2013. Time to Tech In.





Why hello there World! 

It's been a while since I've strolled through my blog world. True story: my 2013 New Year's resolution has been to "get with it" technologically. Subsequently, in 2013, I have created (or resurrected) an Instagram profile, Pinterest account, LinkedIn account and have Googled my brains out--Google Calendar, Google Drive...I love them all! Now I'm back to the ol' blogerooski. I suppose this is my way of journaling. Cyyyybbbeerrr journal. So cool. Techno. I'm about to head off to sleep, but I figured I'd make a simple entry. The very best of journaling. GRATITUDE. I'm super grateful today. And I LOVE gratitude....and I don't care who knows it. And shamelessly, I love bullet points.

Today, right now, I am grateful for: 
  1. The goodness that is the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. Yep...I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints...I'm a Mormon.
  2. The Awkward Family Photo Company--I love the board game. And that one-a-day calendar is a hoot.
  3. My famous sister Nicole.
  4. My mentors. I love them. Mama, Dad, Nicole, Brett, Mckenzie!, Margaret, Heather, Mo, Uncle Dan, Dale, Vicky, Will, John, Vicki, Brent, Kathryn, Bobbi, Claire, Dan, Sarah, Yang, Martin, Eric, Sue, Mara, Sweens, Patti...the list is ENDLESS. It really does take a village for this girl.
  5. Healthy, Happy Relationships (friends and family)
