Thoughts, Thoughts

Here are some things that on my mind lately:

• Whenever I'm having a bad day at work and someone takes my survey, later that evening I pray that they will be blessed with amazingly great blessings for helping me out (so you should take surveys and receive blessings).

• I'm kind of feeling surreal lately because everyone I know is just now getting engaged/married and I'm about to celebrate my 1 yr anniversary. It makes me feel old, except everyone else is older than me. Guess I was just ahead of the curve? Maybe I'm just emotionally old...? I don't know....

• For the few people that I know who got married around the same time as me or after me are ALL having babies. Sometimes I'm jealous of them, but then I think of the costs, and the hours of sleep they are not getting, and all the awesome quality time I get with Garett right now and I'm okay. 

• My little brother is going to college in a month. I hear the words but they aren't really sticking yet. I will forever imagine everyone 3+ years younger than me as 8 yr olds and there they should stay. 

• I'm at this point where I feel like I've been in college forever even though I'm only getting my Bachelors, but I'm getting trunky. I can only imagine how people in grad school+ must feel. All I can say is bless your souls!

• I really want to get into running, problem is I hate doing anything alone and I want to run in the mornings and Garett wants to run at night.. Any suggestions?

• I also want to be super crafty except I am terrible at hoarding random stuff and for the little stuff I do hoard, it ends up stored away somewhere and I can never find it. Guess it just wasn't meant to be....

• Also I'm finally going to get my legs tan! Now that it is August and will be cold by the end of September....but to be fair I have the nastiest top-of-my-feet-only-sandal tan lines. Meaning only parts of the tops of my feet are tan, then there is a straight line where my pants stop and my legs are WHITE. Needless to say I'm still wearing boots to church because my tan line is super noticeable and awkward (and now that my ward is tiny, it will be even more apparent).

• Though I am not baby hungry, I am pet hungry. I keep seeing all these beautiful dogs and cats everywhere and it reminds me how much I love pets. Pretty sure as soon as I graduate/have a house I want a dog. They're too sweet for their own good. 

• One of the best feelings in the world is when your home is clean for more than 2 days in a row! Mine has been clean for almost 2 weeks! It is amazing! Clean home=happy wife! 

Hope all is well with y'all! Have a great rest of your week/weekend!

A Cute Fun Blonde Blessing

Well two for that matter.

Meet Nikki.

The girl that has changed my life in more ways than one.

When coming out to school last March I was nervous that I would not make very good friends.

My father blessed me that I would make important friends in life.

Little did I know how important....

Very quickly I met Nikki and we clicked like we had known each other for ages.

We were inseparable.

Quite literally attached at the hip it seemed.

She taught me so many important lessons that I could not write them out unless I had a book to fill them with.

We had lots of good times, crazy memories and even shared some hard times together.

But we were always together.

In the fall things changed and we started going our separate ways just a little.

But not without Nikki giving me the biggest blessing I will ever know.

A guy from her math class that was "not her type" but after much joking she sent him my way.

And after a walk in the apple orchards my life would never be the same again.

That boy from her math class quickly captured my heart and I threw away the key, for it belonged to no one else.

And after another walk through that apple orchard, my life is changing one more time.

So this is the start of my new beginning. =]

And I will embrace this adventure.
