Thankfulification {Day 4}

The Temple I Grew up Around: Yesterday I went to the Logan temple with my roommate. I was really excited to go since 1) I have never been to the Logan Temple and 2) I had been meaning to go(just like I still need to go to the bank) and never had a ride or the time to do so. My only free time is one and a half hours in the middle of each day, which never feels like enough. I was very grateful for Ashley and that she makes the effort to attend as regularly as possible and that she was willing to go at a time that was convenient for me.

I should have had the same feelings in every temple, but the Logan temple just wasn't Idaho Falls and I felt homesick. Such an odd feeling to have. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for the Logan temple and I still felt great going, but I really truly miss this one:

And of course this one

Price of Invulnerability

It's kinda long but it is really interesting and good.


Thankfulification {day3}

The other day one of my roommates moved out. She took with her the only decorations on the walls in our living room (a transformer poster and about six small black and white photos) and the little entertainment "center". One of my other roommates decided that we needed decorations, I agreed. So she cut up her calendar of flowers and went to work all evening and went to DI to get an entertainment center only to come back with pictures and then head back to get the one we decided on that was already gone within the ten minutes she was home. In the end, we rearranged the living room and decided to wait for an entertainment center that we will love so we can paint it bright colors.

So what am I thankful for today? So many many things, but CAMERAS are going to be featured.

You see I don't have one. I wish I did, but I don't. There's so many things at school that I would love to take pictures of, whether it's doing stuff with roommates, going to events, walking along Old Main Hill and seeing the temple wrapped in brightly colored leaves, or the butterflies flying in the flowers in front of Old Main.

But for those people who have one I am very grateful. There is only one in existence in our apartment right now. Only one person owns one.

But we our apartment is benefited by cameras because of the pictures of flowers that we are using as decoration. We are surrounded by beautiful things and nature is able to come inside because of cameras.

I can travel to places I've never been and travel back in time...... travel to places I have been and have all the thoughts and feelings return as a result of looking at photos.

....and see everyone in my family while I'm away (I really think it's time for a new good family photo)

Thankfulification {Day2}

:Oatmeal: Something this morning I was incredibly grateful for. I actually have been grateful for it for a couple months now. It's soooooo soooo delicious and I find myself craving it all the time.

It's quick and easy, all you have to do is add hot water and you have a nice hot breakfast at work.
So so delicious and comforting


Again, quick and easy all you have to do is grab one. Add some carrots a yogurt and a cheese stick and you have easy quick lunch.

Plus, look at all that delicious goodness that is mainly made up of oatmeal butter and sugar. So many fabulous salivating foods that oatmeal consists of. I adore it! And am oh-so thankful for it.


P.S. Does someone want to make those oatmeal sandwiches for me?

Thankfulification, Or Simply Thankful

Halloween is over and it was great! Dressing up as Medusa was fabulous, but getting the costume together was stressful and somewhat last minute. For the last three years I have had an idea of who I want to dress up as but I never make the costume early enough, this next year I am making it in the summer so that I will actually be it. Anyway here are some peeks at my costume this year. The party I went to with a cavewoman and the PaperBagPrincess




My Other Roommates(aka Neighbors) and their friends. They all went to the Howl.


My lovely "Doll" of a Roommate. Funny story behind her costume :)



Us three grils again.


That was my Halloween! Hope your's was great as well. Since Halloween is over my Halloweenification processes are over as well (If you hadn't noticed I kept that going for a long time. ;) ) It is now November, time for cleaning up the cobwebs and spiders and making houses lovely for families to gather.


I'm starting a new thing now. Thankfulnification. No I won't be stealing facebook photos to make people look thankful(because I don't think it works that way) but I will be thankful this month. Everyday there is more than thousands of hundreds of things that I could be thankful for and decide to blog about, however, I will probably only have one or two each day because I will actually have the time to do that.

Here's the beginning of Thankfulnification


Day One: Harry Potter

Not what most people would be thankful for on their first day of Thankfulnification huh? Well it is what it is. Who knows how many obscure and random things I will be grateful for through each day.

If you haven't noticed I LOVE Harry Potter. Ever since I read the books in third grade. My best friends became even closer as I read the books and I've had sooooo many good times as a result.




Not to mention this guy was at a party I went to on Halloween. I wasn't creeped out at first because he had a snake wrapped around his wrist! I thought he was so cool. But then old Voldy started to grow on me and I didn't really like his costume so much anymore. I didn't ever really think that Voldemort was that scary of a villain, at least in the movies. But when you have someone dress up like Voldemort and be in the same room it starts to get creepy. Even Medusa couldn't handle it.

Halloweenify {Day 2}

Once I began to edit wedding pictures I felt really bad. Weddings are such happy days and they suddenly turned into a horrifying and creepy experience. Then I found this picture. Vampires can be happy right.

Thanks Heather!
