It all started with Stubbing your toe.

You wake up in the morning while its still dark out. You get out of bed and as you make your way to the bathroom you stub your toe on the dresser. You yell so loud with anger as the pain and frustration increases that you wake the sleeping baby who begans to cry. After you make a bottle of chamomile tea and you put the baby back to sleep you finally make your way to the bathroom.Once you are done using the bathroom you decide to lay back in bed to for a couple of minutes to calm youreslf down. What you thought was only five minutes turned out to be a very short hour and you are now late for work. You jump out of bed, get dressed half decent and you skip breakfast. Once your at work you realize you forgot your Cellphone and wallet at home and your boss just asked you to skip lunch so you can get your big project done ontime. Your days has only gotten worse and worse and all you want to do is go home and sleep. Throughout the day your mind set has switched from positive thinking to negative thoughts about everything. Not even the birds chirping outside your office make you smile, infact your ready to go out and shoot'em. As you head off for home you realize you forgot your keys on your desk. As you make your way back up the stairs you mumbble a few cusswords under your breath. Once you finally get your keys and you make it to your car you realize that you were parked in a Handi-Cap spot and you now have a ticket. You get home thinking things are going to be better but you still have to finish that project for work and make yourself some dinner.Once everything is taken care of at home and the baby is asleep you finally lay your head down to rest, and to think that it all started with the stubbing of your toe. If you would have kept calm about that I am pretty sure your day would have gone much better. The power of thought is magnificent. You have the option to change how your day is going. If you are having a horrible day such as the one above you can change that by telling yourself that your day is going to be a good day and by focusing on all the positive things.

Sun Is Out

Today has been a great day so far. The sun is shining bright out and it is not cold. It actually feels like spring is right around the corner. Which it is, it lacks about two months and I cant wait for it to come!
Tonight I'm going to Ex-Extreme. It is a little get together for all Ex members of the churchs youth group Extreme. When I say ex members I don't mean members who were kicked out. lol. I mean members who graduated from highschool and are now in college. Extreme was only for highschoolers. I'm actually excited to go see all of my old friends who have gone away to college.

Prayers are needed

A really close friend of mine named Mariana was in a horrible accident.

So far this is what I know...

She was riding a Quad with a relative whose name is Derik. They took the turn going way too fast and hit straight on into a wall. Mariana went flying over 20 feet and she is currently in the hospital unconcisous and were not sure if she is going to make it. The doctors said that if she does make it they are not sure she will ever be able to walk again. She also had a clot in her brain but I was told that went away. Derik hit the wall with is face and broke a lot of bones in his face. I'm asking everybody to please keep them and their families in your prayers. I cant help but feel sad today. I know that God has a plan for everything and that everything happens for a reason but it is still sad to see a loved one suffering.

Morning Sunshine!

I just got a Canon Rebel T1i and I have been dying  for spring to come so That I can use it. Well this morning an opportunity presented itself to me. As I was walking up the stairs I looked out the sliding glass door and there it was. One of the most beautiful sights I have seen in a long time. The sun was just rising and the sky was a perfect shade of gray and blue with a hint of red/orange from the sunlight. I ran backdown stairs, almost tripping myself I was in such a hurry, grabbed my camera, put on the Telephoto lens and started shooting. I took several pictures but this one was my favorite. Oh what I would have given to be able to sit and enjoy a nice big cup of coffee while watching this marvelous art piece rise up into the sky. But I did not have time because I had to be at work at 8:00am and I only had a few minutes to spare. 

An Absolute MUST Read!

Before I even start you must know that I am not a big fan of reading. I only read books that truly capture my attention and can keep me interested. Shattered Dreams is unlike any other memoir, it is a heartwarming story that is filled with joy, sadness, happiness, praise and perseverance. Irene Spencer does a great job with writing this book about her life. She takes you deep into the heart of what it is really like sharing your husband with 9 other wives, what is like to live in poverty and complete isolation, with no family close by to run to for support when needed. She takes you back in time to some of her most heart wrenching memories like when her baby Leah died or when her husband married her sister. If you are looking for a book that will keep you up until wee hours in the morning or a book that makes you feel like you are in the story, then I suggest you read this book. You will not regret it. Once you read it let me know. I'd really enjoy discussing your thoughts about it.

One, Two, Three, Four, the list of teeth grows some more. Five, Six, Seven, Eight, looks like I'm a little to late.

Today has been a great day so far. The sun is shinning and its 23 degrees out and I don't need a jacket! yes I'm happy that is 23 degrees out because its been in the negatives these past couple of days things are finally starting to warm up. It snowed a little past my ankle last night. But today most of the snow on the roads has melted. This morning I had a dentist appointment, which was very needed. It had been a long time since I last went to the dentist and had a full cleaning and x-rays. My teeth feel amazing but the dentist said I need like 8 teeth to be worked on. I guess I should have never waited that long to go. Luckily my great insurance from work is paying 80 percent of it so I only have to pay about $350 dollars. Which is a heck of a lot better then the $1500 it would have cost me without insurance. After the dentist I went to Culver's to get myself some lunch before I headed off to work. Culver's has amazing food. Their shakes and custard is some of the best! I usually get a grilled cheese and their delicious crispy curly fries with a side of ranch. People who do not eat at Culver's at least once in their lifetime don't know what they are going to be missing. Today is Friday and you know what that means?! It's pay day! My pay was over $500 which was very nice! I used to get a check and deposit into my account but I switched to direct deposit because that makes life so much easier. If I am not in town on pay day my check gets deposited into my account and I do not have to worry about anything! Makes life a lot easier. Today I work until 7 and then I'm not too sure what I'm going to do. I'm probably just going to stay home and visit family and tomorrow I work 8-2 which is nice!
So here is another funny article that I was reading. It involves Robbers and Stoves... take a look for yourself.
