I Like Myself

Yesterday I went babysitting and I was putting the little girl to bed and we read a bedtime story.  It was called "I Like Myself" by Karen Beaumont.  I read it and I think that the book was more for me than it was for her.  It was so cute and had the best meaning- love yourself for you.
Here's just some of it.


"I like myself! I'm glad I'm me.
There's no one else I'd rather be.
cause nothing in this world, you know,
can change what's deep inside, and so....
No matter if they stop and stare,
no person
ever
anywhere
can make me feel that what they see
is all there really is to me."


This book really just made me feel all the better because it is so true.  Love yourself for who you are.  Don't let anyone make you feel sad or worthless.  We are important in our own way.

The Best Way to Spread Christmas Cheer, is Singing Loud for All to Hear

It's Christmas Eve!!!  Ya ok that's obvious but sometimes I don't think I feel the Christmas spirit.  Or maybe I become just a little bit grumpy, which of course is not what having Christmas Cheer is. I mean Christmas is tomorrow. We all should have Christmas Cheer.  So here's my advice... I once heard this quote from a good man named Buddy the elf- "The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear."  I like that a lot.  So this season I have found myself singing... a lot (Shocker I know) and it just seems to work. I love singing my guts out to Christmas music because it does bring Christmas Cheer.  So lets all sing loud for all to hear this Christmas.

December Family Fun

I am so blessed to have such an amazing family.  I love them so much.  I love December and all the fun things I get to do in my family.  My sister has been in college and she is on school break so she has gotten to come down and do some of this stuff with us.  


At the beginning of December I had a dance recital.  The best part was it was my  little sister's first recital.  It is fun and cute to watch her dance.  I love that we're both able to dance.

In December my family usually manages to get tickets to the Tabernacle Choir concert with the guest singer and storyteller.  This year I was able to go with my brother and sister.  It was so cool and amazing to hear the Christmas music and see all the dancers and decorations too.  I always walk away from those concerts with the best feeling.  The Christmas Cheer feeling.


One Christmas tradition my family has is we watch a very edited version of Christmas Vacation.  It's pretty and it's fun to laugh together as a family.  Another Christmas tradition we have is we go to Salt Lake City and eat dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory and then of course go and see the Temple Square lights.  It's always such a fun adventure to go with my family.  It's also cool to see the temple and all the nativities.  

I love December and all the fun things I get to do with my family.  Happy December! :)

Simple Joys in Life

So today I was a little grumpy for no reason at all but I knew that I wanted to be happy because I can choose to be and it always feels better.  I started to look for everything, even the littlest things, to enjoy.  First at lunch I was able to have a good conversation about basketball and boys with one of my good friends.  Then I had dance, which happened to be the best dance day ever.  We got into little groups to make up our own Christmas dance.  Oh the things we come up with.  I'm telling you those dances were probably some of the funniest things of my life.  Next I was able to go to my grandma's house because my mom was having a party at our house.  The best part at grandma's was eating cookies 'n cream ice cream with my grandma.  Mmmm I love ice cream!  Then I went babysitting for a little bit and it was so cute to see the little boy I was babysitting, looking out the window waiting for me.  Then when I came home from babysitting I walk to my door and sitting on the doorstep is a box of chocolates from our neighbors.  Oh what would life be like without chocolate?  Then I walk inside and I look into our fridge to find strawberry Yoplait yogurt, which happens to be my favorite.  We don't get it that often so it was joyful to eat some.  Yummy.  These are little, simple things but they made my day all the better.  May we live life enjoying the simple things in it.

Oh Wonderboy!

Well I have found a hero...his name is Hercules.  Let's face it, I'm obsessed.  I just completely love the Disney movie Hercules.  First, he is so HAWT and so nice.  Second he is a true hero.  Zeus even said so.  I also just love Meg.  She sooo deserves Hercules.  I love her sweet and sexy personality.  I also just love that show because it makes me feel all twitterpaited and that is THE BEST feeling ever!  Oh and lets not forget the amazing music.  I just wish I could sing like a black lady every time I watch it.  I still sing along anyway even if I don't sound the best.  And overall it just has a great lesson and moral to complete the fabulous movie.  So if you haven't seen Hercules, please do.  I don't think your life will be complete without it. ;)

Hercules!!!

"Name's Megera, my friends call me Meg, at least they would if I had any friends."

Speak of the devil.  Hades.

"We are the Muses.  Goddesses of the arts and 
pro-claimers of heros."

"Thanks Herc, it's been a real slice."

Laugh Out Loud

So I great discovery I have made is that I should laugh when I can.  Laughing just makes me feel so much better.  Especially when I'm laughing with my friends.  Sometimes I laugh at myself and sometimes I laugh with someone or at someone or just something.  To me laughing is just great.  When I'm feeling down and something just cracks me up, I just have to laugh and wow I feel so much better.  Laughing can just brighten up my day.  Ok so a lot of times I'm a wierdo and embarrassing things can happen, but I just have to learn to laugh about it because it happens a lot.  It just works out better to laugh.  I also love it when someone is funny and I just laugh and laugh.  I've also heard that laughing makes you live longer.  I will probably be living for quite some time then.  So I will remember to laugh everyday because everyday needs a little bit of happiness. ;)

It's Christmas Time

This week has been pretty crazy.  I went to Temple Square to see the lights, two dance performances (At Festival of the Trees and BYU Christmas Party), I got my mechanical baby this weekend, we got our Christmas tree and started decorating the house, and went shopping.  It all has been so fun and exiting.  It is fun to do these things every year.  This year has been especially interesting with my mechanical baby too. ;)

Oh Christmas tree

Me all decked out with Kirsti

Even though it's been busy it always has been good for me to be reminded the true meaning of Christmas, to remember Christ and him coming to earth and it is the season of giving because Christ was the ultimate gift.  So this season remember and serve others because it's Christmas time. :)
