Youth is like diamonds in the sun

I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to write about when I sat down this evening.  But while reviewing my pictures from the weekend it became clear that I’m doing a decent job of soaking up everything a Salt Lake spring/summer has to offer.  

And that’s good news, because life is going too fast.  

Brandi Carlile opened for Ray LaMontagne the other night and she covered this song impeccably well.  It was perfect then and it’s perfect right now.

Song of the Week: Forever Young

The season so far (in pictures)

Life seems to be making sense in a new kind of way and I hope it continues to :)

There is a lot more fun coming up though and I’m really excited!  I just want to be sure to take advantage of every moment.  A small list for now:

Utah Arts Festival

Farmer’s Market

The Avett Brothers

Josh Ritter

The Decemberists

Amost Lee

just a little heart

I have a few really fun posts planned for this week, but need to talk about some polaroid magic first!  

A few months after I started my current job I spotted a bunch of polaroid 600 film in our refrigerator at work.  And when I say "a bunch" I mean specifically, 100 sheets.  10 packs of 10.  As it turned out, no one was interested in claiming them and so of course I happily did.  This was before The Impossible Project got off the ground so it was an extra special find.  I'm down to two more packs as I write this :(  Anyway, my apartment is rather small so with the exception of some extra specials shots, I started storing them away in a sweet vintage tin.  Until the other day when I finally snapped out of it and realized that was ridiculous.  So I pulled everything off of my largest wall and filled it with the polaroids and the people I love.  I'm not gonna lie. . .it warms my heart every time I see it and that got me thinking about how I can incorporate a little more love and a little more heart in my life.  Turns out, it isn't as hard as it seems.  

Night Night, and lots of love.
