A Day Late, A Buck Short

The title of this post really has nothing to do with the post itself. It is simply a line from a song I've listened to quite a bit lately.
I haven't updated this in quite some time, and for that I apologize. I doubt anyone even reads it anymore, ha ha ha... Nonetheless, I thought I'd give a little update about what has been going on in my life.

First and foremost, my computer is dead, DeAd, DEAD. It doesn't recognize the hard drive is even in the computer, thus making it impossible for Windows to load. I blame the "disk clean-up" I did just before it crashed. {Insert a classic "Rawr" here} I will be buying a new hard drive in the next few weeks and then life should be business as usual. The hard part is that I can't upload or edit any pictures until my computer is fixed. I also can't update my iPod. Oh yeah, that's another thing.... Because it had been a few months since I last backed up my hard drive to my external hard drive, I've lost tons of music, and even more photos. Booooo!!! I guess that means I'll have to do some more PHOTOSHOOTS!! :) Any takers??? :)

In terms of "the guy scene" in my life...Well, let's just say it's kind of chaotic. Over the last few months I have also learned that you should say what's on your mind. I have found the line in "My Best Friend's Wedding" to be more true than I originally realized; "When you love someone, you SAY IT! Right then! Out loud! Otherwise, the moment just...passes you by."
There isn't much worse than finding out a few years down the line that the other person cared about you back then, too, but nothing was done about it for WHATEVER reason.

A few months ago I was talking with a friend of mine who served his mission in Minnesota (he actually taught me the discussions when I was first investigating the church!) and he gave me what was maybe the biggest compliment of my life. Backstory: I was completely in love with this kid for like, 3 years....After he finished his mission, he came back to Utah (where he's from) and we kept in touch. He came back to Minnesota once for a wedding and took me as his date. The kid is a rockstar. Funny, caring, genuine....Just an all around great guy. Well, he eventually got married and started a family of his own. He now has 4 awesome kids and his wife is a doll! We still keep in touch sometimes. Like I said, a few months ago we were talking on the phone and he said, "Sarah....Don't take this the wrong way, I am completely in love with my wife and kids and I wouldn't trade them for the world, but sometimes I feel like I missed out on dating you and I wish we would have given it a shot." I think when he said that, my heart stopped for a second. I guess I'm always so afraid of what would happen to the friendship if I tell someone how I feel about them and they don't feel the same way, so I typically don't say anything to them about it. I think it's maybe almost WORSE to find out later that what you hoped could have been, really COULD HAVE been.... Blahhhh...

So maybe "A day late, a buck short" really did apply to the post after all, haha...

Photos

I am thinking about going to Provo today to take photos up around Bridal Veil Falls.... Anyone care to join? :)

Secrets, Secrets...

I feel like I have been let in on the World's best kept secret. :)

Pioneer Day

Well it's Pioneer Day here in Utah, but the festivities seemed to start last night.
I was at Temple Square taking photos and doing some personal reflecting last night, and suddenly I heard some loud noises coming from the right. I turned my head to see what it was and there were fireworks going off. Constant fireworks for about 15 minutes. I guess last night wasn't the best night for quiet reflection on Temple grounds, ha ha.

Tonight John Allred is performing at a park up here and I am definitely going to go. What day would be complete without a little music from John Allred? :)

Tomorrow I want to go to Bridal Veil Falls and BYU campus and have a photoshoot with a few friends; hopefully that pans out.

Not much to update on at this point. Will write more when I actually have something interesting to say.

Love ya'll.

Butterflies

I've got butterflies in my tummy & I'm crushing on someone yummy. :)
Okay, okay... so not everyone agrees with me on that, but it doesn't matter.
I don't see the world through anyone's eyes but my own...
And when I look at him,

I see someone BEAUTIFUL!

What Was Once Deemed "Unconstitutional"...

What was once deemed "unconstitutional" is now apparently "constitutional" again????

Someone please explain to me how when CHARLES MANSON (who killed/commanded his followers to kill AT LEAST NINE PEOPLE) was sentenced to death it was OVERTURNED the following year because it was deemed "unconstitutional" -- yet SCOTT PETERSON, who was convicted of supposedly killing his wife and unborn baby, HE DID get the death penalty????? THEY ARE IN THE SAME PRISON!!!! THEY ARE *BOTH* AT SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON!!!! how is it "unconstitutional" for ONE PERSON, but completely legit for the other???????

I am LIVID!!!!!!!

****correction: Charles Manson WAS at San Quentin Prison, but was transfered to California's Corcoran State Prison in 1989.

Irony

You know what's ironic? I think Scott Peterson is innocent of the crimes he is incarcerated for, yet when I read Sharon Rocha's (Laci Peterson's Mom) book "For Laci" I can't stop tears from rolling down my cheeks.

The whole story just makes me sad.

Sometimes I long to have lived in simpler times.
