gettin a head start...

I know I know I don't have kids yet... BUT since I like to pretend I'm mommy everyday I think I'm gonna start reading this book.. I hear its great and I need to read 2 books this year as one of my goals I'm trying to learn how to enjoy reading. Pretty soon I'm gonna have all the answers ;) LOL..

OH and I saw this and thought it was super cute.

maybe a little repetitious..

Lately my prayers have sounded a lot like this....

- please give me guidance
- please please give me confidence
- please please please take away jealousy
- please please please please give me courage
- please please please please please give me patience
- please please please please please please give me opportunity
- please please please please please please please give me security

and so much more... I think I'm being a little selfish and I think its starting to eat at me... Tonight is the night I think about everything I'm grateful for..

I love this

words can not describe how much I love this man. When I saw this picture and this quote it melted me! It goes the same for the wife as well.  When you are continually serving and caring for your spouse that love won't ever fade we are promised that!  I love how he puts it "anxious concern" makes me feel a little bit more okay and normal for my overly caring and "worry" heart.

“I am satisfied that happiness in marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one’s companion. Any man who will make his wife’s comfort his first concern will stay in love with her throughout their lives and through the eternity yet to come” Happily married for nearly 67 years

Something Happy To Blog..

wanted to blog about things that make me smile during the day!..

*My sweet 3 yr old Ava finally saying " I wa wa wa wa wa wa wa (she stutters bad its so cute) juice.. PLEEEZ shell?"   she used to just scream at me what she wanted and now I've taught her how she really gets what she wants.  So fun teaching and watching kids respond specially on their own.

* My piano students saying the funniest things like "My fingers are not obeying!" - Grace

* Funny or cute random texts that create that awkward smile or laugh for what seems to be no reason

* Thoughts about the future, and where my life is going right now.  I can only be so grateful everyday.

* Finding time to clean my room! YES!

* Watching my shows. Love Tuesdays when half of them are on or recorded from the previous day!

Every day is a good day when I look for the simple joys in life!

I think I'm being guided...

About 7 months ago I was having a conversation with my friend who are started nannying for who has an autistic little girl and when we were getting to know each other I mentioned I have been teaching piano lessons for 9 years, I love music and I love to sing!
       She started going on how I should really consider thinking about working with autistic kids with music therapy. That hit me and I thought YA that would be amazing and something I think I could be so good at! So I thought and thought about it and really liked the idea.... and honestly I kinda forgot about it!

Well then total randomness... I was at the nail salon and I was talking to this OLD OLD lady whose fingers are all dislocated and she went on to tell me she was a pianist and immediately we connected and had a long conversation.. She TOO asked me if I ever thought about working with autistic kids and music therapy and went on to talk about how she had twin 7 yr old grand daughters.  So we talked alot about that.

I think Heavenly Father might be telling me something! Specially since I am at a point in school where I really dont know what I want to do!  I even started talking to some of my music teachers and I think I could even get a scholarship bc of my music ability... hmmm?? Something I must think about I guess!

stripe fetish

I keep wondering when I am going to stop being obsessed and drawn to stripes but this fetish just keeps getting worse and worse.  I think I will always love and be drawn to stripes.  And I'm ready to have my own house and decorate it. Thats all.



Oh and I aint scurred to bring back WallPaper too... you better believe I will have lots of wall papered Walls!

Bringing back the PAST



Had so much fun putting this together! This was for my senior project.. good memories.

Stay tuned because this room is gonna turn into somethin else!

Bieber Fever

AAAAGGGGHH (screaming like the millions of girls who chase him) I just watch Never Say Never today for the first time... I refused to watch it thought it really couldn't be THAT good and who cares its Justin Bieber but I saw it on Netflix while babysitting today.. kids were napping.. so I decided what the heck I'm going to watch it..

Ummmm.... I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER... I am officially obsessed! I grew a whole new level of respect for him! I never realized he had to work for over a year trying to make his name known to the world before getting radio stations to play his music.  I am so impressed with his talent and dedication! 

And I might have cried when he sang the One Less Lonely Girl Song to that cute blonde on stage. He's so sweet! 

So YES I am a proud lover of Justin Bieber.. and dont you judge!

just a thought or two...

My mind was random today... surprise..

- I think I found the cow farm that stinks up all of Gilbert and it needs to go..

- There's nothing more irritating then going for your gum needing it desperately and then realizing your brother who you let so graciously take your car, ate every piece..

- My entire facebook news feed is about my friends who just got engaged, married, or pregnant.. or seriously dating someone and almost engaged.. its all disgusting (might've said that out of jealousy)

-  I'm sick of my stomach making funny noises like its swirling liquid around and around over and over again... its embarrassing and annoying..

- Man.. I really am a good piano teacher! LOL

- Can't wait to take a long shower and bath because I have been freezing all day and I am addicted to my Paris Amour lotion that I lather on after..

- My face hurts from breaking out!

- dang you chicken nuggets the smell of you is enough to make me nautious now!

- Can we get some new and improved music preferably country music?  

yeah might seem like some negative thoughts and I kinda was in a bad mood lol  welcome to my head but its not like this everyday tho... haha

So I've never been a fan of canopy beds even as a little girl when every girl wants one I never really liked them.. Well now after seeing Breaking Dawn I want one! haha I kinda like this one! Except I'd want big chunky wood bed frame that would look good if I decided to take the canopy stuff down... still looking for the perfect bed and picture!

obsessing

I do love my shows...
Pretty Little Liars

Biggest Loser

Gossip Girl

Kardashians

Say Yes to the Dress

24 (on dvd seasons are over)

Yes pure trash I admit

One Tree Hill

No my parents do not agree with any of these shows.. They call them all trash and delete them when I record them and I get SO mad! But when I hear their crime shows on every night I tell them thats just as worse! haha we have fun battling out whose shows are more trash!

confession... and its disgusting

So.. yes I'm addicted to diet dr pepper FROM Sonic and only from Sonic.. BUT there might be something else I need to confess... I know its disgusting but I'm getting hooked on their dang grilled cheese sandwiches too. I REFUSE to order one for myself BUT the kids I watch are so picky and just beg to go there to get a grilled cheese so I bribe them (if they listen and have happy attitudes and do one nice thing for someone they get a grilled cheese) Of course Im easy to persuade bc i have to have their ddp.. 

So what I'm getting at is... NO I will not order one for myself but Yes I eat half of their grilled cheese (the crust because no kid will eat the crust LOL).. Help a poor girl out and stop this disgustingness! 


Yes I might be drinking 2 to 3 a day.

still out of control... lol

I found a temporary remedy for my baby hungryness syndrome.. I just started nannying my cousins cute little family because he just got into medical school! WOO HOO! and they have a 4 month baby who is only 10lbs he's so little! and such a cuddle bug.  I am so lucky.. I get to love and snuggle him all day long and get paid for it! Doesn't get any better than that!

we talk all day long. you can see it in his eyes we're having a real serious conversation. doesn't get better than baby coos 

I love that he sucks on his thumb! thats why braces were invented. I'll let the kid do it all day.

Yes babies cry and fuss and need SO much attention AND its all worth it. I even realized how much I missed the smell of baby puke! LOL but foreals.

Momma hungry...

I feel like its a weird thing to be feeling extremely baby hungry before even being close to marriage.  But its the weirdest thing because I seriously can't get over this huge desire to just be a mom.  Everywhere I go I notice the cute babies around me and every store I go to I'm always drawn to the baby section its pathetic! haha I can't wait to be given the sacred responsibility of raising sweet kids and being a momma.  I also love this talk by President Hinckley.

http://lds.org/liahona/2007/12/these-our-little-ones?lang=eng&query=mother+quotes

and I might've googled some cute nursery themes. these were my favorites that came up! haha



I know I know I'm way out of control.

Bringing in the NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR (high voice) Happy new year (low voice)..... "inside joke"

what an AMAZING New Years Eve night I had.  It was seriously a night that I will never forget.  So many great things happened and its wonderful how YOU literally create your own destiny.  I truly believe what you tell yourself your outcome will be is what you will get.  I told myself before going out,  I am going to let go insecurities and not worry about the judgemental world and just be ME and gosh dang it I'm done waiting around and if I see a cute boy you bet I just might get that new years kiss from him LOL.. Yep what you believe is what you get!  I have never connected with so many people.  I literally went around making intense eye contact with hundreds of people through out the night and telling them HAPPY NEW YEAR.  People couldn't help but smile back and be so friendly and open to you.  I decided its all about that eye contact! Its a scary thing for some people to keep that strong locked eye contact but the power you get from it is unreal!
          Also a good experience.... at the end of the night we ran into some guys and got to know each other.. During the conversation I was having one on one with this guy I made a comment about my family and he asked me "Are you Mormon?" Foreals I got scared for a minute and could've easily lied to "get more attention (didn't want to be a turn off) but thats not what I wanted. Regardless how he would think of me I was going to share with him who I truly am.  So I sad YA! I am! and he asked if I was active and I said YES and he responded " WOW that makes you that more attractive knowing you are a good girl" THAT MADE MY NIGHT!  I needed that more than you even know.  That was a little gift from Heavenly Father.  Later I came to find out he has missionaries over often and has been investigating the church for some time. I would've never guessed! He was the BIG ripped body guard looking guy and just looked intense! (Never judge a book by its cover ;) but foreals)  If I would've given in to the adversary and had lied, we both would've missed out on an experience we both needed.

Here are some pictures from this great night!






Yes we made our way to the very front! 

wiggled through all these people while saying Happy New Year with big smiles
Umm Delaina.. whats this band's name again? HAHA (acted like we were the biggest fans just for fun of course)


These people liked our plan and were rootin us on to get to the front





They are brothers and so so nice and um had good breath. :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! a great great new years eve! and DANG IT I didn't get a picture of the guy I had that conversation with at the end... darn it.
