Cinco de Mayo!

One of my favorite holidays...why? because I love Mexican food, guacamole, parties for basically no reason, and holidays where you don't have to worry about presents! haha!

Brittney, her friend Kristin, and I went to La Casita (super yummy Mexican restaurant in Springville) for dinner and then over to her friends for a little fiesta.

Whitney, me, Brit, Kristin

Don't worry that apparently I have a baby here...?

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

XVII (I do not love you...)

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

- Pablo Neruda
