gALI*vanting: November 2012
http://aliooper.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. I'm not really into relationship books {or self-improvement books, for that matter}, but I think this book may have been written specifically for me. Just look at this description of the book:. I wish I had counted how many times in my last relationship I heard the words, "You're too. I think I have a problem, even though I generally think it's not my problem because I believe in being as kind and understanding as possible. Am I wrong? Why do men take nice girls for granted?

Sunday, July 8, 2012. These is my words. Heather has been telling me to read These is my Words. By Nancy Turner for ages, so I finally did and I loved it. Miss Sarah Agnes Prine is a fine heroine and her journal entries are thoroughly entertaining. Even though it is a novel, Sarah feels like a real person. I find a lot of the things I am reading lately have awesome, inspirational characters. I connected with Sarah in so many ways. It cracks me up when she talks about her relationship frustrations. I feel...

Thursday, February 21, 2013. This is the view of my refrigerator right now, and it makes me pretty darn happy. The top left is a picture that Penny drew of herself and me as princesses, and next to that is a portrait of me, drawn by Lily. Ruby drew a picture of Trav and me, but he got custody of that one and I have this cute one of some girls. As you can see, Penny pretty much only draws girls with crowns. Disclaimer: I can already feel the speculation that is bound to happen due to the reference to the ...

Saturday, May 18, 2013. This part of being an adult that involves making real life decisions is not working out so well. How do you decide where to go or what to do when your life is just kind of up in the air? What gives, universe? Could you throw some points my way, please? Ali I love you! I feel broken over the NBA right now too. I was soo sad about Westbrook. But al- you are amazing and you will get through this, and you will have some great wins. Having you as one of my best friends is a...June 2, 2...

Monday, December 10, 2012. I had a rather traumatic experience on Saturday that made me think about God's hand in our lives. I do believe we are never forgotten by God or left alone, but when you have those why me? Moments it can be temporarily difficult to see that. I saw on Saturday that many of those why me? What are the odds? I was pretty upset about having seen him again, even for a split second. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Tell me, what are. Joseph b. wirthlin.

http://aliooper.blogspot.com/2013/08/i-wish.html
Thursday, August 8, 2013. I wish . . . I've been trying to do this new thing lately where I'm more open about my feelings, which is not especially easy for me to do. I'm doing this partly because I've realized that keeping my sadness pent up inside is not especially good for my mental health. And also because I've been bothered in recent months {years? And what in the world am I supposed to be doing with my life? It's been a rough couple of years. And sometimes I really just wish I had a shell. I still o...

http://aliooper.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 28, 2013. I just started reading The Architecture* of Happiness. S} I'm finding truth in the statement that you must know the bitter to know the sweet. When we experience pain our interaction with beauty becomes more meaningful- whether that beauty is in the form of art/architecture, or of nature, or of the people around us. My heart is somehow empty and full at the same time, and this is a very strange and beautiful feeling. For a little while? Thursday, April 4, 2013. Do blondes, do they,...

Tuesday, December 17, 2013. This time and this place. 8220;You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way ever again.” —Azar Nafisi. Were here after all. Provo is crazy. And there have been times when it has felt like a bottomless pit of weirdness that I can't escape from. But I freakin' love this place. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. As many of you know, my brother got home from his mission two weeks ago. It was basically the best day ever! I surprised him at his gate, so I was the first one to see him and it was so happy. Dropping Park off at the MTC and then on the train at DIA. Here we are coming out of the terminal and seeing the fam. With my brothers. I love this one! We went to eat at The Cherry Cricket, which is one of our favorite burger places. This is the family after Parker was released. Home a...
