.Reason.to.Love.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I can't believe it just came and went...It's kind of sad how fast time goes now. slow down. please? I love the Christmas season and the feeling of love and service that comes with it. I love that it is an excuse to spend loads of time with loved-ones. It makes me all excited to have kids (in like 12 years) and teach them about the birth of our Savior. Anyway, I just love Christmas :) 
I'm back into the work routine, kind of a bummer but it's good to stay busy and focused. Lately I've had this little problem called SLEEPING-THROUGH-MY-ALARM. Here's a (kind of) funny story...I was scheduled to work at 9 this morning, so I planned on leaving home around 7 so I could make it to Logania safely and have some time to get ready. Well I was woken up by "Jon Feller" calling me. Guess what time it was? 9. Yeah, I overslept. Luckily my managers are pretty chill because I wasn't just going to be late, but an hour & a half late. my bad! My dad keeps telling me I'm "burning the candle at both ends." He's probably right, life is crazy busy right now...but I can't imagine it any other way! 
I'll just say it...I'm actually excited for school to start. I won't be working full time anymore (until Summer) so I can actually feel like a student again. yay :) It has been a great learning experience, I now know it is possible to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off and still be happy and get good grades. Oh the things we can do...
What am I grateful for today? no more cheesy music about Santa Claus and being cold outside at work. It's refreshing. 
 

Day 26: a picture of something that means a lot to you

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I can't imagine my life without the Gospel...it molds me, gives me a reason to live, makes me a better person, and gives me hope every single day. I don't have a doubt that it is the true church. If you are ever interested in learning more about it, please call me! Or check it out for yourself here :)

Day 25: a(nother) picture of you and a family member

Miss Avery Lynn. I absolutely adore my nieces and nephew. I'm fortunate enough to live really close to my sister and Avery, so I see her the most. She's a little ball-of-fire and always has me laughing. My mom keeps telling me she's just like me when I was that age. If that's the case then I was DANG cute!

Day 24: a picture of you and a family member

Grandpa Bob. He lives in Seattle and I see him about once or twice a year, sadly! He's hilarious and loves everyone. I'm lucky to have him as my Gramps.

Day 23: the person you've been closest to the longest

Jamie Lee. When I moved to bountiful in 6th grade I guess we hated each other...it's really funny to think back to now! We had science together in 7th grade and became close friends when we tried out for cheer that year. I needed a place to stay when my parents went out of town for a few days, so I randomly called Jame (she probably still hated me at this time..haha). We talked about EVERYTHING that weekend and I think I basically lived there for the rest of Jr high. It was wonderful :) 
SO we cheered together for 2 years, were Sophomore class officers together, were on Dance Company for 2 years together, and were both officers our senior year. And to top it off, we are both at Utah State :) we are pretty much the same person...but different.
It amazes me how tight our friendship can be, no matter how long it has been since we've seen each other. Sometimes life gets crazy busy, but we know we can always count on each other. 
I can't wait to be Jamie's next door neighbor and for our kiddos to be best friends.
Love you Jame!

Day 22: something that confuses you

Being tired! I swear no matter how much or little sleep I get in a night, I'm always tired. Any cures?
