"I believe in pink.

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.

I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

~ Audrey Hepburn

Can I get a do-over?

I literally just woke up from a much needed nap.

Had no clue what day it was, I was out. I had to look at my calender to remind me.

It's been one of those days that we all have and want to pretend don't exist.

Last night I got 2 and a half hours of sleep due to a work deadline. As I was working into the wee hours of the morning all I could think of was how much I longed to be a kid again.

Where deadlines didn't nag at us, headaches from lack of sleep never occurred and life was just simple.

On rainy days like it was today, that's when I really want to be a kid again. I admit I had a charmed life as a kid. I'd come home from school to my mom's yummy homemade bread or cookies fresh out of the oven, we were welcomed home with a hug and would plop ourselves on the couch for a bit of t.v. time.

Oh it was truly splendid!

Those were the days.

But for now--grown-up life-- I'll settle for a little relaxing time catching up on Hulu with some shows and my comfy sweats and the reassurance that tomorrow is a new day--thank goodness!

State Fair

I don't remember the last time I stepped foot on the Utah State Fair grounds, perhaps because I never have or it'd been since elementary school. Either way, I am pretty sure I would have remembered the smells of fried food, livestock, mullets, & pig racing amongst other great spectacles. It was good entertainment alright, the people watching was spectacular, bringing out Utah's finest and classiest people. The food was drenched in fat, and don't worry that I fully planned on consuming and enjoying. The funnel cake with bavarian cream was divine, although right after I wasn't feeling so divine. All in all though, the state fair lived up to its expectations--who knows, I might be back next year for some more of all my favorites.

Happy Birthday and farewell for now...

Just a little Birthday shout out to my twin brother's Michael & Peter {aka Mic n' Pitt by me}.

These 2 goofballs will be missed around these parts. They are quite the talented lacrosse players and got scholarships to go play for Adams State in Colorado.

I guess that's a good enough excuse to leave.

Until the next happy reunion when we can hear them do this:

Obsessed

I can't seem to get enough of this song...

oh and this one too...

Yes I do realize these are the oddest music video's, but the music, just focus on that!

Oh and be forewarned, Sia is sporting quite the snaggle tooth.

No laboring at all.

Labor Day weekend is all about soaking up the last bit of summer before it slips away into the chilly autumn.

Soaking it up is what I made sure to do. Indian food with friends, first BYU football game of the season,{might I add it'd been years for me and I thoroughly enjoyed the game and eye candy of course}In n' Out burger, pool time, baseball game. I crammed it all in, making sure that summer's last weekend was well worth it.

So I bid farewell to all my summer favorites for the next 8 months or so and gear up for all the loves I have of the upcoming autumn.

Loving these...

Life is Beautiful

Things are good here on the Bev front.

I am just happy.

There's a little skip in my walk, I find myself smiling all of the time, life is just good and I'm loving it.

I can't say I was feeling the same way a year ago. I was in such a different place, my heart was wounded and I thought I would never recooperate--little dramatic I know, but I'm a girl.

But life has a funny way of fixing itself. My heart has mended, time has healed my wounds and I feel like I've been reborn again.

I know who I am and what I want.

I'm excited for the moment--of things developing with people, work, and so many other situations.

I'm excited for the future as well and to see what it has in store for me.

Life is not perfect, in the least. But I've learned to not grasp too tightly and let things come as they will in their due time.

Simply put: Life is beautiful!
