let them say of me ...

Happy Fourth of July, my American friends! I stumbled across this patriotic song (from Norah Jones) a few weeks ago and I absolutely fell in love with it. I love my country and all that she stands for. May we always give her our very best. 

Let them say of me

I was one who believed

In sharing the blessings

I recieved

Let me know in my heart

When my days are through

America

America

I gave my best to you

"American Anthem" by Norah Jones

atlanta: soaking up the sun

While it was snowing in Utah, it was so nice to soak up some sun in Atlanta. I loved spending so much time outside. Seeing less than an hour of sun during my work days was making me pretty stir crazy! 

They are the cutest. 

Feeling tropical vibes.

More bubbles!

I just love him so much. 

The night's activities included authentic Southern chicken (not with waffles ... guys, I just can't) and The Mindy Project, my favorite show. Introducing Allie to the wonderful world of Mindy is on my list of top ten best life decisions. Getting/sending hilarious quotes from the show is one of my favorite things.

"You'll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things."
