Day Thirty

what changed this month and what you hope will happen next month

This month I had my last day in my 1st grade class. It is sad. I have become very close to the kiddos and don't know how it will fell when I get back to school in two weeks. The nice thing about Idaho is we get to weeks off of school for potato harvest. So that brings me to next month. Next month I will start teaching Special Education and I am excited for the change.

Hoping to Adopt

Follow their blog, grab their button and help them in their adoption journey.


I have been following this families story for a very long time. They are such a sweet family and have the cutest little boy in the world. They are hoping to adopt again and they found Z through a friend. If you know anyone who is looking to place their child with an amazing family through adoption this family is hoping to find the new addition to their family. Please pass the word on to help build this family's eternal family.

I can't wait until Jacob and I are able to add to our family through the miracle of adoption. Such a blessing.

Enough Said

Day Twenty Five

ten ways to win your heart

1. Look like this man!!! Such a hottie.
2. You have to be funny, I have to have laughter in my life.
3. Being able to talk about nothing is a must. I love to talk and have someone talk back.
4. A listener, sometimes when I am struggling and feeling down it just helps to have someone to listen to.
5.Cuddling, I love to cuddle up in a blanket and watch a movie.
6. A cook, I cannot cook every meal for the rest of my life so cooking is a must.
7. Love kids as much as I do.
8. Can deal with watching HSM because I love it and it will forever be a part of my life.
9. Be an advocate of and love adoption
10. Love me. Good thing my amazing husband is amazing at all of these things.

We were really meant to be.

Day Twenty-Four

weird things you do when you’re alone

1. Watch shows that are not good for me

Rel World (just bad)
Real Housewives (need I say more)
16 and pregnant (emotional for me)
Teen Mom (same)

2. Never wear a bra. Who wants to, they are awful.

3. Eat ice cream straight out of the carton.

I am sure there are more but I can't think of any right now.

Day Twenty-Three

something you always think “what if..” about


What if I have cancer....
(Jacob thinks this makes me sound crazy. Cancer just scares the crap out of me)
What if we are never children....
What if I fail in this class.......


I think that is about it. If I think of more I will add to the list. However, I am so glad that I believe in prayer and the comfort my Heavenly Father gives me and so I really don't worry too much about these.

Day Twenty-Two

ten things about you people don’t really expect

1. I have 10 siblings that have given me more than 20 beautiful nieces and nephews.
2. I am 30 years old, I know it is a shock, I am a young hottie.
3. I hate chocolate cake and love chocolate ice cream.
4. I have a watermelon addiction, I could eat a whole melon in a night.
5. I have been married for almost 6 years, which is shocking here in Idaho because people have been married for 2 days here and they think it is a long time.
6. I hate nylons, they annoy me and I only wear them when I have to.
7. I will chose Pepsi over Coke any day there is so much of a difference although many do not agree with me. Pepsi just tastes much better.
8. I never wanted to be a teacher when I was younger I wanted to be a nurse, and I use to make fun of my friends who wanted to be teacher's. Now I am a teacher and they would laugh at me.
9. As of right now I am infertile. I am becoming ok with it and am excited to start the adoption process. Here in Idaho people assume by the time you have been married for 5 years you should have a child and so I get some really nasty comments from people.
10. I love having a large family and my amazing sister's being my best friends. I would do anything for them and I know they would do the same for me.

Day Twenty-One

something you can’t seem to get over

I can't seem to get over how much I love Oregon. If I could I would have no problem getting a job here in Idaho and staying here forever. However, I miss Oregon so much and every time I go there to visit I don't want to leave. Not only is it beautiful but I have the best family in the world there.

Day Twenty

the last argument you had

Last night Jacob and I had a little disagreement. Which is nothing new. However, when you love someone and are sealed t them for eternity you know the little arguments are not important in the big picture.

Day Nineteen

something that never fails to make you feel better

My amazing Husband Jacob and a nice big glass of Jamba Juice. If I am having a rough day Jacob can always make me smile. Also, like when I was a little girl and 7-up made me feel better Jamba has now taken it's place.

Day Eighteen

disrespecting parents

I feel that there is nothing worse than disrespecting your parents. Although at times you may not also like the way you are interacting with your parents they are always your parents and will always be there for you. I have the best family ever especially my parents and I would feel awful disrespecting them after all they have done for me.

Day Seventeen

things that make you scared

I am deathly afraid of roller coasters or any kind of amusement ride. I also am super scared of high things, like waterside, towers (lighthouses), etc. I like being on solid ground.

Day sixteen

three things you are proud about your personality


1. I am funny. I like to think I have a great sense of humor. I love to make people laugh and to laugh with them. Sometimes I try fail at making people laugh but no one is perfect.


2. I honestly care about everyone. I treat my best friends like sisters (it helps that my three sisters are also my best friends) and my nieces and nephews like my children. I try to be the best friend I can and an aunt the kids can look up to.

. I am sometimes to a fault. I will tell it like it is. I don't sugar coat things but I like it that way.

Day Fifteen

the best thing to happen to you this week

One of the little boys in my class said that I had beautiful eyes. I thought that it was so sweet of him.

Day Fourteen

something disgusting you do

This is really gross but I pick my scabs. It is really gross because then I get scars and it looks ridiculous. I have no idea why I do it, I just have since I was a little girl.

Day Thirteen

a date you would love to go on
This is Italy!!! Someday I would love to go here with my hubby. It would be the best date ever. We could go to a fabulous restaurant, then ride a gondola then to our fabulous hotel! :)

Day Twelve

things you want to say to an ex

I dated a few guys before Jacob but none of them were really serious and anything I experienced just made me a stronger person. I am glad nothing else worked out because I am so happy to be married to such a wonderful man.

Day Eleven

your current relationship, if single discuss how being single is





Married as you all know and he is simply amazing.

Sorry this is such a boring post.

Day Ten

your view on drugs and alcohol

After seeing how my extended family acts when they are under the influence of alcohol it makes me happy for my standards. The Lord knows what is good for us and that is why he gave us commandments. Even when I was younger and living in a town where I hung out with people that drank and smoke I was never tempted. I have wonderful parents and I was taught at a young age what was expected of me. I remember telling my 8th grade class I was never going to drink alcohol and they all laughed. I am prod I can still say that.

Day Nine

your last kiss


Too long ago. Jacob has been out of town for almost a week and he came home sick. I was not about to kiss him because the last thing I need right now is to get sick. Love him thought and can't wait until he is better.

Day Eight

something you’re currently worrying about

That we will never be able to use the brand new baby clothes that we have in our spare bedroom closet. I am hopeful that we will be able to adopt but it is always a concern.

Did I mention that most of the clothes are adorable Gymboree

Day Seven

your opinion on cheating on people


I think it is SICK
I would never cheat, it is so disrespectful

Although I was just dating him at the time, someone I cared about a lot cheated on my when I was around 20 and I will never forget it.

I am so lucky to have the husband I do because I know he will

NEVER

Cheat

I think I have said enough. I think it is disgusting and I would never cheat on Jacob.

I realize things happen and people make mistakes. That is why is I was ever cheated on I would forgive.

Day Six

the person you like and why you like them

I really really really like Jacob Moore. I kinda more than like him. I love him. Although sometimes I like him to know he is the only one I like. I can't believe we have already been married for over 5 years. Time has flown by so fast. We have been through so much and I was lucky to have him by my side. He is so good with our nieces and nephews, he loves them very much. I cannot wait to see him as a father. I know he will be amazing.

Day Five

five things that irritate you about the opposite sex/same sex.

Opposite
1. All they can talk about is sports.
2. Most of them act as if they were raised in a barn.
3. Assuming a woman's place is in the home, and assuming the dishes and cleaning is a woman's job.
4. They don't take things as seriously as woman do.
5. When they are a size 4 in the gym working out and complaining about their bodies.

Same
1. They think they are better than anyone else.
2. If they are single all they can talk about is how they want to find a man.
3. When they are married all they can talk about is their man.
4. When they walk around wearing super short shorts and sluty shirts.
5. They are always comparing.

Day Four

what you wear to bed.

This is from a sleep-over with my niece. I guess you can't really tell but I just wear a t-shirt and shorts or PJ bottoms. I am not really picky I just don't like being hot.
