My Favorite Thing!

Oh goodness....I swear everyday I love sheep a little more!  "Pinterest" has taken things to a whole new place...they have new pictures of sheep...daily.  If I see a picture I like....I sit here (silently clicking away) and save it.   If it's a picture of a sheep that i really enjoy I squeal and smile!  I found one today, that made me want one more than ever!
Dave might benefit from me having sheep, cuz I can name them whatever I want and our children won't have names their Dad hates!  I already have a few....Greta, Snowpea, Sugar....I will let my imagination go wild one day, and write them all down!
My Favorite Sheeps:

I almost died when I saw this!

I would like to find this little one, and take it home!

NO MORE New Year Resolutions!!

At church last week, I was taking notes for the sermon on my ipod (I swear older people think I'm texting!) and I looked at the very first "note" and it was the new year resolutions I made from last year.  And I didn't follow through with ANY of them....not even a little.  So this year I'm not making any!  I'm thinking ill make fun ones, ones that i will enjoy doing everyday. 
i thought today, about getting a really nice journal, and making ALL my "new year resolutions" things about writing.  for example....write one thing a day that brought me simple joy....write one thing a day that I appreciated about my life.  Things like that....I want to really enjoy the time I'm in now with Dave. 

What I would write today : The house across the street from us, every single day, has a car with the trunk open (I think its a Subaru type vehicle) and a golden retriever dog laying in the back with a little ramp for it to get down.

I really try and keep my mind open to the simple joys in life.  and i think recording all of them once a day will make me look even closer at the little things!

The LOVELY Bracelet Mand made for me!

My favorite tomato soup=baby food...

So this week i had 2 Dentist appt. 3 hours each!  I have fillings in the front top 6 teeth, they figured I'd need 6 root canals....but I only needed 1!  My ma and I have figured that it is only God that is carrying me through this.  On my very first appt. they asked me if I had any pain (after seeing all the decay/cavities/inflamed gums/holes and gaps) and I didn't, which kinda shocked them.  And we figured it must be God taking away the pain for me.  But anyways, after my appt. on Wednesday i had to be real careful about what I ate, cuz they built up a very cracked tooth so it was very sensitive.  I decided to have some Campbell's tomato soup for dinner that night.  i broke about a million crackers in my soup, so it became all mushy and soft (like how a baby would eat it).  And Dave looked at me like I was insane, and I realized I have some very odd eating habits.  Ive eaten my tomato soup like that ever since I was little. In my kitchen I have a million cups, but i only use 2 for my Pepsi.  The other ones just aren't the same!  With lucky charms (I haven't had any for ages) i have to leave all of the marshmallows for last.  With cupcakes, I have to take the top off with the icing, and eat the bottom, and then eat the iced top (Hannah does the same thing).  I'm also weird with my dishes too, there are these little bowls I have and those are the only ones Ill use.  I bought a set, but the large plates are massive so I always use the little ones.  And I swear any food tastes better on my daffodil plate (my Ma got that for me, many years ago, and saved it for me for when I moved out). 
Oh and I ALWAYS have to have a straw to drink my Pepsi out of (and I rarely drink it straight out of the can).  So basically if you ever have me over for some Campbell's tomato soup, make sure you have a ton of crackers!

A little side note....I'm not sure if I mentioned this in my Christmas blog, but I was out shopping for Dave's stocking stuffers, I bought a few for myself too!  I am obsessed with Russian dolls, and at winners they had these adorable measuring spoons that all go into each other with little dolls on them.....so I though that was a perfect stocking stuffer for myself.  So I wrapped up all Dave's and then wrapped up mine, and I wrote on mine To the best cook ever!  Haha!

Christmas!!

Dave went out and got us a pine Christmas Tree on Saturday, with my Dad and Amanda.  Dave looked hard for the perfect one, I would have gone with them but I had to work all day.  So after work I came home to a decorated house!  Dave had some branches hanging on some nails on the walls, and he hung up our stockings, and set the tree up!  My most favorite kind of tree is Birch trees (they remind me of grandma and grandpa's house) so he found a big birch branch for me.  It was really cute that he put so much thought into things.  We decorated the tree on Sunday, and I set up my nativity set Last night.  This Christmas tree is actually the very first real one we've had.  My mom has given me an ornament every Christmas, so I have lots to put up, and I am very particular about which ones I want to put up.

My Baby ornament with a pine cone!

My Nativity set, I put the sheep right next to baby Jesus,
and yes the donkey is sitting on top of the cow.
I told Dave they aren't perverted....they are just
playing!

The lights I bought weren't very long, so me and
Manda put them around the trunk!  We
left it like that, and I really like the way it
looks!
