2009 Summer Bucket List!

With the weather being so nice the past couple of days I have been thinking a lot of what I want to do this summer. I have never really made a list of things I wanted to do… I kinda just played everything by ear, but this year I wanted to make a list. So here it goes :)

* Go on a Road trip!

*Plant flowers for mom and have a plant in my office (I have so much light in my new office with my HUGE windows!! and it’s one of the first things everyone tells me… “you need a plant” haha so I decided I am going to get one and try to keep it alive! I have bad luck with plants haha hopefully it will change with this one! Keep your fingers crossed!)

*Go camping!!!

*Learn how to fish- I have done the fishing as a kid with a string and a stick but this year I want to learn how to really fish… this will be interesting since I don’t like touching fish haha

*Go Wakeboarding!! I can’t wait for this one!! I have only gone once but it was so fun!!

*Get my CNA- I am one test and $70 away from getting it. I keep procrastinating this and I just need to get it done. I always find something else the money should go to. Maybe putting it on the list will push me to really get it done.

*Take a cooking class!!

*Put together a recipe book with all my favorite recipes. I have wanted to do this for a long time and have started so many. My family has great recipes and I want to make a cute book with all of them in there and than make copies for all the girls in my family.

*Have lots of BBQ’s with family and friends! I think it’s a great way for everyone to get together!!

*Learn a new craft- not sure yet what I want to learn… have any suggestions? Maybe…sewing?? I have always wanted to learn how to sew something other than a blanket… although I do love making those… maybe I will make a quilt for my bed. hmm…

*Paint my room/house- I am sick of boring white walls that get dirty so easily! I am really excited for this one!! :D

*Go to the zoo!! I haven’t been in ages! Last time it was filled with friends and family, tons of butterflies, monkeys, and screaming Lemurs haha

*Clean up the yard and fix the fence in the front of my house.

I’m sure plenty more will be added to this list but for now that will do. It seems like a fun summer is in store and hopefully I will be able to accomplish it all! :D

Happy Birthday to ME!!

So a couple weeks ago I turned the big 21 lol. It was such a great, relaxing day!! I went into work for a few hours in the morning but after that I spent the whole day with my sisters! They are soooo cute! They turned our family room into a spa!! The had everything! Manis, Pedis, face masks! Sooo fun! They know me good! I just love getting my nails done! lol. They got me some movies for my birthday and so during the mani's and pedi's we watched The House Bunny!

Such a funny movie! I love it! We spent most of the day just pampering ourselves, eating pizza, taking pictures (I don't have any right now but will put some up as soon as I do,) laughing, just having a good time! Later that night we ended the day by going to Denny's. It was just a fun way to end the night! We were laughing the whole time! Of course took more picutres and made a little video lol. (again will be posted once I have them.) Thank you girls for a wonderful birthday! I wouldn't have wanted to spend it with anyone but you guys! I LOVE you all!!

Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way.

So recently I have really been into quotes by Dr. Seuss. I LOVE them! The are all so fun. They are one of my cures for a sad day! So... I just wanted to share some of my favorites with you. Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way. Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good. Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.

Happy Birthday Uncle Jason!!

Last Thursday was my Uncle Jason's birthday! Happy Birthday! We all got together at my grandmas restaurant for a surprise dinner. It was so much fun! I hadn't seen a lot of my family since Thanksgiving so it was good to see and play with them all! Have fun in Cali guys! Drive safe! See you on New Year's Eve!! Merry Christmas to you and all the family in Peru! Love you all! :D

Christmas Pictures

Last year we started a new tradition of taking pictures for my mom's christmas present. This year my brother Larry joined us and I LOVE the pictures. Here is a slide show of some of my favorites!!!

Tagged... 6 Quirks

6 Quirks.... 1. I can't not go to bed with out listening to at least one song and I have to fall asleep sleeping on my left side on the right side of the bed (except for when I stay at my mom's house... for some reason I have to sleep on the left side of the bed there.) 2. I can't leave my house with out wearing my braclet my sister got me. I go crazy and freak out if it is not on my wrist and I can't do anything until I find it (cell phone applys to this as well lol.) 3. When writing something, if I have a blue pen I have to use it. I can't use any other color if I know a blue pen is near (with the exception of doing taxes at work, I have a certain black pen that I use and make sure I have a good one everytime I have to do taxes.) 4. I always text myself things I need to remember so I don't ever forget them. 5. I can't work unless I have music playing in the background. It doesn't matter what is being played as long as there is some sort of music i'm good! Also when driving my car, and I always catch myself singing along... sometimes to songs I didn't even know I knew. 6. When getting gas I have to fill my tank up. I will not go to a gas station unless I know I have enough cash to fill the tank. Tag: Jade, Hayley and Tiah
