Sometimes...

Sometimes good and bad things happen. Sometimes we don't know why. Sometimes God has a sense of humor. Sometimes we take a glimpse of our lives and wonder what lies ahead. Sometimes we have it all together and sometimes we don't. This blog is dedicated to every moment we have--because it reminds us we're alive.

• Sometimes I have a hankering to go to the beach and the best I can do is Utah Lake. At least I could put my feet in some water and not be in an office. Just a little taste of what it will feel like in two and a half weeks when I go on vacation to the Oregon coast.

• Sometimes everyone you know tries to help you feel better and you just end up pushing them away. Thanks to my friends and family who are trying. Pretty much thanks to anyone and everyone who is still talking to me. 
• Sometimes I think life will get better when (fill in the blank). But when it comes down to it, I'll always want something else to help me be happy. It's all part of the journey.
• Sometimes at work things don't go right. And then a group of three brothers comes in and makes it better because they're hilarious. Thanks to these guys for making me laugh. And for putting things in perspective. Just another growing experience...

• Sometimes I wonder why I'm not happy and I realize it's because I don't want to be happy yet. How irrational that someone wouldn't want to be happy. But it's true. How odd.
• Sometimes I feel like a fish drying out in this Utah desert.
• Sometimes I think of good analogies like the following: Working "behind the scenes" at BYU is a little like working "behind the scenes" at Disney. I'm honored to be a part of it, but also a little disenchanted. It takes away a little bit of the "magic." Just ask Megan....
• Speaking of Megan. Sometimes I am a mean boss and ask my employees to do gross jobs like clean the bumpers. Even when it ruins their pants. 

• Sometimes I make great Sunday dinners for my roommates and it surprises me that I can actually cook.

• Sometimes I realize how blatantly honest I am on my blog. I'm basically this honest with everyone all the time. It could get me in trouble, but it's also liberating.
• Sometimes this book makes me so so happy. 

• Sometimes I show up to work and I'm wearing the same pants as my coworker. Guess we know what's in style!

• Sometimes on my afternoon off from work I go to the Llama Fest with my brownie friend and her sisters. It was awesome to get away for a little bit and see life from a different perspective. Don't worry. I definitely bought a Llama shirt!

• Sometimes I take a break from work and see the 60th Anniversary showing of Singin' in the Rain in theaters. Definitely a good decision. 

• Always am I grateful to Heavenly Father that He allows me to learn lessons--be it the first time or after I've fallen flat on my face. Here's to learning a few more lessons in this life. And, almost more importantly, here's to vacation!
