Time Flies
This week has been quite interesting.
My work sent me, and my co-workers Betty and Laura, to a Women's Conference in Salt Lake on Thursday and Friday. It was so awesome! I learned so many helpful things for my work and personal life. I've already put to use some things with great results. I will be making Powerpoint slides at work this next week to share this useful information with the rest of the company. One thing I found extremely interesting was personality profiling. I now know how to talk to anyone in a pleasing way to them, using their personality type. It's very interesting stuff. Overall the seminar boosted my confidence in everything and gave me some useful tips and ideas.
Larry H Miller's funeral was yesterady. Lance, his dad and I went to it. The prophet, Thomas S Monson was there, as well as the first and second counselors. We also saw many Jazz players, past and present. It was very moving. Larry was a good man who did many good things for this state.
My nephews Brayden and Connor slept over last night. They are so cute! Connor just wanted to play with Abbi (my kitty) but she was not interested in that. They slept in our little loft in my scrapbooking room. They were pretty excited to sleep up there.
Spring is getting even closer! I can't wait to break out my shorts and my swim suit! Speaking of swim suit, Lance's company provided us with Orem Rec Center passes. I'm pretty excited. Now we can go swim whenever we want! I haven't been swimming in over a year, sad huh? Sierra and I are definitely going swimming when we go to Vegas next month. Less than 7 weeks until we go!
I have had so far, a total of two ballroom rehearsals for the alumni perfomance in May. The dance is so stinkin sweet!! It's kind of a hip hop-cha cha to a version of Poker Face by Lady Gaga. Very funky and, dare I say "fresh?" After the first rehearsal my poor quads were so terribly sore. Now my neck is sore. Go figure that one out! I haven't danced in so long that my neck is out of shape? That doesn't make much sense, eh? It's so much fun though. I need to find some sort of community ballroom class, just so I can keep dancing. It's definitely something I love and have a passion for. I don't ever expect to be a pro or "the best" but, if you love it, why not do it as often as you can?
20 days until spring! Keep your heads up!

Life Improvements
Gosh today is so beautiful outside! It almost looks like spring! Only 30 days until spring! I am so ready for warm weather!
Lately I've been trying to do 2 things better than I have in the past. One is that I've been trying not to say anything about anyone, unless I would be OK with that being said about me. It's given me a different perspective to think about. I'm sure I've been talked about in a negative way, and if I found out about it, I would probably be devastated, and I don't want to make anyone feel that way. Granted, I can't take back all the things I've said in the past, but maybe if I do this for long enough my gossiping past can be forgiven (and forgotten).
The other thing I'm trying to do better is to not get so frustrated at other drivers. I get so upset when I get cut off, or tailgated, or if someone doesn't keep a consistent speed (cruise control is almost impossible in Utah). The solution? I imagine the other drivers as family members, rather than just "the red audi" or "the old people." Thinking about them as someone's son, someone's daughter, someone's grandma gives me more patience with them, and I can laugh at their terrible driving rather than get upset.
Something Lance and I need to work on together is spending money. Actually, I think I can say that we are extremely good with our money... but both of us got our hours cut at work. Lance is no longer allowed overtime, and I am only getting 35 hours a week (rather than 40). Overall it's about a $800 loss per month. That is seriously a lot of money. I did the math (took our new monthly income and subtracted our bills) and well... let's just say it doesn't add up. So we've got to make some cuts. This is going to be a huge test of my faith in tithing, but I'm sure everything will be ok as long as I keep that faith strong.

♥♥♥ It's Called...Love
On my way to work today I was listening to the radio, as I always do, and today they had someone talking about how women should romance their husbands and not expect their husbands to romance them all of the time. It really hit me hard. I am terrible at being romantic, and I always expect my husband to be romantic. Anyway, they put in a plug for this great site with all sorts of tips and products and things on how to be romantic for your husband. I freaking love it! I would post the site on here, but I don't want Lancee to see. ☺
So, if you're curious, just let me know and I'll be happy to tell you the site!
One of my favorite things I found on the site was a quiz on whether or not your husband is a priority in your life or not. I for sure need to straighten some things out! I guess that happens after you're together for almost 7 years.
Last week I was dreading Valentine's Day and now I'm totally looking forward to it. I'm so excited!

Scraps of Love
I ♥ scrabooking. Seriously.
But I am so stinking behind it's not even funny!
I went over to Lance's parents' house on Monday to scrapbook with his mom while Lance and his dad went to the Jazz game. When I was gathering my stuff together to take it over there, I realized that I haven't developed pictures in months. Maybe even more!
I still need to scrapbook our engagement photos...

I still need to scrapbook our engagement photos...
and honeymoon photos...
Those were almost 2 years ago! 2 years for engagement, a little over 1.5 for honeymoon... so... yea that's slack for sure. Luckily, I have scrabooked our wedding photos, at least, most of the ones I wanted to scrapbook.
So guess what I ended up scrapbooking?
Our pictures from the Anniversary Inn, and our first trip to Disneyland together. Ok, so that's not as far back as our engagement or honeymoon, but it helps, right?
Oi! I still need to scrapbook Disney World and our 1 year anniversary photo shoot thing...
Scrapbook party anyone? We can have it at my house. I have a room dedicated to scrapbooking.
