Friday

my hair smells like chocolate

last night, i got mad at seth right before bed. so i went to sleep and he stayed up watching a movie in the living room. quite suddenly, at two in the morning i awoke and immediately rolled over to make sure he was there. i smiled to myself when i saw him sleeping gently on his side, and moved over to snuggle with him. it was the pillow. with a breaking heart, i jumped out of bed wide awake and crept into the living room. lightly rubbing his back, i told him to come to bed. an invitation, an order. he complied and we spent the next four hours tight in each others arms.
it's funny how these things happen- how petty things that we let annoy us just fade away as we remember what is really, truly important. sleeping against seth's chest and waking up together to read scriptures and pray is important. making my point is not. i needed four hours alone and waking up in the dark next to an empty pillow to remind me.
i sent seth this text message a few hours ago: I am going to stay in my jammies on the couch all day. he wrote back: i dare you to even try.
so i got up to have some breakfast, and accidentally did the dishes and switched the trash and swept and wiped the counters and made the bed! while my apple pie was heating up. yes i had apple pie for breakfast. i'm going running later, okay?
but i should do this more often, try to clean while my breakfast is cooking- because it really made me hurry up. i wanted that pie. bottom line though? seth's little dare is funny. i have ocd. he wins.
now i'm watching 'i used to be fat.' sort of feeling crappy about the pie. but hey! i'm enrolled in an aerobics class this semester- an hour twice a week. it's been kicking my butt.
my plan today is to blog, read, relax, go running, take a bath and plan a date for tonight! unemployment is really not so bad. :]
i got a keratin treatment yesterday- seth gave it to me for christmas and it made my hair smell like chocolate! i'm kind of tired of the smell, but i can't wash my hair yet.
i have a cavity that needs filling. seth needs a cap on his tooth. -a negative to unemployment. lack of funds.
biggest news yet? we're moving to florida at the start of may! wahoo. for the summer for seth's job. i'll be working too, so that is nice. jacksonville. right on the beach! it will be humid and hot but that sounds just perfect right now in this 4 degree utah weather. i started the car for seth this morning. how sweet.
my friend amy is pregnant. as are cristina and linzy. i want to be pregnant sometimes. i'm trying very hard to stay strong. we have a plan to go on two big trips before we start trying to have babies. stick. to. the. plan. they aren't so cute at 4 in the morning! right!?
well i think i'll end this little update post with a couple photos from the last couple of months. my next post is going to be on our wedding... since i've been meaning to do that for um, six months. since we've been married for six months on february 19th. how crazy is that! i have a little plan up my sleeve for the big event. shh.





just some favorites from christmas and harry!

hahaha SERIOUSLY i really should. anytime you need a babysitter i am down! we have cut our goal down to the two trips- so however long that takes us. :) and also we want to start trying when i'm 25. which is only 2 1/2 years!

love after love

The time will come when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say
sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger
who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life...

Take down the love
letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs,
the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit.
Feast on your life.

~Derek Walcott
