great ideas from Anna

My friend Anna does a "Things I love, Thursday" where she writes on her blog every Thursday the things that she is thankful for at that moment. So, because this is such a good idea and I love stealing other people's great ideas, I am going to do something like this.

Today I am thankful for:

1. Frosted Flakes


They're Grrrrrreat! I love to snack on these. No milk, just cereal. Yum.

2. Supernatural


I used to be really into this show when I was in high school and like the first year of college, but I stopped watching after a while. I love these boys. Plus, it is super interesting to see how they interpret the heaven and hell relationship. If only they had the gospel, they would know that Hell never wins, but then I guess there wouldn't be a show. Because I am in Wichita at my parent's house and spend most of the day by myself, I have been watching Supernatural every morning. Now I am hooked again.

3. Joey


Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen? After Dan left this morning for work, she came in and took his place in the bed. I love my little cuddler.

4. Cotton shirts


Yes, this is the shirt I am wearing today. It is so comfortable and soft. Love.

sweet sensations

today I decided not to spend my whole day on the couch watching TV, so I went to Sonic and got a cheeseburger (Yum) and then went to the grocery store and got some things. Seriously, how does my dad not starve to death without my mom or me around? After that I headed over to Target for some things and now I am watching TV on the couch.

My favorite things today:
blueberry bagels and cream cheese
ginger ale
Gilmore Girls


Hope your day has been as eventful as mine. ;)

p.s. did my title get your attention?

And counting

12 days until Tommy and Chelsea's open house and dance party!
13 days in Wichita having fun with Cable, Joey, and Mom and Dad.
14 days until we fly to Utah and spend a week at the cabin with Dan's family!!!

It's good to have exciting things to look forward to, otherwise I think I would die of boredom. I have applied to every place I can possibly think of, and yet still nothing. Please, for the sake of my sanity, someone hire me.

In other news, about a week and half ago I started feeling really sick. I'm tired all the time and just not feeling great. It kind of feels like mono all over again, but I'm not sure how I could possibly have gotten mono from doing nothing, but whatever. Hopefully this goes away soon.

Sorry about this random post of rants, but like I said, I am a little bored.

These are a few of my favorite things

Meet The Lemon. She is precious to me. Her and I have bonded a lot over this summer because I am really the only one who drives her. Today, I was driving home with all the windows down, because our AC is still out of commission,when the old song "Good Vibrations" came on. You know the one I'm talking about. Classic. So naturally, I turn the music way up and rock out to it in my car. Those are the moments I love the most. Oh, Lemon. How I adore you and the happiness you bring me.


Meet Kasie Fry. She lives in Utah now, but she used to be my roommate for a good portion of my college career and is my very best friend. She is coming to Kansas next month and I couldn't be more excited to see her! This also brings me much joy and happiness.


Meet 10am. This is the time that I like to get up in the morning. Much rejoicing.





Meet Judy and Ray. They are my bosses until tomorrow, when sadly, I have to leave and enter the real world and get a grown up job. Sad. They are two of the sweetest people I have ever known and I got to work there at the best job a student could have.


Meet this guy. He is my happiness.

joining the ranks

Our good friends, Tommy and Chelsea, joined the elite married group this month. We couldn't be happier for them, especially since this directly benefits us. :) New married friends to go on dates with! Yay!
Congratulations you two. We love you.

Lately...

--I went on a road trip with my parents to see some historical church sites
--I have been trying to dress more like a grown-up
--I have been applying for jobs like a mad-man, hence the dressing up
--I've been babysitting and helping where I can
--The apartment has stayed clean
--I have been going to bed alone. :( Poor Dan.

After this rotation is over, Dan has two weeks where he is supposed to do an internship somewhere, and he is trying to get one in Wichita. So, if everything pans out the way it should, we could be living in Wichita with my parents for two weeks. It's a win-win-win situation. I won't be as bored because I will have things to do and people to see, we won't have to rent a place, Dan will get experience, and my dad won't be alone while my Mom is in Europe. Pretty awesome.

Lonely, Mr. Lonely

The last two days have been a whirlwind. Dan didn't get home yesterday until 10:30pm and then got called to go back in as soon as we went to sleep around midnight. Poor guy. So, he got home around 4:30 this morning only to have to turn around and go back at 7am. This poor man didn't return home until almost 1pm after that. I have been such a wreck because of it. I am not trying to be self-pitying, because honestly he's the one we should all feel sorry for, but I hate not knowing where he is and when he'll be home. I worry about him a lot... it's a problem. Needless to say, poor Dan is exhausted and took a monster nap this afternoon. He is currently back at the Vet school doing...something... but hopefully he will come back soon.

On top of that, I am leaving tomorrow to go on a church sites road trip with my parents! Yay! It is going to be so much fun, I just wish Dan could come. He has barely been able to see me all week, is completely exhausted, and now his wife is leaving him for a week. I wish there was something I could do to help him. I am constantly feeling so useless and helpless because he is going through all of this and there's nothing I can do. Any suggestions? Sorry about this post, but I just needed to rant a little because I am crazy concerned for my dear Hubby.
