A Magical 25th Birthday!

Last November I learned a great secret. This year at Disneyland if you are celebrating a birthday they let you in for free on the exact day of your birthday. WOW! I secretly signed Josh up for this and the secret lasted all of one month. (Hey, I tried and I do believe that is a Personal Best for me in holding out on a secret) I got too excited and just had to tell Josh! Plus, I had to make sure he actually didn't have school on Friday.
Anyway, after months of waiting, March finally arrived and we got to go celebrate his day of birth! I don't know if I was more excited to ditch work or to go to Disneyland? Let us just say it was a combination of both with ditching work more on top. Ha ha

Disneyland was a blast! We got there bright and early. I had no idea that there is a count down by the gates right before Disneyland opens. I told Josh I felt like I was getting ready to run a race and I was glad I wore my running shoes instead of my flip flops. 10...9...8...CELEBRATE!

We got to ride all of our favorite rides! And yes, Josh screamed the whole time and made silly faces at every camera. His body may have turned 25 but his mind still belongs to a kid.

I love my Prince Charming and I am glad I got to be there with him to celebrate his magical 25th birthday.

P.S. For all you Cougar fans out there, we kicked your trash also!!

Shopping in the Kids Section

Josh and I were invited to play in a co-ed soccer league with one of Josh's friends. Josh was really excited. The only problem was that I didn't have any shoes to wear. When we drove up to St. George for Devin and Aubrey's wedding we decided to stop at the outlet malls and see if there were any shoes that I could buy. When we walked into the store they only had Men's indoor shoes!! We were kind of bummed. As we were leaving Josh, just jokingly, asked me if I could fit into children's shoes. I didn't know, but we asked the guy to bring out a size 5.5 in kids and guess what....they fit!! The coolest thing was that they were half the price of the adult shoes!! Josh wants me to always shop in the kids section for all of my clothing, it would totally save us some money!!

This are the new kicks!!

Look at them SEXY legs!! Ow Ow!! (QUOTE FROM JOSH)

P.S. We had our first game tonight and I scored a goal. If a girl scores it is worth two points, so technically I scored two goals :) I give all of the credit to the new shoes.

Remember Laughter IS Good For You!

According to The Sunday Oregonian (don't ask me why I randomly read that paper - I just sort of found it), "the average five-year-old laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs only 17." Only 17 times! What is wrong with this? So much! Laughing is so healing, yet many of us "mature" adults have ignored the humor that surrounds us. I have learned, recently, that the lack of laughter in your life can attribute to the stress.


I have been volunteering at Safe Nest. It is a shelter for abused women and children. My experience so far has been great, sad, mind numbing and life altering. The women there are amazing and have so much strength and courage.

About two weeks ago I was talking with one lady about her stressors. After discussing her real life stressors, I asked a simple question of, "what do you think you can do to relieve this type of stress?" I was waiting and expecting to hear answers like, exercise more, meditate, pray, etc. Instead, what I heard made me laugh and then her and I laughed harder when I realized she was serious. She told me in a straight face that when ever she can she will place a fork in front of her eye and look through the prongs. This helps her imagine that everyone is in jail. When she doesn't have a fork handy she will just use her three fingers and it works almost the same. I will tell you that the rest of the evening her and I would randomly pull out our three fingers and start laughing. Although, I don't wish for everyone to be in jail it brought humor into my day and I may continue to do that when I am stressed.

P.S. Last week I did graduate from my 40 hr. training and I am officially a Safe Nest advocate. On graduation night I received my purple ribbon pin, my first purple rose and my "diploma". My diploma really is just a certificate officially declaring my status as an advocate but my teacher dressed it up like a diploma. It was a really special night and I am glad to be a part of something important. (sorry, I don't have any pictures from it- I am still waiting for one of the girls to send me hers)
