So Blessed

Last night I went to Savior of the World.

If you don't know what this is it's a play centered around Christ's birth and resurrection.

And it's amazing.

One of my dearest friends plays Mary and she was phenomenal.
The spirit was so strong and I was fighting back tears the whole time.
I get choked up just thinking about it.

I was able to see dear friends I hardly ever see.
I love catching up and having it be like you've never been apart.

This has caused me to reflect on my life and how
so very blessed I am.
Now, I won't go into too much detail
cause I won't be able to stop if I do.

But let me just say I feel so lucky:

To have the husband I do.
He puts up with my quirkiness and emotional times and still lives life, laughs with me, and loves me.

To have the family I do.
We have grown up dancing together, sharing embarrassing moments and laughing non-stop.
To be welcomed and loved into my new family unconditionally.

To have the friends I do.
They are basically my family too. I am who I am today because of all the many wonderful people I have had the privilege of calling friends through the years.

To have the job that I do.
Some days I struggle to make it through, but to think of the poor clients living in those countries that have nothing and with just a tiny bit of hope and financial support, they make a life for them and their children. Microcredit is truly a blessing for all.

I have to stop writing there, but my heart is completely full today.
I know this is not my 'normal' kind of blog post, but I needed to share how blessed I truly am. Thank you for your examples in helping to shape the person that I am today.

New Moon

I read the Twilight series.
Liked the books.
A lot really.
Even found myself caught up a little in the
fantasies of having a vampire boyfriend.
In reality, I would probably be FREAKED out.
But luckily, it's not reality.

I saw Twilight.
I liked it.
Wasn't bad, but not really my favorite either.
I had a hard time getting past Edward and Bella's acting.
They are the main characters,
which makes this difficult,
but I half expected it.

I saw New Moon.
I did like it.
Had a great time hanging with the girls.
It's been a while since I've read the book so it was
a great reminder of what happens.
Still not believing Bella or Edward.
But Jacob?
I am becoming quite a fan.

P.S. For all you Twilight/New Moon fanatics and haters alike,
this is pretty hilarious...

My Rejected New Moon Screenplay

TGIF

Its noon on friday.

And I am going home.

I love my job.

Have a STUPENDOUS weekend!!!

home sweet home

Here are some pictures of our cute little apartment.

We often dream of what it'll be like
to be in our own house one day.

But that is FAR off.

So in the meantime we'll make the most of what we have.
And watch a lot of HGTV.



Do you remember the time
we were trying to sell our monstrous tv?

Well, it didn't sell.
(surprise, surprise)

But that didn't stop us from getting our
amazing hdtv.
You are welcome over any time.

Are you wondering if the coffee table lifts up
to make eating or writing
while sitting comfortably in the couch still
much easier?

YOU BET IT DOES.

And there you have it.
Yay!

P.S. We've already made some changes...
Couch and love sac... gone.
Pics of the new, AWESOME couch coming soon.

Come on and Dance!

... Just not like the girl in this video.
I have been like her many times in my life.

Alone in your room.
The music comes on.
You feel it in your bones.
You can't help but dance!!!

But I would never,
Never,
NEVER
tape myself.

Things happen that can be embarrassing.
Like this video.

But I am oh so grateful that she decided to tape herself.
It gave me a good 5 minutes of replaying and
Laughing Out Loud.

(Please don't judge me and think I'm a horrible person.
But I really did think this was hilarious.)

Weakness

I can be a pretty deep person sometimes.

And with a title such as "Weakness" it would seem that is where this is going.

But that would wrong.
I'm very much on the surface right now.

What is my weakness you ask?


RIDICULOUS.

i LOVE them.
i CAN'T get enough.
they WILL be the death of me.
I'm sure of it.

But how can i resist this?

Oh so chocolaty, caramely, peanuty,
ooey-gooey goodness!
I just ate one and am craving another.


Get this in my life.
NOW.
Please?

I'll be your Snack Pack

Distractions.
They are EVERYWHERE.
For those that don't know me, let me tell you this:

I am VERY easily distracted.
VERY.

Like right now.
I'm at work and was doing so good on getting
the annual report going
(I've never even seen one in my life)
and the boss wants to go to lunch.

SWEET.
Free lunch.

We get back and I have every intention on
getting back to work on this report.

What have I been doing the past 45 minutes???

Catching up on blogs.
Checking facebook.
Laughing atAwkward Family Photos
and People of Wal-Mart.
Skyping.
And having a treat: a snack pack.


I love them all.
(except tapioca. nast.)

Can I get you a spoon for that?

NO.
I'll eat mine with the lid thanks.
