Guys

Be the way most of my guy problems are solved! The major ones anyway for right now at least!! I don't know who all reads this blog but I'm going to give a little advice. One thing that I have learned lately is that talking is the best medicine to most any problem in the book. With most things all it takes is letting the person or person's know how you feel about whatever is going on or bothering you. I've always been one of those people that talks about everything and lately that has come in very handy. I know that it's hard...let me tell you first hand it's not easy but in the end it is totally worth it! It makes life a lot easier and then you're always happy because everything is always working out great for you! Anways...sorry about rambling on! Love, Anne Marie

Snow Day!!!!

So, today was one of those days that you think the school should call it a snow day but never does!! I usually walk home but who wants to walk home in a blizzard right?? lol! So, one of my friends took me home! We went down seventh street...we just about hit this guy that slide off the road and then there were two other accidents on the hill! It was so crazy! Thanks to Josh's amazing driving skills we made it home safely!!! Then, we shoveled my yard and made a snowman! Then, drank hot cocoa! it's the best!!! Here's the pictures:

me and snowman!

The snowman: made of eyes: broccoli, nose: a carrot, and a licorice mouth!! Isn't he the cutest!

Valentine's Day

So, yesterday was my first Valentine's Day being of the dating age! It was pretty good! I've been having some major guy issues lately and so I was trying to not let them get in the way of my Valentine's Day. One of my best friends gave me a heart with chocolates in it. He was basically the only one that gave me a Valentine besides Heather! He seriously made my whole weekend several different times...if that's even possible...lol! Anyways! The first part of my V-day was pretty rough but at about 6 I got to babysit Bentley which was way fun so, I was pretty happy about that! Anyways....can't wait until next Valentine's Day! Hopefully it won't be as dramatic as this one!

The Valentine's Dance

Well, the dance has come and gone and I wasn't apart of it. The guy that I asked couldn't go because he had wrestling, so, what do you do! He was way sweet though and set a rain check date for February 14th!! I'm way excited!
This has been a rough week with guys and so, being upset about everything I got one of my bestest friends and we went to the mall and saw Paul Bart: Mallcop and had lunch at Chick-filla, and then went and did a little shopping! At the end we went to Orange Julius! lol...probably my favorite part! I love that place! Then, I babysat for a couple in my ward and that was way fun and then I talked to them about all my guy problems and they were a great help just being there to listen to all my problems! It turned out to be a pretty good day even though I was pretty bummed out!

Blessings

I have been so blessed in my life and as I get older I recognize those blessings more and more. One of those major blessings are friends...I have such great friends that I can't even explain what they mean to me! They are completely and utterly amazing!I am so lucky to live where I am now! I am blessed in so many ways. Thanks everyone that has been there for be during the good and the bad times!!

Wintermas

This is kind of a late update but I just thought I would post the pictures from the last school dance I went to which was Wintermas...it was on December 19th. I went with Brent! He's so amazing! It was way fun! Before the dance the girls made pizza's the guys made a gingerbread house then we played games and then after the dance we went to Baskin Robins and then we went to Brent's house and played Apples to Apples!
