Just some things... :)

Today, I thought I would share some things that have been making me happy.  :]

  • I pick up on things relatively quickly.  
    • I helped make most of four granite countertops today.  I understood what I was doing, and I didn't mess up.  That is an accomplishment for me.
  • Fingernail polish that changes color in the sunlight! :]
    • It's my new favorite thing.  Instant joy and happiness right there!
  • My little brother needs me.
    • He needed something cut today...and he didn't know how to use a chainsaw.  I did.  And it made me happy.
    • "I think the vorpal sword was a chainsaw.  They go 'snicker-snack!'" --Max
      • This made me burst out laughing and almost drop Melvin (he wasn't running yet)
    • P.S. Meet Melvin Stihl the Chainsaw.  His wife, Victoria, is a weed-wacker.  They've been my good friends for a while now.
      • And yes, I am wearing color-changing nail polish in that picture :D



  • My skills come in handy sometimes. 
    • I cut this pile of wood with a chainsaw last summer.  I didn't think I'd be needing that skill so soon
  • Shopping at DI
    • I found a cute dress that fits me like a glove...for $8.  I'm quite pleased with myself.
  • I can sew
    • The other day, I ripped a 5" hole in my jeans.  Thanks to my handiwork, you can't even tell...unless I point it out to you...which would just be awkward... ;)
  • Family--They're just the greatest!
    • I get to work for at least 8 hours a day with the best daddy I could ask for
    • My siblings are silly/happy/funny/goofy/loving/cuddly/cute/wonderful
    • My mother loves to sit and visit with me all the day long
    • We watched Nacho Libre for FHE...it was much needed family-laugh time
    • I painted nails and braided hair with a bunch of girl cousins yesterday
    • Petey and William ran to give me hugs yesterday
    • I laid on my grandparent's floor and visited with them
    • My eyebrow trick makes Blake (my nephew) giggle
  • Waking up to a text from Alissa Fred
  • British comedies
  • Playing the grand piano and singing along.  Could my house be more beautiful for that?  I submit that it can not!
  • The sunshine!  It finally showed up! (Which made my nails and earrings change colors which brightened my day just that much more!)
  • Thinking about Alissa Fred, my Chumbley family, Miiiiichael ALAN, Eric William Mordecai Archimedes, and my Crookshank family all having a BLAST at Disneyland today
  • Marie Morgan making Elder Craiggory a Funfetti cake :]  Brightened my day a ton!
  • Letters from Tommy from Chuuk!  (P.S. If ANYONE knows ANYONE who can translate Chuukese...'twould be a great help!)
  • Watching Nacho Libre and thinking about Larsen serving a mission there.... Hehehehe!
  • Watching Nacho Libre and thinking about my practically sealed FHE family--especially Craig, Christel, and Kirby.  I love all our jokes! :)
  • Figuring out how to play the guitar.  It's a pretty fun pastime.  I enjoy it a lot.
  • Feeling so sore, tired, exhausted, and completely un-lazy.  It's perfect just before you go to bed. Goodnight everyone! :)
