since it has been an eternity since i wrote any "jamie-isms" i thought it was about time.
yesterday we went to lunch and half way through i realized i had been wearing my shirt/tunic thing inside out...
j: that is how you know your clothes are too fancy, if you can't tell immediately which side is right.
the man is wise i tell ya.
also, just wanted to document it and tell the world that i LOVE my hubs! we have both been down with a nasty stomach flu AND we are both soda sober!!! as a result we have both been super sore. so yesterday he texted me and let me know he had gotten me a massage-what a guy!
darren is so much fun. i love our super-uno tournaments that last hours before bed (and usually end in 1/2 of us being angry), i love his humor, i LOVE his optimism and perseverance, i love his generosity and kindness. i also love watching better off ted and how i met your mother with him at night and hearing his giggle-it is charming.

boss man
i love my dad.
so, so, so many reasons.
i thought i would write down a few.
a few weeks ago i got to go to my cabin with just my dad...it was amazing. we took a tire off our back-hoe (bigger than i imagined it would be) but struggled getting the nuts and bolts off so i got a quick physics lesson in leverage as my dad used a fencing pole to get those suckers off.
we rode bikes all over the red earth that night, through the most magnificent summer sunset.
that night we slept on the balcony and my dad sang me hymns as i fell asleep. i love his voice. this took me back to climbing the grand with my dad and sister-we had been hiking for an eternity and still we were not to the upper saddle, feeling positive i could not go on, my dad whipped out his harmonica and played "if you could hie to kolob" as we hiked the last few miles.
just last night we went on a little date to look at horses...we sold the horse that got me through my early 20's. my dad saw i was struggling and had the idea to bring the horse up to lehi so i could ride him 4-5 times a week. it was one of my favorite summers, thanks to my daddy.
anyway, we went to see how this horse was doing last night. the little girl who got him adores him and dotes on him and brings him treats, he is in heaven. and truth be told, she runs him on the barrels 10 x better than i ever did.
before we left to the stable my dad looked at me and told me to take his new convertible, put the top down and enjoy the perfect evening and he would take my car and meet me there.
i love so many things about my dad but my favorite thing is spending time with him, and he is so generous with his time.

so long, farewell!
i said goodbye to one of my dearest friends last week. this friend has ALWAYS been there for me... good days and bad, to celebrate or just to hang out, before tests, after tests, and always around for my drive home.
i always have been able to find reasons or occasions to bring this friend around me, because just the presence- i found heavenly.
but, truthfully there came a point in my life where my happiness depended on this friend... i even smuggled this friend to girls camp because i knew i could not go 5 days alone (i was too scared to try to smuggle on trek, it was a LONG three days).
it was time to cut the cord from this dear friend that i became so dependent on. it has been a tough week. my body aches from the separation and my head has been pounding. i have wondered if i really needed to to take such serious measures...
but today has been one week exactly, and i feel amazing! so long diet coke!!!
