Sunday was the BEST day! So awesome! 1st of all I got to go to not one, not two, but THREE Primary Programs! So fantastic! I love primary programs too much. I cry every time but that's okay. I blew off my own ward for it, its fine. It was better anyway ;) That is what I was grateful for yesterday! I was also grateful for the chance I had to spend half the day with the sweetest 4 week old baby! He was adorable! My mom has a client who is just a little bit older than me, it was her baby. He is really colicky and cries a lot so my mom offered to take him for the day so she could have a break. It was good for everyone I think. The parents, grandparents, and great grandparents got a break from the crying, my mom and I got to cuddle a baby all day, and my mom did some BodyTalk on the baby and rubbed some DoTerra oils on his feet and it calmed him down! It is so amazing to me what energy work can do. The best part of that was that we get him every Sunday now! That will be so much fun! I love babies!
Today I am grateful for Gloves, my coat, heaters, warm socks, and hot chocolate! It has been SOOOOOOO cold today! If today is any indication as to how this winter is going to be, I think I'll pack my bags up and head out to live with my Aunt Tonia in Hawaii! It is WAY to stinkin' cold here! I was talking to my friend Lance today and I was saying something about how I was freezing. He laughed at me and said "You're going to go to Alaska for your mission." Ha! as much as I loved Alaska, I hope he is wrong! I don't know if I could handle all the snow.
This week is going to FanTabUlous! Tomorrow is the BIG-ish day. Meeting with the bishop! :) Then I just have to get through Wonderful working Wednesday, Tired Thursday, and Finally Friday. Then I'm off to visit my buddies in EPHRAIM! I NEVER EVER in a Million years thought that I would be excited to go to Ephraim. But I miss my buddies and I'll get to hang out with a few of them which will be fun!
Well folks, TTFN; Ta Ta for now.

Days 7-10 of Gratitude
Day 7
I'm grateful for my education! Sometimes I hate school! Its repetitive and its hard! BUT I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to go to school and college. I know that it will bless me more than I know! I know that I will be even more grateful for it one day when I'm working or helping my own kids with homework etc.
Day 8
This might seem weird but I am thankful for Technology. Seriously. The world would be a completely different place without it! I use WAY TOO MUCH technology
i.e; My cell phone, my laptop, My TV/ Netflix, my iPod, and Horizon- the program I use at work. + Many more things!
Day 9
FOOD! I love food and I am so blessed to have it all around me! I've started a Gluten free diet this week just because we think I might have a slight allergy to it and BOY do I realize how grateful I am for food in general not just food without wheat flour. (But I will say gluten free brownies are DeLiGhTfUl! Yum!) I know how lucky my family is not to have to worry about how to pay for food with everything else. Even when I was away at school I knew that if things got any worse with my money situation, I could have called my parents and they could have bought me some groceries (not saying that they didn't do that out of the goodness of their hearts just because when I would come home to visit anyway (-: )
Day 10
This is really silly but I am EXTREMELY glad this happened today;
So There is what I'm grateful for today BUT I also want to share this because its really awesome;

*****Attention Students*****
There is a problem with Canvas I am unable to publish Party #2.
Currently there is no one available on campus to assist me. I will have to wait until Monday to correct the problem. I apologize for the inconvenience. I know How much you wanted to party this weekend.
That was seriously AMAZING! I have been stressing over this test and I didn't want to take it today but now I get to wait which means more study time!
OH P.S. My teacher is funny and he likes to call Tests Parties. I'm not really sure why but he does. So that's what this announcement really means.
So There is what I'm grateful for today BUT I also want to share this because its really awesome;
THIS MEANS THAT MY BISHOP HAS LOOKED OVER EVERYTHING (-my dental records after the picture) I AM SO STINKIN' CLOSE! :)
I am a little impatient but I know that its all in the lords time and it will get done when it's right. Just exciting!
That's all for now.

Gratitude
Well as you can see this 30 days of gratitude this is working out really well... Good thing I can make up for it.
Day 3. I am grateful for my job. I am so lucky to work at a place that I really like. It's not too stressful and I am contributing to the community. That's always a nice feeling! Sometimes I don't like dealing with the people when they are upset but over all it is still good. My boss is easy going, understanding, and honestly the sweetest person EVER! Seriously if you don't know her, then you need to come to the Pleasant Grove Library and introduce yourself to her because she will make you feel like a million bucks!
Day 4. I am grateful for my parents. I know I already said I'm grateful for my family but my parents need their own special thanks (especially because the 4th was their anniversary.)
My dad is strict but only because he cares. I am so glad that he is my dad. We are a lot alike so we fight a lot because we are strong willed. He is one of the funniest people I know. I wish I was funnier like him. He is the biggest prankster too! I cannot tell how many times he comes home and tells me the pranks that him and his friends play on each other at work. He loves to laugh, teach, and help others improve their lives. I love him.
My mom. What can I say about her? She is my best friend in the whole world!!!!! I love her SO SO SO much! I tell her EVERYTHING! (sometimes too much). She always supports me in what I do. She makes me laugh harder than anyone else. We can be serious, funny, nerdy, whatever! We are honest with each other even if the other doesn't really want to hear it. I am extremely grateful that she is my mother. I would be so lost without her! I know that my Father in Heaven knew about our special bond and put us together on this earth! And I thank him everyday for that!

This is my favorite picture of us! It's weird because of the colors but I still think it is sweet. It was just a random picture we took while playing with the iPad and it turned out adorable.
Day 5 I am thankful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I am SO proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I would be so lost if I didn't have the church. My plans in life would be different (ha ha especially in a couple months-- I wouldn't be off on a mission.) I KNOW that the church is true! I have a testimony of Jesus Christ and his atonement. I know that all of my sins are forgiven of me if I repent. I know that Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son in the Sacred Grove. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. The words are real and everything in it is too. The most important thing I've learned by being a member of the church is that God is loving and caring! He loves me and each and every person on this earth with an unimaginable amount of love! He created me body and spirit. I am perfect right now right here because God made me! I am so grateful for that love!
Day 6. I am grateful to live in this free country! I am thankful for the opportunities that are given to me here, especially as a woman! Not too long ago women didn't have the right to even vote. They hardly have a voice at all.
Now women vote, work, and do things that 100 years ago they didn't even dream would happen. I am grateful for that. I have so many other things too. I have the opportunity to worship freely. I can get married in the temple and have the government recognize it as a real marriage, most other places don't have that. In America I happily live in an industrialized world where I have luxuries like a house with heating and cooling, I have a car, I have a job, I have a cell phone. I have SO much because of this country. BUT I must add to this that I have this too because of the countless men and women who have risked their lives to gain and protect that freedom. I am grateful for all of them and their families! I know what it is like to have a dad gone in the military. It is hard and I am thankful for all other people who risk their lives to protect mine. It means more to me then words can say.
Oh yeah-- GO VOTE! Can't wait to find out the results tonight. It might be a long night. Ha ha.

30 Days of Gratitude.
It's November. For some that means that winter is finally coming (stay away snow! Yuck!), for others it means no shaving for a whole month, and for some it is the stressful time before Christmas. For me, it is one of my favorite months of the year, especially if it doesn't snow! I love the cool fall, have to wear a warm jacket weather, I love getting ready for the holidays, especially Thanksgiving! It is my favorite holiday! So in lue of it all, I am going to celibate this great month with 30 Days Of Gratitude. "My sincere, heartfelt prayer is that we may in our individual lives reflect that marvelous virtue of gratitude. May it permeate our very souls, now and evermore." ~Thomas S. Monson
I'm going to try my hardest to post for 30 days with things I am grateful for. I'm making up for yesterday today and giving two.
1. I'm grateful for my Family. They are so good to me and they are very supportive. I don't know where I would be without them!
2.I am also grateful for music! Seriously! There are not words that can describe my love for music. In fact, today, they started playing Christmas music. All morning while I was getting ready I listened to it and I teared up a few times. It just has such a good feeling to it! I really have needed some good feelings in my life. I've been a little down lately and Christmas music is just the thing to lift my spirits!
2 down 28 more to go! I'm excited! :)

Here's a tune. ♫
Basically I love this song. And the weird thing is Adam Sandler sings it!
Strange, no?
Anyway. Here is proof that i'm still alive

(as long as that spider I tried to kill but missed and lost doesn't eat me-- here's to hoping its just a grass spider or something that is NOT a wolf , hobo, or recluse. I'm paranoid. I know.)
Anyway. I'm working on an update blog with Yellowstone and the 1st 5/6 weeks of school! It's gonna be a good one... once it's finished.
Enjoy the music. Its a cute little song. Once you hear it you might want to watch the real movie clip from the Wedding Singer. It's adorable, it would only be better if it WASN'T Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.

Space and I
Anyone who knows me well, would know that I LOVE space! (Love is not even a good word. It is more than love.) I love to look at stars, and I love learning about space. BUT they would also know that I HATE science. I know it seems a little contradictory, But I'm just not into physics, and chemistry, and math stuff. I like to stay AWAY from that. So anyway, the reason I bring this up is because today, AUGUST 6, 2012 marks a big day for the USA, the world, and me too I guess. Today NASA landed a rover on Mars. "The Curiosity" So watch the clip below.
Okay well I guess I'll be done with space... for now. I'm looking forward to sharing about my trip to Yellow Stone this weekend and School starting in 3 weeks! Exciting! (I'm taking an astrology class :D hehe) Can't wait but I'm sad to see summer end.
Don't you just want to jump up and down with 'em? Don't your eyes start to water? Don't you feel the pride that all of those workers feel? No? Just me? Well... That is the ONLY reason I would ever want to change my major, work REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard to work for NASA and be apart of something like that, well and, ya know... Maybe take off in a rocket and orbit the earth. No big deal. I would risk my life for that opportunity. No joking.
Alright well anyways. If you want to know more about this mission and stuff here is a link to KSLs website and some good clips that explain the mission.

Also if you want to know some majestic places to go or things to watch to learn about space here are a few of my personal favorites;
1. The Museum of Flight Aviation History-- This is SERIOUSLY my favorite place on the planet!! BUT... it is in Seattle Washington. Kinda far away. But if you are ever in the area. GO!
3. The Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center um yeah. This is the coolest experience ever. They teach you about space and then you go on a space simulator. AWESOME!
4. Clark Planetarium-- pure awesomeness! Also where I got my LEGIT Astronaut pen. Just saying. Its cool!
See...
It's cool!-- and now you want one too
5.BYU Planetarium- They show you constellations and stuff!
6. Mrs. Sumsion's 6th grade class at Mt. Mahogany Elementary. Sorry to all of you who will never be able to enjoy her company. She is an awesome person/ teacher! She is the one who got me into space.
7. The movie October Sky. If you haven't seen it. That doesn't surprise me, but find it and watch it, or talk to me and I'll let you borrow my copy.
8. Angels and Airwaves.My favorite band. Just listen, close your eyes and you will feel like you are flying through the darkness looking out at the vast open atmosphere. Yeah. It's good stuff.
