Things that make me really happy

There are some things in life that really are awesome when they come unexpected.

1. Being told you are done paying on a bill
2. Finding money in your pocket
3. Finding out that you have PTO and you now get to take it off!!!


I got to work the other morning and my boss called me into her office. She started asking me my hire date, and the days I had off already. Then she tells me that I have 96 hours left that I can use for vacation. that 16 days!!

So now you can bet that I am planning all sorts of vacations and trips. Jake of course doesn't have all that time off so, I am going to travel the world alone. haha. Only kidding.

Except for now I am going to be planning a trip to Vegas for the NFR. (we were already planning on going) but now I get paid to go watch attractive cowboys. With my attractive cowboy.


If you have never been to or heard of  the NFR, it stands for National Finals Rodeo. This is pretty much the big show and rodeo that all cowboys are working towards. They are put into they ranks by how much money they have won throughout the year. The top 10 get to compete in the NFR. They get a buckle, saddle, and even one person wins a new truck, and of course money.


Pretty much it is really fun, and I am getting really excited to go!

What would you do with 16 days off??


I'm off to enjoy the sunshine and warm water!!

BE GREAT

Hello for the Lake of the Powell! I am so happy I love Lake Powell. If I could I would live here and just be a beach bum.

Really though.


Since we have moved into our new ward everyone has been so kind to us and so welcoming. I have absolutely loved it compared to our Mapleton ward. There is a relief society page on Facebook for our ward, and the ladies post good news, questions, and all sorts of stuff on there daily. It is fun to get to know the people in my ward that way and see what I can to help them out.

 The other day was trash day and I was running late for work, and Jake forgot to take it out on his way to work.

I hadn't ever posted anything on the relief society page, except when I needed a sub for my primary class. So I just posted that I would make anyone a treat who lived close to us that could run by our house and take our garbage can out to the street.

Within a matter of minutes the ward mission leader (I think that's what her position is) posted and said that she didn't need a treat and that my garbage can was taken out to the street.

This lady. WOW! I really can't tell you all the amazing stories that I've heard about her. That she is just always doing service and helping people out. The first week we moved in she found out and came and welcomed us with open arms.

She really is an example to me because she will do things for others without thinking twice. It doesn't matter who it is, or what is it she is there in a heartbeat. What an amazing person that is to do charity out of the good of their heart. Not because they want recognition, or they want praise, they just want to help out. Just something to think about for sure.
