babies

i saw this documentary last night.
this is what i took away from it:

babies are cute. and they're all the same. and it's not that hard to survive. and america is stupid. (jk, i already thought that. ....jk.)

mum

exerpt from a mothers day talk given today in church:

"my friend and her mother left the church when we were sophomores in high school. she started hanging out with a new group of friends and it left me rather lonely. a few months later, my old friend asked me to go to a movie with her and some other friends on sunday. not wanting to sound like a goodie goodie, i accepted the invitation. i went home and told my mom i would be seeing a movie that sunday."

i sighed expecting to hear this:

"my mom gently told me that the sabbath was a holy day and that we don't work or make other people work, therefore don't go to movies on sunday. i trusted her advice, prayed and felt peace about it, told my friend i couldn't go, and was blessed with new friends by not making a bad decision."

much to my surprise, that's not what she said! instead it went something like this:

"first she looked at me with questioning, but then her face turned to a look of empathy. she knew how lonely i had been. she didn't feel the need to lecture me because she had taught me the principles of the gospel and trusted me to make my own choices."

now THAT'S a good mom. and a good talk.

a tribute in haiku

marty is so cool
has red hair and a cute face
what is he mixed with?

loves his daddy
totally obsessed with me
can't serve two masters

today's his birthday
luckily he will stay small
no matter how old 

marty is my clone
hesitant 'bout his species
loves the opposite

he's obsessed with food
that, he gets from me also
we're chubby bunnies

dog parks are lovely
when it's sunny in utah
marty runs so fast

his girlfriend, mama
pomeranian corgi
she's gentle with him

best day of his life
was on the beach in cali
he loves warm weather

his soul is so pure
he's infinitely loving
he is my best friend

i love you, my sweet birthday boy.

mush

soo.. is it just me, or is wedding fever in the air? i don't know if it was the royal wedding (that dress!) or the fact that my baby sister is tying the knot in 1 MONTH but i am feeling all lovey dovey and it's making me miss that special day of my own that happened almost exactly 8 months ago. let's reminisce, shall we?
