I'm doing everything I possibly can to avoid organizing my room which includes finally blogging. It's been a wild week in which I have learned a lot about myself. Here's my quote of the day before I turn my music up too loud and clean like crazy:

"And again I say unto you, sue for peace, not only to the people that have smitten you, but also to all people;
And lift up an ensign of peace, and make a proclamation of peace unto the ends of the earth;
And make proposals for peace unto those who have smitten you, according to the voice of the Spirit which is in you, and aall things shall work together for your good.
Therefore, be faithful; and behold, and lo, I am with you even unto the end. Even so. Amen."

D&C 105:38-41

Pottery for Awesome

So I dragged a friend to the Marion County Fair today and it was very interesting. There were some BEAUTIFUL flowers, really striking photography and some adorable little animals. Why are little animals so cute? I liked the lil' bunnies and the Bantam hens. And the baby goats. The best part of the night was wondering in to the Willamette Art Center. We met a fantastic volunteer who showed us around and let us peek into the gallery. WOW! There are some incredibly talented artists in Salem. Their web site is www.willametteartcenter.com and they offer all kinds of fantastic classes. My favorite piece was the castle from Howl's Moving Castle. Enjoy!

Movies for Awesome

I have watched Guys and Dolls about a billion times since I moved to Salem. Marlon Brando is my old-school gangster crush. Apparently he's not the best singer so each song was pieced together after multiple takes, but I still love it! And with Frank Sinatra... it's just a great flick! I still laugh at the cheesy jokes.
