Watching: Just finished watching lots and lots of Hallmark movies.  During the month of December I had my tonsils out!! I did lots of Hallmark movie watching.  Now, during January, I have promised myself that I will do less tv watching and more creative ME stuff!!

Cooking:  Soups!!!  It’s that time of year.  This one and this one are my fav. right now.

Eating:  I just finished a month of eating lots and lots of ice cream.  I am glad my tonsils are healed and I can start eating more normal again.  I am ready to get off the band wagon of unhealthy Christmas junk, and start eating some salads or something(right after I link you too some unhealthy soup ideas) wink wink!!

How could one girl be so blessed?

Decorating: for fall.

Creating: a new wreath.

Pinning: Halloween ideas. (I want to make this witch skirt so my daughter can ask me for the ninth year in a row, “are you really going to be a witch, again?”

Listening to: Kip Moore.  I have been in love with this album for a long time, I am addicted to it this week.  I even like to listen to it when I fall asleep.  It also helps that this song, is the song Jonathan and I would dance to every night when we went back to Saba a couple years ago.

sad about: my kids going off to school.

Smiling about: Tessa starting her new dance class.

Laughing about:  seeing this picture after years; hanging in a historic building in Payson, UT.  That was me in 1996, when I was Miss Payson.  Can you say Bleach blonde hair?  To my credit, I had my  hair done the night before and instead of doing the typical highlights my stylist normally did; she gave me a heavy highlight.

Grateful for: the blessing of living in UT.  Recognizing that is a blessing to spend more time with family.  Also amazed at the beauty of this State.

Wishing: we could just pack up tomorrow and go to Disneyland.

Saving for: a new Bosch.  Mine broke over 6 months ago and it can’t be fixed.  I am ready to make bread again.

Preparing for: family pictures.  Picking out bows, and jewelry, shoes, and clothes.

Hoping that: our pictures don’t get rained out again.  Remember this storm in UT county? This little big number ruined picture day for our fam.

Wearing: lots of colored skinny jeans, bib necklaces, and shellac nails.

Trying to: make a better effort at letting my family know I love them.

Worried about: my upcoming MRI.

Proud of: my loving husband, how hard he is working, and how amazing he is.
