Day 20: a hobby of yours

Now here I can post a lot of things:
-I love to play the piano, put love to hear others play it more :)
-I love to do crafts, although I am a better COPIER than doing original stuff
-Friends are fun, is that a hobby-hanging out with your friends?
-Couponing, yep I enjoy a good deal
-I love to try new things
-Reading is a great hobby
-Doing my nails, Wednesday nights Hubby is doing Church stuff and that just always seems to be the day I do my finger and toe nails
-Blogging is a good hobby too
-PTA I always get sucked into this one, but do enjoy it a little :)

So that is my list of Hobbies-I am sure there are more but just can't seem to think of them today.

Day 19- a talent of yours

Another hard one---I can do many things moderately well but not well enough that I would consider myself talented in that area. So after much thought I have come up with this---I am a dedicated person. I am not sure that can be categorized as a talent, but I am voting yes. When I give my word that I will do something I will do everything in my power to make sure it gets done, if not by me by someone else. It goes along well with the traits of hard work, discipline, commitment, honesty, and loyalty (well now I just sound like a boy scout!) I will say that I acquired this talent of being dedicated from watching my parents wonderful example, so the credit really goes to them:)

Day 18: my wedding

Once again--no pictures because back in the day you didn't have digital (that makes me seem really old). So I will give you some wonderful details about the day I got married.

We were married May 9, 1996, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. We were married at 11:00 a.m. and the weather was perfect. After we took pictures with family we went on a carriage ride around Salt Lake (it really made me feel like a princess). We had an open house at my in-laws house and then a reception up in Idaho the next day. We were such poor collage students that we went to Lagoon for our Honeymoon. We had strawberries dipped in chocolate, small little puff things with chicken salad in them for our reception. I love that food and if I had to do it all over again I would still pick the same stuff.

I have been married for 14 1/2 years and I am still loving it :) I have a fabulous hubby that continually shows me how much he loves me. He is an amazing man, works full time, is a student at BYU (getting his masters degree) and is in the Bishopric. He is a great father and a wonderful friend. I am so blessed to have married him!

Day 17: an art piece

This is a fun project that I just finished not long ago. Silhouettes are all the rage now (or so say they on Studio 5) and I have seen a few Blogs posting about them. There is a lady who will do a Silhouette of your child for $25...now come on! You all know that there is no way I would pay $25 for that....so.... I made the kids sit on the piano bench while I got out a piece of black paper and just cut out their profile. It only took about 10 minutes and was pretty painless for them (those are stickers with their age on them). The problem is any true artist will tell you that a project is never truly "finished" but mearly abandoned for the next project. I must be a true artist because I have taken this off the wall and re-cut parts of it at least 3 times. I finally had to tape the back closed so I wouldn't be tempted to mess with it again. Yet there are days when I look at it and want to rip it off the wall and fix it AGAIN.

Mark Schultz - He's My Son

Day 16-a song that makes you cry (or nearly)   I love this song so much and I really do almost cry everytime I hear it. I am not so sure I LOVE this video, there are some parts I could do without.  But it was the best way to show this song. Hope you enjoy! p.s. I am more then half way done with my 30 day blog journal hope you aren't too bored yet:)

Day 15: your dream house

This is a hard one for me. I try really hard not to think about a "Dream House" because it just makes me not appreciate what I have. I don't even go to the Parade of Homes because after wards I tend to dwell on all the things I WANT and don't NEED. So for todays entry you get this: In my Dream House I would like to be somewhere that I feel safe, my family is close by, and maybe a bigger bathtub!

Day 14: a non-fictional book

These last two days I kind of feel are a repeat of day 4: your favorite book.

So here is another one of my favorite books, it is more of a Self-Help book rather than a non-fictional but this is my blog and I can do what ever I want to, right! 

Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. I love to read the stories about all the people and how they have changed their lives. I would love to make a  living by helping people do their budgets and getting them out of debit. It is amazing to see the burden lifted off of their shoulders when they realize how much better their lives are with out debt. We have been living the Dave Ramsey method for years and years....go read it :)
