Delightful.

I just want to blog about things that make me happy right now. So, without further delay...

• Fountain Vanilla Coke. I've always really liked Vanilla Coke and I was pretty sad when they stopped making it for a while, and I was super excited when they started making it again. I can still picture my dear friend Vienna raising her fists in the air, clenching her hands together, all truimpant like and changing, "welcome back, welcome back!" I don't think there is a better way to acurately discribe how good it was to have Vanilla Coke back. But then, I kind of forgot about it. I know, so ridiculous, right? So, a few months back I was at Cafe Rio, with Vienna actually, and I saw that they had Vanilla Coke as one of their options for a fountain drink, and I remembered my love for Vanilla Coke. It was even better than I remember. I am obsessed. I basically don't even like any other soda now and I really only like it from the fountain now, which is kind of a good thing because the obsession has gotten a little crazy and I don't know of anywhere else I get get fountain Vanilla Coke except at Cafe Rio, so I only get it when I go there...which then only increases my love and want for Cafe rio.
• Speaking of Vienna, she had her little baby girl this past week and I'm insanely happy about it! I can't wait to meet her.
• I love pizza and I love Cafe Rio (mainly because their house dressing is to die for). If you ever ask me when I want to eat at I will always, hands down, pick somewhere with pizza or Cafe Rio.
• That being said, I'm going to Red Lobster tomorrow night and I don't have to pay for it and I am STOKED. That food is to die for.
• General Conference was this weekend and it was absolutely wonderful.
• Elder Uchtdorf's talk from the General Relief Society Meeting about the five Forget-Me-Nots was amazing. Seriously, when I was listening to it I felt like that talk was made specifically for me. If you didn't get a chance to hear it I strong suggest that you take a little visit to lds.org and give it a listen. Or, maybe I'll just post it on the end of this post. But really, I can't get over it. It was fantastic.
• It's fall! Have I mentioned that fall is my FAVORITE season? I feel like I tell anyone who will listen. I just love it. I love it more and more every year. Jayson and I went for a drive up the canyon today and oh my goodness. I was indescribably happy. They are just so beautiful! I have posted pictures below for your viewing pleasure, but they don't even do justice to how pretty it was in person. Fall also means it's times for jackets, scarves, tights, cider, hot chocolate, pumpking carving, Halloween (little kids in costumes is pretty much one of my favorite things in the entire world), cool weather....sigh.

You know what I come to realize more and more though? The best things in life are that way because of people. Pretty much all of my happiest moments involve people. Life would be nothing without them. Many people close to me are having babies and some are getting married...and it's that sort of stuff that makes me feel truly blessed, full of life, and really really happy. Everytime I think about the people in my life I am overwhelmed with love and gratitude.

LOVE those colors.

And... I love this video. I love Sara Bareilles. This video is fantastic to watch if you're having a bad day. I like to replace the word 'you' when she sings "I'm gonna get over you" with whatever it is that is making my day bad and then it makes me feel better. There's something about realizing that even though right now is hard, you know you'll feel better, "someday". I also love that this video is so fun and everyone in it is having fun. Then I remember that I can still be happy, even on hard days, and even if it isn't "someday" yet. Plus the end of this video is pretty funny.
