weekend hangover.

happy monday.

today marks the first day of spring semester for me.

i'm a little excited, anxious and already stressed at what's to come-

{meaning the homework, making room to study and an amplifying the word busy in my life}

but for now, it's still a happy monday.

our weekend was a lovely one.

a busy one indeed, but that's nothing new-

tons of rehearsal for me, a much needed dinner date night- just us two, 

a gossip girl marathon {should we be ashamed? good, because we're not.},

a little church, hung out with some of our favorite friends,

downton abbey- of course {yes, i'm still crying over sybil.},

and some very anticipated play time with mowgli.

how was your weekend?

tell me something good.

meanwhile, february is quickly approaching.

i'm feeling the need 'heart attack' my house.

i'm beginning to brainstorm which diy/crafts i'm wanting to tackle. 

do you have any suggestions?

i have one in mind- which, i'm hoping to share with you later this week.

so, please stay in touch, so we can share projects.

since monday is typically a long and dreaded day,

 i better say it one last time...

happy monday.

let's make the most of today.

xoxo

p.s. i'm well aware that my legs need to see the sun.

although- a sun tan, mid season for a ballerina, is a big "don't you dare".

so please, bear with me.

come may, my legs and the sun will have a joyous reunion. 

earth and time.

happy monday.

i hope you had a lovely weekend.

earth day was certainly earthy over here.

we spent our time loving the beautiful weather outside.

of course we had homework, so why not take it outside and do it at a park?

genius idea, i tell you.

we are surrounded by national parks and there's no charge to enjoy them.
{thanks to earth day}

we just may have to take a trip to yosemite.
nothing beats the beauty of that place.

life is hectic right now.
if i could only slow it all down, add an extra hour to the day
or put everything on hold and concentrate on one thing at a time...
now, that's what i call blissful living.
if that were the case, it may actually feel like i am living a real life,
rather than feeling like i am in fast forward motion;
blinking and wondering how i say hello and goodbye
to the same day in a single sentence.

all this to say, i am looking forward for that moment when
life will suddenly slow down.
{it will, won't it?}
for me, it will be at the close of my ballet season and
after the end of the this semester.
{just a few more weeks. i can make it.}
maybe then, will be have time to explore all the beautiful
national parks we live so close to.
and maybe then, will the days feel like they pass me by one by one.

cheers to the start of a new week!
may the days pass slowly enough to enjoy them-
yet quick enough to get through them.
if you know what i mean.
xoxo

our {little} weekend.

happy weekend.

we've been awfully busy over.

a weekend full of dance, work, errands, homework and church.

that's a typical weekend for us.

we were just saying today, that we are in need of a "real" weekend;

the kind where you sleep in until who knows when.

you eat breakfast in bed, 

not feeling rushed to go to dance or work.

one where you stay in your pj's all day until you have to 

get ready for a lovely dinner date out on the town.

where you stay up way too late laughing, talking and sharing gelato.

and finally go to bed because you're eyelids are heavy;

heavy from laughter and exhaustion from play time.

okay, back to reality: 

maybe we'll be lucky to have one of those weekends

once the semester and dance season is over.

our fingers are crossed. and our hopes are high.

although, our weekend was pretty rockin' 

due to one small event....

the hunger games.

we absolutely loved it.

{and feel slightly awesome because we know the director.}

we've been waiting and anticipating this weekend for quite awhile.

we are so happy the movie lived up to all of our expectations. 

did you race to the theater to see it too? 

if not, snap to it- you must see it!

{but, please read the book first. that's a must.}

oh, and do note:

if you get motion sickness easily- don't sit too close.

lovebird had to get up and change seats half way through.

he left me by myself.

which, turned out to be a good thing.

why? because i cried my eyes out a few times-

and he always makes fun of me for being such a girl.

look who's the girl now...

he can't stand a little running through the forest. 

"boom roasted"

have a lovely sunday night.

"may the odds be ever in your favor."

the color green.

happy thursday.

obviously, i'm still in the st. patty's day mood, 

and i'm sporting my green.

then again, it is spring.

to me, the color green represents spring.

it's when the trees are staring to portray there deepest and healthiest shade.

it's when the fresh green grass comes out from it's winter nap.

it's when you can spot four leaf clovers if you look close enough.

it's when you look up to find the mountains 

blanketed with green, instead of white snow.

it's when the rain makes you nearly taste the intense shade of green.

it's when the hills in this valley are so green,

you for a split second, feel like you driving through europe instead.

or it's when you realize that green is the color of life;

and that you are living in a beautifully created earth.

springtime is a lovely time.

and i couldn't be embracing the sunshine more than i am today.

i hope you have a little piece of green on today.

what a great reminder of the beauty around us. 

xoxo

combat boots and turquoise rings.

hello to you. 

and hello to another new week.

mondays seem to keep rolling around.

i just said to lovebird last night,

"isn't it strange how the days of the week go so slow,

but come every sunday night, i'm shocked that another monday

 is already knocking at our door?"

time is a mysterious element in our lives. or at least i think so.

i hope you had a lovely weekend.

we certainly did:

my first letter from little brother came in the mail.

{i literally leaped with excitement.}

we add a yummy bbq with our awesome friends. 

{delicious cheeseburgers with bbq sauce. and of course i brought salt and vinegar chips.}

we went to church. that's a given.

it was ward conference- and it was a lovely day to say the least.

lovebird called me a gypsy due to the amount of turquoise rings i was wearing.

what can i say, i love turquoise. and jewelry.

i sported the combat boots with the dress.

i guess you could say, i was a feminine yet edgy gypsy. 

i'll take it.

{i like to spice up life with different outfits and styles. }

i can't wait to catch up on reading your weekend posts. 

 i suppose i'll do that after class, while drinking my new addiction: hansen's soda.

xoxo

p.s. i'm thinking about doing a button exchange!
