Wake Up

Do you wake up to a CD, the radio, or a buzzer?

I usually wake up to my phone on vibrate. Who uses a real alarm clock now days anyway? I don’t have any music on my phone, so I don’t get to wake up to music. There are some days, though that I don’t hear my phone, so I wake up to Greg getting ready for school. After he showers and comes into the room, I usually ask him to grab my phone so I can go back to sleep and wake up when it buzzes. I wish I could wake up to some blaring music, but I don’t think Greg would appreciate my music choice. So I just wait until he’s gone and then I blare my music while I get ready for work.

Patience!

What personality trait would you like to adopt?

Patience…or the ability to not freak out over little things that happen. Patience is something I pray for everyday…patience in my job, with my husband, with people I work with, etc. I’m obviously failing quite miserably, because I have to keep praying for it. But I just envy those who let little things slide off their shoulders like it’s no big deal. I try to…but then things build up and build up, and eventually EVERY little thing is a big deal. Not cool. So that’s a trait that I wish I had.

I was able to go to the temple today. My baby sister is getting married, so she went through today…CRAZY!! It’s just crazy to think she is old enough to get married. It was a good day though. We were able to go out to lunch with my family that was there (mom, dad, Kandyce & Clay, Brady & Ashbee, and McKenzie) plus Kyler’s family. It was good to spend time with them and see them. I can’t wait until the wedding so the rest of the family (ie, the niece and nephews) will all be there.

Dream Room

If you could design a room in your house to suite only your needs, what would it look like?

Good question. I’ve always been obsessed with scrapbooking, so my room would be full of scrapbook supplies. Floor to ceiling shelves of papers, stickers, etc. Even though I don’t do much traditional scrapbooking, it will still be full of stuff to do it. I will also have a new mac on a cute little desk with an awesome printer in case I wanted to do a bit of hybrid scrapping. Basically just an awesome room where I can go to scrap in peace. Oh, and it'd have an endless supply of 'snacks' (aka junk food) and awesome music!

Last Vacay

When was your last vacation? Where did you go?

I’m not sure I’d really consider it a ‘vacation’ but I did go to Vegas December 27-30. We went and stayed at my sister-in-law’s house. Greg, Robert and I went out to the Hoover Dam one day and walked across the crazy huge bridge. Then we were able to spend one night out on the town with Mike and Juanita. Always good people watching times. It was a bit chilly, probably the coldest I’ve experienced down there, but fun times anyway. It was a bit crazy considering it was so close to New Year’s Eve, but fun anyway. That was the most recent ‘vacation’ we’ve been on.

Glad for today...

What are you glad you did today?

As always, I’m glad I went to work. Had I not gone to work today…I would not have gotten paid for 6 hours, and while the amount of money I make for the amount of work I put in doesn’t always come out even, it’s always a good learning experience to go to work and deal with what I deal with.
