im obsessed.

so maybe halloween is a month and a half away. and maybe i have no reasons and no parties, but yes i do have my place sparkling with orange, black and purple-ps love that purple is the new halloween color-already.. me in michaels and the fabric store is equal to a fat kid in the candy shop. and now I have a black scary cat adorning my mantle, a bloody skeleton resting on my table, a handmade gothic black wreath, and yes a black polka-dot-with-orange-trim table runner is in the works. I can't help it. call me crazy. but im straight up obsessed with this holiday. trick or treat.

“It is in the home that we form our attitudes, our deeply held beliefs. It is in the home that hope is fostered or destroyed. Our homes are to be more than sanctuaries; they should also be places where God’s Spirit can dwell, where the storm stops at the door, where love reigns and peace dwells.”

goodbye and hello.

quick update: all my friends have left me. all the parties are over. all my men have moved away and moved on. time to be a big girl and focus on the job. goodbye and so long summer. it was a freakin good one. on a better note. its time for football games. boots boots boots. sweaters. leggings. movie nights. scarves. general conference. halloween. and hot chocolate. hmmm. glad that every ending brings an unpredictable beginning. bring it winter..oh and winter, feel free to bring me something spicy. thanks. 'preciate it. mwah.

im grateful for my faith right now. and real friends. and change. and agency. good stuff.

home.

its been another whirlwind of a few weeks. finally made it to brazil (without a few slight problems-which is to be expected when the webbers travel) and for the first time in years we had our entire family together. it was a little taste of heaven on earth. we spent the rest of the week staying up late telling stories, meeting incredible brazilian families with larger than life testimonies, taking pictures, buying soccer jerseys and homemade jewelry, eating authentic brazilian rice/beans/meat-which later we would find out would stay with us longer than we would prefer, and just soaking up life in the brazil. it was awesome. but its even better to just be home and to have everyone back where they belong. and by everyone im talking about wade.clay.davis.kyle.smitty.ty.robert.jenny.chase&abbe. the package is back. (although most never left-thank goodness). its going to be a good summer.

just a thought.

i think i'll go there on monday.
and hang out with this guy.

ya. i think thats a good idea.
