Valentine's Day 2011

This Valentine's day has to be the most interesting valentine's day ever. Prior to the big day my dad told me I had a special valentine's day card waiting for me. I was so excited. I kept hoping maybe a boy has finally sent me a valentine's day card. Well all month long I have been trying to figure out who the mysterious valentine was. Valentine's day came and who did I find was my secret valentine... My dead cat, Fester. I almost died of laughter, but at the same time I was kinda mad that my dad had made me all excited for what was the most anticipated valentine's day so far. That's what you get for hoping and wishing.



I hope everyone enjoyed their valentine's day! Isn't my dad hilarious to think of giving me this for my valentine's day card.

Dreams and Things I love!

This is kinda of a random post. I decided to make a list of some of the things that most people don't know about me.

I got home from work today and decided to get a glass of water and put some lemon in it. One thing very few people know about me is that I love lemons. Not just lemon flavored things, but I actually love the fruit. I love the sour taste of lemon juice. It reminds me of summer. I don't know why, but it just does.
One day I hope to be able to learn how to make hand blown. I think this dream started when I visited a local hand blown glass store in Maine. I remember going in and looking at all the creations and how beautiful each piece was. So hopefully someday I can save up enough money and take a class and live my dream.
My favorite place to visit is Keystone, Colorado. My family has rented a cabin twice up there. The cabin is right next to this path that goes through the forest and down to a horse ranch. That is my favorite to walk. It is so peaceful and beautiful. If I could choose any house in the world to have I would pick this cabin. It is homey and comfortable.
Another favorite place of mine is the coast of Maine. There are lighthouses of all different colors and sizes strewn across the coast. I love lighthouses. Maine also holds one of the most fun places to shop. The outlets in Freeport where the L.L. Bean store is. When I lived in Massachusetts my family and I would drive up to Maine to go these outlets.
I love doing the dishes! Whenever I am having a bad day I go and do the dishes and it helps me to de-stress and turns my frown upside down.
One of my dreams is to go to Jerusalem. Ever since I was about 10 I have wanted to go there and walk where the Savior walked.
I love oranges! I love peeling them and getting that orange smell on my hands.
I love velour pants and jackets. I have multiple colors of this fabric. Sometimes I feel like a old lady, but they are just so comfortable.
I love my whale slippers! My good friend Abby and I went to Target and found these kid slippers in the $2.50 section. She got ducks, while I bought the whales. They are so fun to wear and are very comfortable.
I love the snow! I think it makes everything beautiful. But I like every kind of weather. Rain, sunshine, hail, and snow never bring me down.

One Happy Girl!

While driving home from work on the snow packed road, I thought I am so happy to be me. I have been criticizing myself and feeling like crap, but today I realized that I have a wonderful life. I have some many blessings all around me. I am beautiful just the way I am.

Today I decided to list the things that I am grateful for.

I am grateful for my job. I love the place that I work. I get to work with amazing people.

I am grateful for the view I get to see every morning while I am eating my breakfast.



I am grateful for the warm house I live in, especially on a day like today where the high is a -5 degrees.
Yikes! Good thing I am used to this type of weather!

I am grateful for my family and friends! I have the greatest family and friends! They are always there willing to listen to me and offer their hand to help me in whatever way they can.

I am grateful for my testimony.

I am grateful for my new calling. I love my the CTR 6 class. They are great examples to me. They definitely teach me more than I teach them.

I am grateful to live so close to a library. I love reading!

I am grateful for a healthy body.

I am grateful that I have a car so that I don't have to walk to work.

I am truly blessed! From today on I am going to strive every day to be a happy girl!
