fun fact: i am one of only 4 cousins who do not live in texas, and there are a lot of us. we are a pretty tight knit group. i’m gonna miss my family this christmas, but it was so good to be able to see everyone over thanksgiving. how many families discuss time travel and alternate dimensions? i’m so happy to be related to some of my favorite people on the planet.

will accept payment for sanity

the knowledge that certain inexplicably famous folk were reportedly paid $17.2 million for their sham wedding, and will undoubtedly make countless more to talk about their inevitable divorce, has my mind reeling. does anyone want to pay me to talk about my happy marriage of three years that my husband and i work hard at every day to keep healthy and fulfilling? …anyone? …anyone? ...

hopeandtim: This is a collection of songs that were recorded over the course of a few days with Dan Clark at Green Street studios. With their perfections and imperfections, most of these songs are in their earliest and most naked forms, but we are so proud of them that we wanted to give you a listen. They’re totally free, so if you like it, share it. That’s all we ask. :)

i was in a bus accident in the 3rd grade. though my parents did not heed the advice given by medical personnel to give us a day at home to recoup from the shock, they’re rebellion (and undoubted faith in our resilience) resulted in my being interviewed by the local news. hot pink shirt, sun-bleached hair, killer perm, meet hope longwell.

i just wrote my first letter to the editor, and mayor, over this lovely little piece of real estate: http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=17261353 call me a weenie, but this thing gives me the heebies. I understand that Utahans have an unbridled love for Halloween. It’s abnormal, but endearing, in a twisted sort of way. However, do we really want a giant statue of death to be the first...

polar partnerships

tim is a last-minute kind of guy, and i am the farthest thing from a last-minute kind of gal. i am a P-l-a-n-n-e-r (so much so that i actually capitalized that “p”). last minute changes make me really anxious, and i like to have either total control or zero control over a situation. any gray area makes me anxious that i am overstepping my bounds or not doing enough. that being said,...

two ladies i really love became mommies this past weekend (and another mommy was made as i was writing this last night!), and my heart is bursting. is it weird to say that the tighter our budget gets, the happier i feel? don’t get me wrong, i am praying for tim to get a crazy awesome job (and soon!), but my life is RICH. ps: and even another friend got the go-ahead to pack her bags for...

light bulb moments

husband: i think i'm gonna try something new. if my clothes aren't dirty after i wear them, i'm gonna start folding them.
wife: {laughing} that's a really great idea.
husband: is that what you do?
wife: that's what most of the world does.

random thoughts v.3

i get a big ‘ole goofy grin anytime someone calls me “mrs. glenn.” i used the phrase “when i was in my early twenties” for the first time this weekend. community service is fun, especially when your community gives you free beer for serving.

tim and i had a modern day mexican stand-off last night: i threatened to throw away my birth control. he threatened to let me. i ended up taking the dang pill. beyonce just looks so cute pregnant, and we’re the same age, and i was jealous, and… will someone just please give tim a job already?!

feeling a little crazy and discombobulated today. wishing i could sip a glass of wine with my eyes closed and listen to this on repeat. so far, i’ve only managed to accomplish the latter. edit: apparently, the medicine i took this morning contained caffeine, and i swallowed it down with 2 cups of coffee. after a hearty lunch, my crazy has been contained.
