Where I grew up

I don't think I have ever said how much I love Portola Valley. I am honestly the luckiest girl ever for having lived in such a naturally beautiful town. My dream would be to move back one day. That dream is far fetched but at least my parents still live there so I can go back whenever I want. Utah is so blah this time of year, no longer covered in snow but nothing is really growing either, it is just brown. Spring in the bay area is absolutely gorgeous. I love that I am lucky enough to be home visiting my parents and enjoying this perfect place. Yes, i know..I sound all sappy but I just L-O-V-E it!!!

girls just want to have fun

Finally got around to looking through some of the pictures I took at Thanksgiving. The woman in my family sure are pretty. Think we look like we are related??

Verona Italy

I just purchased "Letters to Juliet" on DVD and I LOVE it. I saw it when it first came out, it was just as cheesy as I thought it would be, but made me fall in love with Italy all over again. I would really love to go back to Italy. There is so much I have not seen. Maybe I will just move there and live the laid back lifestyle I would be so good at :)
But really I want to go to Verona, I want to see the house of Juliet. I want to write a letter pouring my heart out. I know, I'm pathetic. It sounds so romantic to me. So therapeutic. I'm not even sure what my letter would say but lately I can think of nothing more perfect for how I have been feeling. Maybe one day I will get there. I will sit below that balcony and write the most amazing letter. But for now, I will just blog about it

Blue

For those that actually read my blog, what blue do you like the best? No I wont tell you what it is for until I can show you the finished product but please...what one???
I know its hard to tell but any input would be greatly appreciated!

Home is where the heart is

Moved into this place back in january. Think I will call it home for awhile

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

If this is really true then all 5 (I'm being generous) of my readers should LOVE me by now. Well I have a long weekend ahead of me with very few friends in town, I should get a lot of updating done. In the mean time, Happy All-star break!

A picture perfect home

Well its official! I have a new office and the Taylor's have an amazing house. This picture doesn't even begin to do it justice. Hillary is a wonderful designer, everything is perfect. Just wanted to show you all where I spend my days

Baby Baby Baby

KC came to utah a few weeks back and I finally got to meet baby Holland. She is absolutely adorable and I swear she really did like me. She was all smiles until the camera came out. KC is such a cute mom but it still seems unreal that my friend from way back when has a tiny version of herself. Holland looks exaclty like KC when she smiles, same dimples and all but the moment she is serious so looks like her dad. I'd say thats a pretty good mixing of DNA

Holland I loved meeting you, even if you wouldn't smile for the camera. KC, thanks for giving me 3 hours of your utah trip and for the pictures. Love you both!!!

Its amazing to me how our bodies and minds work. How we are capable of pushing aside pain and feelings until the proper time. Sometimes completely unaware of what is going on inside our own bodies. Im not saying I didnt know these feelings existed but I am surprised that I am able to surpress my feelings about Hutch. I know I miss him and how heartbreaking it is that he is gone, but until I sit and picture him in my head, I think im ok. The truth is when someone passes away we never forget and honestly I dont think anyone is ever ok. But life does go on and we are some how able to push our feelings aside. They never go away, and it is never made right but slowly we feel less and less. Until you stop and think

Thats my problem.

Im thinking.

It has been 2 years since Hutch passed away and as I let myself think of how much I love and miss him. How much I wish he could spend everyday with his beautiful wife and daughter. It hurts.

Kara- I can only imagine what it is like for you. I admire you so much for your strength and positive attitude.
