Recharged

Take a closer look at the graphic. Can you see Earth, Fire, Air and Water? You can read it backwards too. I dig mind teasers.

I love this "warm" weather. I'm anxious for my favorite season to start, even the thought of Spring physically does something to me. After these last couple of weeks and my snowy commutes (it took me over 2.5 hours to get home in that snowstorm on Wednesday) I've never been more ready for Spring to come. I hate Winter! Which is probably why I'm in LOVE with Spring. I went for a long walk today and soaked up the sun and along with going with my friends to see Step Up 2 (corny and lacking Channing Tatum), going out for lunch and getting a pedicure yesterday...my batteries are defintely recharged. And if my weekend wasn't great already...I get work off tomorrow. *Sigh* With all this I could probably stick out one more storm.

TGIF

24 Things to do before I turn 25

Wow, where have the years gone? I have exactly 5 months until I turn 25. Depressing! SO, instead of slitting my wrists I am going to try to accomplish the following items:

1. Graduate from College.
2. Pay off my credit card.
3. Find a permanent crush.
4. Become the world’s best aunt.
5. Run 5 miles without stopping. (ain’t no marathon)
6. Buy a whole new wardrobe.
7. Make more jewelry.
8. Finish scrapbooking my Europe trip.
9. Really start Photobooth Friday club.
10. Fill up my entire postcard book.
11. Buy some really trendy shoes.
12. Read the Book of Mormon.
13. Plan our next trip. Hmmm…where to go?
14. Go 40 days without sugar.
15. Go 40 days without bread.
16. Do something SO out of character no one will believe I did it.
17. Start digital scrapbooking.
18. Become the official cupcake queen.
19. Keep a gratitude journal.
20. Become a pro at Photoshop.
21. Go through the temple.
22. Start a Polaroid picture book.
23. Take an institute class.
24. Whiten my teeth.

I'll, of course, document and update my status by blogging. I think number 3 will be the most difficult (please say a prayer or a few hail Marys for me). Achieving number 6 might thwart accomplishing number 2. I'm excited to plan something for number 16. And, I might just wait to accomplish number 21 when I'm 25...we'll see.

Tagged- Everything you didn't want to know.

1. I only write with Sharpie ultra fine point markers. At school I choose a new fun color each day. At work I keep it professional and classy and go with black.

2. I just learned how to crochet. I started using my new skills as a diet plan (crochet while everyone else was eating) but it didn't stick. I started to eat the yarn...haha I'm joking.

3. I tell people that I love to play tennis and scrapbook but I haven't done either for years.

4. I collect postcards from around the world. Here's how I do it: postcrossing.com

5. I just got my first press release published in a newspaper. This is very ironic for me. I hate to write! I had to write a paper for school a couple months ago and I was really struggling! I finally went upstairs to get some sympathy from my Mom. I asked her, "Ahhh! Why is this so hard for me? Do I have a learning disability?" I thought she would quickly reply "NO" but instead she said, "Uhh...maybe." In my Mom's defense my paper really did suck. I wish I was better at grammar. I typically throw in commas wherever they "look" good. I, know, it, probably, drives, people, nuts. SORRY!

6. I feel like I am constantly stressed and overwhelmed (even when I shouldn't be). I can't wait until school is OVER! Here are my favorite stress relievers: watching a movie, reading a book, eating, reading gossip magazines, shopping for jewelry, getting a pedicure and reading blogs.

7. Here are 10 things I want to be when I grow up: Mom, wife, jewelry designer, photographer, real estate mogul, professional scrapbooker, make-up artist, graphic designer, entrepreneur, and a personal trainer.

Another Semester Down!

Ahhh...such a big sigh of relief! Have you ever heard the saying "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger?" Well, for me, it's more like "What doesn't kill you will make you FATTER!" I can't even start to tell you how excited I am. I have only ONE semester and only TWO classes left. Hip Hip Hooray! After attending SLCC, UVSC, U of U and switching my major from Elementary Education to Communications (Public Relations)...I can finally see the finish line. I applied for graduation yesterday. It is so weird to think that this time last year I wasn't going to school and I wasn't planning on ever going back. Two days before last fall semester I made a spontaneous decision to go back to school and now this fall semester I'll be graduating.

Home Sweet Home

These were my birthday presents to myself...pots and plants for our front door. I think that shows that I am getting freakin' old!

I thought I would post a picture of our new house. Emily, Annelisa and I bought it together. It was a really big step but I think we are all happy with our decision. I have recently been obsessed with plants...they're my babies;) I have killed a couple but I am still working on my green thumb!
