at the movies.

1. i saw "up" on friday ... simply marvelous. and just what i needed; life is it's own adventure. and i have to say that ellie reminded me and others of little courtney. definitely see this. definitely.

2. i also saw "the brother's bloom" this weekend. very delightful. very woody alleny. see it too.
3. this brings me to my next subject ... the broadway theaters on 3rd. i'm an avid movie lover and i quite enjoy seeing copious movies in the theaters, however, so many people today are completely disconcerned with respect that watching a movie in the theaters becomes like watching a movie in their own living room. all that texting and talking makes me crazy.
here's where the broadway comes in. its in the heart of salt lake {what's better than that?}, they show the "artsy" movies that don't come to big theaters {usually the better films}, and only movie lovers {people that don't talk or text during the film} go to this theater. its great.
so if you can't find a good movie to go to in the big theaters go to the broadway and be satisfied.
that's all.

i planted flowers all day.

and now my feet hurt.

sunday in the city.

a few sundays ago, the fam went to salt lake's secret garden {aka gilgal gardens}. it is a delightful little place and i am now enticing you to go ... go.

presies.

i had surgery last week ...

the good thing about having surgery is getting presents to help you cope. katie brought me some delectable cupcakes from so cupcake, my grandma gave me some mangoes and nuts, and my parents gave me a lovely lavender plant.

lavender plants = the best plant.
it needs full sun and not a ton of attention or water, but it smells and looks so marvelous. i can't wait for this.
that's all.

it feels like ny.

i'm missing this place today.

i guess i shouldn't have left my heart there.

mother i love you

"mother i do. father in heaven has sent me to you."

happy mother's day to my beautiful, wonderful, faithful, marvelous mother.
"mother i love you; i love you, i do."

little gems.

here are some more gems i've found in my treasure seeking days of post.graduation:
my mother grew up on a farm. stories from her childhood are comprised of playing cowboys and indians in the open fields of canada. this is her feeding a lamb with a baby bottle.

i love this picture of my mom because i have adopted the glasses and earrings in this picture into my own wardrobe. it just reminds me of every picture of me, with a huge, cheesy smile on my face.

this is my mom in the tub. cute.

i found my mom's wedding suit last week and of course, it was amazing. it was equally amazing on monday when i found a picture of her in it.


oh how i love having nothing to do.
