Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to the best mom around!!

I don't think that there is a better mom out there than mine. I mean, I know that everyone probably says that about their mom, but I have to say I think that my mom beats them all. There is not a time in my life that I haven't been able to turn to her or know that she will be there when I need someone to talk to.

Those 4:30 phone calls, and dishing about A.I on Tuesday and Thursday's, nothing beats them. Just please make sure you don't leave me at school ever again :)

Thank you for always being the best mom, and here is to many more Mothers Day's filled with BBQ's and laughter!

I love you mom, Happy Mothers Day!

Inspiring

Every once and a while, in your life, you read another persons words that inspire you.

I was feeling a little stressed out and down about things that have been happening recently and felt like I was in a rut, but today realized change is all in my hands. I am getting used to my new position at work and I really love every minute of it. I have also come to find out it comes with many more responsibilities and stress. I often find myself leaving work thinking that I cant get it off my mind. April has proven to be especially difficult for me, adapting to the new found politics of it all. I have let this all get me down too much this month and am vowing to not let that continue to happen.

I have also found that as you continue to get older you also get to know more about life and the REAL things happening all around you. Knowing all of this makes me want to turn back time, go back to a time when life was simple and things like money, men, and work were not on the top of your mind.

I have never been an unhappy or negative person and I don't want that to change. I have always been able to find the good in people and things that happen. As life changes I don't want my positive outlook to change. I want to be able to grow, but remain positive about the good things in life. So to do that I am going to make some changes in my day to day activities.

So what changes am I going to make? Well here are some starters below:

1. I am going to remember I control my job and and if I just take a few minutes to prioritize my day it will create less stress.

2. I am going to take up yoga and boxing after work!

3. When I get home, work will no longer be on my mind until I go back the next day.

4. I will take one vacation a year!

5. I am going to be more environmentally friendly.

6. I will support a good cause once a month!

7. Last but not least I am going to laugh until I cry atleast once a day!

So there are my new goals, and I want to say THANK YOU to the inspiring message! It was just what I needed today to get through the day! You have truely touched me with your words!

A few words

Last Saturday I was lucky enough to experience an Perry Family Party. These are always exciting here are some the of highlights!!

Perry Circle

My handsome cousins

My favorite people

My little Kaysi Bean

The whole gang

This was quite the event, and full of excitement. I have been told that Andrea and I left just in time to miss the after party (which is a good thing)!!

Dear patio

Your pavers landed on my toe and gave it a swollen, brused scratch!

Now That I am recovered from my wound the Patio is actually looking good. The sad news is that we are going to have to do it again.... See I didnt know that you had to lay sand under pavers (well apparently you do). So We will be pulling them all up and laying them again.

Is it Summer yet?

SUMMER FEET
Best Friends like thse are hard to come by

Saij and I always know have to have a good time

Cute little Milo is finally ONE

So I have spring fever sooooo bad. All I can think about is summer and the fact that soon it will be warm and I can be outside again. Today I went outside and didnt have to wear a jacket and was SUPER happy, however my happiness was bittersweet becuase I know that this warmth will not last for long! Keep you fingers crossed that we dont get any more snow and summer will soon be here (and that my pool is done so that I can swim all the time)

Goodbye 2009 Hello 2010

I cant believe 2009 has come and gone... Now its time to say goodbye and look forward to this new year. Here are some highlights of 2009

• I moved into the condo with Em in May
• We got Milo.... and every other Milo memory
• Seeing Papa Roach in concert
• Turning 22 (even though I cant believe I am getting so old)
• Going to Wendover for Amerie's Bachalorette party
• Seeing New Moon ( I can help but love those movies and books more and more)
• Being able to advance my career at eBay.

So although there were many great things that happened this year it is also time to say goodbye to some things that I would like to forget. I am happy to say goodbye to 2009 and let this year go. I have learned a lot about who I want to be and who I don't want to be.

I am happy to welcome 2010! I have so many great things to look forward to this year. I cannot wait to continue to grow and learn new things! I'm excited for Milo to be 1, although sometimes I think he will never grow up!! I hope to do some traveling this year as I have always wanted to go to some new places. I have so many goals for this year!

I am happy to say GOODBYE 2009 HELLO 2010!!!!

Update

So I know that I am the worst blogger ever and that I do not do it enough. But here is a little update.... I hate the cold, it snowed on Saturday and I was bound to my house cause I didn't want to venture into the cold. Although I may not like the cold I LOOOOOVE Christmas and the holidays and cant wait to celebrate them with my family! I am already getting some good shopping done!

I am super excited for Friday to see New Moon!!! Em, Sarah, and I are having a girls night out!! Yippee! hhmm Edward... I am not one of those Team Jacob people.

On a more positive note I am loving the new place. Em and I had a Halloween party (maybe ill get some pics posted). It was a blast and we saw so many people we love!!!!

My mom is making me make green bean casserole for turkey day all by myself... this could be a disaster... but maybe ill do a practice run before hand haha!! poor Em ill make her be my taste tester... she always is and is such a good sport about it!

Well that is all for now. That was quite a random assortment of posting, but today was a good day to rant, cause it has been a while and today is a great day so I though i would share great things!!
