Okay… trying to get back into the swing of things around here! Our schedule has so off, and before I realize it, another day (or week) has passed! I have some fun stuff in the works though, so stay tuned!

A few weeks ago, my friend Chelsey did a post back on the last 10 years. And it really got me thinking. Wow. Its 2010. Already… And that got me thinking about all that has happened during the last decade. And how much my life has changed.

10 years ago…
i was in high school… and skipping morning math class once a week {or more} to go to breakfast with my friends.
life revolved around friends, shopping and having fun.
i thought i had it all planned out.
but i had no idea…

then i learned. i lived. and now… 10 years later…
i have met the man i will share the rest of my life with.
i am a mother.
my photography. a dream… that somehow found me. and i love it.
i no longer think i have life all figured out. because when i think i do, life changes.
treasure each day.
see the beauty.
because we dont know what tomorrow will bring.
and that makes each day precious.

here’s to another wonderful 10 years!

and… because i cant post without a photo… here is one from a few weeks ago. my hubby had knee surgery in park city… and because he was still kind of drugged on our drive home… i pulled over, got my car stuck in the snow (thank goodness for 4WHD!) and climbed into knee deep snow drifts to get some shots… this was one of them. and… i thought it was kind of fitting anyway… changing of the seasons…

So. This Five on Friday… I first read about it on Chelsey’s blog probably about… ohhh… 2 months ago. And every friday I intended to post. Really. And then I needed to fold laundry. Or, tame the downpour that so happened to be under our sink. Then after three million other excuses (that you probably dont want to know about) I decided to join in too.

So… here it goes.

1. Do you read Nie? She is like a breath of fresh air. And after her accident, and the challenges she contiunes to face- wow- what an inspiration she is! Well… a while ago, she talked about the Sweet Tooth Fairy. A cupcake shop in Provo. I was down there recently, and I just had to stop in. Just to see what it was about. Is there anything better than a va-NIE-lla cupcake? I think not. In fact, for a minute, I thought I was in heaven. Its that good.

2. Cleaning the kids’ playroom. I think I disappeared for a few days there. But, I made it back in one peice. Thankfully.

3. The cold. Im learning to embrace it. Well, as much as I possibly can. I even took Amy outside. We lasted about 10 minutes before calling it quits, and coming upstairs for a cup of hot cider. But I did get this shot. *sigh… it makes me actually like winter. Just a little bit.

4. Anthropologie. Oh, Anthropologie. I love you. And I find way too much that I like. Like the $6,000 couch.

5. To-do lists. I make one every single day. Im lucky if I cross off one or two things. Then… I forget I have one. And I get sidetracked… So I try again the next day.
