It’s crunch time around here.

Chad and I set a goal several years back to read every talk given at LDS General Conference together before the next Conference. And we are down to less than two weeks and we are no where near finished.

My song right now is “The Edge of Glory” by Lady GaGa. I loop it on my iPod and belt it at the top of my lungs. And it’s my song because I feel like I am on the edge of something and I’m hoping it’s glory.

Yeah!! It’s September which is officially my favorite month. Here are all the reasons I heart September:

The blog (and house, hubby and kids) have taken a back seat because I am redoing Elle’s room. And my mind is obsessed with decorating. I have paint samples all over the walls, bags of fabric and bedding, and 1 or 4 DIY projects. I have been to hardware stores, antique stores, home decor stores and craft stores and I’ve loved every minute of it. I am a wanna be interior decorator.

I just picked my first garden tomato of the season and ate it with some cottage cheese. I can’t wait to eat tomatoes on my scrambled eggs, cheese toast, tacos, sandwiches, cottage cheese, salads and pizza. I plan on basically eating tomatoes every day from now until October. And I am excited to can spaghetti sauce for my 3rd year in a row. In short, happiness is garden tomatoes.

I am a recovering perfectionist. As a child, I would rip up paper after paper, if the handwriting wasn’t just right. I got straight A’s all through jr. high, high school, and college until my 3rd year, second semester, when I took 18 Science credits.
