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!!

Happy Anyways

There was a man that came in and talked to me at work the other day.  ** You have to understand that where I work, I am surrounded by farmers.

He was telling me about his loan and what it was for. Then I started just chatting to him because, he just seemed very friendly so I figured.. why not!?

Turns out he knows a family that I went to high school with and got started on how they are the most humble people that he knows. I loved hearing him rave about this family. Where I grew up with them I knew how they were, and how absolutely kind they are.

He went on to tell me about their grandpa, who he was friends with. How he raised his kids to be humble and kind. That they could be happy living with nothing; and that is just how his kids raised their kids. I grew up with the grandchildren so I knew that they didn't come from very much money, but they were always very kind and happy. They were smiling and participated in many activities at school. No they didn't wear American Eagle jeans every day or a Hollister Jacket in the winter, but they made due with what they had, and were soooo happy to be doing what they are doing.

I starting thinking about my life and how happy I was with what I have. I have gotten to the point where I was raised with not so much. I was raised that when I got a job that I had to start paying for things myself. I am grateful for my parents who raised me to be the way that I am.

I was very happy to tell this gentleman that I was happy with what I had in my life. He shook my hand smiled, called me and Indian Princess, and left.


I am very happy that there are people like him in this world. Good hearted, hard working people who know what it's like to not have very much, but to still be soooo happy anyways.

Starting grateful
