Smooch

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas this weekend!

I have listened to this song over and over again..

I can't even recall how I came across such a fabulous song..

I have not ever heard it on the radio..so enjoy..

Don't watch the video..close your eyes..or just look at something else..

I watched like 10 sec. of it and it was way weird (not inappropriate..just weird..I think..I have not

seen the whole video so I would not know).

Usually music videos ruin the song so I prefer not to see them.

Snazzy Stuff

We are all married! 

It has been so neat to have all my siblings married in the temple. It is so comforting to

know we are all sealed to each other and can be together..forever..(literally).

 (I don't have a picture of my sis in her wedding dress..

this picture of her and her hubby was taken on my wedding day)

All from the two people that fell in love:)

.

There are certain times that I really have a longing for my 

sweet mother. 

Today is one of those times.

I guess it is cause Christmas is coming up.

I just wish she were here with me.

 I often have the urge to put my arms around her and thank her for being such a 

wonderful example to me and everyone that knew her.

One of the greatest blessing I receive is feeling her sweet spirit in my life, 

I wish I could be more like her.

I long for the day that my husband can finally meet her.

Thank goodness we have eternity together.

I love you mom, so glad to know Sam is with you.

The Smell of Pine

This is a random thought post:

I have always hated lipstick..

mostly because I felt as if I had just smeared cake all over my lips and just left it there. 

Well since about 3 weeks ago I rediscovered lipstick. 

I now wear it everyday.

Grace gave me these BEAUTIFUL flowers.

Made my day. She is hands down one of the most thoughtful people

I know! She is always sending me sweet cards and doing so much for us.

 LOVE YOU GRACE.

Tay gave me a hot chocolate maker last year.

This machine has been good to me this winter. 

Makes my soul feel warm and cozy inside..just like a "good friend"!:)

I made these scrumptious pumpkin muffins and they are so moist and delish!

 This year we did our tree silver and blue...I like the combo:)

QUESTION..

So I would like to know your opinions..(for the few of you that look at my blog)

Gift cards have gotten the reputation of being thoughtless.

 I actually think they are AMAZING.

I love receiving gift cards and I think they are great if you know that person likes to go to a certain place to din out. I put a lot of thought when getting gifts and sometimes gift cards end up being the best way I can think to suite certain people and what they like to do. 

 Are you a gift carder giver or a gift card hater?

Tay and I were sitting at home and decided to tell each other everything we 

thought the other person is good at..

I went first..and told him everything I thought he was good at.

Then he went.

After he was done I said, "you forgot to say singing"

he paused..

"you mean that you like to sing"

haha it is so sad and so true..I sing all the time..in the car, shower, in the store, randomly in front of friends, I am just NOT a good singer but I love to sing:)

Most of our car rides consists of us singing and dancing.

 (luckily I am not singing in this one so it is much more pleasant)
