I got a good job, I work hard for my money

Lyrics from the song I'm currently listening to, "Boot Scootin Boogie".

Anyway, yesterday was a fantastic day!  Chris got home from his mission:

It was awesome to be at the airport with his family and the Whatcotts for the excitement!  We went back to his house afterwards, and for a few hours, Chris just told us all about his mission.  I look forward to hanging out with one of my best buds over the next 33 days before I head out!  I get first date with him as an RM ;)

Yesterday was also kind of a wake-up call.  Since I got my mission call, I've had lots of things happen that I knew would happen.  John came home.  I went to Utah.  Temple.  Thanksgiving.  birthday.  Tiff and Sky came for Christmas.  Everyone left for school.  Chris got home. Now...the next big thing, literally, is me leaving.  I realized just how fast this next month is going to fly by.  Chris is home; this is something I've been looking forward to for (literally, 2 years) a long time...and now that's happened, and wow.  Time is flying by.  3 1/2 months ago, I got my mission call, and I thought it would be eternity before I'd be leaving, but now it's creeping up on me.  My lists of things to do are shrinking, my post-it wall is diminishing as I finish things, and I am taking care of a lot of things to get things in order.

On that note, I need to go finish my proposal for a paper for my English class.  I need to turn it in like 2 weeks ago, aka tomorrow, so I gotta get that done.  And I can't do it tonight unless I pull an all-nighter, because I have to work til 11:30.  Fun fun fun!  And it's snowing, so that's pretty awesome :)

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....

"What do you want for Christmas?"

This question is asked countless times during this Christmas season, and is one that has recently been asked of me a few times.  Since my birthday was recent, I heard a few times "what do you want for your birthday?" too.  And it has left me thoughtful... Here, I could talk about how we need to forget the materialism of Christmas and focus on the real meaning, how it isn't about getting but it's about giving, about how we need to love each other more...basically, I could give you any kind of canned, stereotypical answer in response to this subject, but these are not the thoughts I've had! My thoughts have been simple, and I always give the same answer: "I don't want anything".  And then people would push me into saying something, but I literally couldn't (and still can't) come up with anything I need, or even want.  What does that mean?  Life is great. :)  It means that I am satisfied with my life right now...yeah, I've still got questi...
