Bad Day

So let's face it not everyday is filled with things that make me happier than a bird with a french fry.
Some days are sort of like this.....

or maybe like this....

*note this is Kayla's arm in Washington DC, right after a bird pooped on her*


Although there are some days like above, or little things in my life that make me feel like the images above, if I think really hard I can always think about something that makes me happier than a bird with a french fry.......although sometimes I have to think really hard to find things that are good, little tiny things to keep me positive....being positive is so essential. Here is my list of things that help me remember to stay positive and remember to be happier than a bird with a french fry...
......hockey games (people fighting is such a great sight).....
......ice cream......
......Special Olympics.....
......Pinterest.....
......too loud music.....
......Pandora stations.....
......Drinking Soda on a long day......
......late night runs for food......
......long drives.....
......my new institute class.....
......reading my scriptures.....
......looking and finding the tender mercies from a loving Heavenly Father.....
......crafts.....
......talking to my Dad.....
......no matter how bad things get, or how frustrating things get, there is so much good in my life! So much to look forward to, so much happiness!!!

Oh Happy Day

things that make me happier than a bird with a french fry

....Secretariat the movie.....

....an old lady at Walmart who asked for help, and then realized I didn't work there.....

....cheery people on the phone....

....getting my oil changed and being called my dad's name, and not correcting them because I think it is funny...

....having my windows washed and floor vacuumed when getting said oil change and realizing what clean windshields are like.....

....ten dollar off coupons....

Fat Bird

What makes me happier than a bird with a french fry
.....Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band in concert, darn good stuff!!!.....
.....wearing rings on your fingers, and feeling fancy when you type........
.....wearing really cute jeans.......
.....feeling confident.......
.....making progress.......
.....having a really great job.....

......All these things that make me happier than a bird with a french fry are just a small portion of all the good things in my life! My bird who eats french fries has gained a few pounds and by golly he is strutting his stuff! (in no way or form is the bird of my blog referring to me or anyone else I know, please just picture a bird, a real one, the kind that eats french fries, you know the hoppy kind).

Back and Forth Times 4

What makes me happier than a bird with a french fry...
.....going home to my family....
.....seeing my sister baptized!...
.....having a really great job.....

Thanks to the holidays and family events I have been traveling somewhat obsessively! Here's a summary of my mileage in my poor car!
Logan and my house are approximately 314 miles apart, pie really! (Please pick up on my math joke!) Since Thanksgiving I have traveled home 4 different times....628 miles round tip...times that by four=2,512 miles! My Ford Escort, Puff the Magic Station Wagon is a beast! Thanks to my new job, and luckily spending the holidays at home I have crossed the Idaho/Utah border 10 something times since Thanksgiving. Its great fun!
