Accomplished!!

If I could tell you my mood, the title of this blog would be it! My family and I decided to stay home from church tonight and spend some quality time together. After a nap, I cleaned the kitchen and made Daddy and Rachel dinner while they played and pretended to clean up the living room. We are always at church and the thing is that we just did not want to go tonight and really didn't feel guilty about it...I think that's okay. Anyway, as I was getting ready to take out the trash (Mondays are one of our trash pickup days) I noticed a pile of boxes that needed to go to the garage. My husband is so good about doing the trash duty on Mondays and Thursdays but I decided that I would do it this time. I was about to take the boxes to the garage and for whatever reason got a wild hair and started cleaning up the garage. For those of you that have been to my house, you know what a chore that I have taken on. Our garage was boxes piled on top of trash piled on top of boxes...not yucky trash, just packing materials and things of the such. We had a path to get from the door to the driveway and that was getting to small.....SO.....I DID IT!!!! I CLEANED THE ENTIRE THING!!!! It looks SO MUCH BETTER!!! I had a HUGE pile of packing peanuts and our trash pile by the curb is HILARIOUS!!! I took a picture of the packing peanuts but didn't have my memory card in the camera and cannot find the USB connector for it....and we already cleaned it up (Brice helped me with this part). BUT, here is a picture of our trash pile!

Hopefully the trash guys will pick it all up!!! We have had a good weekend. Everyone have a good week!!!

Holy cow, that's a big trash pile.

But, I know what you're talking about with LOVING that feeling of productivity!
I feel that way after major tasks too.

So, GOOD FOR YOU!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
