Weird Weather

 
Hello Internet!

We have been having the strangest weather here lately! Yesterday, it hailed so hard that it left the dirt in my backyard bumpy. It was a little bit terrifying. One moment I'm enjoying the wonderful afternoon breeze and suddenly I'm being pelted with ice cubes the size of lima beans! And then on Monday, I was at my friend Kayt's house and it started MONSOONING!! Her chickens were going nuts. :) I'm beginning to think that we no longer live in a desert. Anyways, in honor of crazy Mother Nature, I dug out a poem that I wrote a while back for your midnight enjoyment. Hope you like it!


Spring
The heavy clouds gobble up the scant rays of sunshine,
Only letting through their own wet minions.
No matter how much of a fight that sunshine puts up,
No matter how many times it tries to convince the clouds that they'll finally lose,
The clouds still win.

The sunshine begins to recede, 
Finally accepting the fact that the clouds have won.

Only then, is that sunshine able to see the sky in its entirety.
Only then, are those little rays of sunshine able to see


That there is more to the sky than just those clouds.


Have a wonderful birthday/wedding/anniversary/cultural holiday/regular normal day!!!
(Wanted to include all of the many different things you could be celebrating today)

What I've Been Up To

Hello Internet!!! As you may have noticed, I haven't been posting on this site as regularly as I would like to. These past few weeks have been totally INSANE!! On Saturday, my friend's sister threw him a surprise party and I was given the task of keeping him busy all day which took a lot of time and planning. He ended up being very surprised so in the end, all of my effort paid off. (If you are reading this Cory, Happy Birthday next Friday) I have also been trying to get ready for the school year to start. I start my college classes on Monday the 22nd of August which is a week from today. My high school classes don't start until Wednesday though which is super nice. My schedule is a bit insane this year because I am taking classes from Utah Valley University along with my High School classes. As for this next week, not much is going on. I'm hoping to get some new posts up soon so stay tuned. Love you all!! ~Julie

My non-gluten-free father always tells me that these are WAY better than poisonous, oops I mean glutenous, brownies. :) #celiacsdisease I adapted this recipe from a King Arthur Flour Recipe to use the ingredients that I most commonly have on hand.
