Yes, it's okay to ask... I am getting a divorce.<br />

I will be getting my own apartment/house, and decorating it to my hearts content.<br />
I am sure among that time I will be spending a lot of time running as well. anyone to join?<br />
I will be buying actual furniture pieces and I will someday want in my home...... long time down the road.<br />

From <a href="http://www.restorationhardware.com/index.jsp?link=global_logo">restoration hardware</a>..... and I absolutely die over it.<br />

I have been for a week now.<br />
I am leaving tomorrow evening and I am currently feeling literally sick to my stomach about it. I can't go back to Utah, I can't leave this place. I am home here, this place brings me to life. I miss everyone I love there, and my job and my friends, but I feel so safe here at home. I feel sick.xoxo, dani http://www.blogger.com/profile/16277521149391128071noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395444640129843983.post-51114258942453698852011-04-17T18:20:00.000-06:002011-04-17T18:20:12.088-06:00....not winning any parenting awards.<div style="text-align: center;">

I shut Mincey's tail in the door to the apartment today, and it was badly injured.<br />
She has to get it amputated :( I cried and cried, I felt so terrible.<br />
She didn't seem to put out about it, after she was done hissing at me that is. She hates me.<br />
We took her to the ER for animals, and the surgery was so expensive I almost threw up. But her poor little tail looked like it was hanging by a thread. Oh my. She is there now and when we go pick her up she will have half the tail she had before. and a cone on her head.xoxo, dani http://www.blogger.com/profile/16277521149391128071noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395444640129843983.post-88359678406803424882011-04-17T18:16:00.000-06:002011-04-17T18:16:26.491-06:00featherstoobright.blogspot.com {coming soon}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{ feathers} {too} {bright}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is from my all time favorite movie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Shawshank Redemption.</div>

"I have to remind my self that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. "</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have loved that all my life. I find that to adequately describe me. In the most humble way, I understand that I have always been a free spirit. It's just in my blood. so.. featherstoobright. it is. NOW i just need to find the most perfect picture for the header. Or rather take it.</div>

<br />
This past weekend was General Conference weekend, for those of you who are not LDS it's a conference that takes place every six months where the general authority of the church speak to... well, the world. It is televised and it is also published in something called the Ensign a couple of months later so everyone who was not able to see it on TV can read it, I also think it is printed so that it can be kept as reminders and read over again if needed or desired. I am grateful for that fact that I was able to watch general conference with Tanner and his family.<br />
<br />
Almost 4 years ago I was baptized into the LDS church, and I was introduced to a whole new world and a way to connect with God. I was happy with the religion for a long time, and it felt like I had found a part of my life I was looking for, but i was never truly happy inside. I struggled for a long time with wondering why. I didn't know if it was because I wasn't getting married, and everyone else was, or if it was because I wasn't doing as good as the Lord would have me to in life, meaning I wasn't being obedient enough and reading my pull potential that he has given me the possibility to obtain. I was unsure of so many things, and honestly and truly I felt very lost and alone.<br />
<br />
In May of 2010 I had the amazing privilege of marrying the man I love in the Temple of The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I can't really explain the way I felt during that experience. I had been groomed for 3 years that this was right, this was the ultimate goal, and I did agree. I do agree. I think that to be married in the temple is an amazing blessing and an amazing experience. It is said to be a super spiritual place, and I believe that is true for some. For me however it was not a spiritual experience, as much as I was just SO excited to finally be marrying the man I had been dating for thee years. I couldn't wait! I didn't even listen while we were being sealed, I was far to excited. I thought there were parts that were very spiritual and others that I literally felt nothing. I know that everyone who reads this who is LDS will agree mostly that the first time they went that is also how they felt. I understand that understanding does come with time.<br />
<br />
Over the last year of being married, growing, thinking, pondering, changing, a lot has in fact changed in my mine and heart. I have come to realize that the LDS church is not the place for me. I think it is a wonderful organization, that I was blessed to be a part of for such a time in my life. I was blessed to meet amazing people, and people whom have given me an example of how I choose to be as a person and a child of God. I do believe that Hevenly Father has a plan for everyone, and that there are some spirits that he created that are just in their own world, and have their own path. I believe that we are put on this earth to learn and to grow and to make mistakes, big ones, and to pick ourselves back up and to press forward. I have a strong faith that everyone in the world knows God in the way that they need to know God. I have a belief that at the end of all of this, all over the world people will see God. I believe that he will appear to all people and say bless you, and thank you for believing in something higher then yourself. I am everything. Now, come be with me.<br />
<br />
I am aware that, my mindset may not fit into any specific religous sect and I am also fine with that. I have learned through my trials in trying to grow closer to God that my heavenly father is with me in my heart.<br />
<br />
"I carry you're heart with me, I carry it in my heart."<br />
- e.e. cummings<br />
<br />
I believe in God in that way. I carry him in my heart. And to be honest my main goal is to be a good person, who helps people, and makes this world a brighter place in any way that I can figure out how.<br />
<br />
So thank you to all those who have been a part of my life the last four years, thank you to my Tanner who has been an incredible example of a man, and a boyfriend, and a fiance, and now a husband. Who has treated me like gold, and has showed me what it feels like to be loved. And to have someone I can turn to who will keep me safe. Thank you for all your good examples. <b>(jessica, abby, laur, liz, tawni, Mckall, Kesley)</b> Thank you for your friendships, thank you for your work and dedication <b>(cory) </b>Thank you for helping me walk my broken road, which makes up the stronger me now when I was in 2007. I am so happy, and I finally feel like I have figured out who I am inside.<br />
<br />
I love the Lord, and I know he loves me too. No matter what, he is there for me as my Father. I know my dad would never turn away from me, and he would never want me to live a life that made me feel trapped.xoxo, dani http://www.blogger.com/profile/16277521149391128071noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395444640129843983.post-71449807469804939122011-04-07T11:48:00.002-06:002011-04-07T11:50:52.519-06:00ADELE<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
but lately globes have taken on a new meaning for me, they are no longer just to be used to expand your mind, but to expand the gloriousness of your home! decorating with globes has become a new trend and i have to say, i'm on board.<br />

Amen.<br />
<br />
a couple months ago i stumbled upon an AMAZING blog called {cupcakes & cashmere}<br />
i have spent every day checking up on Emily and her new finds and amazing life. she is inspiring alone, i am jealous of her. so most everything on here is from her blog, no copy cats here. I credit her for all of the amazingly beautiful things you are about to see.<br />

Things I {must have} for summer........<br />

With narrow, probing, eyes –
I wonder if It weighs like Mine –
Or has an Easier size.
I wonder if They bore it long –
Or did it just begin –
I could not tell the Date of Mine –
It feels so old a pain –
I wonder if it hurts to live –
And if They have to try –
And whether – could They choose between –
It would not be – to die –
I note that Some – gone patient long –
At length, renew their smile –
An imitation of a Light
That has so little Oil –
I wonder if when Years have piled –
Some Thousands – on the Harm –
That hurt them early – such a lapse
Could give them any Balm –
Or would they go on aching still
Through Centuries of Nerve –
Enlightened to a larger Pain –
In Contrast with the Love –
The Grieved – are many – I am told –
There is the various Cause –
Death – is but one – and comes but once –
And only nails the eyes –
There's Grief of Want – and grief of Cold –
A sort they call "Despair" –
There's Banishment from native Eyes –
In sight of Native Air –
And though I may not guess the kind –
Correctly – yet to me
A piercing Comfort it affords
In passing Calvary –
To note the fashions – of the Cross –
And how they're mostly worn –
Still fascinated to presume
That Some – are like my own – </span></span></pre>

To the most amazing man i've ever met.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with the biggest heart, lit by the biggest fire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My father is my hero, and my best friend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the years I have come to realize more and more every day that I am exactly like my Dad. He is the most sensative guy you will ever meet, who cries over TV commercials, and sends his daughters flowers... just so they know he was thinking about them. He writes the best letters, and if he wrote a book, it would be one I'd like to read. He is the hardest worker, who spent his entire life creating a wonderful life for his wife and children. My Dad spoiled us rotten and still does. he loves to. it brings his heart gladness. I have my Dad wrapped around my finger, as he has me around his. Every time I talk to him his sounds like he is about to cry, he says it's because he misses me. The truth is, I miss him more, and I spend days crying over it too. I am a lucky Daddys girl.</div>

To the lady who taught me to be an upstanding women.</div>

My mother Cameila Dudek is an inspiration to my life. we are completely different people, and have always known it. My mother taught me growing up lessons every single day that I of course never realized until this year. She taught me how to read and write, using rice and pudding. She taught me how to write by making me write sentences, when I would do something bad! She taught me how to stand up for myself, and how to say no. She taught me how to say yes, and how to help others in need. She taught me that you can always come home again. She taught me that if you need to run away, you can do that too. She taught me what real love is, by doing nothing but "showing" it to be every single day. She never judged me, no matter how many times I said she did. She never turned her back on me, no matter how many times she should has. She always believed in me, when nobody else would. She always stood up for me, even when I was wrong. The problem I think parents have is trying to mold their children. I have learned from my upbringing that molding children does not work. What I choose to believe and plan to do with mine is to focus on loving them, they will mold themselves. They're children of God, they're people... who will become who they want to become by a series of choices, and mishaps and falls and scraped knee's throughout their lives that one day will have them standing with their head held high and a notion in their mine of "who I want to be." As long as you love them. I can't tell you the amount of times I came in a situation my parents didn't love. I drank, I partied, I skipped school, I spent their money without asking, I stole their money, I disappointed them, I surprised them, and they would yell, and they would get mad. But I don't remember a time where my parents ever ever told me I wasn't good. Not good enough. I was never said to be a bad girl, I was just "their" girl. They loved my mischief, they loved my spunky spirit, they still do and they are still there for the 2am phone calls that I often make (mostly because of the time difference) they roll over in bed, and pick up the phone and say.... "Danielle?" I remember the time I first felt a friendship connection with my Mom. it wasn't until I was around 21 years old, when she came to visit me out here in Salt Lake. We went to Vegas, and has SO much fun together. We didn't argue, or fight, we just had fun as mother and daughter. It was one of my favorite memories with my mother. Over the years I have learned I am just like my father, I am his personage in a female body. But then there are the parts of me that are just like my Mother. I'm sure upon reading this she will find these to be a surprise:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-I <b>hate</b> clutter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I clean my house constantly, and love a well made bed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I can't stand when things are out of place (aka in the wrong drawer)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I label things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I repeat myself in arguments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I plan, non stop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was young I would hate how my mother labeled everything, and had everything organized, and how everything was so planned out. I do the same thing! It happens. One day we all wake up and realize we are exactly like our parents. Lucky for me I have the two best parents in the world. Who never focused on molding, they only loved. I think I turned out okay!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love you Mom, you're amazing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You inspire me to be a better women, wife, and mother.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pray everyday to obtain your standard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love, you're baby. </div>

I am and have always been one for the warmer months, it makes my heart double in size the day the temp hits 60 again, and I immediately start planning my summer outfits, searching amazing sunglasses online, not to mention swimming suites! I can't even begin to list the things I am loving at the moment, since my list seems to grow and grow (do you think i'm getting selfish?) I will admit, I have never been one for Coach. In Rochester Hills, Mich. where I grew up Coach was somewhat of a status marker. Everyone and I do mean everyone had a coach bag. I remember being in 7th grade and seeing my friends carry them around. I begged for one for Christmas simply so I could "fit in" and was always denied. My parents never believed in "designer" things. I strongly disagree, still to this day. In essence everyone had a Coach purse, Backpack, planner, something with those little CCC's plastered all over it. As I grew up the brand became a little gawty to me, and I was glad I never got one for myself. However in the recent years Coach has managed to catch my attention more then a time or two and I must say their new "POPPY" collection is absolutely to die for.</div>

I'm partial to the pink and the black one ^above but they are all so beautiful and springish feeling. I wouldn't mind one bit having one of these beauties on my arm along with a flowing dress, and a chunky wedge sandal. yes please!</div>

Sadly my snowboard was ridden just one time this year, and yes that is a tragedy. I spent hundreds on a whole new set up, only to take it up once. It was worth it, we had an amazing day at <a href="http://thecanyons.com/">the canyons</a> a couple saturdays back. Thanks to our friends over at Moxie Pest Control for giving up an opportunity we wouldn't have had otherwise!</div>

I am so excited for this spring and summer because I will be spending it in sunny California, my life long dream comes true. I will be walking around day in and day out but i will have some downtime every weekend and hopefully wont be too tired to take full advantage. I plan on these things gracing my life during that time...</div>

Ever since I was a little girl I have had an unquenchable sweet tooth. We parted ways for a time in high school, unsure why. Since I have moved away from home and began fending for myself (buying my own groceries) it has worsened 10 fold. I'm not necessarily upset, but my waistline usually is. I feel like diving into a carton of double fudge brownie half churned ice cream is a right I have as a women. I also feel that way about chocolate truffles. Most every time I walk past a chocolate shop in the mall, or a stand someone I buy at least one truffle. When I was at school at the business college, they sold Utah truffles in the book store. I bought more of those in one semester then I care to admit. I came across this post on <a href="http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/page/19/">cupcakes & cashmere</a> and just had to post it, for my<b> few </b>but loyal readers. She has thousands including myself, her blog is absolutely amazing! </div>

With the orange and black sprinkles they tend to be more for halloween time, but change it to your favorite decoration for an everyday master piece! I intend on making these as soon as I have a spare moment, I hope you do too!</div>

For the ganache: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium stainless steel or glass bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy <a class="crosslink" debug="140 144" href="http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/cream/index.html" style="color: #1e7bac; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">cream</a>. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 6 minutes. <a class="crosslink" debug="299 303" href="http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/whisk/index.html" style="color: #1e7bac; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Whisk</a> in the cinnamon. Refrigerate the ganache until very firm, about 2 hours. Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop or a round tablespoon measure, scoop the <a class="crosslink" debug="448 454" href="http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/ganache/index.html" style="color: #1e7bac; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">ganache</a> into 18 (1-inch) round pieces and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Working quickly, with dry hands, roll the mixture into balls. Put a pop stick into each ball and freeze, stick side up, until firm, about 30 minutes.</div>

Dip the pops in the melted chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off, and then dip into the toppings until coated. Arrange the pops, stick side up, on the baking sheet.

Lately I have been obsessing over banners and garlands, I think this one however is much more beautiful then the rest. I think this will be on my wish list. It can be bought <a href="http://www.confettisystem.bigcartel.com/product/tassel-garland-neutral-palette">here</a>. I think it would be beautiful above a bed, or even in a childs room. So pretty, and light and feminine. I fear my husband secretly hates living under my room, but he loves me. SO that makes up for it right!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I'm going home!!!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">April 19th through the 26th I will be sowing my oats in my most favorite place on earth. Rochester Hills Michigan.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">To me one of the prettiest places in the world, I think because everything I remember in my life dwells there. {Your Roots} are a mythological thing that hold you to who you are. Where you came from will be built within you for all of your life. It wont change. It's beautiful. I hope everyone loves who there are, because of where they came from; as much as I do. It kills me how much I love it there. I wish a lot, everyday that I could be there for the rest of my life, but the chances are unlikely. A girl can dream, and dream I will. Everyday until I die.</span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Second</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">, my beautiful niece Kaylee turned 1 yesterday! She is such a blessing in our lives. We have learned so much from having her in our family about God's love for us. Only someone more supreme then ourselves could have created something so beautiful and perfect, as Kaylee. She is a doll. Happy Birthday little bug.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Third</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">, I am so proud of my amazingly beautiful friends, for who they have become. I have been thinking a lot lately about how grateful I am for them, and how much they mean to me. Growing up those girls were my family. We were closer then any group of people I have ever met. All of them have achieved their dreams, because of their determination and drive for success. I am lucky to be a part of such a motivating bunch. Who not only are POSITIVE influences on me, but support me in any path I choose to take.</span><br />
