What have I been doing since I've been home?? School, yep I'm back at it again. Work, yay preschool! And trips, trips to visit my brother and his cute wife and kids in Colorado and a trip back to Phoenix of course. I just cant stay away.

I loved this family to death!
No one quite beat the Mays



This guy had great faith



Well, it's a little bit late to be saying this, but I'm home!! My mission meant everything to me, and I was truly able to see lives changed and hearts lifted through the infinite power of the atonement. What a spiritual rush! These are just a few pictures of my grand adventure.

ARIZONA

I got my call!! I'm going to Phoenix Arizona mission! I'm so stoked. Didn't i once write on this page that i'm going to move to Arizona?? I'm pretty sure i did. Apparently i wasn't lying. I've got to go get ready for work, but more later!

Just ask Stef

So the other day, i had a great desire to write on here about something amazing. To my dismay, I realized that i have a pretty repetitive life, and in consequence to that, i could not think of anything awesome enough to write about. Pathetically enough, i couldn't even brain storm anything fun to write about, so what did i do? I asked my sister of course. Here was her response. ...
"Dearest Penelope Kaddidlehopper,
Such topics might include, breath mints, sunscreen, eyeliner, one's inability to swallow a pill, but can down a whole strawberry, banana splits, mustard on potato chips, what subjects one is taking at school, daycare/preschool faux paus, turtle necks, The joys of being related to someone named Stefanie, a dog, a horse and an elephant too, the value of a tomato, holes in ones socks, flip flops, random pains in the buttox, tinsel, paper plates, gizmos and gadgets, the 6 cutest kids you ever met in your whole gosh-darn existence.... there are many more in this plethora if you desire further assistance.
Thank you for your ongoing contact, and updates. Enjoy your day and good health to you.
Best of Luck,
Stefanie"


Of course i'm going to have to write about all of these topics now. So get excited! Awesome blogs coming soon! -Sam

Yay music!

Alright, so I've been listening to my itunes for way too long now, but i've decided there are some great songs out there. Because i'm incredibly bored, a loser and for some reason wide awake ... I decided to make a list of the top twenty best ones. Just incase you ever need a good song to listen to.

1. Beautiful day by u2 (This one is my all time favorite song. It can always put you in the best mood)
2. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve- Also a happy beat
3. Wasted by Cartel. (Pretty much anything by them makes for a great listen)
4 Not me by Aida
5. Shilo by Neil Diamond (Yes i did just suggest a song by Neil Diamond)
6. The sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkle
7 One headlight by the wallflowers
8. Make me over -lifehouse
9.Chocolate -Snow Patrol (I'm not sure why it's called Chocolate though)
10. Faithfully -Journey
11. My old Friend -Tim Mcgraw
12. The River of dreams -Billy Joel (Of course any song by Billy Joel pretty much rocks my socks)
13. Savin me -Nickelback
14. Acoustic #3 -Goo Goo Dolls
15. Six feet -Creed
16. Dream Big -Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band.
17. Elenor Rigby -The Beatles.

OCD?

So, I got tagged. I'm supposed to write about 6 things i'm ocd about. This should be fun..

1. I constantly have to be washing my hands, and if i don't have soap and water near by, i use hand sanitizer. (even though, i know it doesn't always get rid of the germs, it's more of a security feeling) I have hand sanitizer on my keys, in my purse, on my desk, and at my work.

2. I hate it when the toilet paper roll goes under. It has to go over the top, and if i ever come to your house for a visit and it rolls under, i will fix it for you.

3. My closet... it's arranged in two rows. The first row is my short sleeved shirts. They all face one way and they are arranged by color. It goes red/pink, orange, yellow, green, blue purple, then to stripes, brown, white, gray, and black, and then any miscellaneous. The second row is the same, but it is with my long sleeved shirts. It has to be this way, and if one shirt is out of place, it bugs me and i fix it right away

4. When i put a pan on the stove, the handle always has to go to the right, no matter what burner it is on.

5. When i go up or down the stairs, i always have to count them.

6. If something is on display at a grocery store or something, and one of the items is turned or crooked I always want to fix it. If i have the time I will fix it. If I don't have the time and i don't fix it, it haunts me the rest of the day.

I choose to tag Brooke, Stef, and Kayla on this, and anyone else that feels like doing it
