Things that have made my day/week:

Tide Simple Pleasures Laundry Detergent in Vanilla and Lavender -

Note: I found this in Wal-Mart in Reno and have sense fallen in love. It smells amazing. I think I liked it initially when I was on a kick to find anything with the word relaxing on the bottle. I figured if I didn't have legitimate time to relax, I might as well get products to help me do that if I was going to spend the time anyways. Either way - I'm sold...

Carolyn -

Note: She does not, in fact, have blurred hands, but this picture was of her throwing leaves in the air.

Maria -

Note: Maria is on the left... and Ty was demonstrating some kind of inside joke from clue charades from that night. This is cropped from a group picture and nobody knew that Ty was doing this... also he is about as far from gay as you can possibly be... I tried to find a good picture of Maria and it just so happened that this was perfect and I couldn't crop Ty out...

and My Parents...

Note: Don't they look so happy?! This is at the Oakland Temple when my parents came to visit me last April or May. I just love them so much!
