the longest of long days

yesterday was one of those days where by the end of it, i couldn't believe the morning i woke up to was part of the same night i was going to bed in.  does that even make sense?  you know, those nights where you're falling asleep, thinking about your day, and it hits you that the past 24 hours were really only 24 hours.  oh yes, that was yesterday.

6:30AM i'm waking up to my alarm and it's still pitch-black outside
7:30 i'm at school catching up on everything i'm behind on
4:15 i'm leaving school on my way to work
4:45 i make it to work 45 minutes late {i was supposed to be there at 4, but there was an overlap in my schedule}
11:00PM i'm leaving work probably because a table decided to sit there for an hour and a half after close {tipping manifesto and restaurant etiquette for utah county-ers coming soon because i swear i can't take it anymore!}

stealing from my friend claire's blog: all work and no play makes brighton a dull girl.  this is to-a-T how i felt yesterday.

i've thought a lot about blogging lately and i've decided i blog to magnify the seemingly small and insignificant things in my life, making them memorable and meaningful - to make all the small and wonderful moments in my life stand out as unique, attached to words and pictures - to make mountains out of molehills in the best sense possible. ...but i'd be lying if i said i haven't had my fair share of "yesterday" kind of days where it's harder to pick out those moments worth remembering.  but then this morning, i remembered, that i am in control of how i react to things, even emotionally - and that i can choose happiness.

and so, i blog.  

and i feel relieved that's it's the weekend.  

and i feel grateful that i have the night off.  

and i look forward to tomorrow.  

and i get excited that tanner is on his way home right now.
