day eight.

the snow! the snow! {and a garage}

what is more magical than waking up to find a blanket of snow covering the ground and the trees and the mountains??!! i loved my drive to work today. i don't know if i would like the snow as much if i didn't have a garage to keep my car dry & warm, though :)

day seven.

this little baby doll.

i can't believe how drastically your life can change so quickly. and what a wonderful change. i love this little girl to pieces. her giggles make me so happy. i'm so grateful for my sweet serena.

and speaking of music...

tickets available here.

day six.

{a little late on posting this, i know :)}

music.

what would my life be without music??

i love it in mostly all forms. classical. pop. alternative. jazz. country. opera. choral. etc.

i sang with a choir a few years ago that was one of the best experiences of my life. i get all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. the music was amazing. the singers were amazing. performing with them was amazing. it was so rewarding and just filled up the part of me that needs to be filled up with music. i still am depressed that it had to end.

earlier this year i saw madame butterfly with my mom and it will always be one of my favorite memories. it was just so so so beautiful {like the kind of beautiful that makes my heart ache a little... is that weird?}.

hearing the salt lake children's choir every year completes my christmas season.

the lyrics of where can i turn for peace? have so much significance to me.

some of my favorite memories are singing at the piano at my grandma's house with my sister.

i could go on and on and on and on.

music is a huge part of my life. i am so grateful for the wonderful experiences that have come to me through music.

day five.

these ladies.

we've been best buddies since elementary school. i can't believe 3 of us are mommies now and one more in march! how time flies.

you girls are goofballs and i love you ♥
