I will try to be better.  No promises people.

So, my bestest girlfriend challenged me to do "100 days of happiness".  She knows that sometimes I get a little negative, so the goal is to share pictures of things that make me happy and keep me positive.  Here are the first 9 days.

Day 1: On New Years Eve, Lauren wrote her FULL name on a paper and stuck it on her cup.  Little brother copies big sister and attempted to write his FULL name too.  He sounded it out.  Seriously, I was almost near tears.

Day 2.  My cat Oreo.  This cat makes me so happy.  I couldn't imagine my life without a cat.  She loves to snuggle and play and is pretty mellow.  She puts up with a lot of torture.  She always kind of looks "stuck up" and "snobby" though.

 Day 3.  Discover Card.  Both the Card and the Employer.  SOO much good in my life has come from there.

Day 4.  Lauren took a Mini-Cheer clinic from the High School she is going to attend.  We also got to enjoy a bit of the boys' basketball game.  It was much more enjoyable than I thought it was gonna be.

Day 5.  A collection of Utah pictures stolen from friends.  I LOVE living in Utah.  I LOVE the mountains.  It really is such a beautiful place, my forever home. 

Day 6.  I love to read....even though I don't get a lot of time to read.  Mainly because I screw around on my phone way too much.  I have a serious Candy Crush addiction, sigh.

Day 7.  Best candy EVER.  Especially the yummy white ones!!

 Day 8.  During our "Christmas Break Cleaning Cleanse", I found my old camera...and threw it away, not before I got the last set of pics developed...I had no idea what I would find.  I found out that my kids have gotten way too big, way too fast.

Day 9.  I found out that Lauren needed glasses, I was just SURE she was being overdramatic.  She insisted  otherwise.  We made her wear fake glasses for a week to show her that it really wasn't all that much fun.  I also told her that if she didn't need glasses, I would make her pay for her exam.  Guess who was wrong?  ME!  I guess I was just hoping that she wouldn't get my bad eyes along with my bad teeth.  Nope.  She has 80/20 vision...a negative 1.  I am a negative 4.  I can't wait to see her face when she can see the world, I remember the day I got my glasses and a whole new world was unveiled to me.  Lookin' on the bright side, right?

Well, there ya go..first post of 2014.
