birdies and angels

 Zac and I got out of classes at noon today. We then marched to the temple and had ourselves a grand time. On our way home, two elderly ladies needed our help in getting a wheelchair and pushing them up the ramp to the temple. While helping them, one of the women told me a story about birds and angels ("birdies" as she called them) and the other told Zac about how bad her parents treated her and how her husband left her. I do hope when I'm an old lady I talk about birdies and not the other stuff. :)

one of the best books i've ever read. also, i love winnie the pooh.

I just finished reading one of the best books I've ever read, "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman. 320 pages, done, in three days. I gobbled it up, man. Needless to say, it will now be going on my sweet beats&good reads page...but deciding where it will land on the list is difficult. Also, I think this would make wonderful book club material. :) *wink wink*

"If I Stay" tells the story of 17 year old Mia, after enduring a terrible car accident. Her body is in a coma throughout the entire book, but Mia must make the decision whether she'll come back to the living or slip away into death. My goodness. Gayle's writing took my breath away. Specific images from the book keep flashing through my brain. Her writing will forever have an effect on me.

...Now I just need to get my hands on the sequel, "Where She Went," and we can call it good. :) For now, I am going to sleep off how awful I feel. I've missed two classes this week because I've felt like a train barreled into me. Bah. I hope this passes quickly! Blergh.

Whenever I'm sick, this song plays in my head. You're welcome.

big dumb face zac :D

me + zac = 18 months

On Christmas Eve, Zac and I celebrated our 18 month anniversary in Arizona with family. We didn't chow down on our wedding cake toppers until our last day in California, though (yesterday). But, my, those quail were lovely. Rice Krispie balls covered in molding chocolate! Yum! I think my little quail looked like she'd been through a lot (seeing as we had them frozen for a year and a half). But that's what marriage does, I guess. :) Zac made his quail dance to this song. I MARRIED THE COOLEST PERSON EVER.
