I'm so smart.

So, ya'll might want to check if my hair color is brown or blonde...

because

....yesterday...I had quite the blonde moment.

I went out to run a few errands, but first I stopped by the bank (which keep in mind that the bank closes early on Saturdays), so naturally, I just used the ATM. About an hour later as I was about to make my first purchase of the day I realized....

I LEFT MY DEBIT CARD IN THE ATM.

I have never felt more awesome.

Needless to say, I canceled my card and it will be 7-10 days before I get a new one. Lets hope before Christmas though....because it will be quite the fun roadtrip back to Rexburg without having a debit card.

& the worst part...I have brown hair. So I have no excuses to being an Idiot.

(also, I love all my friends who have blonde hair)

I can't believe that Christmas is THIS week. This semester has flown by, I leave for Rexburg next Tuesday, but before getting back I will be spending New Years Eve with my best friends. I am so excited to see everyone again before we have to separate AGAIN for who knows how long.

This is also my last week working at the preschool. I won't lie when I say that 2 weeks ago I felt mentally and physically wore out and I just wanted to be done and I wanted to be able to sleep past 6am, but now...I'm a little sad. Actually maybe sad isn't the word...its a bittersweet feeling. I am so thankful for the experience of being a teacher to these precious little kids, I have fell in love with every single one of them and I know for a fact that I will miss them everyday. Heres a few things I will miss dearly about my darling little one year olds:

-Having breakfast with Brycen everyday at 7:25, it consisted of waffles or pancake, he also enjoyed rubbing all the syrup in his hair...or on my pants. Love him.

-Changing diapers every 2 hours....this is something I will EXTREMELY miss....kidding.

-Singing "If your happy and you know it". This song was pretty much always coming out of my mouth, so sorry if I ever break out into song at anytime in the future.

-Wednesdays and Fridays.

Let me explain these days and why they were my favorite besides being able to wear jeans on Fridays:)

A little boy named, Griffin.

He started coming to the school in November and I lived for the days that he was there.

Like my sister Maddie, he also has Down Syndrome.

and the minute I laid eyes on little Griffin, I knew we would be great friends. I just have a special place in my heart for kids with downs. I love LOVE love them.

Griffin made me smile

&

that memory I will never forget:)

Grateful.

I want to start off by saying, that I'm sitting here drinking a wonderful cup of hot chocolate and listening to "Carrie Underwood's Holiday Special". Life really is good.

Yesterday at church, we had a really great lesson on building your own testimony, service, and going through trials. We watched this video, which I have seen a couple times before this lesson and really want to share it with everyone:

Its amazing.

Also, I follow this blog, http://www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/, this blog has made me grateful for my life. Even on the days that I am having a hard time, it makes me realize that I really am lucky. Read it and love it. She has an amazing story. And most of the time, I will cry my way through her post....from laughing or from feeling her pain as she tells the world her story of having a second chance at life. I hope I can be half the mom that she is to her children.

I also recieved this quote and love it. Enjoy.

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt on my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

-Margorie Pay Hinckley

Sometimes, you just need a little 45 minute lesson to make your realize that there is more important things in life than yourself.

Happy.

Hey ya'll.

I was reading all my usual blogs today, and the thought crossed my mind...

I wish I could be a legit blogger.

But I'm not, so deal with it.

This post will BE super random, but I'm totally okay with it, so I hope ya'll are too.

Thanksgiving break just ended and today was my first day back to work, and well, I'm excited for Christmas break...we'll just leave it at that. And I will add that my break was pretty great. Meghan came home for the week and we drank way too much caffeine and stayed up way too late, but it was well worth it. We had some good laughs and made some pretty great memories. For example:
Going to the Thanksgiving Parade in downtown Houston.

Quite the entertainment, don't you agree megh?

As of today, I have 3 weeks left of working at the preschool, and I will admit, I will miss those little suckers come January. I will also miss my family A TON. I am so ready for Rexburg though-I think mostly because I can finally see that light at the end of the tunnel, I will be graduating in DECEMBER. I really am so excited.

Another highlight of the holiday season that is coming up is....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.

Spending New Years with STEPHJ and COURT. Our long distance relationship is tough, I mean...we are pretty good at it if I do say so myself. But talking on the phone can only last so long. I cannot wait to be with those girls, even though stephj will be departing for MESA, AZ that next day:) .

Alright....random story. Tonight I was at HEB, just picking up a few items for the fam and can I just say that if you work somewhere that involved a cash register you should probably know how to use it. Because I had to wait for SO long that I ended up getting a Dr. Pepper, so we can blame any cellulite to HEB and their cash register people. Thanks SO much. Really.

My top 3 songs at the moment:

According to you: Orianthi

Christmases When You Were Mine: Taylor Swift

Need You Now: Lady Antebellum

So, I have read a couple of Nicholas Sparks books lately...how come NO MATTER what, someone always dies? I can't handle it. I cry for most of the book and usually can't put it down, so I finish it in a day. I also realized that girls are mean. Really, as I read the book "Dear John", I legitimately thought....

"dang girl, he does have FEELINGS."

I mean, I cried for the boy.

& when the move comes out, I will probably bring a box of tissues.

now that this post is way to long.

Here's my favorite quote:

"Have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wondering why your still smiling"

-Elizabethtown.

Attitude Adjustment.

Yesterday I was in the worst mood ever. The term "woke up on the wrong side of the bed" totally applied to me. I really can't tell you why, but everything that happened yesterday made me mean. I wouldn't be surprised if people called me

"attitude ally"

just from being around me, even if they were just around me for minutes.

At some point, I did decide that I needed an attitude adjustment and I thought going to church would be just what I needed. I really hate to say this, but it made me so annoyed. I know, I know...horrible right? Anyways....I need an attitude adjustment.

SERIOUSLY.

On the bright side of things...

Court will be here

THURSDAY

@7:38pm

&

Hannah is getting her

AGGIE RING

on Friday:)

So happy for her.

Its Offical

.....I Hate Baseball.

Glee will not be on for the 2nd time due to the WORLD SERIES.

WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT...

BASEBALL?!!

Glee is the one show that I just laugh the whole time through, and I am so sad that I won't be watching it once again this week.

sad day.

Feather bed.

WOW. October was a rough month for my blog. Sorry about that (StephJ...I know you missed me). Anyways...

NOVEMBER IS HERE.

I think November is my favorite month. I just decided that recently, but I have a new found love for November. I think it is because the weather is great, the holidays are coming, and Halloween is over. HA.

(I'm not a huge halloweener, weird?!)

Okay, Now I am going to get to the point of my title for this blog.

This weekend completely wiped me out. My body is still adjusting to the late nights of this weekend and the time change is always rough for me. Lets just say, I was up WAYWAYWAY too late all weekend long and I am just not the girl to stay up late. I like my sleep. So anyways, just a little while ago....I changed my sheets on my bed and...

fluffed my feather bed.

& so...I am just so excited for bed. I have actually be so excited to sleep all day for a matter of fact.

Here are a couple of things I am looking forward to in the next 2 months:

-Courts coming to TEXAS.

-Meeting Megh's boy.

-Thanksgiving break

-Christmas break/last day of working.

-Being with my family for the Holidays.

-Spending New Years Eve with amazing people.

-Going back to Rexburg.

&now my feather bed awaits me.

Goodnight Ya'll.

For Real.
