These pants were called sexy today. I may have accomplished the impossible folks. I'm the least sexy person alive. I smile constantly (except in blog pictures, interestingly), I laugh too much, and I make odd faces when it's quiet for too long. That is a recipe for unsexiness...

A friend even told me that, actually. But he really fixed that up nicely when he told me today that these pants are sexy. Yes please! I felt like a foxy latina lady...

I can't wait to finish the sweatshirt I'm working on for class. I'm not a sweatshirt girl, but I feel amazing whenever I learn to make something new. Holla for fleece!

Also, I read the most lovely poem today:

"She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!"

Lord Byron

Love, Sarai

To me, it's a glorious day when it rains and pours all up in Happy Valley, UT. I'm not a big fan of the desert. Most people seem to love the warm, gross air. I prefer the slightly blustery, rainy, overcast days. For a few days, I was craving sun, when winter seemed like it would never end. Then I remembered I dislike summer, and think fall is perfect. So that ended that pretty fast. Right now all I want to do is buy duck boots, and wear my maxi skirts, and cuddle up under a blanket with a chunky knit sweater on. That's it folks.

Lately, I've been contemplating the idea of moving to DC after I graduate. I can just imagine how fun it would be to live there. Not that it's a plan, but I just keep seeing other bloggers there, and I see how beautiful it is, and I find myself wanting to be there. Or New York even. But NY, although I love it, is a little bit too fast-paced for me, maybe. Or maybe just too crowded? I don't know. I'm all a flutter with new ideas. WHICH reminds me. I have a great idea for a new creative video that I will be making very shortly. I hope you're excited! Because I am :)

Love, Sarai

Delicious food-Cafe Rio

My sweet roommates introduced me to the glory that is Cafe Rio. I think my life is forever changed. that is all that I have to say about that deliciousness. I hope I get to go back to that wonderful place. Except, I am also poor, and money only comes my way every other Friday. And officially, that goes to rent, and whatnot. It's the best. Also, can I just say that I miss Dane more than ever right now? We had an argument, and it hurts me that I can't just go kiss him after we make up. Or that I can't give him little cuddles when he stops being mad at me. I just miss him I guess. Also we haven't really talked on the phone, like, really, in a while. That's awful. Sometimes we talk for three hours, and apparently lately that is not going to happen, what with my busy schedule, and the lameness that is work. I love my company, don't get me wrong. But it feels kind of awful to work when I just want to be having fun. such as swimming, like tonight. That's actually another reason why I feel extra sad that Dane is gone. Everyone was having fun, and flirting, and goofing off. And I just splashed around having a relaxed little time. Which was kind of nice, not having to impress boys, but it was still depressing. I didn't want to hang out with those boys. I wanted to hang out with Dane Fred and splash around in the hot tub. We did that a few times this winter, and it was so nice, all hazy and lazy. I miss my sweet boy.

Love, Sarai

Nail Polish-Red-y Or Not Here I Come by Icing

My birthday is on Sunday... I'm turning nineteen. I know that's a big deal for guys in the church, but it's not really a big deal for many girls. About a year ago, when I was talking to Nancy once, we mentioned that neither of us wants to get married too early. I think twenty-one is a great age, and Nancy used to think twenty-four was perfect. I don't know anymore. I mean, I'm not in a position to get married, but thinking that two years from now is my ideal time to get married? I feel like that is way too soon. Also, I love the relationship I'm in, but once Dane leaves, I'll have to start dating again. I can't think of a single person I actually want to go on a date with right now. I'm all confused and nervous. 

I think birthday's tend to cause panic for me. 

BUT, even though I'm away from home, and Nancy, I will most certainly try to make this the best birthday I've ever had. Also I probably will only get one present, from Dane.

But just in case, here are some ideas for all of you readers who possibly have money you want to blow on this poor, sweet, college student...

1.

Leopard Loafers

Size 6

2.

Fara Wedge

Size 6

3.

Vanilla Milk Top

Size small

4.

Lace dress

Size small or medium...

5.

Any shoes from Modcloth

The end.

6.

Things that are pretty and lacy and girly and wonderful
