Day #7 I am thankful for my home.

Day #7 I am thankful for my home.

While I was cleaning up last night, I was thinking to myself how thankful I am to have a home. Although its stressful maintaining things like the lawn and all that, I couldn't be happier with where I am right now. Before we lived in our house, we lived in a single wide trailer in East Layton. Although I am really happy for what we had, being in that place was way too small, especially with Titan. Decorating the house is so much fun! Crafts are what I love to do, so being able to decorate my house the way I want to so especially fun. :)

Day #5 I am thankful for the church.

Its already November 5th so I am on the 5th day of the "I am thankful" blog posts.
Today I am thankful for my church.


I am LDS and I can not be more thankful to be part of this church. I have not always been active in the church, but recently I have had a change of heart. The feeling I get from being spiritual is amazing. I can not wait to get the opportunity to go to the temple and be sealed for eternity. The comfort I get knowing that I can be with my family for eternity is really special to me. This life is just the beginning to something so much more. I can't wait to see what my life and after life has in store for my family and myself. The church gives me such a great feeling. I know that this is the true church and I can not be more grateful to be put on this earth at this time. I know that I have overcome a lot of obstacles in my life which gives me the courage to know that I can do anything. I know that President Monson is a true Prophet, and I couldn't be happier to be a part of such a wonderful church. :)

Day #4 I am thankful for my Titan Boy

Day #4
I am thankful for...yes...my dog Titan.

I know most people are thinking, uh, your dog? But I truly AM thankful for him. Even though he is just a dog, he brings me so much joy and I learn so much about being responsible and caring for something that can not really communicate with me.
  Tyler and I decided to get Titan about 2 1/2 years ago when we first got married and Tyler was working nights. We were living in East Layton in a Trailer Park..Yes we had a great dane in a single wide trailer..lol. i Didn't want to be home alone in the ghetto trailer park so we decided that we needed a guard dog!

This was the first picture ever of Titan boy. I sent this to tyler showing him the puppy we were going to keep! :)

Titan was born on May 17th 2008! That would make him just about 2 and a half right now and he weighs 200 pounds and stands taller than Tyler who is 6'1! He is the most loving and gentle giant. He brings so much joy to Tyler and I, he is like our child.
   I have never really had a dog that was MY OWN. So I was excited to be able to have a pet that loved me. When Titan was 8 weeks we took him to Don's Pet are for puppy class. I honestly recommend them for anyone who has a puppy. They do so many things for them. Titan knows how to sit, stay, speak, shake, leave it, stay, lay down, and walk great on and off a leash. It was only $100! Definitely worth it!

   Although he drools, burps, has horrible gas and bad breath, we love him with all we have and couldn't be happier with him. He is so much fun and has the cutest personality, and is very smart. I love him so much and I am very thankful that he is in our lives. :)
 Here are some cute pictures of our Titan Guy :)

 I love looking at pictures :)

DEATH TO MAZDA 3'S!

I can feel a RANT coming on...

I don't know what it is but when I drive, I encounter THE stupidest, most idiotic drivers in the state of Utah. Not only do I come across dumb drivers, but I also come across the biggest BATCH {batch is my new word for female dog by-the-way} drivers as well. 

The ones that are on their phones and cut you off and it doesn't even phase them. 

The thing I hate the most is the stupid batches in the Mazda 3's. {Don't get me wrong, I have quite a few friends that drive them, and they are really cute, but there are just WAY TOO many of them}  

THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! Seriously next time you are driving, pay attention to how many Mazda 3's you see. 

When I was driving a span of 5 or 6 miles, I SAW 16, I repeat SIXTEEN!! 

Holy crap.

{Sorry if this offends my friends who drive Mazda 3's, I am not talking about you at all, just the other 9 billion girls that drive them} 

The girls that drive the dreaded Mazda 3 are usually the batch girls. You know, the girls that think their time is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than yours. The girls that their "DADDIES" bought their car. The "LIKE OH MY GOSH, NO YOU D'INT", 

''Let's look in the mirror 24-7",  

"OMG Like LOOK at this super cute Roxy sticker I just put in my window, just so everyone driving will KNOW that I am a GIRL" kind of girl.

The "Like OMG 'let's stick our hands out the window and admire our freshly slapped on flared gel nails {that look like shovels} just so everyone can know that I, in fact, am THE copy+paste, cookie cutter, CLONE of every girl that drives a MAZDA 3!"

{Just so everyone knows not everyone suffers from  MAZDA 3 syndrome. (My friends don't :)}

Sorry for that RANT post..I am just so sick of getting skuzzed off my stupid girls in MAZDA 3'S. 

Day #3 I am thankful for my friends.

Day #3

I am thankful for my friends!

    I really don't have many CLOSE friends. In fact, I think I only have 2 close close friends, a few close friends, but I have a lot of just friends. No matter the "type" of friend, I am thankful for every one of them. 

        My close close friends are like my sisters and have been with me through thick and thin and I owe a lot to them for sticking with me through all these years. We have had a lot of good times, and have just about a million inside jokes. But whether we are way close now, or not, no time frame can replace the great memories that I have with these people. Whether its, running from the cops and getting stuck in a boat, window tapping and being LITERALLY chased for an hour, B&E-ing into an ex's house only to be greeted by raging dogs, stealing 4-wheelers and pushing them through the neighbors yard only to run over their leg as we start driving them on the street at 1am, going to midgetville and blasting the oompa loompa song, recording how stupid you are while home alone only to end up in the ER, dying our hair with koolaid and it NOT COMING OUT, sitting on a couch for FOREVER, cliff jumping at Causey when we shouldn't have been, road trips with scary masks, almost being killed in cannibal town by a driver with road rage who didn't like how you threw a bottle of juice at their truck as we were going 80 on the freeway, throwing water balloons at cops only to be CHASED BY THE COP, awesome trips to Lake Powell with the "wave babes", Secrets that you haven't talked about SINCE the Powell trip, Pasta-ing someones lawn and breaking a chair while trying to get away, late night walks that consisted of putting soap in ponds and seeing your neighbor flip her hair around practically naked while standing right in front of a window with the light on, and stealing the rental car lol. We had some crazy times, but even though some came with trouble, I wouldn't change a thing!

           As friends come and go, I can not be thankful enough for each and every one of the people I am friends with. Take facebook for example, I have over 450 friends. (not that that matters or anything) But I can truly say that they are my friends. No matter if I have talked to someone the recent day or 12 years ago, they are always saying good things, commenting on my horrible day, laughing at my stupidity, or giving me advice when I need it. Friends should never be taken for granted, and with that said, I am very thankful for the friends that I have in my life. Close close friend or just friend. 

Day #2. I am thankful for my family

Day #2
I am thankful for my family.

As many of you know, I come from a GINORMOUS family. My family not only consists of full siblings, but half, step, and in-laws as well, along with both parents, their spouses and my in-laws.. But I don't classify them as anything but my brothers, sisters, and parents.. :) My family is probably the second most important things to me, only second because of Tyler, but Tyler is my family so I guess you can say that family is THE most important thing to me. I can't express the gratitude that I have for my family. They are so supportive in everything that I have done, or will ever do. We are very protective of one another and would do anything for every one of us.
    The brothers and sisters in my family have a strange bond. We just click with one another. We could sit for hours and hours talking about the numerous things we have done, and things that we want and will do. I am really happy to say that my family consists of some of the best friends I could ask for. Thanks for being so supportive and loving! I love you guys! :)

I am thankful. Day #1

(I really did write this yesterday, I just didn't have time to post it :))      
    I was inspired by a friend of mine, Mia, to do this "I am thankful" section of my blog. (Thanks Mia!!) In these times, it's really easy to forget that a lot of people don't have what we do, and in return we should be thankful for what we have. I decided to write a blog every day about something that I am thankful for, all the way till Thanksgiving day. This year Thanksgiving is on the 25th, so I get to share with you, 25 things that I am thankful for.

Day #1

I am thankful for my Husband. 

Tyler and I in Yellowstonein 07 I believe

I really never stop thinking about how thankful I am to have a husband like mine. Tyler and I have been "together" for a week shy of 6 years today. We started dating November 8th 2004, when we were juniors in high school, and have been inseparable ever since. Tyler is my best friend, my rock, and my soul mate. He is so wonderful. He treats me like a princess every day, and I could not love him more. I am not shy to say that I am a brat at times, and I would probably smack myself at times if I could see how I act, but Tyler always finds a way to calm me down when I am upset, crying, or just plain freaking out. He has such tolerance for me, which could be hard at times. I could not be happier where we are in our marriage, and we grow closer every day. We both can't wait for the day we can be sealed in the temple for eternity. Eternity is a long time, and I couldn't be happier to spend it with Tyler. :)

PS: Ty is leaving tomorrow to go hunting for a week. :( SAD. Hopefully he gets an elk!AND Today is my little brother TALON's birthday! He is 12! I can't believe how grown up my brothers and sisters are getting. WEIRD! Happy Birthday Tally! Love you!
