Snow, snow, go away, come again another day...

Today is snowy.  Very snowy.  As I walked to campus with my pink polka dot umbrella (that my lovely roommate, Tiff, gave to me) I noticed a strange phenomenon.  NO ONE else had an umbrella.  And let me tell you folks, it was snowing pretty heavily.  Since I've been in Utah I've noticed that no one really uses umbrellas in the snow.  In fact, it's looked down upon.  I could see what was going through everyone's head. Why is that girl wearing an umbrella?  Is she high maintenance? It's SNOWING...why would someone wear an umbrella in the snow?? On rainy days here in Provo, everyone has an umbrella.  Hm. Just a random thought slash wonder of the day.  Should I lose the umbrella on snowy days??

I, Heather Neeley, use an umbrella in the snow.  Proudly.

Happy Valentines Day!

I know, I know, I'm a little late on the whole v-day thing.  I've had NO TIME...at allll...to write.  So without further ado, 

I think that I may be a sucker for love.  You guys.  Seriously.

-The unconditional love of my parents has motivated me to be a better person.  My mom is the most selfless woman on this planet.  I don't think she does one thing for herself.  Her love for her family is such an example to me.  My dad is such a gentle and kind person.  He is an honest and good man who works hard to take care of his family.

-I love my siblings.  Through the hair pulling, the fake fire drills (my brothers would make us jump out the 2nd floor window of our house for "fire drills"), the finger nail fights, the broken bones, the marriages, the births, the funny moments, the holidays, and the unexpected, we have loved each other through it all.  And had fun doing it too. 

-My best friends will always have a place in my heart.  They know the good, the bad, and the ugly about me and they STILL love me???  How is that even possible!?  I love my girls.  They are simply the best.

-And how could I forget romantic love?  The twitter-pated feelings, the endless conversations, the feeling that no one in the world could make you as happy as that one person, the reliance, the escape from a bad day, building each other up and becoming better people together, the uncontrollable laughs, the never ending memories, the sweet kisses, (ok i'll stop before you barf)...etc...  I love my boyf. Enough said.
-The love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ has made this plan of happiness possible.  Because of God's love, we can choose how we live.

So, what do YOU love??

Let's talk about this for a minute...

No, not my ridiculous face.  The head wrap.  Apparently this is THE THING to have this winter.  Everyone and their dog has one.  Am I a sell out??  Perhaps.  But you know what? I think it's pretty darn cute.
