Clean floors no more.

See this little guy here...

...May I suggest to you that you never buy it. Now, I know you are dying to know why. Well, my friends, you will get to use it approximately 3.29659 times before it breaks. grrr. Does anybody know how to fix a vacuum cleaner?

Changing it up!

I normally don't post anything too personal on this blog, so here is a little change.


Colossians 3:12-13

"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye."

"Each of us is a son or daughter or God, endowed with something of his divine nature. Each is an individual entitled to expression and cultivation of individual talents and deserving of forbearance, of patience, of understanding, of courtesy, of thoughtful consideration." - Stand a Little Taller

I am working on this right now, and it's hard, dang it!

How about some dinner with that ranch?

I had great ambitions for today...to actually cook dinner. This does not happen too often. I made dinner...and it was awful. I cooked two different things and ended up dumping ranch on both of them to make them taste good...or like ranch. I would tell you what I made, but you might actually throw up when you find out that I put ranch on these things. Am I still in college? Well, I definitely still cook like I am...or worse. I think it's worse. I'm getting worse as time goes on. Please pray for my future family....

Snowy, Snowy Dallas.

Some unusual weather has hit Dallas as of late. On Tuesday night we had this massive ice storm. I could hear it pelting my window all night, but the real fun came when I had to leave for work the next morning. You see, my friends, I do not have an ice scraper. I bought this car in October and immediately moved to Texas. And well, you know...you don't need to worry because it doesn't get cold in Texas. Somebody told me that...but I can't remember who....Anyways, I didn't have any method to remove the inch thick layer of ice that covered my car. I spent 45 minutes sitting in my car waiting for the ice to melt...You see, I couldn't leave my car running while I was inside because I am afraid that someone will steal my wicked rad car....So there I sat. NOBODY, I mean nobody, was on the roads that morning, so the drive wasn't too bad. Nothing that couldn't be handled. I think the entire state of Texas took the day off of work...(The grass wasn't even covered with the 'snow' that we got). This entire week at work has been very sparse. In fact, out of the 9,000 people that work at the great and spacious building that is Blue Cross Blue Shield, I think only the actuaries showed up...and not even all of us at that. By the way, if you don't know what an actuary is, you should google it. Back to my story, it snowed another 6ish inches last night. This didn't go too well with the layer of ice underneath it. The commute was the worst this morning, seeing how I don't think a single plow exists in the state of TX (kidding, the news said there were 30 plows out. seriously? 30 plows....Only NYC, LA, and Chicago are bigger than you and you only have 30 plows out? haha) BUT it's the weekend, and I don't have to deal with the commute for two whole days! This is glorious. Oh Texas, you are great. If I were still in school, I would of have four days off! How awesome is that?!? Well folks, I just got home from work, gah!. It's 10:30. I'm outta here.

Oh honey, Texas is NOT the south....

Hello, Hello from the good ole state of Texas! I've been living here coming up on three months now. Can you believe that?!? Well, the first two months went fast...not so much the last.  There is not a whole lot to report. Work is becoming increasingly busy. I've had a couple weeks of 55+ hour weeks, and I have the pleasure of going into work tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 7, and I've already put in my 55 hours this week. :( Oh well, enough complaining! Life is great! I have a job!

I can't really think of anything to say. I'm just that boring!!! I did spend three hours waiting in line at the DMV on Wednesday to get a drivers license. Three hours! RiDiCuLoUs! Please do not make me explain the inefficiencies of our government. grrr... In much happier news, it was 75 degrees today. How awesome is that? SO AWESOME! 

My calling in my ward is Family Home Evening Co-Chair. It's my eternal calling. I must need to learn that FHE is important. haha. Anyways, I have to speak in sacrament meeting in a couple weeks on how to make family home evening a priority in your life. That is a HARD topic...at least for me. I mean, I have a few things to say about it, but definitely not a full talk's amount on it. Please pray for me. I need all the help I can get.


Well folks, it is Friday night and I am wiped out! If any of you are in the Dallas area any time soon, please remember that you have a place to stay....well at least you'll have a floor to sleep on. Do not fret however, the carpet is super plush with nice straight vacuum lines. You will most surely sleep well. I mean, I am sitting on it RIGHT NOW, and I think it's great! AND, don't worry, they just sprayed for bugs yesterday, so no little critters will be sleeping with you. :)

Overwhelmed....

This is how I feel right now. Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh....Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh.....

Hello blogging world!

I have been out for a while. Work and studying takes up so much time! Here's a little update. I went home for Christmas. It was great to get away from here and to see my family. Even my grandpa came out to visit for Christmas, so that was good. It was a super short break. I haven't worked at my company very long, so I didn't have much PTO built up. I've been trying to learn my job at work for a while now. I feel like it's taking so long for me to feel like I actually work there! I have been busily studying for MLC when I am not at work. I will be taking the test in May.  Oh boy, these tests are stressful!

I'm trying to think of fun things to tell you. I've been meeting a lot of people in my single's ward. I've made some good friends, which is fantastic! I feel so much more welcome here than I EVER did in Greeley. I've been slowly "decorating" my apartment...and by decorating I mean hanging up one picture that I got for Christmas that broke in my suitcase on the way back here. I bent it back into place, took out all the broken glass, and called it good. There is still some college student left in me!

Peace out folks.
