101 in 1001.

Looks whose typing again! So since I'm awful at keeping even monthly goals up to par, I decided to embark on a longer goal setting journey and when I heard of the 101 things in 1001 days, it seemed right up my alley! As with any goals one has to make themselves accountable so here's my little list list out here for all to see.

Catch Up, 7UP.

Hey there. Long time no chat eh? Life can be cray like that sometimes you know? Anywho, to get you up to speed on the latest with moi…

-It's summa time! #praiseJesushallelujah
-I'm in my beloved California and NOT Utah (insert praise hands)
-I'm working like a craz-o but it's so good to be busy and not like "So what do I wanna do with myself"
-Despite the heat and random humidity, I still manage to freeze ERRDAY at work (no surprise)
-Living close to tons of family is the best and I get to love on my little Wybug and Lita all the time!
-Church is great and having church friends is even better!
-I finally overhauled my wardrobe yet still own 50 shades of black and grey.
-Not going back to Utah has to be the happiest thing ever
-BIGGEST NEWS YET: I HAVE A…just kidding y'all! STILL single as F but ain't even mad about it.

Here's to keeping up with this little blog since it's been far too long, I have to much to say and no one to say it to, and I have a feeling that things are going to be changing for the better soon! Besitos!

Sunday Highlights.

Sundays are such a highlight to my weekend. When else does one get a true break from the everyday duties to just relax, slow down and marvel all that we truly have in life despite all the craziness. Somedays I'm all about bullet points yo.
-sleeping in
-rushed breakfasting while church prepping
-church attending (church was so what I needed in everyway today)
-activity committee planning
-package receiving (thank you neighbor for finally being home when I came over-only took you 5 days to get on board)
-naptiming
-book reading
-dinner eating
-relaxing
-rain watching with the window open (can we say glorious?)


If the rest of this week continues on this same level of awesomeness, I'll be a happy camper (sans real camping of course...ugh #killmenow)

Sunday Reflections.

Today was great for about 500 different reasons but I'll just list a few:
-I finally have my fav gummy bears again 
-afternoon naps
-church was rockstar (JC leading music with a baton and holster for said baton attached to belt #priceless)
-smoothie breakfast
-leftover pizza for dinner is the best
-actually talking to people I don't know at ward prayer
-finding out cute boy did stay for summer and looked dang good working his red pants...feel free to #holla@yagirl ANYTIME!

Think Happy Thoughts.

Being happy is the best. When you're happier, you can spread the cheer onto someone else. Since this is my last free week (for a few weeks) this is how I will get my happy on:

1. Reading books

2. Cooking/baking

3. Sleeping in/ taking nap

4. Watching cartoons on youtube

5. Hanging out with my amigs
