Starting fires and other such fun.

This week I accidentally started a fire at work. The worst part about it? It was a toaster oven fire. Yes, you know the stupid ones that everyone (including The Office) has made fun of, because you really have to be doing something stupid to start it. This fire was not an exception to that rule.

At my current place of work, when we have one of our clients dogs die, we imprint their paws in clay. It's a nice way to remember them. Well, once we imprint the paw, we cook them in a toaster oven and send them to the client. Friday morning, I was cooking a clay paw print, like I usually do. The only problem was I forgot to double check all the settings. I guess someone had changed the heat setting from 350 degrees to 500 degrees. I sat it in the oven, turned the timer on and continued on with my work, as per usual. One of my coworkers happened to walk by it about 10 minutes later, and found the whole thing in flames! Needless to say, the section the oven was in was filled with smoke, and we had to vent the area. No one was hurt and nothing but the toaster oven was damaged. But I can tell you it was very embarrassing. Especially since most everyone in the building heard about it, and knew it was me

Lesson learned. ALWAYS CHECK ALL THE SETTINGS!!

Anyway... lets see what else is on my mind?! Hmmm... I leave for Utah again in 2 days! I am sooo excited for this trip! I get to see my family, go to my Best friends wedding, as well as meet my cousins new baby! I cant wait!
I also think I have officially got over all my boys I needed to get over! ( YAY ME!!) I now need a new crush though. I definitely think crushes are fun, and exciting and life can be kind of boring when you have no crushes! I am not too concerned about finding one too fast though, it's kind of nice not having any boy stress! :D I think I am climbing out of my rut, and I am excited to see what happens now!

I have decided to go fully organic in my eating. It's taking a while to switch over, but I am hoping in a few more weeks, I will no longer have any "junk food" in my house! I have noticed a huge difference in myself with just the little changes I have made so far. Life right now is full of endless possibilities and it just keeps getting better! :D

Well, that's all I have to say right now, as I still need to get to the gym and workout. :D

From my mind to yours!

My happiness blog.

So, I have had it brought to my attention that my last post was a depressing post. My goal for this post is to be 100 percent happy. So I am going to go through some things I am grateful for.

1. I am grateful for a Mom, Dad, brothers and sisters who love me unconditionally.

2. I am grateful to have a close relationship to my extended family, and that they love and support me through thick and thin.

3. I am grateful, and lucky to have THE best friends in the whole world. I am especially grateful that they will put up with my craziness, in all it's forms. :)

4. I am very lucky and grateful for a good job. Not only is it a great job, but I also have great coworkers who keep me laughing all day.

5. I am grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

6. I am grateful to be in the best YSA branch anyone could ask for.

7. I am grateful that it is Friday, and that I survived this week.

8. I am grateful for my home teachers, their awesome lessons and their crazy need/want to serve me. ;)

9. I am grateful for the random things that happen with friends and coworkers, that manage to always put a smile on my face. No matter what kind of day I am having.

10. ( Don't hate!) I am grateful for Zumba! I am especially grateful to Allison for teaching me of the love of Zumba, and to Lisa for my current love.

11. I am grateful for both answered and unanswered prayers.

12. I am grateful for all the life lessons and experiences I have had in just this year. :)

There is many, many more, but that is all I am going to put for a variety of reasons. :)

That's all for now.

Live life and learn

Have you ever had one of those dreams where someone was chasing you and you were running as fast as you could, but no matter how hard you tried, or how much energy you exerted, you stayed in the same place? All you could do was panic and try. That is exactly how I feel right now in life. I want to move forward, and I am trying to move forward, but no matter how hard I try I don't move.
I have been looking into my life to see if maybe I can figure out why I am stalling so bad. I have found there are a few things that may be some of it.

One- I need to get over a certain boy. Ok, maybe more than just one boy, I have a few to get over. I have also decided that boys are the root of all evil. A lot of my problems seem to come from them...

Two- I really need to learn patience. I have always had a short fuse, and I swear Heavenly Father wants me to learn this very well before I can get out of this rut, or find myself another guy.

Three- Faith. I am way to stubborn to rely on anyone else for anything. I need to learn how to have more faith, and rely on the lord for guidance. I also need to lean on my friends a little more.

Well, there are more than those 3 but that is all I am sharing. Basically I have a lot of hard work ahead of me. :D It's not going to be easy, but I do know it will be worth it.

Well thats all my thoughts for now.
