Music

Today I would like to write about the power of the music. This morning I woke in a horrible mood. I don't know why but I'm sure I wasn't very pleasant to be around. I got to work and I had the thought "I'm a grouch, I need some country!" Strange to some of you but a good country song can pull you out of any bad mood. So thanks to Mr. Walker, Miss Swift and a few others, the play list to your right to be exact, I'm in a wonderful mood now. (shout out to my husband for putting up with my antics)

Sisters



"If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child." ~Linda Sunshine

"A sister smiles when one tells one's stories - for she knows where the decoration has been added." ~Chris Montaigne

"If your sister is in a tearing hurry to go out and cannot catch your eye, she's wearing your best sweater." ~Pam Brown

"Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers." ~Pam Brown



I realize that this is a ridiculous amount of quotes but they all remind me of my sisters. If you didn't notice today my post is all about my fabulous sisters. Well as you can see all three are beautiful in they're own unique ways. (none of us look alike, I don't know why) But you don't know that they are all hilarious. That Jessica and Becca are wonderful mothers and make me so excited to experience it myself. Somehow my sisters all learned how to hold their own, I did not inherit that trait but I admire it in all of them. Today I'm very grateful for sisters. I don't think any of them realize how much they've done for me, how they've shaped me into the person I am. But I hope they know that I love them. I know that not being one of my sisters you might think that this is strange. But simply put my sisters are awesome.

Dancing in the kitchen


We've had so much fun the last couple of weeks. Last weekend we went to a Bronco's game in Denver for Heath's birthday. It was stressful because we did it all in two days but it was so fun to see a new place. Denver is beautiful and it was 75 degrees the entire time we were there and it was hot in the winter apparel we brought with us. We got there on Saturday night and ate at Jersey Mikes Subs. Just because it was in walking distance from the hotel and we were starving. It was really good though. Heath had to bring his books and study for a test he had on Monday which wasn't ideal but he was a good sport about it. We were so tired and went to bed at like 8. I can't really sleep in hotels so I stayed up and watched The Shining on TV. My logic was that it was the day after Halloween, it was on TV so it wouldn't be that scary, I had never seen it and I might as well scare myself a little. Very bad idea. I didn't take into account that the movie is horrifying, it is set in Denver and we were staying at a hotel that was very creepy. So I don't recommend it. The next day we went to the game. It was so much fun. I even enjoyed myself and payed attention to the game! Even though they did blow it. It was just so much fun experiencing something new with my husband. OUr flight was delayed on the way home so Heath had some more time to study but we didn't get home until 2. That wasn't in our plans but he got up early the next morning and took his test. (he'd never say but I'm sure he did awesome) So fast forward to Sunday night. We were adjusting our apartment to fit my family in on Monday to watch a movie. I had some music playing and "that's all" came on. I don't know about you but I love that song. So I danced with my husband in my kitchen/living room/dining room. It was perfect.
