My Mom

I know this is late, but since Mother's Day was not too long ago, I wanted to write about my mother. She is one AMAZING woman! 

I love my mom!!!

My mom is beautiful on the inside and out! She is my best friend. She has taught me so many things, and she is always there to lend me her ear, even when I talk TOO much! She has laughed with me, cried with me, comforted me, and cheered me up! 
She has a great sense of humor!!!! She is kind to everyone she meets. She is always serving, and thinking about others. She is a woman of God. She has an amazing testimony, and relationship with our Heavenly Father, and I am grateful for that!
My mom is a strength to me and my family! 

I am SO glad that I am blessed with THE best mom! I love her so much! 

"I wanna rock and roll all night, and PART OF every day"

So, I am learning the guitar (PAUSE for laughter)!!!

It's true! NO joke! Last week I taught myself how to play this lovely song:

I even have the picking/plucking (I don't know the word... I play the violin) down!

Anyway... I thought I'd share! My goal for next post is to use real pictures. Not just lame stuff from the internet.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. - Oscar Wilde

Lately, I don't understand a word I'm saying, but that's okay. I still think I'm hilarious!

What?!? Remind me why I have a blog??? Ha ha! I think this is mostly entertainment for me. It's something that is mine. I AM IN CONTROL!

I capital "P" Promise that I will start blogging more often. :) I pah-romise all of... maybe.... one reader! :) That's okay, I still love you! Let's be honest, I probably wouldn't be wasting my time on this blog anyway....

Next blog post will come soon... Oh, and hopefully with pictures! Maybe I can actually do this! We'll find out!

Rome Wasn't Built in A Day

It is time for me to become ACCOUNTABLE! I am trusting you. I'm not exactly comfortable with this, but it NEEDS to be done. It is time for me to loose weight. It will happen. I have to make it happen. I have a crappy work schedule, so it's hard for me to have a regular work buddy, go to bed early, etc. However, I can start doing small things now. For myself. I am starting off small, but I am starting. Each week I will be posting a weekly goal. The next week I will also let you know if I accomplished it or not. If I do not, I give you full permission to deck me! Full on punch to the face. So, here I am, taking my first step.

My Goal: Take the stairs at work every day (That's 5 stories, Tues-Sat).

Blind Date

Okay. . . Ha ha! So Friday I went on my first blind date. . . I can easily say that it was THE WORST date of my life. All I am going to say is that guys should know how to treat girls. Oh, and you should talk to her (Duh!). . .

Well, my Friday night was made up thanks to my AMAZING best friends! They are the best! I love them SO much!!!

My Happy Post

As opposed to my depressing, downer post on Monday.

I have a few things to be happy about, and I'll share them (whether you want me to or not).

• 
  
  
  Geoff's Seminary Graduation! Can I get a "Hollar"? I am SO proud of my brother. I do love him, even though I don't always show it. And I am glad we're related! I know, call up the papers, I've admitted it!

• 
  
  
  DISNEYLAND! Yep, you read that right! My first road trip with just a friend and myself. I'm excited (and I can't believe I'm 20 and this is my first road trip without supervision...LOSER...)!

• 
  
  
  Summer weather!!! I have learned that I LOVE hiking when there is a view! Ha ha! Last summer I hiked Ensign Peak and watched the sunset and the city lights turn on. What a great way to end a day! If you ever want to go, call me! :)

• 
  
  
  Running. At the moment it doesn't make me happy, but I have come to the conclusion that I WILL be a runner, and I WILL love it!

Well, that is my happy post....
