Positive thinking leads to a Happy day!!

So Tuesdays are my days off and comes pretty close to being my top favorite day of the week if it did not involve cub scouts (AARRGGHH), I get to blog, clean the house, make bread, go to wal mart at 6 in the am (nobody in the lines), and run. So since I knew that it was tuesday blogging day I was trying to decided what thoughts I wanted to write about. I read this e-mail that my mom got about this man and his amazing positive attitude:
This man always has a positive attitude, he said that in the morning when we start the day we have a decision to make, is this going to be a good day or a bad day, and through out the day we are consumed with many different situations that make us decided if we will react with a positve attitude or a negative attitude.
There was obvious more to the story but you get the basics. So I was thinking alot of this through out the day especially because I had such a poopy attitude yesterday while I was mowing lawns for my dad. My poor papi was taken to the hospital with a heart flutter (no worries they are running tests tomorrow) he is unable to do any physical activity until the tests are done. So instead of being grateful to help my dad out I was uspet that I had to go mow this yard at 7 pm. So I decided that I needed to change my attitude, and you know what today has been such a good day.
To go along with my positive attitude I thought I would share some of my favorite things that make me happy.
*Craig ( you know, he knows exactly what to do when I am being unreasonable, he makes me so happy)
*Oyster Crackers (weird I know but my favorite, but only the western family brand)
*the sun (I miss the days of laying out at lake powell with Kaydee, or going to green valley, or even swimming-who has time)
*I love cotton (not like in clothes but when it blows off trees, it reminds me that my birthday is coming up, it always happens around this time of the year)
*smelling clean toweles (this is why I love doing laundry)
*brownie batter (I know gross but I am telling you it puts me to a happy place)
*a Hug ( I think we should have a national hugging day)
*clothes that are too loose (cuz that means I am losing the belly haha)
*Craig working on his music (even though he doesnt spend any time with me while he does it I know this is what he loves, so then that makes me love it)
*Sunday afternoons of doing nothing (except for this last sunday)
this is just a few from my every growing favorite list.
This last sunday my parents took us out to eat for helping them mow lawns, and what does craig order... a heartattack waiting to happen, I mean this burger was huge it had bacon and 3 kinds of cheeses. In order to work off that burger he helped my dad dig a hole around the irrigation so they can put a new pipe in, or something like that. so I got to sit and enjoy why my honey bunches worked off his burger haha!!

A little bit of everything




HONEY BUNCHES DAY!!
I think that is my new favorite day and I wish that I could have honey bunches day ever day. Last wed I had to drive up to Salt Lake City for some school stuff. I woke up that morning anxious for the long up and back drive with out craig, he tried to get it off but was unable to. In the morning though he had a very strong impression that he needed to go with me up to SLC, he ended up calling in sick and we drove together and it was so nice I really needed is love and support. The best part of the whole day was that he let me go shopping at my favorite store (Nordstrom...love it) he kept calling the day honey bunches day which ment I got to do anything I wanted to do (with in reason) and that ment shopping whoo hoo, plus we ate at PF Changs (that is where we ate the first time we met). So now I am just waiting for my next honey Bunches day.

We also went to conference last weekend, it was such an amzing experience to be there when the prophet walked in, we were all standing way before he entered just because we were all so excited to see him. I love that feeling of reverence when you are there. That was Craig and I's first time going to conference and I am glad that we had such a great experience. Another great part about that weekend was that we got to hang out with Criag's sister and her husband, it was so funny that we had to travel to SLC to hang out with each other, but none the less I am glad that we did and we had such a fun time with them Kevin and Craig are so much a like. We got to stay with my grandma and I am so blessed that we were able to I really enjoyed seeing her, I dont get to see her that often and I am so greatful for every chance that I get to be with her.


Also this week was EASTER whoo hoo and tradition is a big HUGE easter egg hunt in the front and back yard for all of the grand children. We had a blast hiding them especially Craig cuz he would hide them hard for the older kids haha. After the kids had their easter hunt then it was the adults turn. My parents hid camoflauges ester eggs with numbers in it and that ment which prize we got at the end. it was so much fun. I love being with family I am so blessed that they live so close to us. I love being together even if its just playing games together I love it I look forward to the next holiday.
