Tomorrow I will be in Reno, Nevada. Then California.
CALIFORNIA for 10 days.
The International Folk Dance Ensemble (the dance group at BYU I am so blessed to be a part of) is leaving for their mid-semester tour tomorrow. 5 a.m. I might add. It will be lovely. I am excited to leave this frigid place called Provo and escape for a bit. It will be the first spring break in four year for me. Lame BYU! It's a miracle people don't go mad at this University.
That's all. Just wanted you to know that I'm leaving for a slightly warmer climate.

Breathing
I learned a really cool trick in preschool. It's called breathing.
We sit there, after doing the "Wiggle, wiggle" dance and bring our hands up as we breath in, then down as we exhale. We do this three times. The fourth time, we do it silently. I can not tell you how much this calms me down.
Sometimes I get a little bit stressed. And even though being engaged is quite fantastic and I'm still kinda in la la land, planning a wedding is a tad bit stressful. Really, who decided that we had to mail invitations, pick colors or a "theme", feed everyone, and spend hundreds of dollars on a cake. LAME-O. After they sat down and commercialized love on Valentine's day, did they commercialize the wedding? Truth be told, I already have these silly things checked off my to-do list. And yes, it is going to be really pretty. And you can all come. It's in May. And yes, Brooke dear, I will give you the story and other fantastic tidbits soon.
BUT...It's still stressful. So I breathe.
It has been helping. Meditating helps too. But I'm really really happy. And Tanner is really really wonderful. But breathing makes things really really better.

100
SO...This is supposed to be an epic post...
That 100 in the title means that this is my 100th post. That's kind of a big deal. I've been pondering for quite some time now what to post and what great insight I can give to all of you (my lovely 37 readers). I have really nothing to say that is profound or even inspiring.
So for now I'll just leave you with this lovely quote, in honor of Valentine's Day.
"Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate!" ~Sandra J. Dykes
Profound, I know. This is quite the 100th post.
Which by the way, I hate Valentine's Day. Not because I'm bitter about those years which I was single, because I love being single. Just don't expect a Valentine's Day post about love, because I have no feelings about it, except that I hate commercialized love, a lot. But I do love chocolate covered strawberries.
So that is what I will be doing with my fiance, I mean, Tanner...
Oh, did I mention I'm engaged?
