...Except It's Actually *Really* Blue

I speak, of course, of the alluring Red Sea.
Whoever called it red was obviously colorblind. Love that tropical azure.
On Sunday--which is our day off here at the JC, as we celebrate Sabbath on Saturday (like the Jews)--we traveled to Eilat, a beach resort town along the shore of the Red Sea. We've hit the Red & the Med in the last 10 days, now we're heading for the Dead next week. No complaints from this water baby.
My lovely Hawaiian friend Mallory said it was *almost* as good as the Islands.
It was glorious to plunge into that bright blue water and come face to face with fish like I usually only see in my dentist's aquarium. We even saw a jellyfish! With the sea, the salt, and the sun, I was a happy girl.

On our drive down to Eilat, Bro. Chadwick (aka Chadwickipedia) told us all about Lehi's journey from Jerusalem and along the very trail we were driving. It's incredible to see how all of the stories I've read so often weave in and out of each other here. 

And to make the day even bettah, I was blessed with the honor of wearing The JC Girls' Shirt. It is the height of Middle Eastern haute couture.
voila!
Did I mention that I love my life?

She Paints Me Blue

I've recently been smacked upside the head by the realization of just how much blue there is in my life. It's kind of ridiculous. So I felt like writing a series of lists about my relationship w/ the color blue:

Experiences That Have Made Me Notice My Obsession.
1- I went shopping shortly after Christmas & only managed to buy one item of clothing that isn't blue or green. It's grey. I got the grey sweater so it would go well with all my blue & green.

2-My roomie face Carrie was wearing a bright blue shirt yesterday that she doesn't wear very often & her boyfriend/my buddy Jason thought it was mine. Apparently, anything that particular shade of a
zul is just assumed to belong to me. 9 or 10 times this assumption is probably right.

3- My closet. I have a mild form of OCD (maybe) & therefore like to organize my clothing by color. The sections go a bit like this: Dark Green, Green, Greenish Blue, Turquoise, Bright Blue (aka Kelsey Blue), Light Blue, Dark Blue, BYU Blue, Purple/Pink/Red (this section contains about 4 things), Brow
n, Black, White/Grey. There is no yellow & no orange. I have one pink dress & one pink shirt.

4- My room - here all my stuff is baby blue or dark blue or bright blue. At
home my walls a green, my curtains are blue & white, all my bedding is blue & white. Obsession much?

Reasons I Like Blue
1- I go to Brigham Young University. Blue is practically holy.


2- Blue is the color of the ocean.

Van Gogh rocks my world

3- Blue is the color of the sky.

4- Blue can express a lot of emotions. Have you ever seen a pensive shade of Pink? I didn't think so.

5- I just do. I think I have some weird chemical make up that allows the color blue to stimulate endorphins in my brain.

A Greatly Abridge List of My Favorite Blue Things

1- the ocean

2-the sky
again, Van Gogh is the man

3-the cool edge of my eyes you can only see if you look really close

4- my bestest friends'eyes - both Kristen's & Carrie's are gorgeous blue, but different shades

5-my men's flannel shirt that Carrie thinks is heinous & ugly. I don't care. I love it.
coolest/comfiest shirt EVER.
6- jeans. I love blue jeans.

7- facebook. It's blue. & as much as I hate to admit it, I love it.

8- my iPod
bliss
9- cookie monster
anyone who regularly throws tantrums for cookies makes my hero list

10- my new hoodie

11- my lucky polka-dot shoes


Ah, what the heck? I love this picture

12- my board shorts

13-my sharpies

14- my university

true blue, through & through

15- my daddy's 1941 Chevy

16- my running leggings (aka my super woman tights)



my "cape" is also blue

17- my Aston Martin...oh...wait...that was just a dream. crud.
