Love this weekend

1- I love General Conference! It is just the greatest 2 weekends in the year ever! I watched all four sessions and enjoyed every minute of it. There is just something different about that weekend that totally makes everything better. Now that it is over I feel a little sad.

2- I love the weather cooling down. It is definitely getting me in the spirit of the holidays! Hearing about all the snow back home makes me want to sit in front of a fire with hot chocolate and a heated blanket curled up watching a movie or reading a good book. Considering it is going to get up to 80 degrees here I don't think that will be happening but it is a good thought anyways!














3- I love airplanes so that I can take trips to see my family and have it only take 2 hours to get there! Hooray for modern technology!











4- I love lotion, I am obsessed with it. I have to constantly put it on because dry skin gives me that yucky feeling like nails on a chalkboard.













5- I love shoes! I have about a hundred pair of shoes but they are getting so old which means I need to go shoe shopping soon and start to throw out the breaking ones :( and as Jennifer puts it no matter how much your weight changes shoes and purses stay the same size and still fit ha ha














6- I love naps for those days where I just feel like I can't take it anymore and then just sleep for about an hour and I wake up with a whole new perspective! It is so wonderful. I wish I could take more naps more often.














7- I love stories of my childhood and talking about them with friends and family. There are so many stories that I can think of that just make me laugh so hard. Like kicking down my brothers vent in his door because I wanted inside even though it was way past my bedtime, or thinking there were sharks in water towers (thanks Shanda and Jed), for playing with the Powells and having Taylor change his mind every 5 minutes if we were friends or not, for playing dress up (which I still do to this day) and playing games like school and spank tag with my sisters!














8- I love the first snow of the season even though I'm not there for it this year I can still feel it. There would be nights I would just sit awake for hours waiting for the snow so I could go outside and sit in it. As kids when it would snow before we went to bed we would run outside and make our annual track to play snow monster with our big fort for home base.














9- I love colored acrylic, I did acrylic nails on myself which I haven't done in about a year on myself so it was a little harder then it use to be which means I need more practice! I did my ring fingers purple which I think Jill thought was a little weird but people who are in the cosmetology industry or who get their nails done often know what I am talking about!














10- I love folding warm laundry! Even though laundry is one of my least favorite chores there is just something about warm laundry, the way it smells, the warmth making my constantly cold hands warmer, and when I am cold enough just sticking on my jacket while it is warm. I love clean clothes :)
