Garage Sale and a Change in Wards.

Daybreak is great for many things.
Scenic walks, a lake down the road from my house, good eats and now community garage sales.
I've never been to a garage sale in my life before Saturday.
I loved it.
I think garage sales are my new favorite thing.
....and of course I came away with a few (too many) goodies.

On another note....
For some reason the church decided to make a change to the singles wards.
Which means I have a new ward that I get to go to know.
At first I was really upset about this.
If you know me at all I don't do change well.
A new ward would mean having to socialize and meet new people.
Heaven forbid. Jokes. I can do it if I really want to and try.
It's just not my forte. Not at all.
But for some reason I feel so at peace.
Like this change is going to bring something great.

Be youself. Everybody else is already taken.

The Pit and the Peak of a Friday.

{the pit} My classroom at work is absolutely freezing. It seriously is the Tundra in there. Promise every day I go home with snotsticles. I'm surprised I haven't caught a cold yet.

{the peak} Jayde came running up to me today very upset with this in her hand.....

"Miss. McCall, Miss. McCall! I found a dead potato bug!"

I honestly think she was about to cry.

She was so concerned for this bug that probably has an average life span of two hours.

The best part was that she insisted on carrying around the dead potato bug for the rest of the day.

It was thee cutest.

Currently....

{watching} Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part one
{listening} to Just the Way you Are by Boyce Avenue
{hating} the bipolar weather
{excited} for a close friend to come home from his mission
{loving} being out of school
{thankful} that the doctor finally found out what was wrong with my mom
{wishing} money grew on trees
{blessed} that I have such an amazing family
{wanting} to go to Disneyland to play with Mickey
{learning} for about the hundredth time that friendships change so quickly. one moment you're with each other and talking all the time. and the next it's done with. just like that.

Quote of the Week.

What if one day you woke up and all you had was what you thanked God for the day before.

Good Night.

Last night was fantastic.

Mostly cause I got to spend it with my mom.

We went and saw this movie...

Which I loved by the way.

John Krasinski was so good in this movie.

And I may or may not have a little crush on him?

After the movie we went and got some Gelato at a litte cafe called San Gelato by my house.

It was delish.

I found out tonight that I am a little a lot like my mom. I've always been told that, just never realized it untill I really stopped to look.

We're both quiet, calm, don't need/want to be the center of attention, love other people's company and care deeply for people.

I look up to my mom a lot.

She's been through so much.

Hopefully one day I can be half the women she is.

Cinco De Mayo.

Feliz Cinco De Mayo!

There is probably nothing I am more proud of than my culture.

For reals though.

I take such pride in where I come from.

Nothing makes me more happy than when someone asks me what nationality I am.

Love, love that question.

For those of you who don't know what Cinco De Mayo is, it's a day to commemorate Mexican heritage and pride.

And my family and I did just that.

We went and ate some delish food at a restaurant called, La Hacienda.

It was fantastic.

And authentic.

Which you can't find very many places.

Cafe Rio? No way.

Mexicans don't eat salad and sweet pork.

Oh and we got cake bites after.

Shhh that's not Mexican food.

But still oh so good! 

Wishful Thinking and Some Good Tunes.

If I could have one wish in the whole entire world it would to be able to sing.

Beautifully of course.

Cause I can sing, but there sure is nothing beautiful about it.

I want the kind of singing voice that makes grown men cry and sings restless babies to sleep.

(Don't ask about the analogy)

Ya know, the kind of voice that makes peoples mouths drop when they hear it.

That's the kind of voice I want.

Where's a  magic jeannie when you need it?

Speaking of singing...

You know those songs that no matter how many times you listen to them they'll never get old?

Well here's my list of those kind of songs.....

(And yes, pretty much all of them are Alternative. Cause well that's pretty much all I ever listen to)

Viva Las Vegas.

Vegas weekend could not have been any better.
Good places, good chats, good food, good weather, good people, good times.
What could be better? Probably nothing.
Here's a few pictures from the weekend. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Jackie for always having her camera around!
