spring break: instagram style

teaching second grade whilst being pregnant sometimes kicks my butt.

i was very happy that i was able to benefit from the week long spring break.

here is how i spent it...

top left/right: gained a baby niece.  baby ivy... she is absolutely adorable.

bottom left: slowly starting to get babies nursery together. i am so indecisive about what i want

bottom right: thrifted this handmade gem... can't wait to put the baby in it.

top left: watched conference in a giant theater. love hearing the good words...find more about it at lds.org

top right: lots of time with family.  this was pure joy!

bottom left: glucose test. sickest thing of my life.  it literally tasted like sugary flat soda with a burning oil after taste.  good news though, all of my test came out good :)

bottom right: i went to park city dressed for spring, only to be welcomed by snow.  needless to say, i had to add socks to my wardrobe for warmth.

top left: i got to take a quick trip down south to the warmth with my mom and niece and nephews.  i'm teaching the baby to love the sun!! laying out at 29 weeks.

top right: perks of shopping with my mom...she bought me a new dress, so i took a selfie to show the husband who did not come on the trip.  i have a feeling i'm going to be wearing lots of dresses and skirts as the weather gets warmer.

bottom left: going out to dinner with my niece oaklee... we had twinner hair.

bottom right: completed two books over the break :)

i'm almost certain that there should be some sort of week long break every other week.  would you not agree?

and just because...

i'm obsessed with this song right now.

what are you currently doing?

the things i'm dreaming of.

i have diagnosed myself with ADD.

this semester it is so hard for me to focus and pay attention in class.

it's safe to say that i am either

-doodling

-talking to rachel

-playing on my phone

or

-day dreaming

while sitting in three hour long classes.

the funny thing is, is that i really am listening.  i feel like i get just as much as anyone else in the class.  i just have to be doing something else too.

lately, i've been dreaming of these lovely things...

lake powell. oh my favorite place on the earth. i am dying for summer to come so that i can go.

john mayer concerts. OH MY. the top two pictures are from when he came in 2008.  the bottom two are from when he came in 2010. you better believe i will be there if he comes again for his new CD.

please look at him, how could you not swoon?

disneyland and california adventures. may can not come soon enough!

and of course, the number one thing i day dream about is 

april 11, 2012

4:03pm

this is when i will see matthew at the airport for the first time in two years.

i play the scene over and over and over in my head of how i think it's going to go.

i'm gonna do my awkward squealing laugh penguin bobble, i just know it.

our reunion will be captured on film, so you can all enjoy it too.

haha only kidding, but on a very real note, i'm stoked enough for all of us.

music on a monday.

i just love music.

i love that there is a song for every mood and feeling.

i love finding songs that relate to my life at that certain moment.

today i am loving this song

Emmy Rossum - Slow Me Down

Rushing and racing

and running in circles

Moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose

Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning

Getting nowhere

My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic

Pace of the world

I just wish I could stop it

Try to appear like I've got it together

I'm falling apart

Save me

Somebody take my hand, and lead me

Slow me down

Don't let love pass me by

Just show me how

'Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down

Don't let me live a lie

Before my life flys by

I need you to slow me down

Sometimes I fear that I might dissapear

In the blur of fast forward I faulter again

Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep

I'm getting nowhere

All that I've missed I see in the reflection

Passed me while I wasn't paying attention

Tired of rushing, racing and running

I'm falling apart

Tell me

Oh won't you take my hand and lead me

Slow me down

Don't let love pass me by

Just show me how

'Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down

Don't let me live a lie

Before my life flys by

I need you to slow me down

Just show me

I need you to slow me down

The noise of the world is getting me caught up

Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it

Just need to breathe, somebody please

Slow me down

what songs do you love right now?
love,
amyLynn
