SISTERS..

the times we laughed, the times we yelled, yes I'll even admit there were times when you did even bite me. They are all memories I hold on to, memories I laugh about. I won't forget the times we would banter back and forth about nothing and then break into uncontrollable laughter. I wont forget our dance moves in the basement, I won't forget how much better you looked in all my clothes and that was the main reason i disliked you "stealing" them. I'll never forget you. and i hope other sisters take advantage of what they've got cause if you are lucky enough to have a sister who is anything like we were. you have got to be the luckiest person in the world. 

another month comes to a close and I still wait for you to walk through the door.

food for thought....

this is a bummer.. I'd definitely go for the ice cream if i could eat all of that!

people worry to much about taking time to find themselves. Can't say i haven't been there.. what about enjoying every minute and while doing that you create the person you want to be. I've decided in order to find out who you are you have to DIVE all the way into LIFE. 

basically a bike ride a day keeps you feeling ok.. just read the benefits how could you resist! 

Finch Lane Gallery

In 2009 i took a trip to India.  i lived in a small village helping children learn english. that being one of the most enjoyable parts of my journey, i also had struggles. The village i was living in was full of lepers who were considered outcasts. It was an experience one i will never forget. The joy that was brought to the people from the small help we offered was amazing and rewarding. While over there i tried to capture the culture, spirit, and color of the people. I was giving the amazing opportunity to showcase my work at the FINCH LANE GALLERY. the opening night is friday the 14th. it will be up through march 4th.  hope some of you can make it! http://www.slcgov.com/arts/upcomingexhibits.pdf this is the link to the finch lane. I have 22 pieces in the show. should be lots of fun!

these are just a few fun photos from the trip the gallery shots will be much different

to close to home..

AS i walked around in the bitter cold wrapping the poles and mailboxes with yellow ribbons, lighting candles to line my street, and looking at the amazing people I live around i realized ... i am not alone. There are some things in life i just simply will never understand and as Diane my beautiful neighbor passed away two days ago my only comfort was the thought of her being with Sophie. Hoping that may be she was there to greet her as she went on to do something greater. The second i found out, I sunk low, and every feeling i had ever had since losing my sister came back with intense force. But i couldn't be more thankful for the support i have in my life and thank everyone for showing me their kindness. My prayers and blessings are with the Bergs at this time. Diane had a sweet spirit that i had never seen before you will be missed and never forgotten.. Rest .In .Peace.  

with love

NUB

If you have ever wondered what a nub is.. my little brother fits the definition to a T..

Whole Foods...

There is nothing i love more than taking a trip to whole foods.. they have everything i ever want and just walking in there puts a smile on my face.. i love getting their fresh salmon with green beans and of course a coconut water = perfect meal

THAI FOOD

MMMM... ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS would be the rich flavor of thai food. i would argue that indian food is just as comparable. Im a fan of many types. In St. George this break we decided it was a must!
