I really like this I want to make a huge one and put it up on my wall! I am trying to come up with ideas on how to decorate my house. It's really boring right now. hmmm

It's True!

Ok so those people who know me, know that I have wanted to be a Mommy all my life.. well..... My time has come! September I will be a Mommy! I can't believe it myself some days!

It didn't really become real until yesterday when I went for an ultrasound and I was able to see the baby's heart beat, the legs, and arms. All the detail that is already there on my 5cm little baby! I have just being feeling sick (worst feeling ever!) and bloated. I wasn't having any cravings, I was actually grossed out by any food. I am always tired always having to go pee, I was getting tired of being pregnant but not really feeling it ( the excitement I mean). So when I got to the appointment and was waiting, I was getting more and more excited. Like is this really true? Am I PREGNANT?!?! I just couldn't grasp it. Then I saw him/her... I fell in love! I cried I laughed I couldn't control it.

Steve and I are so excited and can't wait. Right now we are set on not knowing the gender of the baby. We like the idea of surprise.

My social experiment

I didn't update on this right away like I said I would, because I needed more time to really see if there is a change. I didn't really have that much interaction that week after I posted my rant about rude people.
I noticed change in some people's attitude half way through out conversation when they realized that I wasn't talking rude them. When I say some I mean not everyone took to the smiles and kind voice.
I am going to keep this up and I hope that people will stop being SO rude! haha

Families Can Be Together Forever

Life lately

This weekend was my nephew and cousin's Baptism! They both turned 8 within the past month. I can't believe that they are both getting so big! It was great seeing them at this big step in their life!
Also this weekend our ward was made smaller! A new ward was formed from our ward and another. I am excited for the change, but sad to lose many great people! I hope that with this change it won't be so easy to get lost in the ward. It was huge before so it was easy to be invisible. (Maybe I will get a calling outside of Primary? haha probably not. That's alright, I love the kids in my class)
Steve's Insurance Brokerage is going well. It's keeping him really busy, so that's great!
I am excited for 2011, 2010 was full of ups and downs. Blessings, and trials. Excitement and sadness.

This morning we woke up to -28 and -40 with the Windchill......BRRRRR. WHY do I live here? I can't believe how COLD it has been this winter! I sure hope it gets warmer SOON! Even with this cold I have been thinking that I am grateful I live in Canada. We are SAFE from Political unrest and major natural disasters. My heart goes out to those in New Zealand who have been suffering from many earthquakes. My heart aches for the Libyan and Egyptian people who have been suffering because of a corrupt Government. I can deal with the cold, I don't have space to complain about life being so horrible. I have a family who loves me, a warm house to go home to each day, I have a job, we have a democratic government.
Well that's about all I have to blog about.... Till next time...

Changing Attitudes one SMILE at a time

I have been getting sooo FRUSTRATED lately with RUDE people!! Every where I go, everyone is pushing each other out of the way so THEY can be first, or get the "BEST" of what ever it is. Also I have noticed stores and restaurants not giving good customer service. At work I deal with alot of our vendors who supply our office with various things and once again I have not been getting the "Service" that I think is good. (Ie. NEVER calling me back, not deliverying what I order or on time)


I always think, SERIOUSLY people?... Have we loss all our work ethic and manners? So I have decided to do a social experiment. I am going to always let OTHERS go FIRST, Say please and thank you, be overly Polite and SMILE at EVERYONE ( EVEN if I am not being treated that way) I want to see what people's reactions will be. I have always considered myself a polite person, but I am going to go OVER the top, above and beyond what you would expect.



I HOPE that people will notice and maybe change their attitude. I will let you know in a week how it goes!

Random thoughts lately

Chores I HATE doing


Number 1-->Laundry!

Cleaning the bathrooms... (The one we never use still gets dirty! (dusty mostly)ugh!)
Making my bed each day (ya right like that ever happens!)



A few FEARS I have developed recently


HEIGHTS ( realized this while in Vegas last summer while UP 113+ stories in the air in the Stratosphere tower)

BIRDS(Always found them CREEPY, like when I was with Damon recording for our high school radio and his bird attacked me, or when I went to pet land and started crying when I realized that the only way out was right beside the BIG parrot)


WALKING/DRIVING UNDER BRIDGES WHILE THERE IS A TRAIN ( for SOME reason I have the fear that the train is going to derail and I am going to DIE)


Things I LOVE

Steven (BEST husband Ever)

GLEE (would life be great if it were a MUSICAL

Getting a FULL nights sleep (Happens less often that I would like)

My NEW KOBO EBOOK reader (Makes reading in bed much easier.. ie. I can pull the blankets right up around my neck and keep my hands and arms WARM with out have to flip a page. Only have to stick out a finger and push a button)
