This week Provo has finally gotten its act together. It made its way all the way up to the 60s this week, and after a long Utah winter, I think we were all ready for this. It reminded me of the first spring day in Paris last winter semester when I was studying abroad. One day, the sun came out and all of the sudden everyone else did too. It was one of my favorite days in Paris. Everything felt so alive after a winter of hibernation, and the city was in full bloom. BYUs campus emitted a very similar reaction with an outburst of spring clothes, studying on the lawn, and finally the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities without wearing everything you own. Though, I won't lie to you, putting away my boots for the the summer is always very upsetting to me (I have a secret wish that I will get to wear them just a few more times). Weird fact about me, I hate sandals. I'm on the hunt for a pair that I like, they must exist somewhere out there??
Anyways....this week, the highlights were puppies and pie. How could you go wrong with a week that included sunshine, puppies, and pie? You cannot. You simply cannot.

I've made pies for Thanksgiving before, but this was my first "experimental pie." To play into the summery feeling I decided to make a strawberry pie. It was really good. I found the recipe online (here) when I was searching around and figured I would give it a try (I will admit though that I cheated and used a store bought crust, but I don't feel guilty about it). I made this pie on Thursday 3/14 in honor of Pi Day (3.14 get it?). This holiday is the one good thing that has ever come out of math (ok, maybe there are a couple other uses for that voodoo magic you people call math, but I just won't worry abut those).
As a lovely little treat on Pi Day, there was also an event down by BYUs duck pond where you could play with puppies. Obviously, Hilary and I had to stop by. Someone asked me a little while ago what I was most looking forward to about having my own house one day, and the first thing that came to mind was getting my own dog. After more thought about the question, I am sticking to my answer. Dogs are the greatest. Can't wait till I have a life that is suitable for me to get my own puppy!
Hopefully your weather is warming up too. If not, wear your boots while you still can, you don't have much time left! And if you get the chance this week eat some pie and pet a puppy; you won't regret it. Both things bring the greatest kind of joy.
peace. love. and pie.
