I am so excited for this weekend! We are running away and going camping for a few days! I am really excited Steve and I actually have the same days off as each other for a weekend. We just got lucky that the county gets Friday off and his shift changed so he doesn't work again until Saturday night. I don't think we have had a day off together since we met. So I am excited that in a couple hours we can get away for a few days! :)
I am also sad/excited that Steve gets to go home and see his family on Tuesday! I am not looking forward to him being gone for 9 days but am really excited to go to Michigan and meet his family! I am flying out and meeting him for the end of his trip and spending some time in his home town. For once he will know everyone and I will be the one meeting new people! I feel bad that everywhere we go in Heber I run into someone I know and Steve has to meet another person! (Not that he doesn't enjoy meeting all of you, but it does get old sometimes!) It will be a nice vacation for a couple days and another chance to spend some time together while we are both off.
The next few weeks are going to be crazy! Lots of fun and exciting things are happening, but they are all happening at once! My brothers are both getting married a month apart! I love my new sister in laws though and can't wait to have them as part of the family. They are super cute girls and I love them both! I am making the wedding cakes so that has been a fun challenge/experience. I really enjoy making cakes and it will be fun to attempt a wedding cake! One of my really good friends is also going to be moving. The sad part is she is my coworker as well so I will be loosing her at work too! Marie you better come and visit a lot! We are going skydiving together in September and I can't wait! I have been helping in Primary a lot recently and have been there for the past two weeks. I will also be teaching this Sunday! I think this is more for me than it is for the kids! I have learned a lot and have to fight back tears when they sing some of those songs. Not much compares to the spirit of a child. Then fair days is coming up and I leave for Michigan that same weekend. There is just a lot going on but I am excited for the new adventures in life, family, and work. (oh and school is in there somewhere too!:)) I will try to keep up with my blog and post pictures of the fun things coming up but forgive me if I don't do to well at it!

Singing Time?

I am a substitute teacher in our ward Primary and I was asked to do singing time on Sunday........ I don't think I am cut out for this! :S

Blogger Award

My super cute cousin McKell tagged me in this blogger award, and I just noticed, so sorry I am late and thanks McKell!

Amazing Blogger award

Terms of this award: must list 10 things about yourself, thank the person who gave you this award, and pass it on to 10 wonderful bloggers.

1 - I am the happiest I ever remember being. I have found out who I am and what I want out of life. I may have found it the hard way, and done that with trial and error, but I wouldn't change anything.

2 - I love my family! They are always there when I need them. They have done so much for me, especially my parents, and I hope one day I can grow up to be the selfless, giving, and loving people they all are.

3 - I have gray hair. It's just wrong. Enough said.

4- I have great friends that I know are always there for me. I am a little scatter brained and always sign myself up for more than I can handle and they are always there in the last second when I am cramming to finish. From cakes to papers to quilts, I know that they will always be there for me and I hope I am half the friend they are to me!

5 - I have been spoiled rotten by the best guy ever! He is perfect. He cheers me up when I'm sad, supports me in everything I do, and loves me for who I am (even when I am not being a very nice person. Hey we all have our days right!?!) He is always on top of things remembering the little details that I forget and keeps me going. He's just simply the best!

6 - I love to go on vacations, specifically with my sister! We have such a great time and a trip to Disneyland has become a tradition with us. I have loved the time I have been able to spend with her and her cute kids. Those are memories that will last forever!

7 - Pretty sure I have the cutest nieces and nephews ever! Not just the ones who are literally my nieces and nephews, but all my adopted ones too! There's the Brenchleys, and the Purdys, and the Christensens, and the list keeps going and I love them all! Nothing puts a smile on your face like little kids excited to see you and hugs and kisses!

8 - I love to learn new things. I decided a couple months ago that I needed to go back to school. I felt like I was growing dumber every day at work! Not because of my job, just because I do the same thing all day, every day, and I never challenge myself. It has been really hard to go back but I am really happy I did. It has helped keep my brain alive!! :)

9 - I love to be outside! It is my favorite. I love all the activities you can do and just soak up the sunshine!

10 - My car is always dirty. Always! Steve tries to make me keep it clean. It helps, but isn't 100% effective yet! ;)

Now I tag...... Melissa, Rachel Probst, Jena, Whitney, Whitney, Camille, Natalia, Chelsi, Jewelle and Amber

Twitterpaited

You should not look this title up in the dictionary. I'm almost positive it's not there. It's pronounced twitter-painted without the n. I'm not sure how to spell the word or its origin, but I know it's completely made up. I don’t know how to describe this word but I’m feelin it. It’s that butterfly flutter when he kisses you on the cheek. When he opens the door for you. When he plays with your hair as you fall asleep. When he makes you wear your seatbelt, bringing the car to a stop on your first date while you’re still in the driveway because he’s mad you don’t wear it already. The reaction when he found out I text when I drive, or at least I used to. The smile you get when he bakes cakes with you for hours and is still happy when you finish late into the night. The stress he relieves when he lets you complain about a bad day at work and sincerely listens to what happened. When he says “We are doing homework tonight!” because he knows if he doesn’t make me I will put it off and he wants me to succeed. That he’ll giggle with me when I don’t know how to cook and have to call my mom for directions to finish any project. It’s the feeling you have when you are leaving him, and you just don’t want to go. When you get home and can’t fall asleep because he’s all you can think of. It’s a lot like those things, and so much more, and I love it!

Follow - Up

Well I got my life change, and it was not what I expected or planned on!! I guess that's what I get for thinking it was in my control. :) Anyways, I will post details about it later. I started school and it's harder than I thought. It's a tough balance between personal life and work and school! But life is going great and I'm happier than ever!!!

Life Change.......

So I have been feeling like I need a change in life lately. To move somewhere new or start something different. Just something big and dramatic! Any suggestions?

Busy Busy!!

I have been having so much fun the last couple weeks that I have totally neglected my blog. I thinks Spring has made its way to Heber and might actually stay this time! So what's new in my life......Well I started helping my friends Ken and Carrie Purdy with there office stuff after work so I have spent a lot of time with them at there home. (Who am I trying to lie to, I spent a lot of time there before, now I'm just actually accomplishing something!! haha) It has been a lot of fun and I have really enjoyed doing it. We had a big bbq with a couple of the guys from the Blaze football team sunday and it was so much fun! They were hilarious! We played rockband and Mafia for hours. If any of you have never played Mafia you have to try it. It's a lot of fun! I've been sewing a lot and made a couple really cute quilts. Amber and I are a little OCD so we went to Hobby Lobby after I got off work and bought the fabric. Then we stayed up until 4 am and made the whole dang quilt! It was a lot of fun though and we were able to celebrate Amber's birthday very early!! haha. That same night Melissa, Amber and I went to "The Last Song" for all of our birthdays and had dinner at the Olive Garden. It was a good time! So over all, I have been playing lots! I have decided to go back to school this summer and finish up my associates because I was so close to being done that I feel like it would be a lot of wasted time and money to not finish up. So I am looking forward to lots of new fun adventures and have been LOVING MY LIFE!!! Thanks to all of my real and true friends and amazing family for everything you have all done for me the last few months. I love you all!!
