The Perfect Date.

 

April 25. Not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

 

 This week had been a little stressful. So I decided to take a personal day and spend it with my favorite pup enjoying the beautiful weather. We had lunch with a friend, ran some errands then had a nap. It was very lovely, and much needed.

Five Friday Faves InstaFave Edition.

I present to you my fave pics I have taken from Instagram so far:


I truly adore the girls in this pic. They are the BEST.

I love flowers. All the beautiful colors in this garden just blow my mind.

This is love. 100% LOVE.

My sweet Fraggle is getting so big. I love everything about this photo. Rowan, the sidewalk, the table & chairs, his toy, all just fell together perfectly.

My smiling happy Stella. Again, 100% LOVE.

Proof

After seeing this picture don't even try

and tell me we aren't soul mates.

Btw, that cat's name is Sammy.



Mini Kitty

I really, really love this mini kitty.

Have a nice Tuesday.

Sicky

Diego is sick again. Please send him love and healthy wishes. He has to stay at the vet for 2 days. :(

Five Friday Faves-Spring!

Spring is finally here! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! Spring is one of my favorite times of year for all the lovely, exciting things it brings! Sunshine, baby animals, fresh fruit, soccer season and more! Here are five of my favorite spring things. What are some of your spring faves?
Strawberry Iced Tea: I just found the most delicious kind at Tevana -Strawberry Paraiso. Its so yummy!
Stella McCartney's new sunglasses line. They are all so cute. Fun shapes, prints, and colors, and they are all Eco-friendly! It can't get better! (Except they all cost over $200...)
How cute is this little tree filled with birdies. I'd love to put it in my house but that cats would have it destroyed in under 2 mins.
I LOVE lambs. My first stuffed animal was a lamb and my entire life I have wanted sheep as pets. I think this little guys is just as excited for Spring as I am!
I love this quote about Spring. It's such a pleasant reminder.

HAPPY SPRING!!!!

Lucky

I am one lucky girl. As you probably know I love Jason Mraz. Not in the same way I love James Franco, but I do love him. I think his music is amazing, heartfelt, beautiful and well, perfect. I just want to become his best friend and live on his avocado farm.

Jason had a concert at Sundance last Friday. Somehow finding a way in to this concert was harder then, well, pretty much anything apparently. (Believe me, I tried...)

Well things started to look up after the concert. Jason came out and I got my pics with him. ( I have wanted a redo pic since the first time I met him and I looked like a hot mess)
In between the taking of these photos I told Jason I named my cat after him. His response?
He put his hand over his heart and said "I love that" it was the most sincere, perfect and sweet response. He is one of the most down to earth people I have ever met.
Later that night I had the opportunity to work the door at Extra TV party for the new Michael Cera movie The End Of Love (Thanks Allison!) The party was held at the Canyons ski resort at the top of the gondola. is was so cool. I wish I would of taken more pics. Oops. (Don't I always say that!?!?)

Anyway during my shift at the door a man announced he was waiting to take Jason Mraz up to perform. I had no clue he was going to perform. Head. Explosion. I then begged his music guy to not start the show till I made it up the gondola again (Desperate times call for desperate measures people...)

He said he would stall till 10:15 because my shift was supposed to end at 10:00. (See my luck kept on coming!) So, the girl from the PR firm tells me I can be in charge of checking Jason in. Then he walks up and says "Hi, You said you were going to be working the door!" because he remembers me from earlier (I DIE)
Well I made it in time, and was dying, as I stood directly in front of Jason for his performance. The above pic does not do justice to how close I really was. I could of reached up and touched his guitar. (Without stretching mind you) I maybe cried when he sang I'm Yours. I was just so completely over-whelmed at how blessed I was. This was honestly one of the best experiences of my entire life. (And I got to share it with 3 of my best friends!) I have never felt so amazed, happy and well, lucky ever.

As if it couldn't get better, after his performance a DJ began to play and Jason hopped into the audience and began dancing with everyone. (You best believe that Courtney and I boxed him in)

>So here it is my one moment to say anything to Jason Mraz and I say "I swear I'm not stalking you" Good one Heidi. Wah wah. His response "It's okay, I'm not stalking you either."

BEST NIGHT EVER.

Like I said, I am one lucky, lucky girl.

Wrap It Up (Part One)

What a year 2011 has been. Its honestly been one of the hardest years of my entire life. Between losing Phebee in April, working at a job that made me miserable for 6 months, car problems, a job I really liked working at closing, an ER visit and realizing you thought someone who was a good friend was really a horrible person, some days it all seemed like to much to handle. But somehow I made it and now I am welcoming 2012 with open arms. That's not to say 2011 didn't have its good moments. So I wanted to share some. Here they are! In no logical order whatsoever.

The addition of Max. My furry, cuddly, totally lovey bug.

The only good thing I got out of Nordstrom: Two amazing friendships with Kate (in the lavender) and Jen (in the stripes)

This little teeny tiny entering my life thanks to Jenny. What a love my Mrazzy is.

I had a hummingbird I saved sitting on my finger. This still amazes me to this day.

Days at the spa spent with these two crazy kids. Kate & Will. (Yep those are their names) Also known as Princess & Monkey.

Watching this BEAUTIFUL girl who I've known since she was a mini graduate high school. Here she is with her "moms" so proud.

Fraggle turning one!

Cats Gallore

So as you know I have cats. I'm maybe obsessed with them. And no, I don't care if I'm a crazy cat lady.

Carrie's favorite place is in my laundry.

Maxwell

Awhile back around 2am Allison and I were walking around downtown. It was a hot summer night and we were enjoying our walk. Randomly as we passed a hotel suddenly this ran out from under a car:

He was skinny, timid, missing fur, and absolutely filthy. I asked the hotel if they knew who he belonged to, and the man said "He hangs around because guests feed him. Hes a nuisance. We are having him destroyed this week."
Naturally, I wasn't to found of that idea. So..... meet Max! (I know. I'm a sucker for a furry face.) Max, named after Max, from Where The Wild Things are and The Beatles, lives here now. He is scared to death of everything, but loves to cuddle and purr.

Ya, I'm pretty sure we love him.

Hey There

My new kitten is totally adorable in her harness.

That is all.
Have a nice Tuesday.

Kitty Mraz

Today we made it official! Kitty Mraz is now my Kitty Mraz! I am so happy I was able to save her from her shelter life and make her my new kitty. She is such a sweetheart and I am growing to adore her more and more each day. I found her when Jenny called me and told me CAWS (Community Animal Welfare Society) the rescue group she works with was trying to save a bunch of cats that were going to be put down and the WVC animal shelter,(which by the way is the WORST shelter in Utah.) and if I would consider fostering one. Since I had just lost Phebee days earlier I was very reluctant, but Jenny convinced me to look at the website and foster one just for a few days. Well that's when I saw this little bundle of fur. Then called "Tracie"

Shes been with us ever since.

She looks much healthier now, she has gained a little weight and her fur is shiny and now her eyes sparkle. She loves to eat her kitten food. She gets along well with all the other cats but she is especially fond of Carrie.

PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO:

KITTY MRAZ



XOXO

Phebee

Last Friday I had to make the hardest decision of my entire life. I had to get my dear Phebee Cat put to sleep. When I came home from work Friday night I noticed my sweet baby was fighting desperately for each and every breath. 6 hours later after many tears, yelling, cursing God and the world,crying hysterically to friends on the phone, and hyper ventilating I was forced to make the gut wrenching choice. My mom and I took her to the vet around 1am and I got to hold her in my arms as she said goodbye to this world. Since then I have not been able to sleep in my room and having been sleeping on the couch in the living room. Being in my room is just to hard. Sleeping is also hard due to the horrible nightmares I've also been having since she passed. I know some of you may not understand the importance of this sweet creature in my life, but truly she was my everything and now I feel like I've lost it all. I don't have many people in my life that I am very close to and trust completely. I don't have any siblings, a boyfriend or husband, and some people in my family are not the greatest of people.
Phebee was my world.

I miss her sweet meow whenever I talked to her. I miss having her always by my side (if not on top of me) when I sleep. Diego misses her too. When I came home to the vet he ran up to me as he always did when I returned from one of Phebee's frequent recent vet visits and looked so hurt she was not there. I keep catching him looking for her in her usual spots too. This is one of the last photos I have of Phebee her weight had dropped dramatically at this point. The only thing I could get her to eat was tuna fish. She was such a fighter and she held on as long as her little body could handle. But eventually it was just to much. I miss my best friend. I miss hugging and cuddling with her and the sound of her sweet purr. She hated when I went on trips and would always try and stop me from packing whenever I dug out my suitcase. I miss my loving friend who was always by my side even through the hardest times of my life. I miss sharing my meals with her. I always knew when I lost my Phebee cat it would be hard. But I am so heartbroken. I don't know what to do anymore. This is 100% percent the worst pain I've ever felt. People have always come and gone from my life by my kitty has been my content companion for the past 14 years. I simply don't know how to live with out her. She hated having her picture taken and would close her eyes. Whenever I go to put whip cream on something I have no one to share it with anymore. I've never felt so alone in my entire life.
