next year...

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Bee to big for worry and too noble for anger.

Airports

Last weekend as I was walking through the airport and thinking about how much more enjoyable it would be if people weren't so annoying I thought 'hmm I should blog this and see if anyone else thinks this way.' so here I am. Check in took only about 15 seconds thanks to online check in :) I then went off to the security line, which wasn't really that bad either. It could have been that it was 7am on a Saturday morning but who knows, I think the bigger pain at the security check is making sure I remembered to put EVERY little item that has liquid in it into that little zip lock back they give you. The waiting in line and standing in that weird 'body scanner' machine weren't that big of a deal and the scanner didn't add very much time at all. I do think its strange however that SLC airport makes everyone go through there and the Vegas airport I only saw one and it wasn't even in a line! Anyways I'm just going to make make a quick list of things I like about the airport and things I don't like so much!  

Dislikes: 

1. People walking in front of you that just randomly stop for no reason and you crash into their suitcase and then they glare at you! 

2. The fact that certain airports make you check in at least 45mins before your flights boarding time and you then just sit at the gate for 35 waiting to get on the plane only to find out your flight is late.

3. Screaming kids... its almost as bad as walmart! 

4. Being charged to check my bags, can't you give me just ONE bag for free?? I mean I can't take anything in my carry on more that 3oz of liquid so how am I supposed to get my shampoo and hairspray to my final destination?! Big fat SCAM! 

5. The snacks on board... I mean come on you really can't even give me the entire soda? I know its only like 25 cents a can and I did just pay 400 for my flight so... 

6. Being charged twice as much for fast food just because they can!

Likes:

1. The people watching

2. Meeting a few new friends on the flight

3. The fact that if your at an airport you are either about to go on vacation or just had a vacation

hmm... I think thats all I got 

Anyways I didn't say it was amazing and hopefully I'm not the only one that feels this way! 

um... sorry?

Ok so I'm obviously no good at this blogging everyday thing... and probably no one reads it anyway so its not really a big deal but still...

Yep you heard me right so if anyone IS actually reading this, get ready for a super long post!!

Day 24 – A photo of something that means a lot to you.

I took this on our honeymoon, It just reminds me of what an amazing week I had with Kasey and how simple life felt. We didn't have to worry about anything and we spent the entire week together not being apart while we were working or anything like that. I wish I could spend every day just being with him! 

Day 25 – What’s in your purse?
a lot of crap! I posted a picture on facebook the other day of this... 

Day 26 – A photo of somewhere you’ve been to.

the Oregon coast, one of my favorite places to be!

Day 27 – A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?
um... skip? lol 

Day 28 – Your favorite movie.
Oh gosh I have SO many favorite movies, I'm a total movie junkie... one of my favorites is probably Ever After, I could watch that movie every day! I love The Other Side of Heaven as well, and like 200 others! 

Day 29 – Something you could never get tired of doing.
Besides snuggling up with Kasey... I could never get sick of capturing Gods beautiful earth with my camera and sharing it with the world (ok the few people that look at my fb page)! I swear everyday I just realize how much more beautiful and wonderful this earth really is! 

Day 30 – A photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past

ok so this is not like a portrait but whatever... anyways on to the important things! Three good things that have happened (not in order)

1. I was able to start carpooling to work with my dad a few years ago (sadly we don't anymore) but I think this was such an amazing thing, he might not have been changed by it, but I was! My relationship with my dad was never really a strong one, I always loved him and we got along really well but we never just talked and when we carpooled for that year or so I was able to do just that, just talk with my dad and I am so grateful that I was able to have that chance to bond with him and I think we will be forever closer because of it!

2. I was able to marry my best friend! I've had a little school girl crush on him since I was 12, we had a few things get in the way but finally we started dating and fell madly in love and got married this last spring. He is amazing and I love him more then he'll ever know!! 

3. Just over a year ago I got a new job and with out that job I would never have been able to buy a house and still make all my other payments! This has been such a huge blessing for me in my life! 

ok so I'm DONE!! And its not even that long! Now hopefully I can keep up on blogging lol... I'm going to try to get in at least a couple times a month! :)

Well I think its pretty self explanatory don't you?

 Ugh... REALLY?!? Fine, I'll post one of my bridals since I still haven't done a post of those :)

Day 18

Day 18 – Something you crave a lot.

There are two things I always want...

Day 17

Day 17 – A photo of you and your family

This is easy... 

Day 16

Day 16 – Your celebrity crush.

Do I have to pick just one? There are some many good looking guys out there in Hollywood and the music world... I've always had a thing for Harrison Ford (even if he is way older then me) I mean come on look at him... 

there is also Nick Carter and Leonardo DiCaprio 

      

sometimes I have a crush on Johnny Depp but I think it really depends on what character he is playing...

 

oh and lets not forget about Shane West..

and all the other hotties out in celebrity land! 

Day 15

Day 15 – Something you don’t leave the house without

My house key, even if Kasey is home and the door isn't locked, you just never know and I REALLY don't want to get locked out of the house!! 

Day 14

Day 14 – A TV show you’re currently addicted to.

Ok well some of you might not believe me when I say I don't watch TV but really I don't. Right now it doesn't even matter because Kasey and I decided to not sign up for TV right now. However if I did have a TV I would probably be addicted to Ghost Hunters since that was my FAVORITE show to watch and I still watch clips online sometimes :)  

Day 13

Day 13 – Your favorite musician and why?

I don't think I'm even going to be able to pretend I have a favorite. In general I just love music! So instead I'm going to make a list of a FEW (not all) of my favorite artist.... 

(in no particular order at all)

Nickelback 

Martina McBride

Taylor Swift

Britney Spears 

Backstreet Boys (yes still)

Joshua Radin

3 Doors Down

and a ton more! 

Day 12

Day 12: A picture of the city I live in:

Well not like I have a picture of the entire city but I think two of the most known for things in Springville are the Trolley and the Art Museum so here are pictures of those... 

Its a pretty small town and I really love being here! Close enough to the mall but with only half the traffic :) 

Day 11

Day 11: Whats in my makeup bag:

um... I really don't even know where to start... probably every color of eyeshadow you can think of! I own this..

plus plenty of MAC and whatever else I think is cute! Of course I have foundation and powder... eyeliner, mascara, a couple lip glosses, but mostly its ALLLL eye shadow :) I think I have a makeup fetish....

Day 10

Day 10: A photo of my favorite place to eat

I LOVE RED ROBIN!!!!

Seriously how can you resist this??? Its my favorite thing on the menu! Mmmm.... 

Day 9

Day 9 – A photo of the item you last purchased.

hmm... this is super lame! lol the last thing I purchased was some art pencils. I'm not even going to bother writing about them but here is a picture.

Day 8

Day 8 - A song to match my mood:

Well since I was with fever last night and still don't feel super awesome today, I'm in a mellow mood. I'm also missing my husband today, a lot! I kind of wish that I had changed our wedding song to this one, but lifehouse had more meaning behind it. Anyways I hope your having a better feeling Wednesday then I am!

Day 7

Day 7 - My dream wedding:

Well of course I have to say my own :)  And how ironic that of all days, today is the day my wedding pictures came in the mail! Yes it was a VERY long wait to get them, but thankfully I love them! We had an outdoor spring/summer wedding in late June, the weather was perfect and so was the day! Our colors were hot pink, golden yellow, dark orange and lime green, We had paper lanterns, candy, cake, brownies, turkey wraps, and the best raspberry lemonade I've ever had! I did realize though when looking through my pictures I make this really ugly face A LOT! I told Kasey to remind me that I should not make that face so much! So he reminded me right then and I'll probably never get another reminder :) Anyways here are a few images of the wedding day! Enjoy :) 

        

 

Day 6

My whole life I have loved bears, I used to have a GIANT teddy bear collection until I moved (For the first time in my life) and gave them all except two to the police station so they can give them to kids that have been in car accidents or taken out of the home for the night or for whatever reason, anyways, I have always wished I could have a little baby bear for a pet! 

Day 5

Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago


Ugh this is a little tricky... I've been going through my hard drive for about an hour and 90% of my pictures from two years ago are of me and the 'former' and even then its almost as if the year 2008 didn't exist! I can only find a few pictures here and there, its very odd! Anyways so this is like the only picture that I can find where I don't look like a freak (ok well except for the fact that I'm dressed as a witch lol) Enjoy :)

My dear friend Kenzie and myself on Halloween 2008 (exactly 2 years ago how do you like that?!)

Day 4

Day 4: My favorite picture of my best friend.

This post is really hard for me because I have more then one best friend, so I might end up putting a few pictures up. My number one best friend is my husband Kasey for more reasons that I can list in this post but here is one of my favorite pictures of him... (do you know how hard it is to pick 1 picture from like 1000) but I do love this picture, I don't know why I just always have! Thanks babe for always being just what I need!!

One of my other best friends is my cousin Megan, I love her dearly and she is such an amazing person and someone that has always been there for me! I admire so many things about her!

Also I can't forget about Annie, she has been my friend since I was 12! We are the kind of friends that can go for a year not seeing each other and then the next time we see each other we don't even skip a beat and its like we just saw each other the day before!
