just a coupla things.

  • we now have candy canes instead of tiger pops at the credit union, which can only mean one thing, christmas is here! without a doubt christmas is my most favorite time of year! i just want to soak in every minute of this season.
  • i generally shy away from fashion blogs and posts because who am i to say what one should or shouldn't wear. fashion is all about finding out what you like and what works for you... however, after a weekend shopping with my sisters i have just one thing to say. ed hardy and juicy couture are a serious DON'T! ok, i'm done.
  • i love, and i mean love my job. {at least most the time} i can see the lord's hand in me ending up where i am, thank goodness for unanswered prayers.
  • the sweet lady i work in nursery with called me yesterday to invite me over to sunday dinner. you see, she has two single sons she wants to line me up with and wanted me to come over so i could decided on whom i wanted to go out with. that was just a little too weird for me, so i politely declined. her efforts are appreciated though.
  • i bought the "color code" book at the d.i. a few months ago. {you know, the one that tells you if you are a red, blue, white, or yellow}  i have been making everyone i know take it! the simple joys.
  • running has come to a screeching halt! i ran a 5k on thanksgiving and nearly died... i need to get my sorry butt running, i. just. don't. want. to!
  • something is wrong with the breaks on my car and i just don't want to take it in because i know they are going to tell me they can fix it for a coupla hundred dollars. i hate owning a car. money pit.
  • i paid $3.12 for gas tonight, that was a welcome surprise.
  • i was in st. george last week and didn't even get a 25 and main cupcake, what?!
  • it's safe to say i over spent this past weekend. why can't money grow on trees? i would like the record to show that if i did have a money tree i would share it's fruits with all you fine people!
  • my father, brothers, and brother-in-laws are a reminder of the caliber of men that are out there.
  • it always amazes me how much i love me nieces and nephews. i can't imagine loving anyone more than i love those kids. i'm probably going to burst when i have my own sweet babies.
  • sometimes i'm in awe with all that i am blessed with, i don't know what i did to deserve all that i have been given, but i am so grateful.
  • my name is brooke jensen, and i am a mormom. {have you guys seen those new commercials? i love them, and secretly want to be in one.}
  • does anyone else find it ironic that neil diamond is jewish and has a christmas album? just something to think about.
that's it ya'll! have a happy week!

Love your coupla things. I don't blame you for sitting out on the scope-out-your-favorite-brother dinner. I never understood the whole meet him before you are set up with him thing...

And I agree with you on the juicy/Ed hardy bit...also on the color code love. I can't get enough of that thing and Brian couldn't care less about it.

Happy Christmasing. Xo

Love you so much. Loved spending the weekend with you. I'm ready for another MAC trip. When's it going to happen. Can't wait for Thursday.

And for crying out loud, get your brakes fixed woman! What happens when you're on your way to see me in P.Town and they go out on you?

I enjoyed this. I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. I am so jealous you were in StG. I haven't been down there for a year! Glad to hear things are going good! Loves.

Can I just tell you how much I loved this post... first off Neil, he is a classy jewish man so he can do that. Second lets send an email too the mormon.org website and they can do a mini series on mormon girls called the wasatch front.. I am doing it right now.
