Dear JM,

Please help me lose weight and be skinny.

Sincerely,
KW

I have something super exciting to share with all of you in the next few days.
(No, it's not what you're thinking it is)
But, for those of you who have been to my house, get ready. I promise you weren't expecting anything like this!

Did I tell you that my cute cousin, Katie, is getting married?
I don't think I did.
Well she is, to the amazing Tom (who treats her like a queen), and I could not be more excited for them.
December 19 is the day.
Can't believe it!

Congrats to the lovebirds, I'm so happy for you two. Love you both!
(C took their engagement pics up at Tom's family ranch. It was the most perfect fall day, and they could not have looked better. I'm completely obsessed with the pictures. He just took their bridals/groomals this past weekend, and I'm in love with them. They are amazing.)



Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Working, spending time with C, and planning bridal showers are taking up all of my time. Life sure is grand though.

It's pretty cool when you know people who have parties at Energy Solutions Arena. (This person is actually Cosmo's Utah Bachelor of the Year. Check it out here)
And it's also pretty cool when you get to stand on the Jazz court in your socks with the most amazing guy ever.
And then watch that guy play a pick-up game on that same court.
It's safe to say last night was absolutely awesome.
We're stoked for Jazz season to officially begin.

hahahah

This just made me laugh way too hard.

job

Sometimes, I really just want to quit my job.
I dislike being a teller.
Honestly. Really don't like it.
In hindsight, I should've turned the job down and said yes to another one I was offered 10 months ago.
My bad.
But ugh, I'm so over it.

I've got to find another job already.
I have been on the hunt for ages, and very aggressively these past couple days.
If anyone knows of anything, help a sister out? I'd love to actually do something I like. (aka editing, marketing, writing...)
Thanks!

tribute

On Saturday, September 8, 2012, heaven gained another angel, and the world lost one.

My dear, dear grandmother passed away—joined her eternal companion in heaven.

She had been having some health problems for a long time, and decided it was her time to go.

She was at home, in her chair, watching TV and making family Christmas lists.

She was ready.

What a remarkable lady. I'm so blessed to be related to such an incredible woman (and to slightly resemble her quiet beauty). 

She was a nurse, a Relief Society president, a devoted mother, and a perfect grandmother. 

She used to make the most amazing tacos for us every month, deep fried, with perfect taco sauce and delicious cheese. 

She would take me to TGI Friday's for my birthday every year when I was a kid (and make all the waiter's sing happy birthday to me), and then let me pick out a toy at the local toy store. 

She made the most incredible "Super Sauce" (hot chocolate sauce) for ice cream. 

She once told me, in her jokingly hilarious way, that I should probably elope because it would save my dad a lot of money one day. 

I will never forget the time we made her eat some "Pop Rocks" because she had never tasted them before, and as soon as she got them in her mouth, she started laughing, and ended up with tears streaming down her face because she was laughing so hard. 

She always bought us something from Land's End, or L.L. Bean for Christmas (usually pjs, a towel, or a canvas tote).

She always made sure we knew how much she loved us, every minute of every day.

I felt her spirit in the sunset tonight, and last night too. Her own peaceful way to tell me that everything will be okay, and again to remind me of how much she loves me.

I will miss her immensely, but I know she is in a better place, and I know that I will see her again someday. Love you Gram, you changed my life. Thank you for being so amazing.
