Monday Marvels

This  video has gone viral and MANY people have posted it, but I just can't get over how MEAN this UNM soccer player was during the semi-final game! I've heard rumor that she has been suspended from play, but still! This is crazy.

Don't know what I'm talking about?



Crazy, No? Girls can be SO MEAN, but this is just ridiculous.

Sunday!

It is Sunday. A beautiful Sunday in fact, and so far I have done nothing today. he he he. I love sleeping. I really do.  It's so good for my soul.

I changed my blog look. Its got some cute little turkeys all over now. I do like the pre-made templates, but I get such a kick out of designing my own. I'm going to have to get Photoshop on my computer sometime so I can have fun designing cool things for my blog. I used to have access to it as a BYU student, but since I graduated....I guess I could convince SwingKid to let me at his computer and version of photoshop...hmmm that just might work. So we'll see, for now, I think I'll keep the cute background I have for now.

Nothing else is really new in my life. Rehearsals with the ballet companies are going well, physical therapy is hard but I'm doing really well and my doctor is impressed by how quickly I am improving. I thought it was going to be the end of my world as I know it and that things were going to be SO HARD for a long time, but all I had was rough few days, and then slowly progressing from there. :o) I think it helps that I've had some amazing people to help me out and be there for me. SwingKid has been such a rockstar of a supporter, and then there's Sister B and Truit who helped out a TON the few days after the surgery. Overall, the knee is doing GREAT!!

I think that's all I have for you. Sorry that I'm so boring as of late. I will try to find something to spruce up this blog of mine. I feel like it is dying, but I don't want it to die so I need to find something to bring it back up to where i'd like it. Have a great Sunday all y'all.

FRIDAY!!!

2 weeks ago today I was in surgery. Crazy eh? I went to my doc for my follow-up appointment and he said I was doing really well, keep it up and he'll see me in 4 weeks. good thing i didn't have to pay $50 co-pay for THAT. :P

in other news, i got to take the stupid tape things covering my incisions and i found out that they used SUPER GLUE to put me back together. How cool is that? love it. :o)

AND NOW! it's friday fill-in time

1. Plans and schedules make my life easier to handle .

2. I'm happy when things go the way I plan them .

3. The last thing I drank was water. I love water .

4. One of the most valuable things in my life is my family, SwingKid and the Gospel .

5. I like veggies and meat on my pizza. And I will always love a canadian bacon and pineapple pizza. yum

6. Dear November, I like how you've been warm as of late. Please do not snow this month. I want a pleasant Thanksgiving .

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to study night on campus with SwingKid, tomorrow my plans include laundry, BYU football, and Ponyo and Sunday, I want to do something different!

Monday Marvels

Welcome to November all y'all! I heart November. I think November is great. It's a time to reflect on our blessings, a time to eat great food, and a time to enjoy the last few remaining days before winter. Sigh. I think November is quite possibly one of my favorite months. As long as it doesn't snow too much, or stay too cold for a chunk of the month.

November also brings the end of normal college football play (so sad) but with that, brings one of the best games of the year: BYU vs U of U. This is always a great game and this year should prove to be no different.

So for today's Monday Marvels - watch two of my favorite plays from past years' games with the Utes...

Halloween Eve Friday Fill-ins

I heart Halloween. I'm rather excited for this Halloween...even if I'm not really doing anything. :o)

1. It was a dark and stormy night, and the vampires were out!

2. SwingKid's sister was busy, but had books to take back to his other sister, so I offered to take the books myself.

3. Rushing out, I almost forgot the important pieces to my cool ice machine.

4. It was nighttime...I think I heard a howl!

5. Shhhh... the baby is sleeping (what baby? I haven no idea, but it worked....).

6. Trick-or-treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to who knows what, hopefully something entertaining with SwingKid, tomorrow my plans include my first time back teaching and Sunday, I want to go to Stake Conference!
