Happy day to everyone! Yes, I am in a wonderful mood! Long weekends always do that to a person don't they? ;)
So the rumor is true, I chopped my hair. Literally. Like almost all of it. Went from below my shoulders to above my ears! I look like my brother...but I am much prettier than my brother ;) haha jokes. But really...
I just got back from my new job. Oh yeah...not a lot of people knew I was going somewhere different, but that's because it just happened. And I had to finish off my time at Discovery Depot. I am now at Best Friends, which is the daycare for the hospital in Logan, well the day care for their employees. I mainly did more paperwork today, and went to lunch with my new boss, but I can already tell you it will be fabulous. I am excited.
So, I've got about 2.5 hours until my husband gets home. It is great to have time to do what I want. This week I get to pick my hours, ANY hours. Of course I'll definitely do 8 hour days, but I can start those 8 hours when I choose....I wouldn't want to look like a bad employee, plus I really do want to be there so it will be just fine. The freedom of it all just makes it so great!
Anyway, now I will be thankful...
#144...I am thankful for people who care. When I wrote my last blog post and was really depressing and just blah my older sister texted me to make sure I was okay, and my mom called me about the same thing as well. It's always nice to know people care! And for the record...I was just being dramatic in my last blog post, so no worries :) all is well. And life is GREAT!
#145...I am thankful for energy! I think I almost forgot what it was like to have energy. There was a point for a while that I just did not want to go to the gym...I thought I was just being a fat lazy person...but the other day, I had energy, and I was pumped to go to the gym! In fact, I'm excited to go to the gym in a little bit here too! It's soooo nice to have energy.
#146...I am thankful for the primary presidency that we have. They are so awesome and definitely make me feel like Kohn and I are doing a good job. And that's always nice to have that reassurance, especially in something you've never done. And especially when you aren't sure if the kids are learning from you or not. It's always great also when we test the kids and the know the answers! :)
#147...I am thankful for cuddly babies! Jaxon was here this weekend and all I wanted to do when we were in Weston was hold the little man. It was my favorite when he just cuddled up to me and slept. Oh I love him! And I sure hope that Kohn and I have cuddly babies!
#148...I am thankful for little smiles and giggles from kids. Today I was with the 1 year olds for a little bit, and I was playing "peek-a-boo" with some of them in a play house thing, and they had the most precious laughs! It was such a simple game but they sure loved it! And I even loved it too! It was fun! And it was just another one of those little things that reminds me why I love what I do!
#149...I am thankful for traffic lights. Random, but so true. It is nice to know when you CAN go, rather than checking both ways over and over to make sure the coast really IS clear. Traffic lights are fabulous. As long as their green, and you don't have to sit at a red one for years! ;)
Oh life is great...life is good. I am excited about what is happening in our lives. I love it all! I love my husband and I love the life we are living! And I know it's only going to get better! :)

Make It Happen
Boy am I in a very solemn mood. Solemn is probably the word I'm looking for. Today wasn't really that bad of a day. I mean yeah there were some bummer things that happened, but all in all I couldn't complain. But then I got home...and things sort of just put me down. I will say this---it's the worst feeling ever when you work so hard at one thing for over a year and then someone who always seems to be a step ahead of you, no matter what, has been working on it for less than a month, and they've already done tons better than you. It sucks. And I'm getting really tired of it.
With that said....let me be thankful and stopping being so depressing.
#139...I am thankful for good, family friendly entertainment. Now days it can definitely be hard to find. But I have my go-to's. GSN and the Food Network. Love me some Family Feud. That's about as good as it can get anymore.
#140...I am thankful for a reliable car. We recently got a brand new car! 2012 Corolla LE. And it's red! Oooooh yeah! My favorite! It's nice to know that the breaks aren't going to go out any second, the steering wheel doesn't squeak when you turn it, and it actually gets warm. Or cold. Whatever we want it to do. Fabulous.
#141...I am thankful for little cuddle bugs. My little friend Porter hasn't slept very good the last two days and once you pull him out of his crib he just wants to be held. I got him out today, after he had screamed bloody murder, and he just cuddled up to me for about 15 minutes. It was relaxing and reminded me why I love my job.
#142...I am thankful that my husband and I talk about things. We've had a little contention over a certain issue, but we always talked about it. And we kept talking about it until it was resolved. We didn't talk about it once and then quit. We kept working through it til it was all figured out. And I'm happy with how we worked it out. I love that my husband is always willing to talk to me about things, because I am certainly all about the talking.
#143...I am thankful for those who are honest. There's nothing better than having someone you know you can trust. Nothing. You just gotta love it.
I feel like a bad wife....Kohn has a game tonight and I'm not there...but I'm only not there because he's not playing. I should probably still be there supporting him...but...I am tired, in a not so pleasant mood, and just want this day to be over. Of course if it looks like he'll be going in for relief I will definitely be making my way there. But for now I'm going to be selfish and sulk. But only for now. Tomorrow is a new day. And I'm going to fix this attitude and get ahead and finally make what I've been working toward for a year happen....wish me luck...

I LOVE WEEKENDS!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!! :) I love Friday's! Especially Friday's after 5 ;) and it is always nice when I have a crappy Friday and come home to find my diploma waiting at my door! FINALLY! It's only been a month since I graduated, and I finally got it! NOW I can feel accomplished! :) Well...dinner is cooking. And I think it is going to be awesome! Chicken Enchilada Pasta. I love chicken enchilada's and I LOVE pasta....mixing the two together is going to be divine! Well...it's a Friday night. And as soon as dinner is done and we finish eating it, I am going to go run 3 miles, and then we are going to kinda do whatever until we go see Avenger's! I don't really know what it's supposed to be about...I haven't really shown a particular interest in super heroes...but Kohn wants to see it! And he always deals with my chick flicks so I figured I could make this sacrifice ;) so that's the plan. We're going to see The Avengers...and from what I've heard, I'll probably like it, and it won't really be much of a sacrifice. So now before all these fun things can happen I am going to hurry and catch up on the blog. So here we go.
#131...I am thankful that I can finally wear sandals again! Sandals are my favorite, and I love not having to worry about socks! I actually am kinda sad because all my sandals are getting worn out....to the point that some of them are breaking. And that really does make me sad. Oh well...Kohn can buy me more!
#132...I am thankful for mother's! Sunday was Mother's Day! And it was fun to celebrate our momma's! The kids were cute in primary talking about how their mom's were as beautiful as butterflies and things like that...and it was fun to see my roommate Erin announce that she is going to be a mom in November! Out of the 8 roommates I had in college 2 of them are married...and they both have the same due date...and then there is me. Don't worry, I'm not jealous............
#133...I am thankful for baseball season! Yes, it is finally here and Kohn is playing so well! He had a game Wednesday and he wasn't planning on pitching, but his coach put him in at the 4th inning, when the score was 1-4 or something like that...and not in our favor. But then Kohn turned the game around and we one! 6-5! My husband is awesome!
#134...I am thankful for a good book. Sometimes it is just awesome to sit down and enjoy a good book, and to dive into a world that isn't your own. It's always the best when you really can get that wrapped into a book.
#135...I am thankful for good, kind people. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there that aren't going to try to tear you down and make you feel worthless. Those are definitely the kind of people I want to be around.
#136...I am thankful for little helper's. It doesn't matter what I'm doing...unless it's cleaning up the toys...the kids always ask if they can help. They want to help set up beds, help make lunch, help with snack...whatever, they just want to help and they are precious.
#137...I am thankful that I have my husband to turn to no matter what. I lay a lot on him at the end of the day that he probably doesn't care for...but he listens and he talks me through it and he just makes me feel better. It's the best to have that relationship to come home to.
#138...I am thankful that my husband is okay with doing dishes...have I mentioned this before? Probably. But I really am. Because I really hate dishes. I do them...sometimes...but he probably does them a lot more than me...but that's my point. He does them a lot. And I am thankful for that.
I am pumped for the weekend, it will go by way too fast....but I'm glad it's here! And I'm glad there's always a weekend to look forward to. Seriously. They save my life.

And then...
Oh gee...it's been SO LONG since I last posted. That's what happens when life gets crazy I guess! But it's been a good kind of crazy, and I'm super excited about the craziness going on! New nephew, new endowed 84 year old woman! Oh great stuff! So...my amazing husband has dinner cooking right now, so I am going to type this up quick and then I am going to eat the delicious salmon, and then go to the laundromat, and then go to the grocery store. And then to the gym...and then probably to the shower. And then maybe if I'm lucky....I'll be going to sleep. Don't count on it...but a girl can hope. As you know...or don't know...I don't know...we just got home from Indiana/Kentucky. Mainly Indiana though. And I loved it! And it was a good break, and really just awesome. Anyway...I am going to be thankful now, like I said a few sentences ago...
#119...I am thankful for doctors. My favorite right now are dermatologists....I've had really bad breakouts as of late...and it's driving me bonkers. I even got bangs to help hide some of it...I will admit to that...anyway. Ever since I've started taking my meds faithfully and using the face cream...the zits have gone down A LOT. And I love it! I love clear skin!
#120...I am thankful for A/C. I'm serious. We have no air....grandma, please get on that ;) and I'm really missing the luxury of having a cool house...
#121...I am thankful that time keeps moving forward. Now I know I've said this over and over...but I'm really just that thankful for it. I know that sometimes we are caught in a moment of time that we wish could last forever, but then there are always those times we wish would just end. And I am ever so thankful they do end.
#122...I am thankful for technology. I am thankful that it is so easy to communicate with family far away by simply sending a text message or making a phone call. And it's always fantastic when you can receive a picture of your brand new handsome nephew after he's born, instead of having to wait a few days to have to see his face!
#123...I am thankful that little Jaxon man made it here safe! The birth was a bit of struggle, he was in NICU for a bit...but he is safe and sound now! And he is the most handsome little guy in his baseball outfit :)
#124...I am thankful that flying is actually safe. Ever since 9/11 I've had a terrible fear of flying...who can blame me. But anyway...I really have. And I am just always so thankful when I am safe off of that plane!
#125...I am thankful that people are so hospitable and kind! When we showed up to church on Sunday in Indiana we had people who wanted to talk and visit and were concerned about where we were staying and eating and everything...we got invited over for a fabulous dinner that night too...I now understand why missionaries gain weight! ;)
#126...I am thankful for the Blackburn's. They are the family that allowed us to stay with them while we were in Indiana. They have five of the cutest kids and I sure enjoyed our time there! 10 minutes into being there their 4 year old twins had me reading story after story to them. I loved it!
#127...I am thankful for my teeth. Strange? You'd think so. But you should be thankful for your teeth too. Because we have teeth it doesn't take us so long to eat...I am being extremely serious right now. We went to lunch with a lady in Indiana who had bad teeth because of some health related issues...and we sat in the restaurant for quite a while, because it took her so long to eat. Due to her teeth. Be thankful for those pearly whites ya got!
#128...I am thankful that my husband isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in. So...I had been getting car sick a lot for the first of the trip...and I thought it was really weird. Cause it doesn't happen too often. I felt like the smell of the car had a lot to do with it. So I looked in the cup holder cause I thought I saw a car freshner in there...but it actually happened to be a can of chew. Believe it or not, I think the smell of that had a lot to do with me getting sick...anyways, the point....when we returned our rental car Kohn spoke with the manager and all this stuff. They didn't do anything for us...Kohn says we're not using their service anymore...he's a good one.
#129...I am thankful that Edna chose to go through the temple. 84 years old, has a walker, but she did it. At 7:45 at night too. You can bet she was tired. But she loved it and it was amazing to see her in the temple!
#130...I am thankful for Kohn for cooking dinner. We have no food, but instead of just deciding to go out to eat, he found something to put some dinner together. And I have a feeling it is going to be delicious.
Well...now that I'm all caught up after way too long...it's time to go do all the things I have to do before I can rest. Have a great night everyone!
