the best.

i'm pretty sure being an aunt is one of the greatest things ever. my niece and nephew are the greatest..and make me so happy!! the other day they were over for the superbowl, and my little nephew matthew was SO cute. he gave me a hug goodbye and said "i am always sad when i come over and you're not here." it was so adorable!! he is such a sweet kid.

and my niece is grace is just as amazing!! she loves giving kisses, playing  peek a boo, and as of sunday, being covered in stuffed animals.

they are pretty much the coolest kids around.

weekend in pictures.

it was a lovely quiet weekend for me, consisting of double dates, homemade fajitas, despicable me, live music, working, superbowl fun with the family, how to train your dragon, and sunday mornings reading the paper. here's a couple shots i managed to take along the way.

watching my friends band the descriptive play an acoustic set in ogden.

sundays with my favorite shift, laura. [who is also who i went on the double date with on friday.]

learned to play texas holdem...and might be kind of addicted to it already.

football shaped rolls for our superbowl party.
[go packers!]

nerdin' out with my favorite nephew.

life is wonderful.

quote of the week.

we can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. it's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

yay!!

today a good friend of mine turns twenty two!! miss emily beth was one of my best friends in logan, and probably the only girl who really matters to me at all [no offense anyone]. i love her to death and have been so glad to see how happy she has been in the past year!

happy birthday emily!! i hope it's a wonderful day, cuz you totally deserve it! i swear just yesterday you turned twenty one, we were having many adventures at the perengarvis household..ah bittersweet memories!

i love you.

lovely music for your week.

despite how busy i've been these past couple weeks, i've still managed to find some time to discover some new favorite music groups. here's some i think you ought to give a listen!

 

good old war

my good friend aaron showed me this band a few days ago, and i am a huge fan. my favorite song i've heard is tell me.  it's an amazing song and really goes with the acoustic mood i've been in lately!

 

he is we

i have never gotten obsessed with a band so fast. he is we is a lovely band from tacoma, washington (why are all the great bands from the northwest!? must be the rain). the main singer, rachel taylor, has a voice comparable to lydia's mindy white (who we all know i'm obsessed with, so that's saying something!). be sure to listen to my favorite song, forever and ever.

  

deas vail

another great band that i was introduced to recently, these guys are from arkansas and have many lovely tunes. they get compared to death cab for cutie quite often and i can definitely see it. my favorite song i've heard so far is excuses.

all of these lovely bands have made my busy busy weeks far better by keeping me company on my long drives to school and work.

check em out. 

fink

i don't much about this guy, except that he's awesome. i heard this song at my work the other day and just had to go home and buy it! it's sooo good and i love everything else i've heard by him as well.
