day of colours

a couple of girls from work and i made our way down to spanish fork this week for the Holi festival of spring! i have never seen anything like it. so many people so many colours, any holiday that requires throwing large amounts of coloured powder into the air is okay with me...

this week i had an amazing experience, I got to go to the temple with two of my favourite people in the world. Cha, Luke and I grew up together in Christchurch, New Zealand, we attended early morning seminary together, cha and I recieved our patriarchal blessings together and we all graduated the same year. It was so great to see how strong they are in the gospel and in themselves. truly joyful day.

every now and again i read a poem and its as if the words etch themselves on my soul. i know that sounds dorky, but they really resonate with me. this has been one of my favourites for years, but today after the day i've had, it has taken on a whole new form. gotta love David whyte.

As i have been helping lynnett with the basement i came across all of these old photos of jord... these had to be shared because they totally sum up why i fell in love with him.

1. because he knows the power of a good suspender- hightop match.
2. because he is quite possibly the (tone deaf) missing van trapp child
3. because he gets that cake is always the right answer
4. and because he truly understands the concept of "if a jobs worth doing... its worth doing well" (even if that means fully commiting to being a super trooper).

on the way back from Seattle i stopped off in Poway California to visit Sharon. was so good to see her. the sun also made me happy...:)

Vegas Tournament 2011

this weekend jord and his brothers all went down to Vegas to play football together. im not going to say i missed the strategy talks, or the post game analysis but i am so glad that tanners game face was captured on film as i would have hated to miss it.

this last week i had the tremendous privilege to spend some time with these lovely ladies.. and my very talented sister in law Katie (Hart Photography) took these fun pictures.

jord has been spending ALL of his time working lately but with days like this i think he'll be okay.
