Storms

So I don't know how many of you reading this live in Utah or the Wasatch counties, but if you are then you know how awful the air quality has been. For those of you who don't live here let me just fill you in. One morning I walked out to my truck and had the hardest time breathing. I felt like someone was blowing smoke in my face. They had to call everyday last week an inside day for all schools. If you don't know what that means it means that I have to be inside with my kids when they are supposed to be outside running out all their energy, it's been an energy loaded week! The sun was shining though which was a nice change, but things just looked dirty.

Then, just what we needed, a rain storm. It rained most of the day on Friday and Saturday. I sat at the gym, okay I was actually working out at the gym, and I made the comment to my friend "I love the rain it makes things feel and look so clean." Then on Sunday we woke up to a blanket of snow more rain and then more snow.

Think about it, LIFE, sunny on the outside but with poor quality on the inside making it hard to breath. Then a storm comes which at first makes things seem so much worse and more dreary, but the outcome of that storm is a clean feeling, and a fresh blanket of pure white snow.

This is a Gerbera Daisy that for some reason keeps living, despite my lack of watering (I forget its not a typical house plant). It never fails that when things seem so gloomy outside it will bloom. This is the second time this winter that is has bloomed for me. It just makes things outside so much better. It reminds me that beauty can still come out during a storm!

LIFE is good! I haven't been able to say that much lately, but I can now. And Its only going to get better! 12 days baby and I will have the happiest day of my life!

Woo Hoo!!

Compatibility

Q & A with Jamon and Staci (all these questions were asked to Jamon and I had to come up with his answers, you know the game)


Q: What was your first impression of Staci?
Jamon: She came in and said "we're going to be great friends, your going to love me." So I thought she was a fun and happy girl.
Staci: I told the same story but thought he might have added crazy with fun and happy.

Q: What was your first date?
Jamon: Well there's been some discussions to what it is. I say it is when I took her to the Real soccer game. I paid for her.
Staci: He thinks its when he took me to the Real soccer game and I think it is when he asked me a couple weeks after we were officially a couple, and it was just him and I, not him and I and Tyson, and Scottie (not that is wasn't fun guys).

Jamon: This sandwich she makes with avocados, bacon, it's really good
Staci: My calzones (which is actually his favorite, he just wanted to be different)

Q: When did you first know you were going to get married?
Jamon: When her friends gave me the cards with the ring info on it and her roommate talked to me about it.
Staci: When we got back together. (we both interpreted the question different)

Q: What is your favorite outfit that Staci wears?
Jamon: she wears these tight long sleeved shirts that look great, or the sweater, I don't remember the colors, that has stripes.
Staci: What I'm wearing now (which was one of the "tight," long, sleeved shirts.)

Jamon: She sometimes sings in public and acts silly.

Staci: I don't do anything embarrassing (singing in public is not embarrassing)

Q: What is your favorite thing to do together?

Jamon: We do a lot of cuddling on the love sac and watch tv.

Staci: We like to cuddle and just be together. (I wanted to add make-out, but my aunt was there that would judge me, and I didn't want to look like a hussie, so I didn't say it)

So Does this mean we are compatible or that I can come up with the same answers he does. Either way we are getting married and I can't wait. We keep finding out new things about each other, which I guess is what makes relationships so exciting.

PS. this post is dated in Jan 4th because that is how long I've wanted to post this.
