guys

i had a stellar blog post planned for today

but that will have to wait

because about 15 minutes ago

my universe changed 

forever

those are my pearly whites 

that i love

and am very self-concious about

and there, on the front right tooth

IS A HUGE CHIP

(ok it's not like half of my tooth is gone but its still super awky looking)

because my husband tried to kiss me

and hit my teeth with his teeth

(can we be more like 15 year olds?)

and chipped my tooth

i immediately called my family

and they laughed at me

and then comforted me

and bryson will only be sleeping on the porch tonight

not on the roof 

(kidding)

a future break-up post

guys

i really don't like provo

(i know, it's not really new news)

but seriously,

these past two weeks have been

THEE WORST

i had to deal with one very very rude semi-relative

our car broke

our rent was returned, twice, because of bank errors

(and yes, we had to pay for their mistakes)

my papa died

and i look horrible in some recent facebook pictures

guys. like literally WHAT IS HAPPENING?

i swear provo is just trying to get rid of me, too.

it's like in middle school

when my friend sarah was trying to get her boyfriend ben

to break up with her 

because she didn't want to feel bad

but she was sooo over him

her plot didn't really end well for anyone

especially for her dog

who ben dyed green

when she actually did break up with him.

(guys, that's a real story. middle schoolers be cray-cray.)

and my complain fest is done now,

because really, despite where it's located,

i love BYU

and i'll miss it when i'm gone

(in just 3 short semesters)

until then provo,

try and not kill me.

(this is not the actual green dog from the story, but hey, a green dog is a green dog)

(because you need to listen to it)

squanto and the other things

meet squanto

caleb butler perry

i love him already

and i haven't even met him

congrats to my best friend kristiney and her husby kirk.

1. i've been babysitting the nerdiest children this past week.

 i never knew that a peck was 30 of something

but they did

and i still haven't been able to convince them that i actually go to college

dang it.

2. all these missionaries are coming home

and then they get on facebook

 and i'm like WAIT

life in 7 seconds

work:

family:

just because:

how i wake up every day because life is just grand:

also. this song. i just can't stop listening. 

tired//lucky

You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.

Come with me, then,
And we'll leave it far and far away—
(Only you and I, understand!)

You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and—
Just tired.
So am I.

But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart—
Open to me!
For I will show you the places Nobody knows,
And, if you like,
The perfect places of Sleep.

Ah, come with me!
I'll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
That floats forever and a day;
I'll sing you the jacinth song
Of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,
Until I find the Only Flower,
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
While the moon comes out of the sea.

e.e. cummings

when i turn purple with anger over a betrayal of trust

or i can't sleep with nightmares of a former life

or i beg in tears to not have to leave this place and face provo this fall

i am so lucky to have a husband that will calm me down

with kind words and sweet promises

unmatched even by my beloved e.e. 

wolf attack

so here's the story

i got bit by a wolf spider

had an allergic reaction to it

was home alone

called 911

rode in an ambulance

went to the hospital

annoyed all of the nurses

convinced them that i didn't reallllly need an iv

ate hospital food

freaked bryson out

and went home.

it was a pretty productive trip

i got to cross riding in an ambulance

and eating hospital food

off my bucket list

and the spider that i thought was dead

came back to life

and had 15 babies in its plastic bag.

rip 16 wolf spiders.

"we are gonna run out of air.."

...after all the people put pollutants in the air from the factories making plastic.... bags."
 
                                         - a nine year old explaining
                                               why we need to put air on the list of needs
                                                 during sunday school,
                                                   yelling over the other 98739 year old boys

on an unrelated note, we are never having nine year olds.

(except this one)
