Why did God give us two hands?

As Brad Anderson, a distance coach at Davis, would answer- "to be able to carry two trophies."

This weekend, I would say that for the Davis High track team that is exactly why. 

It was an honor to be a part of such an amazing program these past six months and to be able to see so much heart, character, and hard work finally pay off as both the boys and girls walked off the track at the end of the meet with first place trophies. 


That's kind of a big deal.  

It was a great day to be a Dart!

I just gotta say-

I love working at Subway- 

the place where even the vegetables are happy to be there.

mother of mine

I tried to get creative for Mother's Day this year and here's what came out of it:

Me and the sibs had a fun little photo shoot last Sunday where we each took one letter from LOVE and spelled it out-

Cute? I think it turned out alright and they look great in the frames. 

It's kind of convenient there are four units of us. And that we're pret ty good looking (we get that from our mom).

Anything for the woman who gave us life.

Love you to the moon and back, Mom!

the good news

And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: 

That he lives!

...That by him and through him and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.

I've been away.

Wow. It's funny how life can snatch you up and carry you away- then one morning you wake up and realize you can't run the half marathon you signed up for because your legs are broken, you haven't put sheets on your bed in two weeks, your pile of laundry in the corner has reached critical max point, you haven't blogged in weeks, and you have little reminder notes written in pen all over your hand and arm like jail tattoos and you can't remember what any of them mean. But you're happy.   

OK- enough about me and my excuses. I'm just sorry I took so long to tell you about these two little treasures I have discovered lately that have been a part of making my life so good.

As you know, I am quite a sucker for all things summer and sunshine, so naturally I was completely sold when I stumbled across this pair:

First- meet Sundrop. It is a product of Dr. Pepper and IMHO (in my humble opinion) infinitely better than Mountain Dew- its Pepsi lookalike. And I'll be honest- it's probably because of the name, and probably because of this commercial:

 

It had me out late one night searching to the ends of the earth for it and dragging my poor friend Mark along with me. 

Next- Bath and Body Works never fails you- kindly welcome one of their newer scents: Forever Sunshine. Isn't that adorable? I was all over this stuff in about a half a second of walking into the store. I drench myself in it all day every day now. 

To Dr. Pepper and Bath and Body I say- well played. My hat goes off to you. You have a customer for life.

just a note

To my dear future husband:
My honey bunchkin lover bunny- 
I am in no rush to get married. I still need to backpack Europe and Peru. And you obviously aren't in any rush either or else you would have found me by now. But tonight I legitimately got asked out by an 18 year old. This has got to stop. I don't mind dating you for a while before we tie the knot. Honestly. Just get me out of this. Where are you?!?
Lovingly,
L

Guys. I had another one of those "boys drool" moments a few weeks ago. Here's how this conversation went:

I was doing my coaching thing with my track kiddies up in the weight room and one of the other coaches, who is a male, was also in there doing the coaching thing too. 

He went over and stepped up onto the scale and exclaims, "Hey guys! I weigh 30 pounds more than I did in high school! That's great!"

I, a little curious, went over and weighed myself. To my horror, I found out, "Hey, I do too...."

Awesome.
