gullible.

"hey dad, if you say gullible really slowly, it sounds like oranges."

"guuulliiiiblllleee.... no it doesn't."

"... have you really not gotten it yet??"

we both start busting up laughing.

our adventures

This winter i have gone snow shoeing with my mom and dad quite often.

sometimes it would be just me and mom, others me and dad, and occasionally, we went together. but i found that when i went with one or the other, we'd appreciate total opposite things.

for example, when mom and i went, we were captivated by the small snow balls that our poles would occasionally make that would role down the hill.

this picture shows a few paths of some accidental ones.

we went up some super intense hills. its worse than it appears here. i swear.

Then, when dad and i go, we save trees.

and relate them back to gospel principles.

but going with one or the other, always turns out to be an adventure. and i love every minute of it.

Hey Ma!

ILOVEYOU!

Today is my mom's birthday, now i don't know how old she is turning, sorry ma, but i think that she would probably rather keep it that way.

i love my mom so stinking much, i can't even express to you.

and today as i was pinning on Pinterest and i found this pin.

and i loved it.

so here it is.

my mom is still here. and i am thankful for it every minute of every day. i don't know what i would do without her. i had a taste of it, and i hope and pray that i will never have to go without. she's the greatest.

so ma, here's to you, and a very happy birthday!!

ILOVEYOU!!

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.
