Day 4-A picture of your night.

Happy Valentine's Day again!  A few pictures of my night...I promise I was there, just behind the camera.

Valentine's Day!!

Ya'll are getting two posts today.  Yup, that's just how much I love Valentine's Day!!  A day for wearing pink, telling the people that you love how you feel about them, making treats and sharing them, eating Lovesagna, and so much more.  :)  I have two Valentine's today.  One is my Gran and the other one is Austin.  I asked them both if they would be my Valentine and they both accepted.  I'm a pretty lucky gal. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!  I love all of my friends and family and feel blessed to have you all in my life!  *hugs*

Day 3- A picture of you and your friend.








 Well that's a broad topic isn't it?  I just picked a folder and found this picture that makes me laugh out loud.  That was a fun time and a really fun night.  So there we go, a picture of me (looking oh so attractive...) with my friend Brian.  Gooood times.  My former boss, Teresa, told me that I look like an oompa loompa in this picture...Can you see the resemblance?  How sad...

Day 2-A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest.

 This was a tough one so, new rule, I'll post as many pictures as I want.  :)  I have a lot of long time friends in my life.  

 1st-In recent years, Lora.  We became friends soon after I moved to Utah and I would say she has been the most consistently close friend since.  We've been friends for almost 10 years and have talked, emailed or visited regularly the whole time as far as I can remember.  I love her because we think alike, feel similarly about things, have the same (fantastic!) taste in music and we just get each other.  She is like family to me and I love her for it!  (I was looking for old pictures of us and found this one which happens to be my all time favorite picture of Lora and I)


  #2-Officially the longest?  Laura.  We don't talk much anymore but we have been friends for as long as I can remember.  (You all remember the french toast/powdered sugar story).  Laura is one of those friends that I know that, if I needed to, I could call her out of the blue for anything.  Up until she moved away from Utah we saw each other pretty regularly and we always make time to see each other when we are in the same state.  Laura is probably the person that I have been closest to for the longest period of time.  Love you Laur!

30 Days

I found this in my internet wanderings and I thought it would be a fun thing to try since I love pictures and haven't been blogging much these days.  :) 

I have a list with something to post every day for the next 30 days and so, I begin with Day 1.

Day 1: Post a picture of yourself and 10 facts.


1. I never sleep soundly if I'm not sleeping with my teddy bear, Fuzzy.
2. Sometimes I don't want to be around people but there are a few people that I love to be around anytime, even when I feel like that.
3. I wish my hair was naturally a nice dark rich color.
4. I want to live in my current house for forever.  I love it so much.
5. I have a craving to run away again, I need to be rich so I can travel.
6. I work too much and think about work too much, and yet I still love it most days.
7. I have the greatest people in my life, my heart gets full and happy every time I think about it.
8. I love cupcakes, LOVE.
9. I love bags, and purses and always walk through that section in stores just to see if "the one" is there waiting for me.
10. Listening to music makes me feel alive.

WAIT!! I'm a Pisces??

No wonder I had such a rough day...My whole world shifted and I didn't even know it.  ha!

How do you think the people who live their lives around their horoscopes must be feeling right now?  Their whole life was a lie...A LIE!! 

Ok, I know everyone and their dog is talking about this but it did make me giggle and after the day I've had that giggle was worth sharing.  :)  The funny thing is, I was doing pre-service for a new employee the other day and I noticed that his birthday is the day after mine.  He said oh, nice!  Aries!  I hadn't referred to my zodiac sign in forever, how random that someone would and now BAM it's different...I wonder how he is taking it.  Ok, I know I'm a big random mess right now but there it is.


And here is my new horoscope for today.  I even got some advice on how to plan a party...niiice!

"Focus in on the things that really need accomplishing and the rest of the day will move along quickly. Someone has good ideas and not realizing it, may just leapfrog you forward in your career. Up-to-date information is most important to your business and you work and research to find the most recent theories and research that will help in your future projects and contacts with professional people. A strong urge for the social life finds you visiting with the neighbors this evening. Planning a future get-together is fun and a good way to bond and to keep in the know around the neighborhood. Consider suggesting a time to enjoy games and each other's food with perhaps a progressive dinner. A treat at each house: appetizers, salads, side dishes and desserts."

2010 did not suck.

I was just thinking about my New Years resolution for 2010 and I think it might possibly be the first one that I ever succeeded at.  Maybe I need to choose broader resolutions more often.  :)  For those of you who don't memorize my blog posts my goal for the year was to recover from 2009.  I'm happy to say that I did and had a pretty dang good year while I was at it.  It wasn't perfect, crappy stuff happened (Car was totaled, for example) but overall it was great.  I felt happy, grew stronger, moved closer to the city, got a job that keeps me busy and makes me feel like my days have meaning, moved to a place that feels like a home, bought a reliable car, overcame constant and debilitating anxiety (it's not gone but I can live again), went on a few trips and a whole lot more.  I couldn't be more grateful for what I have been given and for the great year that I had.

I hope this year will be equally rewarding.  A few goals that I have set for myself for this year include, read at least 2 books a month (I'm taking recommendations! I'm reading The Help right now, already my second book this month woo!), attend the temple more regularly, put my laundry away once it is done and a few more that I don't plan to share.  Mostly I just want to have more fun, love more and work at being a kinder, more grateful and more in tune person.
