Happy New Year Wish

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas.
I have always loved reading/writing poems.
Here is one I found today that I wanted to share.
New Years is such a great time to reflect and look forward to starting fresh and making some goals, and having things to look forward to. I know I am looking towards the new year with high hopes and I wish everyone and wonderful new year. I love you all.

My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.

A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day
Full of bright expectancies.

I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.

Why Me?

My whole entire life I have been deathly scared of spiders.
I remember when I was in elementary they asked us what we would do if we had a million dollars (Back then a million bucks went a long way!). Most of the kids said they would go to Disney Land, buy nice cars etc. Nope, I said I would hire someone to kill all of the spiders in the world. Haha.
Living in Hawaii for awhile, I had to learn to shake everything out, and double check everything or else there would be a spider the size of my head sneaking out somewhere. I hate Kane Spiders...I used to have nightmares about them, and still sometimes do.
Well I think because I have this fear I literally attract them to me. I am not joking. I remember seeing one scene in the Arachnophobia movie where there is a spider in the shower. So, I always check the shower up and down before showering because of that movie, and I shake out my towel before drying off. Today was no different. I searched the shower high and low before stepping in. I was shaving my legs and had just gotten done lathering up my knee. I turned to set the soap down and grab the razor and boom! There was a spider on my knee!! How did this happen? I was just lathering up and didnt see a thing! I had already checked the shower, and my leg was perched up on the window seal. I about died. I was squealing and trying to get out of the shower, I knocked all of the bottles off the seal, and got soap in my eyes. :( I hate em.
About a week ago I was about ready to crawl into bed and there was one in my sheets.
I just want to cry thinking about it.
Thanks to my wonderful loved ones (including my 4 year old niece) I dont have to kill them myself. Do you think If I pretend to love them they wont bother me anymore?

Chelsenezer Scrooge

One of my very favorite things to do this time of year is to go out and find fun gifts, and come home and sit by the fire, pop in a Christmas movie and wrap all my goodies.
For some reason, I am being such a Scrooge when it comes to shopping this year. I literally have not bought one single thing this year for Christmas. I dont know what to get anyone, and I kind of hate just buying something to buy. I want to buy something thoughtful, and something that people will enjoy. I am having no such luck.
So, since today is the 15th and I dont have one thing, I thought I would blog about my bad attitude so that I might turn things around and start being productive and enjoy!
I am just not a fan of the crowds. So...with all my complaining out of the way, wish me luck!


I dont want to leave this on a complete downer mood. I am totally enjoying my Sarah McLachlan Christmas CD! Love every word of it.

Thanks friends!

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! As this time of year rolls around I think of the millions of things I am so grateful for. One of the many is friends. I have such amazing friends and I don't know where I would be without them. 2 years ago when I was job searching I had 2 job offers and couldn't decided where to work. I chose Del Sol because of all the young energetic people. I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to meet new people. What a great decision. I have made some of the most amazing friends from work. A few of them took me to dinner for my birthday and we had such a fun time.
Heidi had to go to the dentist so we hung out until she got back.

Me, LaNae & Meg

Silly Em
Once Heidi came home we headed up to Park City for dinner.

We went to dinner at a place called Baja Cantina. I had never been there before but the food was super good. And Heidi was such a good sport seeing how her mouth was completely numb from the dentist!
I dont know why, but I get really embarrassed when people sing happy birthday to me. But just in case I dont get embarrassed enough, the restaurant brought this for me to wear as they sang!

I would totally recommend this place. It was really yummy. Thanks for dinner Em.

Em knows me too well. She knows how much I love Rocky Mountain caramel apples.
So after dinner we swung by and got some incredibly delicious treats. There are so many to chose from. I am kind of boring, I just like the plain ol caramel apple with sliced almonds. Yu-um.

We drove back down the mountain where they had cupcakes and more goodies waiting for me. I ate SO much food that day. Then they brought out the gifts, they spoiled me.
Em gave me a movie (we both LOVE going to movies and watching movies), and a pair of super comfy Pj bottoms that had cute stars on them (we both love stars too!) with some really cute striped sock/slipper. Thank you so much again.
Heidi gave me a book that she says they all worked on, but I have a pretty good feeling that she put A LOT of work into it.
It was the most thoughtful gift I have ever been given. She scrap booked a whole birthday book for me. She had gotten in touch with my family secretly and had them write me birthday wishes and send her pictures. She then contacted some of my good friends are out on missions and they did the same. She also got in contact with one of my old high school soccer friend, and then friends at work, and made this amazing birthday book.

It just meant the world to me, and I cant express my gratitude for all the time, effort, money and everything that went into making that book.
Thanks to all my friends, family and loved ones for making my day so special.
I love you all.

One Man Band

My sister and her babies moved back home yesterday :(
I miss them already.
She packed up her stuff yesterday and asked that I watch her kids while she got everything together. Holy smokes does she have her work cut out for her! She will do great.
She went to grab us some lunch and I had the twins to myself. They both got hungry and fussy at the same time! I didnt know what to do! I couldnt figure out how to hold them both and feed them because the little stinkers arch their backs!
How did I do sis?

We miss you!

Go Utes!!

May the best man or woman win!

I dont usually get into politics but I cant get enough of it this election. I am however, ready for it all to be over and done.
My mom sent me this funny picture this morning. I love it.

If only it were as easy as reality TV to pick a a good president. I had an idea at the first of the election that we should put the canidates in a house together and throw them different situations to see how they would react. And then everyone could send in their little text message votes. That way America may get involoved in chosing the next president. Darn, I could have made millions.
