a day in the city

These past few weeks I was city hopping for holiday break. From Phoenix, to Palm Springs, to Sacramento, and back to Utah again. It was the first time my immediate family all got together aside from the weddings this summer. Our little clan has grown this year. Two seats are added when we go out to dinner! Anna & Tyler have been the best additions to the family. They fit in to our puzzle perfectly. A few days ago, we got to all spend the day in San Francisco. It made me realize how much I will miss all their cute faces these next few months.

let's share some secrets

Well, technically this is not a secret anymore since I am posting it on here for plenty of eyes to read (some of which I don't even know). But guess what? I decided to be a little adventurous and really step outside my box. Guess where I will be moving to for the next few months? Do you give up? Relax, I will tell you already. Or how about I even show you. In a few weeks I will be moving to this beautiful city. Nice, France







Amazing right? But don't worry. I might actually start to keep up with my blog for once and document my adventures. I have never been to this romantic country before, but am fully aware that I will fall in love with the place. I better start getting in touch with my French roots. Luckily, I landed in Palm Springs earlier today and get to spend some quality time learning all about that side of my family from Grandma Green. To Grandmother's house we go!

for a cold winter Wednesday

Found this little gem today at work. Yes, I have had it on repeat for a while now.

i love my sundays,

First, you will have to forgive me for my blogging absence. Life seems to have taken over these past few weeks/months. Recently, I have returned from a nice trip back to the homefront. I had multiple excuses to find my way back to beautiful California. Last Sunday, the 49ers took on the Cardinals & I got to go see the man of my fancy play. My sister Marlee & my new brother-in-law Tyler live just outside the city... so even more of an excuse to go right? I haven't really seen Tyler & Marlee since their wedding this summer, which is too long of an absence for me. We even got to celebrate Tyler's birthday with family & friends. It was just what the doctor ordered.

another one,

song of the day

You will not be able to just listen once. Trust me.

once upon a full moon,

Summertime in Utah has always been one of my favorites. There is something I love about the mountains, the dry summer sun, watermelon, and just about everything else. Sundance Ski Resort does a thing called the Full Moon Lift during the summer once a month. We got a group of friends together to enjoy one of the last lifts of the summer.
