ANXIOUS

I can't wait to be in Arizona again. I can't wait to tell my family how grateful I am for having them in my life and all that they have done for me. Its been such an amazing year, so far. We still have Christmas and new years. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful life and so many wonderful people in my life today.

Last night as I was going to sleep Maggie and Chico came into my room, jumped on my bed, snuggled into my arms and fell right asleep. I started tearing up...Animals finally trust me and they can love me for me. I spoil those puppies sooo much! Its unbelievable! I am grateful for Tyler, the family that I live with and has basically adopted me and my family. Speaking of family, I went to park city last night to visit them and my sister had made a book about what she was grateful for. On the back of this book she had drawn everyone in my family except for me...I was almost resentful towards her (she is 6) until I realized that its my fault. I never take the time to go up and visit with her anymore. Ty looked at me as we were driving home and said that we should go up once a week just to visit. I thought he was crazy but if it meant that my sister wouldn't forget about me then I would do it. I love my family and I love everyone who calls me out on my crap. I have learned many lessons this week, especially the most important one:

Learn to live with what you have
even if its not what you want.
God gives you what you need or what he thinks we need
to be happy.
There is no such things as a coincidence,
its God being anonymous
and doing for us
what we can not do for ourselves.
Appreciate the little things.

I am really artsy...or so I like to think. Ty and I had a great weekend. We went and saw a 3D movie at the I-max theater. We had sushi downtown. We went to the western conference real game. we played settlers with kevin and emily. We saw changeling (super intense btw). We went to breakfast both mornings and I also helped josh do his spanish project. Actually, I basically did his spanish project for him but we wont tell anyone.

Oh my gosh...I forgot to tell you, Tyler played DDR on friday night! it made my year watching him and Kevin both play each other. I have a movie, coming soon.

can we pretend that I am really good at taking pictures?

I have never in my life, all 21 years of it, come across a bagged pickle.

who buys only two eggs for three dollars? just because they are cooked? ew.

bakers dozen, son.

Today I woke up, brushed my teeth and ate some delicious popcorn. After attacking my crazy/busy day I decided to bake, with some help from Josh. But, before we baked we also tackled maggie (she is a dog) to the ground and painted her nails. Here are some nice pictures of my crazy/busy day.

P.S. My day was absolutely not busy in any way, shape or form.

ew...

After I cleaned up my mess... I was not so into baking anymore.

The biggest cookie everrrr. It was amazing
Straight out of the box, just how mom did it.

I like snow. Snow likes me.

I didn't have shoes on or a coat and he thought it would be hilarious to make me go out in the freezing cold to take a picture with him.


The first snow. Its not much but its really exciting to see the change in seasons. The best part is watching Ty get excited over such a little storm, he thinks a light flurry is a huge blizzard.

Was by far my favorite game ever. I had such an amazing time in Arizona, so amazing that I almost cried when we had to leave. It was so great to be a part of Tyler's life and everyone in it. His kids were absolutely fun, funny and adorable. I can't wait to visit again for thanksgiving and see everyone. It was overwhelming at times meeting everyone all at once, but by the end it didn't seem nearly as crazy and things started to mellow out. We went to the Barneys cabin and had a blast. Marley and Miles wanted to go fishing so we took them down to the stocked pond with cheese because we could not find any fish food. So, after all of this comotion getting down to the pond, tyler and I made cheese balls and started fishing...Marley and Miles wanted to collect rocks. We had a great time, we caught four fish in thirty minutes and made tyler do the dirty work. I think one fish died but tyler pushed it away because miles was watching and seemed worried. I better get back in shape so I am able to keep up with the White family, they are always on the GO.
