Katie and Emily by Jessica Peterson

A few weeks ago two of my wonderfully talented friends, Katie Bradeburg and Emily Brown played a beautiful show.  They are wonderful...
 




I like that Emily looks like an angel in this shot...

Cooking classes by Jessica Peterson

Ben was nice enough to come over to our place on Sunday evening and teach us gals how to cook.  
It was so delicious, especially the strawberry shortcake, I am not lying when I say it was the best thing I have ever had... 



*sorry not the best picture but it will do


*I love these people (hey claire, you are in my blog...)

I can't wait until today has passed by Jessica Peterson

I'm not sure why I am blogging about this right now...
I have had a very up and down day, but mostly down.  While driving home tonight I was excited to get home, hop into bed and wake up 6 hours later to a new day so I could start everything over but when I got here I came home to a surprise... Max got into the trash which was very full of old food and the bathroom trash which was very full of all sorts of fun bathroom stuff.  He somehow managed to cover every inch of floor with toilet paper, avocado peels, old cake mixes (we cleaned out the pantry of expired goods yesterday into the trash), soggy napkins... you name it, it was smashed into the rugs and sprinkled on the floor.  thank you dog, you know just what to do when I am having a bad day.

Does anyone want a dog?

Seriously.



this is me right now as I type.

Remember When. by Jessica Peterson

REMEMBER WHEN...
Today I have been feeling very bored, lackluster, monotonous, stiff, stuck, dry, dull, tedious... the list goes on.  Tonight I decided to start backing up images and organizing my hard drives, I found a folder of small jpegs titled "random jpegs"... they must be images I pulled for my blog or sized wrong and have been brushed aside for later cataloging... like for today.  It kind of hit me while looking through them that I have a lot to be grateful for and that I have had a lot of light, warmth and adventure in my short 26 years on this planet.  I pulled a few images over for my blog post of "Remember Whens", so I could have a small list of the more colorful, sweet times. 

Remember when my new niece fell asleep in my arms and I felt so blessed to have her in my life
Remember when Oliver and I picked out pumpkins for Halloween

Remember when little Jimmy makes me laugh more than any person on the planet,  I could stare at him for hours


Remember when we were obsessed with Guitar Hero 
Remember when I graduated and my friends came to support me
Remember these anyone?
Remember when Ryan agreed to swim with max while I took photos
Remember when I was able to take images of the most breathtaking moments of me life like this one
Remember when three of us were in the same city at once and it was New York and I love New York so much it hurts
Remember when I picked this guy up and he has been a turd

and then he grew up and he is still a turd

Remember when I ate a Navajo taco and I almost died but I didn't die so now I don't like Navajo tacos
Remember when I caught a fish, it was a small fish and we threw it back but I caught a fish
Remember when I was a showgirl in a movie, that is me in the middle

Remember when I was chased by a dinosaur 
Okay I feel better.

I am going be here... by Jessica Peterson

I made a list about 5 years ago of the things I need to do before I hit 30
Africa was on the list and so was serving in an orphanage 
I will soon be able to check those two off form the list
I am very:
 Excited
Relieved 
Blessed
Honored 
Happy

My Dough Girl: My new favorite by Jessica Peterson


For some reason I have never been to this place before today My Dough Girl. Honestly some if the best cookies I have ever had...

Each cookie is named after a certain pin-up girl. My favorite so far is the Vivianna, mangos and dark chocolate in a citrus dough... mmm.

this is the Judy, orange dough and cream cheese frosting. I loved the packaging too.

if you live in SLC you should check it out.
