Happy thought: bedtime.

I'm exhausted and it's my bedtime. I looooooove bedtime.

Goodnight!

I love my missionary!

Extra post: About me!

I don't think I told much about myself in the first post, so in order for you to understand some of my posts I should tell a little about myself.

I'm a girl obviously, who is waiting for an amazing man to get home from his mission. We've been best friends for 4 years and dating for 2 of them. He left in October 2009, so I still have a while to go. He's serving in the Paraguay Asuncion' mission, Spanish speaking.

I graduated from Bingham High school in 2008. I'm currently going to Salt Lake Community College in Utah for my Associates Degree in Family and Human Studies. After I get that degree I am hoping to continue my education at UVU for a Bachelor's Degree so that I can become an Elementary teacher.

I truly am a workaholic. I have two jobs; I work in the child center at Lifetime Fitness and I also work with a class of 4-6 graders, all autistic. I love both my jobs and am learning great skills from them.

I teach the sunbeams in my home ward and I really do love my class. They are all the biggest little sweethearts and they make me so stinking happy!

I love colors, movies, and sleeping. I love spending time in my bedroom that I am proud to say is always clean, and hanging out at my missionary's house. I get along great with his family, they're all so awesome!

So yeah basically that's me in a nutshell, any Q's feel free to ask!

Happy Thought: Big Brothers!

Ok so school starts tomorrow and because of that and the two jobs that I have plus working out with my bff I will be gone every day from 7am to midnight. So I bought myself a cute turquoise lunchbox, because if I eat out every day then not only will I become an elephant, I'll go broke! So anyway I got this lunchbox and I am so excited to use it! So excited! I was talking to my mom about how excited I am for it and she mentioned that my big brother bought us these really cool salad holders for like a lunch on the go and stuff, you know? So I was looking at it today trying to figure out how to use it, when he came over! He saw me with it and so he showed me how to use it and also how to use the other lunch containers he bought us. They're all pretty cool! So tomorrow I get to eat this awesome salad for lunch with the container my brother bought my family. Yay for big brothers who buy useful stuff!

I love my missionary!

Happy Thought: Receipts!

I went shopping today because I needed a new duffel bag and backpack. So, I find a great duffel bag and buy it, no big deal. Then, I go on the hunt for a new backpack for college at Target. I get there, find a backpack that's pretty cute, buy it and get home. I start to show it off to my mom and she doesn't seem very happy. At all. Turns out, she bought me a backpack for my birthday that's coming up! So she gave it to me early since I'll be needing it on Monday, and I will say it may not be AS cute as the one I got, but it's definitely cute and has more pockets and is just tons better than the one I got. This one is Adidas too! Bahaha! Soooo, luckily I still have the receipt for the backpack I got so I can take it back. If there were no receipts, or if I would have chucked it, I would be stuck with two new backpacks, but I don't need two backpacks, I just need one! Yay for receipts!

I love my missionary!

Happy thought: Dreams

Dreams are amazing. You're in real life one minute and all of a sudden you're somewhere else, but it feels so real! They are such a great place to escape to when you're down! They're a place where anything can happen and everything is possible!

Well, let me just let you all know that I had an amazing dream about my missionary last night! Simply amazing! His mission was oooooooooover! We were at my grandma's house, (why my grandma's house? No idea.) Anyway, we were just hanging out at first, then out of nowhere I pounced on him and gave him the biggest little hug ever! Then I kissed him and told him how happy I am that he's home and I also told him he's not allowed to ever leave me again. It was depressing waking up and realizing I'm still only 3 months into his mission, but I also felt like I'd just gotten home from hanging out with him. What a good feeling!

I love my missionary!

Happy Thought: Bandaids!

So I was at work today, working with one of my students that's just learning how to actually use scissors, (I work in an autistic class,) and he had just finished what he was cutting so I asked if I could have them and right when I went to take them he started chopping and he cut a chunk right out of my middle finger! I didn't feel anything I was just like, "Whoa bud be careful you could hurt someone!" And I look down and I have a chunk, A CHUNK, out of my finger! At first it didn't bleed, but all of a sudden. . . it was a gusher! Oh man I've bled through so many bandaids today!!! It's pretty funny! But let me just say that I am so grateful for bandaids because without them I'd be taping tissues to my finger! Yay for bandaids!

I love my missionary!

Happy Thought: Very very nice Supervisors!

It always sucks when you're at work, you feel great at first, then as time goes on you start to feel worse and worse until you have to race to the bathroom to throw up. Well that happened to me today. And let me just say, I am so grateful for my very nice supervisor who was so sweet enough to send me home even when we were at a 1:20 ratio and we're supposed to only be at a 1:12. Holy crap! Thank you supervisor for sending me home so I can rest up so I won't be sick tomorrow!

(And sorry workout buddy for ditching you tonight.) :(

I love my missionary!

Happy thought: Hot Tubs!

This post will be short because it is 12:10am and I just got home from an amazing workout so I'm pretty exhausted. I did the eliptical, the stair machine, and finished it off with a nap in the hot tub. Seriously though, I wish hot tub beds were doable, I could totally sleep in one all night long.

I love my missionary!

Thought of the Day: Electronic Mail

I love how advanced our generation is in. . . basically everything. One of the smartest and most amazing things are emails! Person one is in one place in the world, while person two is thousands of miles away from person one. But even though they're so far apart, person one can write to person two and they'll receive it the second they are finished! How awesome is that??
But what're the cons to emails? I can only think of one. Emails are not personal. No matter how personal you try to make them, a genuine hand written letter will always be more personal. Oh and everyone loves receiving letters, am I right? Everyone gets emails so there's nothing too special about it. But special people get letters!
So if you ever have to make a decision between sending someone an email or sending them a letter, my advice is go with the letter. Letters make people happier than emails do. They may take a few extra days, but isn't it worth it? Seeing that familiar handwriting makes me smile bigger than reading something that's typed. I receive emails from everyone, but letters, I get from special people.

I love my missionary!

Happy Thought: Cupcakes!

I don't know anyone that can eat a cupcake and not be filled with happiness! Aren't cupcakes the best? Whether they're chocolate, white, big, small, over cooked or under cooked, they are always good!

The best part of a cupcake is the frosting, am I right? I love to just lick the frosting off the top and then eat the cake. Ooooo the way the frosting melts in your mouth, all that sugar, oh baby I can never have enough frosting!

My sister told me today that there is a certain way to eat cupcakes. Really! She saw it on TV. And brace yourselves, all though this is pretty smart I still think my way is the best way. But I still want to share this bit of info with you. So here are the steps to eating a cupcake:

1. You know the top part of the cupcake that has all that delicious frosting on it? The part that's bigger than the rest of the cupcake? Yeah, that part. Rip it off!
2. Now take the bottom part of the cupcake, turn it upsidedown, and slap it onto the top, the frosting.
3. So now you should have kind of a cupcake sandwich. It should go, cake, frosting, cake. Okey doke, so now that you have a cupcake sandwich, you eat it like a sandwich! Pretty smart right?

So there you go! The official way to eat a cupcake! But, in my opinion, licking the frosting off first is still the best way to eat one!

I love my missionary!

Why in the World?

Why is my blog titled Two Whole Years?
I am a young girl waiting very patiently for an LDS missionary. We dated for two years before his mission and we are honestly so in love. He knows how to make me smile, how to make me cry, how to make me laugh, and how to make me do whatever he wants. ;)

Why am I creating this blog?
Everyone knows that having a missionary is not the easiest thing in the world. It's full of tears, anger, sadness, and misery. But it's also full of love and happiness. Now, the happiness part is a little difficult to have all the time, so in attempt to make myself the happiest I can be while he's gone, I have decided to make a "Positive Blog." I will try my hardest to not allow myself to post anything negative at this point. I will become my happiest self.

Who am I?
I am a 20 year old girl who loves her missionary. I work in a child center and a classroom of autistic children. I am currently going to school to become an elementary teacher. Some of my favorites include: colorful tights, making watches, writing, and watching movies.

What about the missionary?
My missionary is serving all the way in Paraguay! He has been out for two and a half months, so only 21 and a half more to go! He is an amazing person who I know is an amazing missionary. His mission area is very poor and Spanish speaking, exactly what he wanted. When he gets home he's going to go to school to become a doctor. He loves music, making people laugh, drawing squid, and Star Wars.

How awkward is this?
I always have a hard time getting to the conclusions... I'll just awkwardly end now by saying this:

I love my missionary.
