REXBURG: A place of strangely homey basements and killer sidewalks

Well hello there family. It still really hasn't hit me that I live in Rexburg. It's kinda weird. I have been here for a week! I wanted to post of a few of my happenings and what my room looks like.

MY BED!! WHOO HOO!!!

So this is my room. It is really quite fabulous. Although I was accused of being a serial killer because I live down there. Personally I don't think it looks like a serial killers lair.... Too many cutsie things. The curtain in the window is going to become a t-shirt dress when I no longer need it as a curtain. It's super cute

fabric.  

My wall with all my stuff


See those cute baskets On The table below the mirror? I bought those at the dollar store and they are really cute. One has my makeup, one has my jewelry, and the other is my hair stuff. Then the green basket underneath has miscellaneous items and I bought a pop-up hamper! I am very pleased with my room!

T-shirt dress material? I think so...

MY fabulous table and Closet!

This Yellow table is soooo cute. I have stored all my random things in it!

So this next one would be my disgust at my toe. Last night after having a fabulously fun day with Mandy I was walking home alone in the dark. Rexburg has horrible sidewalk in some places. And these pictures are the result of Mia stumbling on some evil crumbling sidewalk.

Needless to say it was really gross and TMI: My sandal was COVERED in blood. Freaky!!!!!!

That really is all the rest of anything that has happened so far. Church was great today. It was nice to have somewhere to be and they were overjoyed that I can play the piano! So I am excited! I am going to an ice cream social on Thursday hopefully I can be super social lady. Well until next time! I love you all! 

Love,

-Mia

Sweet Family Moments

There are moments- sweet, tender moments- that visit all of our lives.  They sneak in quietly while we are busy living, and make us who we are, shape who we become.  They come to us, fill us up, make us laugh, make us cry, and change everything in the world. 
I remember being in the grocery store and pushing one cart full of children, and pulling another full of groceries. I remember sweet cheeks, rosy with sleep. Going to the purple and green park. Princess costumes. Trips to Thumb Tum (Tom Thumb)  to buy gummi watches as please-go-potty-in-the-toilet bribes. Never seeing the bottom of the laundry piles. I remember reading Madeline so many times I knew it by heart.  Scrambling for change because the Tooth Fairy needed to come. Buzz Lightyear.  Dandelion crowns. Chore lists. Afternoons at the beach.  I will never forget sewing Halloween costumes and Easter dresses.  Cloverland and the Grandfather Tree.  First days of school where I was the one who cried.   Concerts. So many concerts. Superhero costumes. Marching band.  Art projects.  Learning to drive!  Braces, prom, dates, friends.  Carving pumpkins. Decorating the Christmas tree. The Stockade. 
Working together, moving together, laughing together, making music together.  Oh, the music!  All of the precious moments, together.  It was happy.  And hard.  And wonderful!  Fleeting, fleeting moments that feel like forever, and then are past. 
 There is no way to prepare for how quickly they go. 
Just cherish the moments. Revel in them and save them in your heart and mind. 
Because in a flash- a turn of the head, an intake of breath- the moment is gone.  On to a new one.
There are moments in all of our lives. Sweet, tender moments that are here and then gone, but that change us forever.
