The amount of times I have blown my nose in the last 3 days is ridiculous! I used up 3/4 of a tissue box at work and probably like 1/2 a roll of toilet paper at home. Eeeeeeesh. No bueno. But at least the tissues at work were puffs! Which brings me to...
What I choose to be thankful for on day #3, puffs! They have lotion in them and don't give my nose the yucky little crusties! Wa-hoo! How could I not be thankful? ;) Whatever genius decided to make tissues so soft and lovable should be awarded lots of money...oh wait...they probably already have lots of money. Ha. Anyways...
Today was the first day back with the kiddies since the middle of December. Oh I have missed them! When I walked in this morning my little Luke looked kind of confused about who I was...it broke my heart. But literally like 5 minutes later he was back to calling me "mom" and then he was my snuggle bug during movie time! Awww he's a precious one! But he definitely meets the criteria for the "terrible 2" stage. But he's a cute little stink. Paiten remembered me and was giving me lots of kisses on my nose, Porter was eating my nose, Nathan was talking crazy talk, Jordyn was cuddling with me, Allie was my little shadow for part of the day, Braxton and I had a good conversation about Christmas on our way to Cindy's from his kindergarten class, Rachel still was begging to sit on my lap, Dominic was still excited to tell me bunches of exciting things, Wyatt still played games with me while we brushed his teeth, Dorothy was still excited to be girly with me and show me her PINK boots, Christopher wanted me to hold him for the first time today :), and Joey was still excited to show me her pretty bracelets. Oh I love all of 'em! Even when they have little attitudes! ;)
Days like today make me baby hungry...but we'll wait. No worries!!! I've got some things to do before I can be a mommy! :) But I'm excited for that day to come...in like 2 or so years!
Now it's time for a good episode of BIGGEST LOSER and some pistachios....I think so! :)

Day 2 of the New Year!
Alright, so it's almost day 3, but not yet...so this still counts! :)
We'll make this short and sweet cause I've gotta wake up early in the a.m. to get some car-dio in and then off to work with the little chillens for 9 hours...who I have missed...we'll see how those feelings are doing around 10 tomorrow morning. Ha. Anyways...
Here we go. Today I decided to be thankful for acetone. There are 365 things that I'm gonna be thankful for all year so I think I can bring small things up every once in a little while, such as this. But wait...it's leap year, does that mean 366? Who really knows...guess I'll find out eventually. I'm a lot smarter than this, I promise. Anyway...back to the acetone. It got my devil nails off tonight. And now I'm back to my short, stubby nails. And ya know what? I like it. Although acetone does stink...it sure does do the trick. With this I'm also thankful for my very professional nail husband. He picked them off for me and then "buffed" them for me. What a gem. Expect me to be thankful for Kohn a lot more throughout this blog. Because hey...I can be thankful for things more than once...especially when they are as super important to me as him! :) Plus it'll be for all sorts of different fantastic things he does. Oh I love him!
Well...I told ya it would be short and sweet. I have a yucky cold, I worked 10 hours today, did a semi-difficult work out ;), and it is 11:11 pm right now. Oh! Make a wish! Anyhoo...I best be gettin off to bed if I ever expect to get rid of this cold and if I expect to fulfill some new year resolutions...such as patience with the kids and getting my exercise in...because if I don't go to bed right NOW I won't be waking up early to work out...okay seriously...off to bed.

2012 has lots of good in store...
HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 2012! I'm pretty excited about it! But then again, I'm always excited about a new year! This is going to be a good one though...I can tell. It started off just right. Although I didn't get my kiss at midnight because my precious hubby was sound asleep...with his brother snoring on the couch while his mom and I were watching "The Help"...which is a VERY good movie, by the way! I recommend it! But all in all, I'm still pretty happy with the way this year is starting out.
We got to really start out the day by going to church and taking the sacrament. What better way could you possibly think of spending the beginning of the year? And it wasn't just any regular day of church...we got to listen to cousin Dallas give his "going away talk before his mission"! And he did an amazing job! And the food wasn't too bad either ;) but seriously...he had me tearing up when he was talking about the incredible boy that went through the temple the same day he did! I was there so I kind of understand just how amazing it was for this boy to go through the temple...for those of you that are a little lost...sorry ;) what it all comes down to is that an awesome young man that is very physically disabled still did what he could to serve a mission, and although he couldn't do a lot in the temple, he still did it! What an inspiration!
Now this brings me to one thing that I am thankful for! For day #1 out of 365 I choose to be thankful for missionaries and the work they do! They give up 2 years of their lives to do one of the most important things they can do. But it's also a very difficult thing too! Missionaries have got to have courage and be strong people and I really just admire what they do! I'm super thankful that my amazing husband served a full time 2 year mission, and was amazing while he did it! Unfortunately there are sometimes those missionaries that just go to please someone that's not themselves and don't really get into the work and show their full potential. But I've been lucky enough to be sealed to someone who was one of the best missionaries, or at least I'm convinced anyway! :)
My favorite sacrament meetings are the ones where a missionary is either going out or coming home! I just love the spirit they have! I'm thankful they do their best to make this church grow! And I really hope to serve a mission with Kohn when we're just cute oldies ;) so I can do what I find so amazing!
Well there you have it, day 1 of being thankful! I'm looking forward to this new year and all that it will bring! It's going to be a good one, I just know it! :)

NEW year, NEW goals, NEW, NEW, NEW!
Alright, so I know some people hate the whole idea of new year resolutions...because they all say that we should be able to make a change when it is needed rather than wait for the new year! Okay, I completely agree with this. But having something like a NEW year is a nice good kick in the butt to get moving and making things happen! So I'm excited to make my list of resolutions! If it was the middle of July and I was realizing these changes needed to happen, then I would start to make them happen then, but I'm realizing it now, and the new year is right around the corner. Perfection.
Recently my friend, Haley Larson, started a blog. She got this cute idea from pinterest! Something about 365 things you're thankful for! So...I kinda really liked the idea and am gonna see if it's possible for me to do it too! The goal here is to write a blog post every day, and each day include something new that I'm thankful for! I'm pretty excited to get it started! I already know what day #1 will be all about! ;)
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now, like there are a lot of things that need some serious reconstruction in my life. But...with the help of my wonderful husband I know we'll be able to get an organized list all put together and work towards one thing at a time, making it seem not so overwhelming! And it'll all happen! I'm hoping to get the list put together either tonight or tomorrow, or even Saturday! Just before Sunday rolls around! Here's just a brief preview....:
1. Lose the wedding weight. Seriously. It is no lie that you get comfortable living with your husband and sort of just let yourself go. Sort of like the freshman 15 is no lie either. Promise. I haven't gained a ton, but I am not where I want to be. So, all I'm saying is I want to make a healthy goal to reach my ideal weight, what I was when I graduated---110. And that's fine, because I really didn't graduate that long ago! Haha ;) So...now that the world knows, I feel a bit more accountable. So let's lose 10 pounds! But be healthy about it! Ready go!
2. Let things go. ie: the past. The past is gone, over with, DONE. I just need to let it allllll go. I thought I had, but recently have been learning I haven't. So. The goal is to learn how to move on and live in the now, not the then.
3. I want to run a full marathon! That may not happen THIS year, but it will happen, so this year I will start preparing for it! And I'll start preparing for great things like RAGNAR and EPIC and all those fun races! Basically, I just want to be a runner again! So bring it on! :)
4. Right this very second our apartment is not looking so lovely. We have some fabulous dishes waiting to be done. And some floors that need vacuumed, and so forth and so on. The goal is to be a better housekeeper. Really, not be lazy. I want to get the house work done before I worry about what is going on in the social world. Haha. And here I am, on the computer...getting ready to post to Facebook...nice. Just decided: I will be going on a Facebook fast starting January 1! Other than to post my blogs! ;)
5. I want to make my bed every morning.
6. I want to have enough time in the morning to get ready so that I don't leave the bathroom a mess in the rush to leave on time.
7. I want to pray every morning and night with my sweet husband, and still do my own individual prayers.
8. I want to be a bit more patient with my cute little day care kids.
9. I want to have some pretty awesome, successful preschool lessons.
10. I want to be more organized.
11. I want to be more family oriented.
12. I want to catch up with old friends.
13. I want to be able to say hi to people from the past without feeling awkward.
14. I want to get AT LEAST 45 minutes of exercise in 6 days a week, maybe 5.
15. I want my testimony to grow. I want to fully understand the Book of Mormon.
There are soooo many things I want to do. Many changes I want to make. You can see why my list is a bit overwhelming. FIFTEEN things? Yeah...one step at a time. That's all I can do, and doing it that way will make it happen! I just need to keep remembering that! I think that I'll kind of keep an update of my goals on here because as I mentioned before it means: ACCOUNTABILITY. I don't know who all reads this, but I do know some people do. So whoever reads this, thanks! Make sure I stick to my word and get my goals accomplished :)
I'm grateful for all this last year has brought me! With this year came new friendships, new family, my eternal companion, new understandings, new goals, and just so many great things! I've had some hard lessons learned, but the lessons are definitely blessings! I'm thankful for new chances and all of the inspiring people in my life! I hope we all finish the year off with a bang and can make some goals to better ourselves!

Mommy's Day Out....Also, someone talk me out of chopping my hair off!
My thoughts...for my day care! When we were in Kentucky one of the members told me about this! Kids come and go as they want, under mom's supervision of course, but it's pretty organized. Mommy has one day she takes for herself and leaves the kiddo's with me! She said it worked out really well and the lady doing it made baaaaank. Yes, please. One day...when Kohn is a successful physical therapist and we have a good sized house this WILL HAPPEN. Anyways...
MERRY LATE CHRISTMAS! I loved my first Christmas with my hubby! It was perfect...and we totally cheated! We opened presents on Christmas Eve, but ya know what...it turned out perfect! Because then we spent the rest of the day with family watching our cute nieces and nephew opening presents! Oh and then there were the two presents at Kohn's parents house for me...that were all wrapped like 20 times! Haha funny, funny Momma Kohn!!! Christmas was just perfect! We spoiled each other, we ate good food, and we finally just got to relax and be lazy and be with all the family that we love so much! We got to finish the day off by celebrating Aunt Lynette's birthday! I always love spending some good time with the crazy Turnbow family I belong to!
Oh! We finally got our fish! We named her Dot! Because she has one scale missing and so it makes a black dot. Kohn came up with it, I thought it was cute, so that was that! We love her! We're even thinking of getting her a little friend! Hopefully we pick a boy...or whatever "she's" not! Hahaha.
I have SOME pictures. Of our cute Christmas decorations! And some pictures of Kentucky. We were total slackers in Kentucky though and didn't take very many. So I guess we'll just share what we've got.

Eating my first, well second, Krispy Kreme! My first one was a few minutes before. A nice, warm original glazed donut! Oh so good!
Joe and Kayla! Just lovin them some donuts!
Amanda! The little baker herself. I'm sure she could top Krispy Kreme if she wanted to!
Our lovely hostess, Kim! She is one of the sweetest ladies I know! I instantly fell in love with the family!
My precious husband eating his donut...
The taste was so divine that we wouldn't even stop eating for a picture...so there you have it...
Folks, this is where Sea Biscuit was filmed! And I'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to be on the track...but whatever.
One day I will watch a derby and there will be people around instead of cold nothingness.
I think he's pretty cute...
At the doc's office saying bye! Kentucky's finest! Miss them much, can't wait to go back!
We were taking a tour at Churchill Downs, where the Kentucky Derby takes place, and this cute horse was practicing!
The famous Kentucky Derby!
First derby was like a million years ago...I really want to go to one!
Our stockings, and to the left there is Kohn's candy train station!
Just flattening the chicken...in my cute apron.
No fish...we had this bowl for like a month looking this way!
Our delicious Christmas Eve dinner, which tasted fanastic! I did the salad...
Merry Christmas!
And there's our cute fish, Dot!
At Churchill Downs!
He looks good on a horse!
Our first Christmas tree...and some unfinished decor in the background!
My amazing husband cooking our Christmas Eve dinner! He spoils me, I love him!
Also, something else that was pretty great that happened...
We got a new beautiful baby niece! Roxie Jade Ward! We love her so much!
I'm feeling rather boring lately, and want to chop my hair off. I always have this problem when I plan on growing it out. So someone talk me out of it so I can see what it's like to have long hair...please and thanks.
The new year is coming...time to get a list of resolutions coming ;) but seriously...I think it's a good kick to get some good things accomplished.
Life is good, I am blessed!
Happy Holidays!

1 Month Down, Zillions To Go...and SUPER Excited About It! :)
Today is December 5th, we got married November 5th....and can I just say that the last month FLEW! And the funny thing is...I still don't feel married. I wake up to Kohn every morning but still....nothing. I just live with this guy, pack his lunches, do his dishes...haha all that good stuff. But I AM MARRIED. Maybe it'll hit me eventually! :) I just wanted to take a minute here to just express how blessed I am to be married to the man I am married to. He is so incredible. Kohn is super thoughtful, caring, and really just wants me to be happy. And you can sure bet I am way happy! :)
We're still on the honeymoon so we haven't had to deal with anything huge yet, so we still like each other ;) we're going to Kentucky in 12 days, practically 11 :) I cannot wait to meet all the people he loves and talks so highly about all the time! And really I'm just excited to hear them talk, I love that twang! :) I'm excited to travel with my love and just relax! For once! Since we only got a weekend after we got married this whole week in Kentucky is very much needed and it cannot get here soon enough! And then we get back and celebrate CHRISTMAS! Our first Christmas married, let alone together! Haha pretty much every first holiday together is spent married, other than like Halloween and all the summer holiday's, but barely!
Our Christmas tree is looking pretty great! The 4 presents has evolved to...TONS! I don't feel like counting! But I'd say we've definitely spoiled each other, and it's for sure been fun! Thanks for all the generous wedding money, you have made Christmas possible for Kohn and I ;) plus the fact that we both have jobs, we are pretty lucky!
Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.

It Is Better To Look Up
I am blessed! I have been blessed with so much more than I deserve. Life is great...no, life is fabulous! Heavenly Father is there for each and every one of us, constantly! We just have to let Him in and turn to Him when we need Him. Seriously...how blessed are we to have this AMAZING gospel? To have the knowledge we have, to know the truth and to know we can make it through life because we are not going to feel sorrow, pain, and all those "unfun" feelings we feel, for the rest of our lives. Those feelings will end, so long as we are faithful to our Heavenly Father and live the best lives we can live. There is such a big, wonderful picture in mind! Life is only a little test, definitely one that will be worth passing! So don't give up! If you are faced with something that seems too hard to handle, get on your knees and pray! You will make it through! Heavenly Father knows each of us better than anyone, he knows what we can and cannot handle, and he won't give us anything we can't handle. Example? Okay.
Remember how a month or so ago I was SUUUUPER excited I got the job at ICON. Well, my friends, it was a lot harder than I ever expected it to be. People are mean, and I have a soft heart so I sometimes let it get to me even though it was nothing towards me personally, just someone upset that their very expensive equipment was not working for them. But still, I had a hard time. I starting LIVING for the weekends and as soon as the weekend ended I was sick to my stomach and it was just a bad deal. I would get nervous as I drove to work and as I answered phone calls. It shouldn't be that way. So, I started looking for something new. I know, I had only been at ICON for a short time...but I'm not a quitter. I stuck it out until I KNEW I had a new job. And it was hard to do for that long. But I did. And trust me people, if you had a job that made you not want to go to sleep at night because sleeping makes the next day come faster, you'd do the same. Anyways...I now get to work at a day care! I am SO stoked! And at this day care I get to do preschool lessons! Um hello, that's what I want to do! And I haven't even graduated from college yet. But, I will in April! :) And then I can get my CAD, Child's Associate Degree. And I don't have to pay for it! Helllllllooooo! Score! With that certificate I can do even more with kid's than what I'm already lucky enough to do! Oh oh oh! And I don't have to worry about working on Saturday's or holidays! Which was a concern with the other. Let's just say I'm pretty much excited!
Today was my last day at ICON. And I had the perfect call to end my job there. I was speaking with a man from Arkansas. And he asked where we are located, so I told him---Logan, Utah. He snickered and was like "Oh that's Mormonville there huh?" I laughed and said it sure was! He then proceeded to ask me if I was LDS. I proudly said I was. And THEN...he said he was too!!! Do you realize how HAPPY this made me?!? No wonder he was one of my nicer customers! Like I said, he was in Arkansas, and I have no connections with Arkansas whatsoever but he told me that the church is growing pretty quick there and it made me smile sooooo big and it just made my whole entire day! Oh missionary work, how I love you! I am so excited to serve a mission with Kohn when we are old geezers! :)
Oh I'm so excited to love my job! I'm excited to not have dramatic break downs every Monday night! I'm excited to be sleeping at 4 am!!! Yesssss! Life is grand, my friends.
I am happy. I suppose it TIS the season to be jolly! :) I'm ecstatic to spend my Christmas with my husband! Our apartment is getting all decorated up for the holiday season, we be loving it! But, it still has boxes and bags all over. There is no room to put anything. One day...one day, soon, we will get it all taken care of so that I really can post pictures of our cute apartment! Preferably with our Christmas decorations all over! :) We have 4 presents wrapped and under the tree so far, and wouldn't you know it, they are all for Kohn! Haha I love Christmas shopping, what can I say! Oh, we went to Forgotten Carols last night! I'm pretty sure it was my first time seeing it, however my parents told me I've seen it before. I don't think so though. Anyway, I loved what I saw last night! The music was great, I was in love with Jordan Bluffs, or whatever his last name was, voice! I want the CD! And I'm excited to go again next year!
Well, now I am going to wrap this up and go clean mi casa. Because I want to post pictures and I want it to be CLEAN! Off to be a good wifey! :)
Remember how a month or so ago I was SUUUUPER excited I got the job at ICON. Well, my friends, it was a lot harder than I ever expected it to be. People are mean, and I have a soft heart so I sometimes let it get to me even though it was nothing towards me personally, just someone upset that their very expensive equipment was not working for them. But still, I had a hard time. I starting LIVING for the weekends and as soon as the weekend ended I was sick to my stomach and it was just a bad deal. I would get nervous as I drove to work and as I answered phone calls. It shouldn't be that way. So, I started looking for something new. I know, I had only been at ICON for a short time...but I'm not a quitter. I stuck it out until I KNEW I had a new job. And it was hard to do for that long. But I did. And trust me people, if you had a job that made you not want to go to sleep at night because sleeping makes the next day come faster, you'd do the same. Anyways...I now get to work at a day care! I am SO stoked! And at this day care I get to do preschool lessons! Um hello, that's what I want to do! And I haven't even graduated from college yet. But, I will in April! :) And then I can get my CAD, Child's Associate Degree. And I don't have to pay for it! Helllllllooooo! Score! With that certificate I can do even more with kid's than what I'm already lucky enough to do! Oh oh oh! And I don't have to worry about working on Saturday's or holidays! Which was a concern with the other. Let's just say I'm pretty much excited!
Today was my last day at ICON. And I had the perfect call to end my job there. I was speaking with a man from Arkansas. And he asked where we are located, so I told him---Logan, Utah. He snickered and was like "Oh that's Mormonville there huh?" I laughed and said it sure was! He then proceeded to ask me if I was LDS. I proudly said I was. And THEN...he said he was too!!! Do you realize how HAPPY this made me?!? No wonder he was one of my nicer customers! Like I said, he was in Arkansas, and I have no connections with Arkansas whatsoever but he told me that the church is growing pretty quick there and it made me smile sooooo big and it just made my whole entire day! Oh missionary work, how I love you! I am so excited to serve a mission with Kohn when we are old geezers! :)
Oh I'm so excited to love my job! I'm excited to not have dramatic break downs every Monday night! I'm excited to be sleeping at 4 am!!! Yesssss! Life is grand, my friends.
