Practicing Adult
"I need to be better at going to bed on time. And getting to work on time. And I don't keep my room as clean as I should. And I definitely don't spend my money like I should. I'm not an adult."
"Yes, you are."
"Not a practicing one."
-Conversation between my roommate and me tonight.

Vest Prophecy
When we were little kids, my Grandma Armstrong used to bring us bags and bags of clothes that she would pick up on her weekly garage sale hunting. As younger kids, we looked forward to these bags of "new" clothes with excitement. One never knew exactly what Grandma would find. But as we got older and more self-conscious about what we were wearing and worse, where it came from, we started to be

Attract the Best II
My favorite part of the seminar was the section Dr. Sherman called "Mechanics of Creation".
He talked a bout the "FIVE Cs" - and no, they were not diamond related.
Chemistry
Compatibility
Choice
Commitment
Creation
The first two, we have zero control over. So if we are looking for a relationship that is solely based on chemistry and compatibility, then we are probably doomed for failure.

For FHE a few weeks ago, we had a marriage and family therapist come and speak to us in a little workshop about dating and relationships and the like. It's not a single's ward unless you are bringing these topics up on a daily basis.
Jonathan D. Sherman was the therapist. He travels around doing presentations and stuff like this all the time, and does a really good job. I was more than impressed

Published in Woman's World
Well! It's happened... I'm in Woman's World as the author of their romantic fiction story. It's so exciting!
The magazine offered to buy my story a few months or so ago, and I was thrilled with the idea, of course. I got the check a month or so after that, and then I eagerly waited for June to roll around to see my name in print. I knew that they were buying the rights to my story, and that

Drawing Challenge Day #26 to the End
Can you believe how cold it STILL is in Utah? I beginning to believe that summer will never actually arrive. All this flooding that people are worried about - why? It's not like the snow is actually ever going to melt if it doesn't warm up. Slay.
Yes, I got lazy. But seriously.
I had fun drawing the little mouse on my Cinderella sketch that I drew another little mouse.
Seriously.

Drawing Challenge Day #21-25
I really want a farmhouse or a little cottage. Sans ticks.
I used to roll my eyes at people telling me that I would miss class. And then they would tell me not to, because they said I would feel the same way once I graduated. I was certain they were wrong. But every once in a while, I get sick of sitting at my desk at work, and I wish that I were instead walking around campus headed to a

Drawing Challenge Day #14
Choosing my favorite fairy tale was actually really hard to do. Ultimately, it was decided because this picture was easier to draw than Sleeping Beauty.
I love fairy tales. Especially the Disney versions. But I also really love Cinderella. The whole, rags-to-riches, dreams come true bit really appeals to me. I've typically enjoyed any spin on the Cinderella tale. Even the corny versions (like,

Drawing Challenge Day #12 and 13
Everyone already knows about me being published in Woman's World magazine, but it is my definite most recent accomplishment. It can be picked up in the grocery stores in a few days. (Week of June 2)
Self explanatory, I think.
