"I got da diamonds and da ice all hand set" - Paul Wall

Fantastic artwork - thanks to you, miss elsputh, for bringing it to my attention. :) I really would pay to have this in my house.

In other news, I am leaving for Ireland in 3 weeks! I'm not sure what we'll be doing there besides riding around in a car looking at beautiful green countryside, but in those boring hours I'm definitely going to imagine a huge whale tied to a balloon floating in the sky. If anyone has any good recommendations of things to do/see in Ireland, hit. me. up.

Also in other news! Paulsie is engaged!

The story really is perfect. He took her to a super nice fancy restaurant, surprised her with a carriage ride, stopped to "just take a few pictures" in front of a beautiful cathedral downtown SLC, and then surprised everyone (even the random 2 guys across the street who apparently yelled, "Say yes! Say yes!" followed by obscenities AND the carriage driver who had the camera) with a *ring and a speech. I trained my brothers right, that's for sure. Yay for another wonderful addition to the Knight family!

Speaking of engagement stories, mine was pretty great. So great that it deserves it's own post.

First of all, it's snowing like mad outside and it's April 30. Not that you haven't read about a million and a half posts on [fill-in-social-network-site-here] about how crazy the weather is right now in Utah, but I just want you, my reader, to know that I sympathize. I am usually that person who rejoices at snow, but that was when I could go to the slopes on any given notice. Winter is revengeful when you can't come out and play.

Second, Royal Wedding biz? Thought it was bogus until I was watching Kate Middleton in that fantastic dress, and I caught myself daydreaming I was her and marrying royalty. The whole idea of becoming a princess overwhelmed me, and I was suddenly glued to the TV. What girl didn't want to be Kate Middleton yesterday? And then I realized I am marrying royalty. The blessings of the temple are just that awesome.

I mean, the queen anne neck with a plunging V? And Prince Willy's Grandpa's tiara? And earrings symbolizing her new family crest? Can this ensemble be more appropriate? I dare say nay! 

And, although the Duchess of Cambridge may have beat me on all levels as far as wedding extravagance, I am still mighty proud of my custom wedding dress which I can't wait to wear. Yes, I plan on wearing it all day long. And yes, I plan on busting it out on occasion after the big day. Doing laundry, cooking dinner, and watching TV in your wedding dress are sure to spice things up. Don't be surprised if you see me out to dinner next year and I'm wearing my wedding dress and Seth is in his suit. Ok let's be honest, he'll probably be in a t-shirt.

And third, I'm just about done with wedding plans! *Cue the Hallelujah Chorus. I just gotta pick out a cake, nail down the budget for flowers, and show up for my last 2 dress alterations. What can I say, it's a girl's life.

So at work I found this future baby photo software online...

Turns out one of my fears in life is creating ugly children. She's not so bad looking, right?!

Come on, I had to know.

Dang, does this make me a freak?

Well shoot, I forgot how much I love blogging.

I have just about had it with grave shifts, mostly because I'm not awake for my social life...

But it's been a good experience.

My internship has kept my spirits up, and they've recently endowed me with my own Job Skills class and my very own client! I was very nervous my first session, but he's a cool guy. He's 45, been homeless for the last 6 months or so, has a family that he sees occassionally (who are not homeless), has been abusing heroin mostly for the last 30 years...I'll let you know how it goes. He seems willing to get his life back, so I'm excited for his enthusiasm.

I wish I had a cool picture, but I don't. Like I said, I haven't been awake for a social life in about 6 months. BUT! I am getting my hair cut tomorrow, so I'll have to take a picture and post that one. :)

Also, new favorite artist: Esperanza Spalding. She sings this fantastic song called Little Fly. Seriously, it's music art. Art music. Musart. Sounds like Mozart...

Coincidence?

"'Cause this is Halloween" - Song I learned in Kindergarten

*This was suppose to be my Halloween post. Oops. Better late than never they say. We'll see.

By the way, what happened to songs about Halloween? Why are they only sung in Kindergarten?

I'm tutoring a 4th grader obsessed with Transformers. He has some problems staying focused, organizing, etc., so we're creating a Transformers comic book together to teach him organization, directions, finishing a project, etc. He's really smart and a self-proclaimed nerd. So, naturally, I asked him what I should be for Halloween.

He said Alice in Wonderland wasn't good enough. I should be dead Alice in Wonderland who died by falling asleep and catching on fire and burning to death. So I should wear a dress with holes in it and stuff.

This kid is a genius.
