This week has been a drag! I woke up on the 24th with the worst sinus headache. I had so much planned for the 24th but I just couldn't even move. Gaby came to my rescue and gave me some medication and even made me tea! All I remember was taking the medicine and taking a sip of tea and then off I went into dreamland. I woke up later that day and got ready for the festivities but I was not feeling too good. I am still sick but getting better today. I love you NyQuil!! I think that my immune system is failing me. The other day I was reading an article that said that if you exercised at least 25 minutes four times a day you could  avoid getting sick. They are wrong! I have been sick even at times when I have been exercising constantly. Today I decided that I need to start eating better and taking vitamins. I even contemplated on quitting chocolate and there is a support group for that! I am still thinking about it but for now I bought some vitamin B12 and Vitamin C! Here is to a healthier me! No more colds. I think I'll put this under my new years resolutions for 2011. Goal #879 Avoid getting colds! Be healthy!

My December

Oh, December how I love thee!  This month has been just wonderful. I love Christmas parties, food, family, trees, presents, the Savior, Christmas movies and the list goes on. I was in Las Vegas and LA last week. I went with an amazing group of girls. It rained the whole time that we were on vacation but we made the best of it! We had planned on going to Disneyland but that didn't happen because of the weather. Instead of Disneyland we went exploring and we even went to the West Side Story play. Man, I love plays! I need to make more time for plays. The funny thing about the trip is that Los Angeles area had a severe storm warning, flood warning and flash flood warning. It was quite the trip! It felt great to get home and to rest but I had to go to work the next day. I think that because of that I have a horrible cold but it was worth it. Christmas was great. I love it when I am surrounded by loved ones, great food, laughter and the holiday spirit. I hope that your Christmas was great too. Now that Christmas has come and is now gone I am left thinking about new years. Looking back at this past month and year it was just so great!  The memories that were made this year have a special place in my heart. This new year I want to make new adventures. Now I just have to make plans and goals so that I can make it happen!

Hello!!!

Hello?! Is anyone out there? Sometimes I wonder if anyone even reads my blog. I wish people would comment on my nonsense. So please feel free to comment :)
Life is good right now people. I just absolutely love my job. I am so lucky to work with my best friends and amazing co-workers. Lately I've been shopping and going to random activities. Lately my new hobby is bowling. Some of my awesome friends go to Fat Cats every Monday night and I've become a pretty descent bowler. I am thinking that I should buy myself a bowling ball and some shoes.. at the DI of course. I think that I would bowl even better if I had that. I can just see me walking into the bowling alley with my legit bag. I would sit down, get my ball out and polish it with my special ball shining cloth...:)
Anyway, tonight I learned to make these super amazing cinnamon rolls. I will have to share the recipe once I make them myself. Check my postings later for the recipe.
I love Christmas time but I have been eating a lot of crap lately. Good crap of course. Help! I need a sugar intervention. All I've been eating lately is Chocolate, hot cocoa, pretzels with chocolate, cinnamon rolls, popcorn with chocolate drizzled, Oreo's covered in chocolate. I am on the verge of getting diabetes.

How can I be...

Sundays are absolutely amazing for me. No matter what mood I am in I always come home after church just feeling so hopeful and uplifted. Today was testimony Sunday and I loved sitting there and listening to these people testify of Jesus Christ. It is very sweet to see these people just pour their heart out to anyone who will listen. I love feeling the spirit. I am truly so thankful for the tender mercies of the Lord.
Some brethren from my ward sang a wonderful song that I just have to share with you guys. I am a fan of the song. It is called "How can I be". I posted a video of it. This song inspires me to be of courage and reminds me of the work that we have to do. This week I challenge myself to be more like Jesus Christ :)

"How Can I Be"....Enjoy!

Goodbye November...........

Another month has come and gone. Two birthdays, Thanksgiving, black friday madness and a 5k have come and gone. Great memories were made. November was a great month to reflect on my life and to just stop and count my blessings. My heart has been truly full of gratitude. I just want to write down some of the things that I am grateful for..

First of all I am grateful to be alive, the gospel of Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father, my savior Jesus Christ, amazing friends, family, Utah, prophets, the priesthood, my covenants, my amazing loving cute parents, my siblings, nature, snow, mountains, awesome job, food, clothes, wool socks, chocolate, hugs, the cutest niece in the world, education, scriptures, my ancestors, my culture, the sun, stars, moon, love, warm rain, tender mercies, miracles (they do happen everyday), glasses, snuggies, holidays, transportation, technology, small world, trials, hard times, agency, eternal families, straightening irons(what would I do without them?!), make up, burts bees, medicine, for the beauty of the earth and for the random people in this world that make life interesting. There are just so many things that I am truly grateful for that if I name all specifically it would take FOREVER!

I can't help but feel like the luckies girls in the whole wide world!

Thanksgiving was great and it was spent eating and talking. My little cousins were watching cartoons and we even colored some books. It was great. 

This past month we celebrated Gaby's 26th birthday! On the morning of her birthday I woke up late and I had forgotten it was her birthday and she asked me if she could borrow my coat and I said no. I am horrible. Later that night we went out to dinner and then came home and spent the rest of the night being silly and laughing. I can't imagine life without my little sister. She's amazing. She will give you the shirt off her back she is that nice. Just don't mess with her because she can take you down like a sack of potatoes. I mean it because it has happened to me!

The Santa Run was freezing! Remind me to never sign up for a winter run ever! It was 15 degrees outside and I was dying. We did jumping jacks right before the race while we yelled "Ho HO Ho!" I was dying of laughter. I felt like I was in "The Santa Clause" movie. My time was 33minutes and by the end of the race I was sweating inside my coat. It was a pretty sick feeling sweating inside a puffy coat. No wonder I was the only one wearing a coat. Duh!

Dear November,
How I will miss thee. My heart is grateful. I will miss your beatiful colors and good weather. Happy anniversary Mom, Daddy, Gaby, Steve, Glendy and Jared. Happy Birthday Gaby, Eddie and Lucky.
Love, Me.

Welcome December...the craziest month of the year...
