I Love Being Warm

I really hate being cold, but I LOVE to be warm. I'm the proud owner of not one, but two Snuggies and I must say, they are awesome. I can be warm while watching TV AND texting, or playing Wii or doing any number of great activities. I also love my electric blanket which preheats my bed for me. I love to be behind the super warm heater when it's freezing in the mornings. Ah...I just love to be warm.

And this concludes my month of Loves. I only missed two days, but my guilt made me make up for them and I ended up posting all 28 times. It was so fun to tell everyone about the things I love. There are so many more that couldn't fit into the time frame, but so it goes.

I love February and the whole Valentine's Day romance and love theme. I'm so glad we have Valentine's Day every year to remember to show everyone that we love them. I'm excited to do it all again next year. I'm excited to see what March brings and I hope it's as great as February was. I also hope that I'll keep up with posting so often. It's fun to write about life and get everyone's comments.

Thanks all for reading! And keep posting, because I love to read your blogs. 

I Love the Ottesens

Evan's family is so good to me and I'm happy that they accepted me into their family. I love toeat dinner, play games, or just hang out with them.

I love that Cory can explain all of Evan's physics and math questions and that he is so kind and fun to be around. I love cooking and talking with Maureen and hearing her funny stories about kindergarten.

I love getting letters from Casey every week, they make me happy. I'm so proud of him for going on a mission. Mitchell is so fun to hang out  with and I love that he shares my love of games. Max always makes me laugh and I love talking on the couch with him while we wait for Evan and Cory to be done talking about math or physics. And of course, I love Evan because he's amazing and he's the best husband a girl could ask for.

I got pretty lucky when it comes to in-laws and I'm so grateful to have the Ottesens in my life.

I Love the City Skyline

I love seeing the Albuquerque skyline after a very long drive home. I had such a great time in California and I'm so sad that my sisters don't live closer. But it's sure good to see home and know that I won't have to be in the car too much longer. Plus the city lights look so pretty when you come in from the west. It's like a big valley of treasure.

Anyway, super fun trip. I love my new niece. She's so tiny and beautiful in real life. Can't wait to see her and the rest of my family again soon.

I Love Crafting

I never thought I would utter those words. If you knew me 5 or 6 years ago, you'd know why. But I love to make crafty things! Last night my sisters and I all sat around Kellie's kitchen table and sewed up stuffed animals, blankets, made hair bands and hair flowers and we had so much fun! I loved it. I love looking at things and figuring out if I could make it myself and I usually can, it's just the motivation part that stops me from actually doing it. If any of my fun friends want to have a craft night, I'd love to have an invite. And no, I didn't just invite myself. You were going to invite me anyway, right?

I Love to Travel

I love to travel. It seems like we're always out of town and it's because we are. I just drove to California with my dad yesterday and we had so much fun listening to books on CD, talking and eating road trip food. I love that in NM we have so many great places within a 3-4 hour drive. I love going to Colorado for a quick cabin trip, or California to see my sisters. I've been to so many amazing places like Georgia, Florida, Mexico, Canada, New York, etc. I love to see new places and see all of the things I've always heard about. I can't wait to visit all over Europe, New Zealand, Australia, parts of Asia, Africa, the rest of the US. I want to see it all! I love to travel.

Want to go on a trip?

I Love Kid History Episode 1


I LOVE this video. It makes me laugh so hard. I think about it sometimes and just laugh out loud by myself. I love the part where he says, "I'm gonna punch...your car" and when he goes to the park, and the door, and then goes potty, and when Randy doesn't have any Barbie toys. I just love the whole thing. Evan and I are constantly quoting it and it still makes me laugh. If you haven't watched it yet, please, partake of the hilarity.

They have two other episodes that are quite humorous, but I think the first one is by far the funniest.

I Love My Friends

My friends are some of the best people on Earth! Whether they're in China, Alaska, Utah, New Mexico, or anywhere else, I love them so much. I love the memories I have with friends from the present and past, the fun times we've had that I can always look back and and be happy about. I love having a movie night or a game night or just hanging out and talking. My friends are so much fun and I'm so thankful that I have all of them in my life.
