Do I live in Seattle?

It is no surprise that Mother Nature is very hormonal lately with all of the rain, tornado's, record low temps and high temps all over the place in the country.

Although I am very happy that I don't have to deal with my house being picked up by high winds, I am so so so sick of this dreaded rain!

It rains and rains and rains here in Utah and although it does make everything look so green and lush, it's a bit annoying and depressing. I felt like I won the lottery when it didn't rain this past Saturday for my little paella shin-dig{pics to come later}. But now it's back to rain.

In other interesting news I woke up yesterday morning with my left eye swollen and this morning it is still swolen and smaller than my right eye. I feel uber unattractive at the moment because I look like Quasimoto.

Ah good times!

On the road...

There's nothing quite as liberating as getting in the car and driving away for the weekend. Over the weekend I went to Colorado to help my brothers move back to Utah.

I always like to mix pleasure in with work because it makes life much more enjoyable. It was a great time hiking, going to see the largest sand dunes in the nation, have guitar jam sessions, making yummy shrimp tacos, face masks with the sister missionaries and of course getting hungry on the ride home and in despair stopping off at Burger King.

I think road trips are always an adventure to be had.

{ps. Remember when gas was that cheap? I miss those days.}

Blossoms

Without fail it happens every spring--I get giddy at saying farewell to winter.

I look forward to the scent of lilac bushes with the gentle breezes.

The feeling of the sun on my face--oh how I've missed it.

The smell of fresh cut grass.

Flowers in bloom and my favorite cherry blossoms.

The excitement that the summer months are around the corner.

Year after year the anticipation of it all never fades.

Just Dance

Every Tuesday night you'll find me dancing the evening away at hip-hop class with some of my good friends. We laugh, we dance, and we repeat that for an hour.

We've been working on a dance that we'll be performing in June...ah I get butterflies thinking about performing in front of others, but I need to just feel the beat and forget about the rest.

Hit me with your best shot.

Last night I got hit on with this line:

"Mmmm...you're so sexy your like butter and I'm the wonder bread. I want to spread you all over."

My response:

"Hmmmm....I don't like wonder bread, but thanks."

I gotta give him credit for trying--plus it gave me a good laugh, but seriously what a nasty pick-up line!

5k

April showers...oh wait in Utah that means snow. But nonetheless we Santamaria women went out and ran a 5k at Wheeler Farms on Saturday morning. It was a good time all around and any excuse to spend time with these lovely ladies is always a pleasure.
