Starting Over

I'm still trying to decide whether to delete all the older posts or just pick up now with a different theme.

Catching Up

Ok so life has been interesting lately. I went for a second visit this year to see my adorable neice Sophie. She is growing up so fast and gets funnier everytime I see her. Also enjoyed being set up by my sister with a boy, which added to the fun of the trip.

I have a job that instead of going permanent is now a daily guessing game. I'm not even sure I want to keep it anymore. Ahhh decisions, decisions... I have a new calling as the Relief Society Secretary that is keeping me busy but giving me the ability to get to know every sister in the ward and allowing me to work on being more social in general. Along with being social trying to make more of an effort to make friends and get out more often. Still love to be alone doing my own thing, but trying be social too. Plus I'm back to working out and fighting. It has been good for me to get some of my frustrations out. And get in shape for the summer!

I'm still using my good luck charms on helping the world get married. My girl friend here in Oregon got married on Saturday at the beach and was able to be there with my parents and had a great time. Also enjoying trying to meet boys online again and having a blast. Maybe, just maybe one day I'll meet someone special, keeping my fingers crossed!

Sophie

A few weeks ago I went down to Texas to visit my sister, her husband and Sophie. We did lots of dancing, playing, reading and talking, so much fun! Sophie loved to talk, she counted to 10, read Little House of the Prairie and said her please and thank you's. She liked having her hand held, wanted to dance when the music was playing and loved seeing pictures of herself on my camera. Here are pictures of all the fun we had.

The New Year

Well I haven't written on my blog in forever so I better do some catching up. First of all I had a good 28th birthday and along with buying a diamond ring and clothes, I treated myself to a beautiful digital piano that I love so much. One of my goals for the coming year is to practice and be a better pianist.

On to December, I bought my very first real Christmas tree. It was so much fun to go to the tree farm and pick a tree. I bought the first one they showed me and it was a beautifully perfect 8 foot tree. I had them bale it, drove it home with it in my car from the length of the dashboard to the end of the trunk, made a little bit of a mess. I took it home carried it up the stairs and set it up in its place all by myself. Pretty much I rule with doing everything on my own.

I got many great gifts for Christmas including new pots and pans, casserole dishes, a gorgeous coat and a rice cooker from my best friend. My brother came to visit and I had a great time hanging out with my family. Lots of good times and laughs, my family is so much fun!

Spent New Years Eve with my best friend and the next few days played and watched a bunch of movies. It's been a good way to start the new year and looking to making new resolutions and have a successful time in 2010.
