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.

So… How are everyone’s goals going so far? Did you trash them and think you can’t do this anymore? Did you forget you even made any? I’ve definitely been guilty of that before. In fact the last few years I didn’t even make any goals because I knew I wouldn’t keep them and why bother just disappointing myself?

Happy February everyone! We’ve made it through January, everyone’s least favorite month around here it seems. Our January actually flew by. The wedding was early January, then we visited with Colton’s mom a lot the week after because she’d had a hip replacement and his dad was on a work trip. Then at the end of that week Colton’s Grandpa Matheson passed away, and we took a trip down to Parowan for the funeral.

We adopted a little one-year-old Shih Tzu from a lady who could no longer care for him. She was really sad to give him away, but due to progressive illness she could no longer keep up with the demands of a puppy.

I turned 26 this past year, and nothing says getting older like a rainbow unicorn party and making everyone dress up with you.

The first time we saw an owl in the wild, we went ballistic. It was late dusk- practically dark. It was a little barn owl perched on a gate.

Read MoreI’ve been fortunate in life to have four cousins my same age. Growing up, we got into all sorts of mischief and giggle fits and every time we saw one another we begged and begged our parents to let us have sleepovers. There was a large family camping trip every single summer. Those are among my favorite memories. My cousins and I have sung loudly near the cliffs of the Grand Canyon, ate delicious Huckleberry Ice Cream at Glacier National Park, piled rocks at Mesa Verde, and made fun of some random girl’s thong in front of Mount Rushmore.

Sometimes I look at my outfits and I think, “This is a rainbow-flower-child outfit if I ever did see one. But the top is in style… And so are the bottoms… maybe not together… This will probably only be in for a few more years. Good thing I jumped on the bandwagon now… Definitely going to be one of those WTF outfits my kids or nieces and nephews see someday.”

We live in a desert, next to mountains that are amazingly grand. I love the endless, rolling expanse of sage with pale, periwinkle peaks in the distance. But I’ve also fallen in love with our marshy bird refuges.

[February 2015]
It’s warm.
It’s very warm.
We’ve had no snow, which means our water supply will inevitably be cut short this year.

I’ve been a little MIA lately, but I blame it on Colton and I graduating and planning all our summer trips. And I’ve also flown to two sides of the U.S. and the other side of the world in the past three months, and the thought about organizing all those pictures and typing up posts can be rather daunting sometimes. 🙂
