Who am I?

Who am I?
I am…
Amazing…but sometimes I forget.
Beautiful…some days I only see my flaws.
Careful…but careless with my heart.
A Dreamer…although sometimes I dream too big.
Eager to please…the wrong people.
Forgiving… with everyone but myself.
Grateful… yet I forget to show it.
Hopeful…and still worry about the future.
Interesting… but wonder if I try too hard.
Joyful…yet I cry often.
Kind… sometimes my kindness is taken advantage of by others.
Loved… but forget to love myself.
A mother…sometimes I want to be a child again.
Neighbor…and have days that I just want to be left alone.
Open…people see too much.
Passionate…but sometimes I let it get in the way of what is
real.
Quiet…especially when my heart is crying out to be heard…
Restless…sometimes I forget to pay attention to the little
things…
Single…I wonder when I will get it right.
Trying…sometimes I try too hard, and other times I throw in
the towel way too soon.
Understanding…so sometimes I let my emotions get in the way.
Vulnerable…I wear my heart on my sleeve.
Working hard…some days I want to quit.
An X…Lots of x’s… I need to quit making the same mistakes.
Yearning of understanding…mostly by myself. Who am I anyway?
Zapped… Time to clear my head and start over…

A fun filled weekend...

It has been a while since Hannah and I have been able to spend the weekend doing anything that we actually wanted to do... Between school, family, limited income and other commitments, it's been rough to get out (not to mention the nasty weather.)
Well, we made up for it this weekend!

Friday night: Grizzley's hockey game
Last week my school hosted our first ever health fair. A bit stressful but I was lucky enough to win one of the raffles. ( I promise, it wasn't fixed... lol) I won a pair of tickets to the Grizzleys game and a chance to go out on the ice during intermission and shoot to win a car. Well, I was cool enough to mess up my knee, so I wasn't feeling so good about going out on the ice. Jon Duke to the rescue! Have to love my Dad. He was more than willing to come along and take the shot for me. He got two tries, one short shot for a free oil change (which he won!) and a longer one for a car. Well, no good on that one, but he impressed the crowd. He had the closest shot all year. Quite the stud! Hannah was lucky enough to tag along with him on the ice, but for "safety" reasons, they put her in the new car they drove out on the ice and let her hang out the window and wave at us. It was priceless! On the way out to the car afterwards people were high-fiving my dad. What a trooper. :) I got a few pictures with my crappy phone, haven't dared to try to upload yet... we will see how motivated I get.

Saturday: Disney on Ice and hot tubbing

We spent Saturday morning with my friend Warren and his kids. We had a great time at Disney on Ice (my very first time!). Toy Story 3 was pretty cool. May be going again next year...
We were pretty tired when we got done, but were lucky enough to get invited over to hang with my friend Karli and have a little hot tub party. Hannah has wanted to go swimming for weeks, so we didn't hesitate when asked. We drove up to Oakley and had a great time enjoying the beautiful night sky and a cold Dr. Pepper.

Silly faces. Who can be serious when you're having this much fun?

Sunday: Sluffing church and the Jordan River Parkway

I admit. Springing ahead isn't my thing. I was exhausted. 9 a.m. church was not happening. We slept in... next week we will be there with bells on.

We met up with Warren and the kids again and went to the park for a while. There were tons of people there so we took the back up plan and headed to the Parkway for a walk. The kids brought the scooters and bread to feed the ducks. We ended it with a picnic and some football.

Needless to say, we had an amazing weekend! Can't wait to do it again!

Aysha was pretty proud of how far she could throw the bread for the ducks. What a darling smile!

Ayshe, Joe, Nate, and Hannah...

Warren, Aysha, Hannah, Joe, and Nate. Throwing rocks in the river: no better way to spend a sunny Sunday!

Hannah was searching for the perfect "skipping rock"
