Day 12: What's in my bag? And other random bits of life as of late.

If I could find my camera I would take a picture but it's buried somewhere in the mess that is our house while we're in the process of moving. In  my bag I have:
-my badge for work
-my wallet, which always seems to be empty for some reason. Hmmm...
-a tube of Aquaphor for my lips.
-About 5 pens
-Usually a granola bar, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, or other foodstuffs.
-Car keys
-A mess of receipts and papers I've randomly thrown in there.

On a different note, I went to Ian's football game this morning. I've been telling him for weeks that I'm going to come and I finally made good on my word today. It was a great game! A friend from Ian's English class invited him to be on a team with him, and they really have a great group of guys. They won by more than 20 points. Go Titans!

 That's the face he gave me when I told him to look mean...

What a dork.

We're two weeks away from the end of the semester and three weeks away from moving to Texas. It's a wonderful, stressful, bittersweet, stressful, exciting, stressful, adventurous time of life. (Oh, did I mention I'm completely stressed out??) It'll be here before we know it!!

Day 11: Siblings

I've been looking forward to this one actually. I have best siblings in my family, who truly are my very best friends. We have always been close and really hardly ever fight. It's a dream come true!

Megan:
Megan is very creative. Whether it's writing, art, poetry, or singing, Meg's amazing at it! She's got volumes of notebooks full of writing and you might want to keep an eye out because one of them will probably be in print one day. She's passionate, artistic, deep, but also just as wild and zany as the rest of us.

Pwetty Sisto.

Ian:
Oh little bud. I still call him that even though he's 6'3". Bud is just a good kid. No doubt about it. Whether it's his silly phrases (punch a baby, pwned, and jewed, just to name a few) or the way he's always treated his sisters with such love and respect. He's basically the reason Jillian got a job at Cold Stone. His managers liked him so much, they decided to hire her too. He's getting ready to graduate high school with a high GPA and getting ready for a mission in 2012.

 Don't worry, he eventually figured out how to ride it...

 I had to throw this one in there too. Best. Photo bomb. Ever.

Jillian:

I don't know one thing this girl isn't good at. Seriously, she makes the rest of us look a little bit pathetic. She's an artist, a dancer, a singer/songwriter, a model, a director (even if it is just for the videos filmed in her room with her friends) and a great friend and little sister.

One of my very favorite pictures of us. Love ya Jill Bill.

Day 10: What I wore

This is kind of a boring one but ok. This is what I wore yesterday:

In the morning it was a pair of Ian's basketball shorts and one of his shirts to clean in.

After that it was a black skirt with flowers on it and a grey shirt.

Hope you enjoyed that... 

Day 9: Beliefs

I believe in a lot of things.
I believe in God.
I believe in prayer.
I believe I have a personal Savior who sacrificed his life for me.
I believe that people who have passed on never truly leave us.
I believe in the Book of Mormon and the Bible.
I believe in Joseph Smith. That he was who he says he was, and he saw what he said he saw.
I believe that the Lord has a prophet on the earth to guide us, and that that man is Thomas S. Monson.
I believe in the power of the human spirit, and that combined with the power of prayer and of God, anything is possible.
I believe in the miracle of modern medicine, and find myself blessed to be a small part of it.
I believe that people are generally good.
I believe that sometimes the only way to learn is to take a leap of faith.
I believe that love conquers all.

Day 8: A moment

I love my job. I won't lie, it's pretty much the best in the entire world. There is one thing I definitely do not love though, and that is shots. It makes me sad to see all those cute little babies cry. But the other day there was a three-year-old boy that came in with croup. Yep, you guessed it. I had to give him a shot. He totally knew what was up the minute I walked in. He laid on the table and started to protest. I cleaned off his leg and gave him the shot as fast as I could. He looked at me as big tears welled up in his eyes and started to spill over. Not even a second later, however, he got a really mad look on his face and blew a raspberry at me. I guess I deserved that...

Day 7: My best friends

My best friend is Ian, but I already wrote about him so I'll write about my next best friends. The 4 of us kinda clicked our sophomore year of high school, and we've been friends ever since. We've laughed, we've cried, we've belted show tunes at the top of our lungs, we've watched each other grow and learn through so much. It's great to have such great friends!

At my bridal shower in June. Love these girls.

Day 6: My Day

I got home last night and realized I hadn't blogged but I was too tired from my 12-hour work day that I didn't bother to do so. That was my day... Hope you enjoyed it.
