Something I want to buy.
Books! Always books. Especially now, I've told myself that I have to start taking advantage of the library-because I'm saving myself money that way. But there's something about having my own book that a rented one can't replicate. So I've made myself a deal, if I get the book from the library first and I truly love it (as in, can't live without it) then I'll allow myself to buy it from the book store after I've tried to find it cheaper online.
It's just as well I'm good at bargaining with myself.

Day Four...
10 Pet Peeves
1-Stupid Drivers. Seriously though, I think there should be a mandatory stupidity test that everyone has to pass before they're allowed on the roads. Some people astound me.
2-People With Big LOUD Opinions. We're all entitled to them, however, there's a time and a place and an audience that we should share them with. Not at the I Hop while you're having pancakes.
3-Guys Wearing Girl Pants. Girl pants are made for girls. Guys, you have your very own section to shop in. Use it.
4-Feminists. Men and women are different, anatomically, emotionally and personality wise. We do not need to be 100% equal, that doesn't mean that women should have to play Suzie homemaker, however I enjoy getting my oil changed for discount prices because I'm a lady.
5-Reality TV Stars. They shouldn't be famous. They haven't done anything.
6-News Media. There's so many slants, aiming so many different directions, you're never getting the up and up.
7-The "Hit It And Quit It" Type of Guys. They give all other guys a bad name and they're just jerks.
8-College Degree Required. I hate that I have to go to years of school and pay a small fortune just to be considered for jobs. I like the apprenticeship idea. Let's go back to that.
9-Semi Haters. Seriously, lay off the big guys. They can't gain the speed as quickly as us little guys can. They have blind spots. We know these things, so don't get so upset and be dumb around them!! They're hauling 80,000 pounds of stuff, so no, they can't stop as fast as you when you zip in front of them.
10-"Album Only" Songs on Itunes. Really, you can't just let us buy the damn song?!

Day Four...
Something I crave...
VaRieTY!!
I cannot begin to describe how it goes in my head, but it's a constant search for new adventures, thoughts, people, ideas, places, anything.
Nothing is worse than the mundane.
No one should live it a "going through the motions" life.
That's not living.
Experience your life.
Day Three...
Favorite Picture
Ok, so it's definitely my favorite picture for now. My favorite picture is changing all of the time. But seriously, who wouldn't want to shimmy at this shin dig?!

Day Two...
Changes Within A Year
As I was looking through pictures from last year, I found this one that was posted almost to the day a year ago. It seems fitting that two of my bff's are in the picture with me and so is Brynleigh, Lindsay and Justin's beautiful baby. These guys have been a huge part of my last year and so it was also fitting that I found this super cute picture for this year...
(Too bad Jade's not in it too.)
First of all, for changes in a year just look at Bryn now! So big! Haha as far as changes for me go, here it is.
This time last year I had just moved home from St. George. Now I'm happily living in Bountiful.
Then I was all mixed up trying to create a plan because I didn't want to go on a mission anymore. Now I don't affiliate with any church (a year gives you lots of time to think and ponder).
Then I was debating school and decided not to go. Now I'm enrolled full time.
Then I was working at Zions Bank in peak time. Now I'm working at Zions bank at the Centerville branch.
Then I had two dogs. Now I have two dogs and a cat.
Then I had lots of friends. Now I have a few very close friends.
Then I was addicted to Gossip Girl. Now I'm addicted to Parenthood.
Then my siblings and I liked each other. Now we're best friends.
Mostly what I think of as I look back on this last year is how much I've grown as a person. I'm more confident in my skin that I've ever been before. I've asked more questions this year, and looked to myself more for the answers than I ever have, and it's led me in directions that I never would have dreamed, but it feels like it's exactly where I'm supposed to be. I've actively tried to become more balanced and more in tune with my spirit. It's been a totally personal, completely transforming year and I wouldn't change a thing!
