Memorial Day Weekend = Magic

It was that good, that is all.

Peace.

A Good Laugh

 My family.. is out of control.

So what we put our dog in a garbage can and make him have piggy back rides and dress him up like a gangsta... it keeps our Sundays very entertaining.

Probably my most favorite... Mickey and my Padre.. so classy.

Today is Good, Real Good.

I officially love today. Why, you may ask.  Well let me tell you, because their are lots of reasons.

I get Jimmy John's today for FREE at work... I guess something about our AR being at 14 days.

Whatever it means, it works for me, I get free food!!!

Today it is BEAUTIFUL, I am wearing shorts and flip flops... seriously perfect weather.

I am in LOVE with it.

I got my favorite eyeshadow that I have been missing and they discontinued but I found it, it gives me a "sunkissed look"

This weekend shall be fabulous for many reasons:

Uno: Tonight, I get to hang out with my family, I love it.

Second: I am going to this fine building tomorrow and am oh-so excited, it is much needed.

Thirdly: Since I graduated from COLLEGE... we are having a BBQ in my honor and having some of my favorite fixin's for a BBQ and Hello Dollies... mmmm. I heart food.

Fourth: I am going to clean out my car

And Lastly but CERTAINLY not least: I get to see a certain boy in 13 days and I am SO excited.

{Even though I just saw him 8 days ago, I feel it has been too long already.}



I hate sea food, from the ocean that is.

Last night... I went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner on a date.

I thought I liked sea food, apparently I don't like all sea food.

I HATE crab and lobster.. and occasionally shrimp.

Reasons... it is not very good.

The crab and lobster look disgusting.

And my date told me Lobster is the cockroach of the ocean..

wow, super yummy.

And although Mattew Mcconaughey can make eating crab and lobster look oh-so-hot on How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days..

Guys eating sea food, is not attractive at all.

So although I recently learned, I don't like ocean sea food,

I still like fish, you get from a lake... and tuna but that is it.

Day 30 {A bit late, but better late then never?}

Day 30:  A photography of yourself today {this is pretty recent} & three good things that have happened in the last 30 days.

Three good things that happened in March through April and part of May... hmmmm.... I don't know. Good things happen to me on a daily basis. I am grateful to be alive, to live in the United States.. {for the most part} To be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  To have a family and to have friends {especially ones I was able to see again, that I haven't in a long time, I have missed you all and am so glad too see you again} To get letters in the mail from one of my best friends and my number 1 buddy.  To have not one, but two jobs that I love, to be completely done with school, I am still amazed I finished.  I can't believe I did it, but I am so happy I did.  To have the opportunity to take road trips, for the opportunity to go to Africa.
I am truly blessed with great things and great opportunities and I love the people I have met along the way.  And that months can go by without talking to them or seeing them but I am able to catch up with them and it feels like no time has passed since I saw them last.
I have great parents who have pushed me too do my best and not to settle, I am grateful for the growth as an individual I have done... I am a person who will never stop changing I am constantly getting to know me.  I am so happy I have this time to do that, that I am truly getting to know me and what I want and not settling ever again. That I can pick and choose and be honest.  I love it and I love the ah-ha moments I have that make me realize things... that are truly important to me.  Life is fabulous, and I am going to have a fabulous time living it.

{The End}

Thoughts of the Day

I have a few things on my mind, that I thought, where better to be written then on my blog.  This is completely my opinion and some people may not agree and others may agree.  It is whatever, but here it goes.
-Well Bin Laden is dead {it seems pretty legit this time} and people around the world are so very happy about it.  They are throwing parties and posting facebook statuses, this has been something so many people have been waiting for for ten years.  9/11 was a tragic time, it destroyed so many lives... and we finally got one of the masterminds behind the attack that left American's in such fear and chaos.

I read so many of my friends facebook status updates {like I said before} so many said things about him finally being dead, that he was going to burn in hell, he got what was coming to him.... all in all their was a lot anger.  Although on this occasion I did not update my status with the masses.  Only one status really captured what I was feeling, me personally: 

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

-MLK Jr.

That pretty much sums up my feelings on the events of it all, I don't want anyone to think that I was mad that they were mad at Bin Laden and are glad that he finally got what he had coming.. these are just my feelings on the situation.  I hate being mad in general I don't like being angry or holding grudges.  I know the sacrifices SO many people have made, I have had dear friends make those same sacrifices, 9/11 struck a cord in everyone.  It will never be forgotten, nor will all the lives of so many we lost.  So thank you too all the amazing troops out their serving and the everyday heroes of America who continually show what a true generous loving serving American is and how we are.

On a lighter note:

The cute sister, in the middle... yeah she WON for Sophomore Class Officer today, people love her and are drawn to her.  She has such a sparkling, yes I said sparkling personality... she is a friend to everyone.  She is one of my best friends.  I cried when I found out she won because I know she will make a HUGE impact on the school.   I love you Livs, I am oh so very proud of you!!!
