oh the weekend. what a brilliant thing. + then its over before we even blink. dang you monday.

lately the weekends have been keeping me sane, i beg + beg park to take me down to slc. soak up a little culture, mmm, its almost as good as sunshine

we spent saturday morning in logan. my sweet friend megan is getting married this month. its amazing how much more fun bridal showers are when you are married.

i used to loathe them. most times id rather clean the litter box than go.  whoever decided pee pee pops + trivia games about fiancés is fun was looney; i still despise those things BUT being the married one rocks. giving irrelevant advice (because who knows anything about being married) and scary stories of what “really goes on in the bedroom”; pure entertainment.

and have you ever been to herms inn. its too good. it just sits up there in logan canyon calling you with its caramelized french toast + hand cut fries

speaking of food, as usual, saturday night we trekked to slc and ate at canellas. you cant go wrong with carbs really. we had veal bolognese | cheesy, noodle-y, meaty goodness

we also did a little DI shopping and saw a dog in a cart; doesnt get much better

just a little blurb. master photographer from our wedding, casey mcfarland, is doing a photo class. . and since all of you are aspiring photographers {i mean we live in utah dont we?} you should totally check it out.

March 27, 7:00pm. at my studio: 921 Orchard Dr. River Heights

To attend: Send email to casey@iamcasey.com and I will email a paypal invoice. ($79 for total course + you can bring a friend free)

so just call me felica fat bottom. almost all that parker and i did for his bday was nosh. on buffalo chix pizza, la beaus greasy-bacony burgers, amped up toaster pastries, banana caramel cake, rootbeer floats (and refills of rootbeer floats) oh + plethora of sour patch kids \ we may have a sweet tooth.

so im fine with it but parkers all good at making goals and stuff so he started researching this thing called the “warrior diet”. some dude named herschel walker is one of the worlds greatest athletes and it’s what he does so naturally its great.

basically, you don’t eat all day (unless you are dying then you eat some fruits, veggies +/or nuts). so we decided to start this business today. ive already had a smoothie (full of fruits and veg right?) almonds, carrots, snap peas and oranges.

as i have been researching this crazy thing i have discovered “clean eating”, paleo etc.. which might be a realistic compromise between warrior and my original eat-everything-in-sight diet. the basis of it is that we were made to eat the fruits, veggie, nuts and meats of the land. and to make it even better, it helps with digestion, diabetes and can clear up those nasty breakouts. boom. im in.

so we begin today, im going to make some spaghetti squash business for dinner (lets see if it can compare to buttery noodles, doubt it but i wont hate till i try it)

do any of you paleo or anything similar?

We live and we learn… a lot.

It is strange how quickly we evolve through each stage of life. At one point only concerned with the Friday night football- to planning a life, a life in which your decisions will shape a husband and a family.

We are sent here to learn. To learn to love, I believe, is on the top of this list. To create true relationships. By true I mean honest. I also mean open, forgiving and warm. Jealousy should be abolished (oh, except for that “you are my man” kind) and each day should be an opportunity to seek out the best in your other half. And everyday should also be an opportunity to seek out the not-so-good in you, the static, the mean and throw it out.

As a girl I have always dreamt of that fairytale wedding. Flowy chiffon, lace details and flowers so full you could drown in there scrumptious petals. Oh! And we mustn’t forget the velvety cake and perfect love songs. I’ve realized, that it might rain on that day and there might be gossipy-whisperings and the cake might fall. And I’ve realized that in the end what really matters is the commitment you made. The foundation you’ve set out to build, the love you’ve promised to give and the family you intend to create.

I’m no Dr.Phil, Oprah or even experienced on this subject for that matter but I’ve lived a little bit of life. I’ve been testing this theory out lately and the outcome has been a brilliant, still unavoidably messy, but oh-so-sweet relationship. So, if you are preparing to wed or trucking along to make your marriage blossom take this to heart.. or at least ponder and let me know what you think.

Think of your current situation as a giant Thanksgiving feast! It is glorious and the build-up is a buzz of preparation. There is much to worry about but the star attraction is that juicy, savory turkey (I love the dark meat). Your relationship with your love should be this Turkey. Prepare your patience, finances, cooperation, in-law relationships. Prepare your temper and your jealousy. Get ready to work together as a united force. Once you believe your turkey is juicy, spicy, hot, crispy and stuffed with enough goodness to take on the hungriest, pickiest army… then you prepare the fixings. The homemade whipped cream wedding dress and the perfectly sage spiced mashed potato walls.
