Days 16-22

This week included something that I hated.

This week included my favorite thing thus far.

This week included a fail. So sad.

Day 16

I wrote 'Thank You' notes to my two bosses

This should not have been a new thing.

It's sad that it took this to do that.

Day 17

I slept NAKED!!

This is the one that I did not enjoy!

I hate sleeping in just my underwear.

I am a PJ woman and I'm proud to say that!

Naked = toss and turning throughout the night

Day 18

I tried a new recipe

I made Butterscotch Brownies

This was the fail.

I should have the mousse like everyone told me to do.

Day 19

Went to Cheesecake Factory and tried a new cheesecake

Dutch Apple Caramel Struesel

I was hesistant. But it turned out to be AMAZING!

Day 20

I went to a friends house to play 'Ticket to Ride'

Fun game, I recommend it.

I even won!

By two points!

I love beating my friend who is very competitive

Day 21

A day with no internet at work

This one was by far my favorite day!

Of course I had to get on the internet for work.

It's impossible to do my job.

My only source of entertainment was reading

If you know me at all, I hate to read.

My friend who gave me the idea to do this gave me some of his books.

I read 'Tuesdays with Morrie' before lunch!

That NEVER happens!

Amazing book, I learned so many things that I hope to carry with me always.

Thank you Friend for the best day on this fun journey!

Day 22

Play 'Super Mario Brothers' & 'Mario Kart'

I hated the first but had a blast with the later!

Clearly I had to sit directly in front of the TV

to steer correctly and hold the steering wheel

out in front of me, but it was so fun!

8 Days left!

Gratitude Rocks!!!!

- Work, Hanging out with old friends, holding babies (not the nephew, still waiting), overcoming a sickness, Holly! She is one of the sweetest people I know and will miss seeing her everyday. I love you, Holls Balls!!!!

It's been fun trying to figure out what I am going to do that day.

Fun getting the people involved in my little tasks.

It's just been fun.

Day 1

Laying next to a lane line

Those lines are really long.

Day 2

Kipnap a friend to take them to breakfast

Day 3

I wanted to kiss someone at midnight for New Years

but alas I was sick in bed

so....

I got up on the other side of the bed that morning

Think about it, have you ever done that?

Day 4

Eat cake & ice cream together

I usually eat those separate

Day 5

Eat "soft toffee"

A friend had me try his family deliciousness

He talked it up too much.

Day 6

Day 7

Go down my stairs, head first on my stomach

Yes, my old body did not like that one bit

And maybe those boxes have been there since Christmas

Day 8

Wore a hat to work

This one was fun.

The boys were making comments.

22 more days.

Fun!!

Gratitude Rocks!!!

- End of a trial, snuggle under a blanket, sleep, a healthy body, end of a boring week

30 days to 30

So...here is my plan.

I hope it pans out.

I am getting ready to turn...*cough* 30!

And I think it will be fun and interesting to do something new everyday.

30 days to 30.

I will start the 30th and end on the day of my birth, the 28th.

I have some ideas but I would love to get some ideas from you as well.

I will be updating weekly of the things I did for each day.

I plan on not only making 2011 a year to remember but also the beginning of a new decade for Yours Truly. Holla!!

Here is a picture from my last birthday.

Happy times!

Gratitude Rocks!!!

- The true meaning of Christmas, cheese, a happy text, new beginnings, Boyd K Packer, leaves falling in front of me

I smile has finally emerged

I am so happy to say that I finally

see light at the end of the tunnel.

Gratitude Rocks!!

- patience, friends who are always there to listen, a bathroom to say a quick prayer in, endurance, Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs (he has been a terrific distraction)

Gratitude Rocks!!

Here is a list of the things that, at this time in my life, I am grateful for.

- My Savior Jesus Christ. Let face it, without him, our lives would be lonely. He wants us to be happy. And through our darkest moments he is there to comfort us. Thank you!

- My eternal family. I have without a doubt the ultimate best family. They are always there for me when I need them the most. I can always count on them to make me feel better. Plus, I love that we tease each other, it makes me stronger. Thank you!

- Sincere hugs. There is nothing better in this world then a hug that had's the sincerity behind it. And trust me I can feel the difference. Thank you!

- My job. Working with the best people in the world has been the best distraction a girl could ask for. Thank you!

- A hot shower. I know weird, right? But it's true. I was thinking that this morning when my room was super cold and I needed to get warm. Thank you!

- Sister Elaine L. Jack. I am currently reading her book 'Eye to Eye, Heart to Heart' and it truly is amazing. It is exactly what I need right now and I feel that the book is written directly for me. Thank you!

- A priesthood blessing. I love the power that comes when a priesthood holder comes to my house, places his hands on my head and gives me a blessing of comfort. I cry through the whole thing and am eternally grateful for every word that is spoken. Thank you!

- A box of tissues. Those babies have come in handy. Thank you!

- My space heater at work. My office has disconnected the heat in our building. My desk is granite. Coldstone could seriously open shop here on my desk in the winter and serve ice cream, it is that cold. Thank you!

- Prayer. I heart the fact that anytime, anywhere, I can pray to my Heavenly Father and ask for guidance, love, comfort or express my gratitude. It's such a great blessing in my life having that communication. Thank you!

I heart Thanksgiving! Thank you to everyone and everything in my life. I love you!!!

My Boys

These are "My Boys"

They are roommates.

They are each different.

They are smart.

They are easy-going.

They are genuine.

They make me laugh.

They are simply AMAZING!

Chase, Dave, Yours Truly, Tyson

Chase is one smart cookie. This guy works with computers and knows all about them and their special little tricks. I saw his desktop and it is covered with icons. A little overwhelming for me but he understands it all. He has a photographic memory and can pretty much remember every scripture and talk given in church. He is a talker and can talk and "argue" with you about anything. This guy kissed a random girl at New Year's! (I learned that last night) He teaches me something new each time I see him. He makes me smile.

Dave is my best friend. This guy has never met a stranger. He makes everyone he meets feel comfortable. He is hard working in every aspect of life. He is currently in PT (physical therapy) school and studies ALL the time. Sucks for me but I appreciate his dedication. He has confessed many times though that he just stops studying and reads movie updates, surf the web, watch 'Friends', etc. He would rather be playing with friends and enjoying the good times. He and I are similar in so many ways but are different in so many ways, so being with him is always fun and interesting. I swear this guy wants to be a "gangster." We argue like brother and sister and we do the nuh-uh and yeah-hah all the time. It's quite comical. He makes me smile.

Tyson is the kindest person I have ever met. This guy will give the shirt off his back if needs be. I have never heard one judgement come out of him about anyone since I have known him. He loves everyone and will do anything for you. If you are having a bad day he is the guy you want to be around. He will be that genuine listening ear and will give you the advice that you need but didn't think that you needed. He is so faithful in the gospel. He loves his family so much and is always showing me pictures. He plays the piano and writes his own music. Super talented. He makes me smile.

This picture shows all of our personalities.

Chase - "I don't really care what you think of me"

Dave - "That's right, I'm bad"

Yours Truly - "I'm sweet and sassy."

Tyson - "I'm here, now what?"

I will be sad & happy when these fine gentlemen find their eternal companions.

The girls that snag them will be the 3 luckiest girls.

*disclaimer - I know some of you may want to comment on me and these guys well go ahead. They do not read this as they don't know that I have a blog.

Gratitude Rocks!!!

-CES Firesides, surprise visits, good conversations, being dressed in all white, my hair, being told how much you mean to one person.
