Cute Mommy Moments.

I hope this happens to me when I'm a mommy.

My family.

Christmas reminds me that my family is crazy..
...but I would not trade them for anything.

I absolutely love my family.
I love everything about every single one of them.

Thinking about hanging out with my family gets me all sorts of giddy.
They are incredible people.

My mom is incredible in every way. She lights up a room when she walks in. She is 110% selfless and she never turns away the opportunity to help someone else. She never ceases to amaze me the things she can do and the way she makes things look so very easy. I know she would be there for me in a heartbeat, whatever it was I needed. I can count on her for anything and I'm SO proud to tell people she is my mother.

My step-father is fabulous. He has taken me and my sisters under his wing and raised us as his own without stepping on the toes of my own father. There is not a moment in a day that he isn't working. He is always shoveling, building, plowing, raking, mowing, bbqing or selling cars. He works 99% of the time. The things he can achieve and the creativity he has to build or construct anything is AMAZING. Sometimes he is grumpy and sometimes we argue, but his heart is full of gold. He tries to hide it, but he's not very sneaky.

Candie is my biggest sister and her heart is full of gold. She does absolutley everything for her kids and family. She always smiles and never worries about things. She is carefree, easy going and happy. Candie is always thinking about her friends, her family and her children. She never forgets to let me know that she loves me and she is always looking out for me. She is an incredible person and one of my very best friends.

Cassie is my next biggest sister and she is so great. She is 100% tomboy and 100% amazing. She carries a gun and is super tough but she has a ginormous heart. Whenever I am having a bad day and need some advice, I know that I can call Cassie and she will tell me exactly what I need to hear. She has never been afraid to be herself and she doesn't worry about what people think. Cass is who she is and doesn't let anyone change it. She insprires me to be myself and she teaches me not to be afraid.

See, I told you my family was amazing.
Seriously..the greatest group of people you will ever meet.
..and that's not even all of them.

Brandon, JJ and Sierra are my step-siblings and they are just as amazing.

..and when we all get together it's always a ginormous party.

My family is loud, proud and very much in charge.
When we get together we scream and we talk over eachother. We laugh, we make fun of eachother, we reminiss, we fight, we laugh some more and most of all, we love.

LOVE.
LOVE.
LOVE.

Seriously, my family is INCREDIBLE. I just can't even describe the love I have for them.

Be jealous.

Blog Worthy.

I knew blogging had gotten out of control when things started happening and I'd think "That's totally blog-worthy."

My glass is half full.

Pessimistic=party pooper.

I have a really hard time with people who can't find the good in things.

I try to be as positive I can, even about the shitty things in life.

So people who find something bad to say about everything really fluster me.

I don't tolerate excuses.  I don't put up with bad attitudes, whining, and negativity.  I struggle with flakey people, liars, grumpy goose's (geese?) and people who frown.

I understand bad days.  Really, I get it.  I have bad days all the time. I cry, complain and I whine. 

But then I snap out of it.

I realize that things aren't so bad and that no matter what happens, I will get through it.

People who can't see that fluster me.

I..

Don't..

Get..

It..

Please explain to me how a person can find negativity in things like: snow, Christmas, family, Costa Vida, and sleeping.

News Flash.

BIG NEWS.

I'm the new proud owner of an Associate's degree.

Here is the downside...

It doesn't count.

Apparently in the Nursing program you need to have your Associate's degree in nursing.
...not in general studies.

What..

The..
F..


So I'm starting over.

4 more years of school.
Can't wait.

Kristy Yamaguchi.

Went ice skating yesterday with Sierra..

and here is a little play-by-play.

I fall.

Sierra laughs.

Sierra skates towards me and says.."I just peed my pants."

...and she is still peeing.

Leaving a big trail of yellow right on the ice.

Then she says..

"What do we do? Just skate on and act like nothing ever happened?"

That is exactly what we did.

Don't worry about that big trail of yellow.

No big deal, really.

[I wish I knew how to upload videos but I don't..so go here.]

Poor Girl.

I don't mean to judge or be a brat, but seriously..people aren't very bright.

Some girl just came into the branch wondering why her card kept getting declined.

I explained to her she only had 12.00 left on her line of credit and nothing in checking, so if she were to try to buy anything for more than 12.00 it would be declined.

And she looked at me SHOCKED.
and I stared back at her and waited for her to understand.

Then she said..
"If I tell them to run it as credit, does it still come out of my checking?"

Ummm..are you SERIOUS?

Yes. It does.
You don't have a credit card on your account.
You only have checking and you are using your checking card.

So then she said..
"Well can you just transfer the money from checking to my card?"

No. I can't.
You don't have money in your checking, and your line of credit is almost maxed out.

Is she for real?
Do people really not know how debit cards work?
and do people seriously not keep track of how much money they are spending?

Are people REALLY this dumb?

Missing My Traveling Pants.

I want to travel.

..but here is the dilemma, I am afraid of being outside of my comfort zone.

I have this little bubble I stay inside and I dont' travel far from it.
I panick if I don't see things that are familiar to me and I hate when I can't find my way around.
...I shouldn't let that stop me from seeing the world though, right?

Am I the only one who gets homesick in Salt Lake City?

GNO

Girls night out.

Raise your hand if you are excited.

That's my hand raised.

Marriage

I really don't understand the reasoning behind people banning gay marriage.
I try really hard to listen to others point of view and try to understand their beliefs, but I just don't get it.

Dooooonnnn't get it.

Here are the rules of marriage in my book.

You must...
A-Be in love.
B-Be 18 or older.
C-Can only have 1 spouse at a time.
D-Must not be related.

That's all. Those are the only rules.
That prevents all problems.
All is well.
The end.
