How Lucky You Are

Tonight was wonderful.

I went to see my friend Fathead (some people call her Colleen, but not me) in Midvale City's production of Seussical the Musical with a few friends. It was enchanting! (PS: the show runs through this weekend. Get more info here.)

I drove down with Cam, and it must be said that she is one of my favorite people.

On the way home we were singing "American Pie" at the top of our lungs and talking about the 4th of July, and it occurred to me that this was a moment I would remember for years to come.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks this way: You're in a moment, and then you step outside it and see it for the gem that it is. This was a perfect evening. Good friends, fun play, great weather, cute babies, and clean dishes when I got home! Plus the realization that I have a good friends who see me as I am and vote Yes. Priceless.

So, to all my friends, both far and near, know that you have touched my life. You make it better and inspire moments and memories like the one I just described. How lucky we are!

Über Chic

Hi all! I should probably post something about my life, but (per my previous post) I don't have a lot going on. (I think the most exciting thing I've done lately is steal three roses from an Old English rosebush on my way home from a walk with Cammi. I was like a ninja!)

If you can't live without my razor sharp wit, however, check out uberchicforcheap.blogspot.com, where I will be guest blogging every week or so until late July while my good friend Madeline is in Alaska. My first post is scheduled for Tuesday the 23rd.

Summertime is upon us.

I know because our apartment is downright muggy. Heaven help me!

Other than that, I don't have much to report.

The reasons for this are many, and include, but are not limited to these facts: We don't have kids yet, so no pictures of baby hi-jinks to post. I don't have any fashion finds or decorating ideas for you. My husband and I don't go to concerts, meet celebrities, or run marathons...

And yet, people have told me that I must update my blog.

So I do.

Hope you're enjoying the monotony that is my life. {Work. Homework. Cook. Sleep: Repeat.} (That's right, with the cute brackets.)

I've tried to think of clever things to write about, like my thoughts on the "Five-second rule" or musings about how I miss Paris and am so excited for the trip to Italy that Preston and I are planning to take in two years when Preston graduates... But I don't want to gross you out by admitting that I'm not all that worried about germs and find this rule ludicrous, or make you jealous that a) I have been to Paris, and that b) Preston and I are planning a trip to Italy.

So... I won't post about those things, and I'll keep thinking. Maybe something poignant will present itself...
