changes, goals revisited, traveling woes, and a thursday baby love giggle!

I am headed back to Hawaii!!!! I am sitting at the airport in Seattle. Thanks to my dear mother who made my plane ticket I have 2 layovers both about 3 1/2 hours................. BUT it was either fly ALL day today or leave yesterday. And I think the one extra day with my family and Aj was well worth an 18 hour travel day today. So no complaints here, besides thank goodness its 2012 and we can FLY somewhere in less than a day instead of having weeks of traveling by boat, horse, foot, ect... I'm grateful for technology. With that said...can someone PLEASE invent teleportation. Thanks.

Today was a rushed and sad morning. I went to bed at 4am, got up at 6am, showered, finished packing, and made sure I had everything. I said goodbye to my brothers, sisters, niece, and aj.. almost cried, but no tears..YET. Aj dropped me off at the airport. He came inside with me and helped carry my bags and the security line was a biznatch...seriously it was the longest I've ever seen it and he even waited in line with me all the way up to the front which took almost half an hour. I thought I was gonna miss my flight!....I only half wished I actually had lol.

I'm sad because I was just getting comfortable in Utah, but because one of my goals is to embrace change and overcome my fear of it, I am trying very hard not to let the sadness take over and miss everyone too much. So I'm excited to be going back to Hawaii and to get busy and back to work with school, but I'm gonna miss everyone back in Utah a lot! So to try to put the positive spin on it I'll talk about what I LIKE about this change. I LIKE that I get to go back to warmth and the beach and beautiful Hawaii. I LIKE that I have friends there that are excited to see me, so I know I won't be lonely. I LIKE that I will be able to run outside there. I LIKE that I'm gonna be busy with school. I LIKE that I'm going back to work at a place I enjoy working. I LIKE that my dad and mom are usually just about an hour away in pearl city so I can just go on over whenever I get home sick for family. I LIKE that I am pushing myself to do more with my life and trying things out of my comfort zone. I LOVE that I know me and Aj are going to be just fine through all of this. There I already feel better :)

Isn't it illegal or whatever to have a lighter on an airplane?? cuz I totally forgot I had a lighter in my purse and I went through security with it and they didn't eeeven catch it. Pretty much I'm at terrorist status right now. OOPS!


Oh! In attempt to do good on my goals I tried to inspire myself to add more color to my life by doing bright neon pink on my toes when I went with my sisters to get pedicures the other day (if you know me i HATE pink), I don't completely hate it. Also I went to Ross yesterday and was going to buy something bright....but then bought a gray and black pencil skirt instead...FAIL. but point is, I'm trying.

Anyways heres few more goals to add that I forgot to put down in my goals post:

- Watch less tv. Holy cow I've never been addicted to so many tv shows in my life as I am now! I blame my sister, Melissa, for knowing all the shows and watching them and getting me hooked...and I also blame the DVR for being so convenient, recording the shows and letting me watch them whenever I wanted. Can I just point out how ridiculous reality tv shows are? I'm watching people living their lives while I'm living mines on the couch....and I feel as if all of them aren't even reality cuz they're all FAKE. So I need to go out and live my life more instead of watching fake celebrities living theirs on crap tv shows. Idk they are just so addicting!...i love the kardashians...its such a guilty pleasure! SO YES LESS TV! 

- Fast at least once a month. I was talking with my bishop this past Sunday and he advised me and Aj both that we should both be fasting once or twice a month. Twice is a little ambitious for me since I'm not a good faster so my goal is at least fast for real on fast Sunday every month this year. My bishop said it will teach us to master ourselves and I honestly believe I NEED that.

Ok I just went to the bathroom and what is with people who can't figure out how to FLUSH a toilet??....seriously you just push the handle...or step on it with your foot like I do. Annoying.

- "You don't have to say it if you're already doing it." Does anyone else watch the Office? Well I love that show and one episode there's this annoying guy who knocks on someone's door and every time he hits the door he says "knock, knock, knock" and the guy says back to him, "You don't have to say it if you're already doing it." Which made me think about this girl who had a talk or testimony or something in church I can't remember where, but she said she was from a small town and there weren't many LDS where she was from and after high school she went to church somewhere and saw a boy from her high school and she went to say hi and he goes, "I didn't know you were Mormon." and because she came from a small place she figured everyone just knew she was LDS, but then she realized apparently to this guy she had grown up with, she had never done anything to SHOW that she was LDS. So I want to try to be able to SHOW that I'm LDS without having to say it. This means I have to watch my swears (my mom says I have a potty mouth), watch what I wear (i LIVE in tank tops), time to test out this "modest is hottest", and overall try to live my life so that people can SEE my standards...."You don't have to say it if you're already doing it"..i just love that!

Don't you hate it when someone comes and sits RIGHT NEXT to you (yes even one seat over is RIGHT NEXT to me haha) when there's like a million other places to sit. I feel like she's invaded MY space and now I have to smell her stink fast food..

Now to go kill another hour on facebook and pinterest until my flight starts to board! lol....another goal less fb....but I'm banking on school taking care of that by keeping me so busy that I won't want to get on fb..........yeeeeeah right! haha

One more traveling woe even though I'm not there yet I know I'm going to get irritated already when it happens so I might as well write it down..Don't you think it's just the most annoying and obvious thing in the whole entire world when at bag claim and you're waiting for the bags to even start coming out, but all these idiots think they have to be RIGHT at the edge of the bag claim BLOCKING everyone else from being able to get their bags? I always pick an open spot then stand a few feet back so that I can walk up when my bag comes around and then walk away. BUT it never fails that some IDIOT comes and stands RIGHT IN FRONT of me. It makes me so mad! But I always try to hit them with my bag when it comes around......they deserve to get hit for being stupid and oblivious to everyone else, blocking the conveyor belt, and being in the way.

For a Thursday Giggle:

She woke up wit the nappiest hair this morning...it was sticking straight up!

Go ahead and laugh! I miss my little Goose!

  2. haha I love this post too! I like your goals, mines is to fast on fast Sunday because truthfully I only fasted in 2009 (twice) and that was the last of it for me. Secondly, I'm trying to watch my mouth, but I figure I'll ease into that one a little later lol.
