As I Wonder.

I used to wonder about many things,

like if i'm going to get married, and when that will be.

where i'll serve my mission.

what i'm going to be like as a mom.

where i'm going to live.

what i'm going to major in.

when winter will finally hit.

when my next letter from my best friend will show.

how many grandchildren i'll have.

or how old i'll live to be.

now i wonder one simple thing.

all. the. time.

When am i going to wake up to find no stiffness in these muscles of mine?!?!

P90x, it's a love hate relationship.

Kina Grannis.

ordinary life.

being a cashier i am often referred to as merchandise.

for example, today i was renting out a carpet shampooing machine,

and my uncle told them i would "ring them up" (ha inside joke) and send them on their way.

the customer then turned to me and said "what? she doesn't come with it?"

talking as if i weren't standing right there.

HA! like i haven't heard that one before...

it happens all the time, with plumbing,

or caulking,

or "ringing them up" for a broom.

"you mean you don't come with it?"

"aren't you going to come along and help me?"

its gotten to the point that it is ridiculous.

but i deal with it, cause that is my job.

and all in all i don't mind, i just like for the stories that it gives to tell later.

MY Television Series.

i have myself some shows that i watch religiously.

what are these? well, if you know me well, you don't even have to ask.

however, there are many that don't know me well.

so let me introduce you to MY Television Series.

first we have what i have been watching for about a year now.

The Vampire Diaries.

i love Stefan, despite the rough patch that he is going through.

i love Damon as well,

but i have always been a die hard Stephan fan.

second, we have...

White Collar.

Neal Caffrey.

He makes me swoon.

and third is....

Robin Hood.

Robin is soooo handsome.

there is something about his "steal from the rich to give to the poor" that makes me weak at the knees.

i have also found that i have a passion for introducing these television series to people.

so that i can talk to people about them.

i mean, its not fair if i keep a knowledge of the best television series out there to myself.

so here i am, telling all you lovely people who read my blog about them.

watch them, then lets discuss.

if you have a Netflix account, all three of these shows are there.

watch them.

The Joys of Christmas Time for a Cashier.

when asked why the Christmas season is my favorite time of year, i reply with a quick "because every one is happy, and lovable."

working retail can prove to be quite painful at times.

customers have a really effective way of ruining your day in a matter of seconds, but during the Christmas season, i need not worry about my days getting bombarded by grumpy customers, because they are rare at this time of year.

Christmas season is the happiest time for cashiers.

here's to happy customers.

i love christmas.

Cheers.

Monday's

... Normally, i hate them with a passion.

Today however is different.

i have a spring in my step,

a glitter in my eyes,

and a smile far too wide.

why is this? oh, just because last night i made the decision that i am coming home at the semester break!! and can i just tell you this? it is the greatest decision of my life. i see the light at the end of the tunnel, and i'm running for it. head first. cause i am so sick of Snow College, and living away from my family and friends. i'm ready to live my life with the people that i love most.

Mom, Dad, Brandon, Ash, Derek, Caden and Kaylee.

Stace, Brooke, Cai, Kate, and Ash.

Of course, my work out buddy, Linds. :)

Pleasant Grove? Count me back in.

My Dad.

if you don't know him, you are missin' out on something else, I'll tell you what.

i love my dad. more than words can say.

sometimes, i don't talk to him for a week and a half, and i don't realize how much a miss him till i hear his voice on the other line, and i get misty eyes.

trying to tell you how much i love my dad is like trying to describe the smell of freshly fallen rain, the only way to discribe it, is how it is.

so here is is,

plain and simple.

i love my dad!!

ignore the weirdy to the left.

This is part of my simply wonderful family.

Dad? We'll keep you around for a long, long time.
