in honor of this holiday (that i don't love), here are some letters to people i used to like. (and one i still do)

dear g,
i crushed on you soooo hard for all of highschool. you finally kissed me in my backyard the week before you moved away. two years later you left me a secret-admirer valentine on my car, and last summer you took me on a date to the zoo. what is uuuuup with that?

dear m,
you were tall and nice and took me to a lot of Jazz games. then you moved to vernal for the summer and I sort of forgot about you. sorry...

dear s,
you're part of the reason i forgot about M. we went on a lot of adventures and you made me a comic book. we're still friends, and that makes me happy.

dear f,
you had a cool last name, and dated both of my roommates (and i dated one of yours). i liked you but only sometimes. i broke up with you, but then kept kissing you. i'm not sure why.

dear w,
you were "outdoorsy." you sneak-attacked me to make me meet your parents and i pretended to like curb your enthusiasm as much as you did. i can't stand to watch it now. you dumped me the day before school started, and all our shared co-workers avoided me.

dear c,
we spent the summer getting snocones and going rock climbing (i mainly watched) and hanging out with your best friend. you broke up with me after i moved. and then you kept breaking up with me. i'm not sorry i dated you but i am sorry i let you crush me more than once. and sometimes i still want to egg your van.

dear w,
i burned my leg on your motorcycle, and therefore will remember you forever.

dear brw,
i count the official beginning of our relationship as halloween, which is one of my favorite holidays. you named my cat (so perfectly), and have filled my ipod with hours and hours of musical enjoyment. i like the words you say, and the way you play guitar, and i'm excited to go on more adventures with you. Happy Not-Cheesy Valentines Day!

february photo a day. part two.

 6 - dinner [this smoothie tasted much better than it looks]

 7 - button

 8 - sun. [or where the sun should be]

 9 - front door.

 10 - self-portrait [and yep, i'm wearing a utah state shirt. i don't think i'll ever consider myself a ute]

 11 - Makes me happy. [my family is cooler than yours]

and a bonus picture!

sometimes we make a late night run for slurpees, and i end up breaking the machine...

a lot a LOT of blue mountain dew slurpee can come out of one machine.

tacos.

last summer, a friend of a friend told us a story about a competition he and his wife had had with another couple back when they were dating. basically it was to see who could make out in the weirdest spot.

i was immediately intrigued by this idea. it's taken a little time, but i think i finally have all the pieces in place to play this game. (heeeey brian. and ashley. and ray)

however, until this officially starts i'll have my own contest called "wierd places/times i have eaten tacos"

here are five i've already thought of (with an embarrassingly low amount of effort).

1 - in bed. with no shame.
2 - in walmart, after midnight, while buying cleaning supplies.
3 - in the middle of a mardi gras party. we actually left the party to secure said tacos, and shortly after returning the cops came. (as they should have. that mormon dance party was getting out of controool)
4 - during a midnight showing of scott pilgrim.
5 - in my car outside of taco bell. because eating inside alone wasn't sad enough.

february photo a day. part one.

 1 - your view today. [home sick with vertigo...]

 2. words

 3. hands

 4. a stranger [taken from the top of old main hill, during a happy daytrip to logan]

5. 10 am [maybe taken during church]

keeping house.

a few items of note:

 - you may have noticed i failed my five pictures a week goal. i will say i have very very valid reasons for this happening, but i won't be talking about them here. however, ashley and i decided to do this

so maybe that will get me back on track.

 - i took my first test! (not sure why that elicited an exclamation point....)

 - i maaaaybe have vertigo. what? yes. it's not Lucille 2 level, but it's been a really good reason to lay in bed for long bouts of time. (to put it in medical terms i'm "resting my balance system")

 - still dating this guy. pretty happy about it.
