some of my favorite classes in college were the writing classes. My love affair with writing keeps me coming back to the world of blogging over and over again. Does anyone actually read this... I don't know, but I do it because it's something I love to do, which is what really matters after all, right!?
Anyway, these pasts few months I've spent on hiatus have been renewing, refreshing and rehabilitating all in one. It's been a bit of a bumpy ride, but in hindsight, a bumpy ride worth taking.
I rediscovered the joys of laughing as I took a lesson from this little guy as he took his first ride on a swing alone. He laughed and laughed {one of those deep belly laughs} like it was the greatest thing he had ever experienced. I just can't get enough of this little boy!
I need to laugh a lot more, just like this...
Then I rediscovered my love for beautiful places on a recent trip with my family to see the Brigham City temple. This is probably one of the prettiest temples I have ever visited. I was amazed by the intricate interior details mixed with the simplicity of the architecture. The over all design, inside and out, was incredible.
I also rediscovered the joys of family as I spent an afternoon in Park City with my dad. Lunch, Main Street and the outlet stores shopping for biking gear... yes, you read that right... shopping for biking gear. Now this is when I wish I had remembered to take a camera with me, but my dad has taken up biking, so we went to the Izumi outlet store in PC so he could find a pair of riding shorts. All was well until he burst from his dressing room wearing said shorts, while skipping around and singing a song about "men in tights". $#!*&@#!!! ...and of course there were other people in the store at the time. I almost died.
And most recently I rediscovered my love for creating. I'm not so much a crafter, but I do love creativity and artistry. I found this lovely project and tutorial on a favorite site and decided to try it out. I rediscovered why I love making things with my hands... it's incredibly therapeutic and it's always fun to learn a new technique.
Finally, I rediscovered authenticity. Friends, family, neighbors {basically everybody} are always telling me that I should blog about tutorials, open an Etsy shop or do design work on the side {which is so sweet, kind and flattering btw}. Maybe someday... but for now I'm enjoying life as a wife, mama, sister, daughter and friend. My love for design and beautiful creations will take me somewhere wonderful someday, I know that, but for right now I'm loving right where I'm at.
I recently discovered this wonderful creation by a friend of mine {she always makes the cutest things} and I wanted to share. Words of wisdom for sure and something I need to read every day. Now to find a frame and a spot to display it...
xo, Heather
