A goal not written down is only a wish :-)

This summer is going to be a creative one. I am making a to-do list.. There are things I have been wanting to-do.. Well wait no more self, Here I come!

 

~Read 4 books!(4 is going to be a stretch!)

--- Learn 10 new crafts and blog them!! ( I am following a handful of craft sewing blogs.. they are my inspiration... I want my blog to be a cool one to follow..wow.. what a dork!)

++ Become more of a "coupon-er" I have gotten price matching down to a T, now it is time to pull out the coupons! I admire the women who take 10 minutes to sort through their BIG binder of coupons and go through their list for every item! I want to be the women that holds up the line at the store to save $$$... 

>>> ZUMBA 3 times a week! That doesn't include regular gym time......BECAUSE... (see next goal)

<> Finish another 5k! I have done two 5ks and one 10k and dog-on-it I am gonna do another one.. there is nothing like finishing a 5k, walking/jogging/running through that finish line.... ON YOUR MARK....GET SET......GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Nuff Said...

I moved... yes again... stop judging.... really.. you'll understand.... ok ok here is the nut shell version.
Erika's finances created a problem and she needed a cheaper place and I couldn't afford to live in the apartment we were at on my own.. So the start for a new apartment began.. I looked and looked and found one. Then I realized that I needed to sell mine. So I posted and ad on Craigslist and KSL Classifieds and sold the contract in a week. That same week I found my new place. I found one I can afford on my own incase roommates don't work out. I love it and the HUGE perk is I am NEXT DOOR to my BEST FRIEND! !Yesterday Amanda came over to borrow a can opener! I was  so excited to let her! It is so much fun. I have been in the new place since the 16th of April. I am still unpacking..... BUT its ok. I have had a great distraction and dont mind. Sometimes the distraction helps me out alot.. ok all the time the distraction helps. Life is indeed super dooper awesomely stupendously great         :-)    (oh and I got the picture from the amazing site www.apartmenttherapy.com...)



- Dont pack everything in 2 days ( I packed for a week-ish before the move... so much easier this time)
- Find someone with a truck and trailer (this time around I did and it made things so much easier... 1 trip... verses the last move (at least 5 trips to place #1 then about 6 more to the next place) I trailer would have minimized this to about 3 trips)
-Take a day to clean before you move in ( I didn't to this for either move... lesson learned... :-P)


Thats basically what I learned from this move. Learn from me. Nuff Said.

A few of MY Favorite things

Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with string. Those may be Maria's (Julie Andrews) favorite things, I like them but I have some different favorite things that I love just as much as Maria loves those things...... I know I'm a dork.. but hey :-)


~Scriptures (My FAVORITE set of books!) 
~Zumba (even though I have not been as good at going as I should the past few weeks...Its still a favorite)
~Musicals ( I love to sing them at work...)
~PACKING! (I AM BEING TOTALLY SARCASTIC... SARCASAM IS A FAVORITE THING THOUGH  ;-))
~Fixing it up, wearing it out, making do or doing with out... (aka.. being thrifty)
~ Sunsets!!
I love love love love Sunsets! I see them everyday and love to see the colors and thank Heavenly Father for the most amazingly beautiful picture in front of me! Everyday I see a Sunset and think (sometimes say if I'm with someone) 'SOOO beautiful and there will never be another like it EVER!'  I love finding fun new quotes. I have found some great ones that are about Sunsets!  I also love taking pictures of the sunsets that I see! 

“Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.”

It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream

The sunrise is Gods greeting - the sunset, his signature

Peace... is seeing a sunset, and knowing who to thank.

The setting sun, and music at the close,
As the last taste of sweets,
is sweetest last,
Writ in remembrance more
 than things long past
