything that looked decent on me, 

I decided.....it was a green homemade oreo kind of day.

Probably not the best decision for my hips. 

But the best for my taste buds.

Honestly, girls have always found them attractive.

I love going to my brother''s house after a long long week in my house. 

It is rejuvenating and just plain wonderful. 

-- Especially when we get to watch the nieces and nephew play on an awesome fort playground. 

You know.....those cool ones with the climbing wall and awesome slide. 

Made out of wood? 

It was pretty awesome. Makes me want to be a kid again....really bad. really bad. 

-- Especially when my niece wants to play a board game with me. 

A Cat in the Hat board game to be more exact. 

The point of the game is to get the most stars by flipping over three cards and building an action sentence which you have to attempt to do. 

This was one of mine. 


And trust me.....I succeeded. 

And my niece and nephew laughed at me while I did it. 

But I did succeed. 

However, I have to admit, this game was not built for a twenty year old. 

Maybe that is why I lost. Hmmmmm....                                      

-- Especially when we just sit in the living room and talk about anything and everything that comes up. 

Like my brother's awesome muscles.

How I got my dad addicted to Jane Austen movies. 

And how cute Avery is when she laughs, makes funny faces, and says funny things. 

-- And especially when I get to hold baby Ashton. 

He is so cute and soft and cuddly. 


A great night to end the day I think.
