my dear friends,
it sure has been a long time since i've posted!! i write to you from my kitchen in utah! i'm drinking a diet coke and eating kettle corn.
i asked sweet paige to do a guest post while i was traveling around in europe after my program ended, and i was expecting a post along the lines of what she does on her own blog, but instead, she surprised me with an absolutely lovely post about why she loves me... and while i have been deeply touched (over and over again, actually) by her kind words, if you read between the lines, that post that she wrote actually tells much more about the kind of person that SHE than it does anything about me at all.
i am so so lucky to have paigie as one of my very best friends. (and i am far less idealistic than she wrote me out to be, i'll tell you that right now!)
not only do i love paige for loving me, but i think even if she didn't like me, i would still be incredibly drawn to her lovely, fascinating charm, like everyone else is (boys and girls included). watching paige be paige is like watching your favorite character in a movie... she is incredibly fun, unique, and inspiring. she is the dearest, most wonderful soul.
paige, thank you a million times over for that incredible post. it was a huge overestimation of who i am, but it sure does give me something to strive for.
besides for striving for that ideal, i have another goal. as of late, i have been absolutely horrible about keeping up with all things electronic.. this blog has been neglected, texting has been all but dropped from my life, my email inbox has become very cluttered, and calling people back has been a total joke..... spending time with my family has pretty much taken over completely. and while all the family time is not a bad thing whatsoever, i still think that i need to get it together in the technological area of my life.... i'm sure its starting to seem rude on my part (which was never my intention, of course).
and as far as the blog goes, i think it might help me to remember:
ultimately, i started this thing to capture feelings and sources of personal inspiration...
so after contemplating leaving the blogging world completely, it just took remembering that to realize that i want to keep it... and i'll try really hard from now on to be a better blogger!! (again, eww, what an ugly word "blogger" is, don't you think?! haha)
in other news.....

my dear friend drew is finally HOME! what a joyous day it was!
my brother christian's team had a great win tonight! read about it here.
-this is a kinda funny quote from the article:
"Lone Peak coming in they were the No. 1 team — we were the underdogs …
we were second place to them, but now we're No. 1 place to them"
-and here is an insanely scary/funny picture:
