We’re just coming out of one of the most beautiful, snowy winters Utah has had in years and gone straight into the moodiest, rainiest spring that has greened everything up and brought out the loveliest blooms. The birds sing out their choruses each morning and dew drops sparkle over the grass as the sun reaches over the mountains to warm the earth.

I remember reading a children’s book when I was younger and it told you how to find rainbows: if the sun comes out while it’s still raining, turn your back toward the sun and you’ll find your rainbow. I felt like that was a secret that should have been told to me the moment I learned how to talk.

Right after New Year’s, we flew to Phoenix for Colton’s cousin’s wedding. It was so nice to get out of the cold for a few days. And I saw saguaros for the first time!! I’ve always loved cactuses in real life and art and jewelry, but I think I’ve found my new favorite cactus.

The first thing on my list was to go walk the Harvard campus and visit the museums there. I felt like such an imposter walking through the campus. There were college students everywhere, so I really blended right in, sans a backpack. But it’s Harvard, you know, the place where all the studies and smart people and high IQ and stuff come from? I felt like everyone knew I wasn’t actually enrolled there.

Alright, after my hiatus of blogging, I will try this again. We’ve done so many fun things this year and I want to remember them all! First off, a trip to San Francisco this past February. California holds so many memories for me. Yes, there are the family trips that I loved, when we went to Disneyland and Seaworld, but it is also the state that I have traveled to most often without my family. Two high school Music Department trips, where we smoked everyone in competitions for choir, orchestra, and band; one Disneyland trip with my best friend and her brother’s family; a trip with Colton’s family for a week-long stay at the beach; and the most recent, a college trip with my Murals class. I’d already graduated this past December but the trip was set for the end of February, so it was nice to see all my classmates again in a non-school setting.

We purchased our little bonsai tree a couple months ago, and thankfully it is still alive. We heard about the Utah Bonsai Club having a Bonsai Show at Red Butte Gardens, so naturally we really wanted to go.
