Slackish

I am a slacker. I'm sorry. It seems like when life can't get any busier and crazier... it does. Bleh. I think that it's just gonna take more dedication on my part... so we'll see how it goes.

The last couple of weeks have been awesome and fantastic and crazy.

I spent the whole week of thanksgiving at my mothers house and it was sooo fun! I went to see Harry Potter with 2 of my sisters. We did new family pictures because it's been a few years since the last one... Thanksgiving dinner was absolutely AMAZING! I spent all day the day before Turkey Day making pie with one of my sisters, we made 14 pies. Yes 14!! 4 Pumpkin, 2 Chocolate, 2 Banana Creme, 2 Coconut Creme, 2 Lemon Meringue, 1 Pecan, and... I can't remember what the other one was. Anyway. After stuffing myself with record amounts of turkey, mashed taters, green bean casserole, pie, jello, and all sorts of other good stuff... I retired to my bed, and slept... for 3 hours. It was amazing. Then I got

to go and visit my Grandparents, and then off to bed for me.

The next 2 days consisted of me sitting... a lot. I ate pie for breakfast, and lunch... and I think I had pancakes for dinner. :)

Nothing is better than pie for breakfast.

That is it.

How about a photo? Sounds good.

This one, I took back in may. Love the blossom time of year. :) great colors and just a fun time to shoot.

This one I took on the day I broke up with my boyfriend, back in June. Just random.

This one I took at my cousin Olivia's wedding back in May. I love doing photo's of the temple. Any temple. This is the Logan Temple.

I hope you enjoy.

Much love,

Daylight what??

I'm fairly positive that Daylight Savings is the dumbest thing ever... I hate it when it is only 6pm and it feels like midnight! AGH. Anyway, I figure I owe and update...

Numero Uno: The 'date' with my Ex was good. Good being a relative term that I use instead of dealing with my inner emotions for fear that I will randomly burst into tears and float away in my personally created river. And now, the 'friendship' we have is non-existent. Basically it was the dumbest idea I ever had. And the 'haunted' house wasn't even fun. Mostly because I have major issues with that kind of thing, but it was just dumb. I laughed through the whole thing. It may have had something to do with the fact that I was going on like 2 hours of sleep for the whole week... but I doubt it.

Numero Dos: I hate being sick. I have a nasty head cold that is totally cramping my style. Mostly I just hate that I have no energy for anything, not even to play with my kids... Referring to the children whom I nanny... I've spent the last two days sitting in the Laz-y-boy recliner, putting on cartoons for the kids to watch so that it would keep them from getting into anything... avoiding messes, and that sort of thing... I feel horrible because I really wanna go play at the park with them before the snow comes... Which, by the way, is supposed to be TOMORROW!!! Yes I am super excited for the snow. :)

Numero Tres: I have major emotional overload this week... long story short, making decisions has never been an easy thing... like I usually can't decide what movie to watch at night... so I make someone else choose for me, even if they won't be watching the movie with me... So for me making big, life changing, decisions is really, really, super-de-duper hard. So I have recently decided to serve a mission! Well, due to recent 'events' (if you want details you'll have to call me...) I have decided I'm not going. Long story short, I'm not supposed to go.

It's an answer to many prayers. It's hard though. There are only two things that I've ever really wanted to do in my life and they are, 1. serve a mission, and 2. Be a mom... well, I'm kinda depressed about this not going on a mission thing... we shall see.

How 'bout a photo!? That always makes me feel better...

This one I took a few weeks ago out at Utah Lake... I like it. It's one that I think turned out pretty good looking. :)

This one is from my Washington trip... it's at a place called Twin Rocks. I really love the two blue Adirondack chairs, it truly makes this photo.
