Sometimes in the evening I'll get a thought stuck in my head that I just can't get out. I had this happen last night and ended up thinking about this thought all through the night. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get it out of my head. My thought:
Buying some land, building my dream house, and then conjoining the backyard with whoever lived next door. Hopefully I lived next to someone I was fond of. You could have the best backyard around.
It's a silly dream, I know. It sure is appealing though.

Bath Time
I got to admit, I think this girl is pretty dang cute. Sophie loves her baths. LOVES them. We gave her a quick bath and wrapped her up in her little robe. I couldn't help but take a picture. What a sweet girl.
The Luckiest
I have THE best in-laws. I left Sunday dinner last night feeling so so lucky. Some days I am reminded more than others. Yesterday was one of these.
Claudia: The most kind hearted woman in the world. This woman has a heart made of gold and intentions that are so pure. I admire her so much. She is always so positive and happy regardless of the situation. She is good at finding that silver lining in whatever situation. I wish to be just like when I get older.
Brian: The most genuine, sincere man. This is one of the best men I have ever met in my entire life. He has a real knack for making people feel important. Oh, how I envy that quality. He is so giving and never thinking of himself. It's something we all could work on. Oh ya, did I mention humble? I feel like he has so much to be proud of, yet I don't think he realizes how great he is.
Natalie: She is the "mom" out of the siblings and boy she is good at it. You can tell her siblings admire her so much. She makes delicious salads and is a wonderful cook. She'll tell you that she is working to be a "domestic goddess." What she doesn't realize is that she already is. I feel like she is such a good homemaker. I have a lot to learn from her.
Hilary: Knows how to be a friend. I admire that characteristic about her. I feel like I could sit and talk to her for hours about anything and still have fun. Hils also is someone who is humble when they have every right not to be. This amazes me. She has her priorities straight and is one of the best moms. I look up to her so much.
Adam: Knows how to make people laugh. This guy is a hoot. I have appreciated him so much and how good he is to me and Zach. He has such a good heart and darling boys. I've also been impressed at how hard he works to support his family. He is a good example to me and Zach of how we one day hope to be. This guy is also the champ at making Zach feel confident in his abilities which I love so much.
I am truly the luckiest. I married into the BEST family. I couldn't have gotten luckier!

On My Mind
I have a slew of random things on my mind today. Here are a few.
1. It's 45 degrees and sunny- a perfect day for a walk. Soph and I went for a walk around the village and it was so nice. It felt wonderful and some days it's nice to get out of the house even if it is only for a little.
2. On another note, I dropped off my car Monday evening to get it fixed and I still don't have it back. I am slightly frustrated. It's just nice to know if I want to go somewhere I can.
3. Sophie is THE best little button around. Oh gosh, I LOVE HER! I can't say that enough. She makes me SO happy.
4. I'm still on my house kick.
What's on your mind today?

Dreaming
I'm daydreaming, again! I woke up this morning and continued reading a blog I couldn't finish last night. If you haven't checked out this blog then you NEED to. (http://www.71toes.com) (I tried inserting the link and even asked for help but I clearly have no clue what I am doing.) I want to be JUST like this woman when I "grow up." This lady is incredible. It got me daydreaming though about the future. I can't wait for the day that we have all the kids we planned, buy a house, make friends in our neighborhood, become a little more established- you get the point. That sort of stuff excites me. After reading the blog mentioned above and looking at all her wonderful pictures, I couldn't help but dream about that stage of life. What are you dreaming about?

Homesick
I am absolutely homesick- and no, not wanting to go home but BUY a house. We aren't in a place to do so at the moment but a girl can dream, can't she? I look forward to the day we can. I have compiled a list of a few things I thought it MUST have. In my dreams it would have:
1. A big yard.
2. A beautiful staircase. (Every house needs one.)
3. A porch.
4. Wood floors.
5. A mud room.
6. Lots of windows.
7. A fireplace.
8. A guest bedroom.
9. Plantation Shutters.
I think that's all. I can't wait for the day we buy a house. CAN'T WAIT! I look at real estate and dream about it way too much. But as I said before, a girl can dream can't she?

What to do?
I have been debating on whether or not I should get rid of my Facebook. I have had these thoughts for some time now and I have been thinking more seriously about it today after a cute girl in my ward said she was getting rid of hers. It made me think of how much time I waste on that darn thing and how many other things are so much more important in this life. I figure that I will make an effort get a hold of people that are important to me. Facebook hasn't ever changed this concept. I think of all the things I would/should rather be doing. My list consists of this:
This girl is my whole world and she deserves every second of my time. I should be making memories, not stalking other peoples. There is still that little part in my brain that keeps telling myself that I will regret getting rid of it once I do. Oh, what to do?

I am the LUCKIEST!!
I have been reminded once again that I have the best friends. People may disagree and say that they are the ones that in face have the best friend but I know I am right. I was reminded today about the friendships that are truly beautiful- the friendships that distance doesn't change. The friendships that come naturally and easy and never change no matter how much time has gone by. I find that those are the friendships that are full of true beauty. I have a few such friends. Meet Melanie Duffy and Kimmee Wade - two of my very best friends.
They are the best friends a girl could ask for. I could spend hours telling everyone how incredible they are - so I will.
Melanie Duffy: Melanie is one of the most beautiful girls a person will ever know. Inside and out. She is a listener, the loyalest of friends, easy to talk to, and brutally honest at times- but only out of love. She is in love with love and could be a model.
Kimmee Wade: If you ever need a friend with a bigger heart, this is your gal. I am jealous of Kim. She is so easily able to love- and not just some people - ANYONE! She is spunky and has sass. She is independent, smart, and is going to make THE BEST mom. That girl is more prepared than anyone I know. And, I have always been impressed at how slow she is to judge. That is such a talent.
I could go on and on about these guys. There is something so special and beautiful about them. Their friendship means the world to me and while I may stink at calling, skyping, texting, etc, I know that if I ever needed anything, they would be there in a heartbeat, and I know that no matter the time or distance, nothing will ever change with us. I find that absolutely beautiful and it's just another one of those times I feel so darn lucky.

Happy Stalking
I have always loved stalking people. Almost any kind you can think of- facebook stalking, going on a drive-by of my current crush's house (this practice has stopped because I live with mine but all girls have done it), blog stalking... I honestly love it all. As I was stalking a blog today I think I realized why. Besides all the cute pictures, fun backgrounds, and music, I love getting to know that person better. I honestly wish I could be best friends with everyone- know everything about them. I feel like reading people's blogs lets me do that a little more. I think of the relationships I have with my girlfriends. We'll send each other a text, or call, or talk online, and by the end of the month I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of how their life went that month- their good and bad days at work, drama with their crushes, what is going on with their family, stories of their professors and the annoying people in their classes, how they reacted in certain situations... you get the point- just every day stuff. I love that feeling of feeling like I actually know them- every part of them. I know their likes and dislikes, the quirky things that make them unique, how their usual day goes... I absolutely love that. It's when I stalk people's blogs that I feel like I get a little glimpse into their soul and who they are. I absolutely love that. So, I am off but maybe you won't find me as creepy if you find out I have been stalking you.
