Mysterious... that's what I call you

A line from the song Lion by Rebecca St. James, one of the many from the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe soundtrack.
I'd have to recommend the soundtrack, but as far as the movie(s), go read the books, they are a lot better. Possibly just because I am such a reader, I honestly prefer books to the shows inspired by them. Then there are those books I thought were such trash I haven't bothered taking the time to watch their movie adaptation... Such as Twilight. Yep. Never been impressed by Stephanie Meyer's work on a 'feel-good' level. Yes she is a clever author, picking subjects that catch people's eyes and create a sensation. But just because she creates something with words doesn't mean it's right or good.
Words can be used either way. Building up or tearing down, hurting or healing, killing or bringing to life. That is the way of a medium

Christmas time!!!

I don't know about you guys, but we got a lot of snow dumped on us in the past two days. It's wonderful!!! I absolutely LOVE small towns, some business was playing Christmas carols outside while the snow was falling, making the walk we took to the library even more perfect.
My snow hat is out of storage again, and oh how I'd forgotten how much I love it! Super comfy and warm. Makes me miss Montana though...
Lately I've been spending hours with the computer for company- uploading and organizing my family's pictures of 20+ years. It takes a while, thank heaven for digital is all I can think. I'm almost done with part of my Aunt's Christmas present though and that makes me happy :) Now I just have everyone else's stuff to go through...
I put in for a start up kit with this work-at-home company and frankly I'm not too darn impressed. Depending on how things pan out I could either be making 50 cents a product or 15 cents. That's a huge variance and I'm not exactly thrilled about the latter number. They are a small craft and take some delicate work. Called the company to double-check, they were out of the office, will call again tomorrow if they don't call back.
Anyway, time to run- I have some errands to do and the snow has stopped enough that I'd want to venture out of the house. Wish me luck!

I'm back!

Wow. Talk about a LOOONNNNGGG time since I've updated this part of my life. Anyway, I'm LOVING being married. It's definitely different, but super good. My husband is super amazing & I'm just grateful he can put up with me while I learn more about myself and living with others. We moved down to Mount Pleasant and are living in a 100+ year old house (believe me, the heating bill is definitely showing it) that is quite quaint. It actually used to be a dress shop that the older woman who lived here before the current owners, ran in the front of the house while living in the back portion. Got to love the history you can find everywhere here.
I just found out that one of the Presidents of the Church's grandparents were born and lived in Mount Pleasant... can't remember which one currently, but I knew once lol. I've been on this reading spree. Can't even tell you how much I LOVE the library here. Sam does too, just for different reasons than I ;) haha. I've made a decision that for every novel I pick up I have to read some book that isn't fiction. It's been interesting, I'm currently finishing up a book on the similarities between Thomas Jefferson & Joseph Smith- I love the Founding Fathers.
Haven't found a job yet but I'm hoping to make this venture with a work-at-home company go through. We'll just have to see, keep your fingers crossed.
I've been seeing a chiropractor and physical therapist for my car accident injuries-- I hope to be soon finished with that chapter of my life and onto better health. I've learned a lot from my physical therapist though, a nice guy by the name of Ben. Just different exercises to strengthen core muscles and the best part is that they aren't strenuous at all :D gotta love that!
My mom just had her 11th child, a beautiful baby girl they've named Sienna Rose. She's got more hair than all of my mom's kids combined, with the exception of myself perhaps :) I actually DID have hair when I was born.
It's been different, being away from home... when Home isn't really my home anymore. I miss them TONS. It makes coming Home fun though, every time I walk through the door my 3 year old brother greets me with a huge hug and a "You're HOME!!!" haha. Oh how I love that boy.
Anyway, it's getting late and I'm tired so I'll wrap this up for now. Much love and happiness heading your way!
