this blog is usually reserved for happy things

i don't like to whine and complain on the internet, but maybe its needed occasionally

i am not that great with words, but this picture sums up my feelings pretty well.

yes i should think of all my blessings, but i don't want to right now

yes i should get my grumpy butt to bed, but instead i act like child who tries to stay up even if they are exhausted and will most likely fall asleep on the living room floor. (why do kids/I do that?)

why am i so indecisive, stubborn, prideful and try and push away my hubby when he is only trying to help?

why do i cry over tiny things and can't over things that i really should? why the freak am i writing this all on the Internet?

and WHY did have i let the lady's convo i over heard on the shuttle to Idaho last week bother me so much? It's her life and marriage and boyfriendS, why do i care? i guess i don't, its just the principle. Combined with the U.S divorce rate and the worlds worst movie EVER "Eat Pray Love" okay not worst movie ever i did enjoy the traveling part but the message seriously horrible/worst. okay this tangent about how the world disregards something as great as marriage has nothing to do with anything. sorry back to my whining...

i hate that friends grow apart

i hate feeling incompetent

i hate hearing bad news AND watching the "news" it's scary/depressing

okay i scratched the surface, don't expect to see a post like this for a long long time.

travel bug

i have it

BAD

it consumes much of my thoughts

and way too much of my down time looking at travels sites and blogs.

I just want to go everywhere and see everything.

I have this list

it's long

no i am not showing it to you

its too long

this week i made my self condense it to a top 20 which turned in to 21

On a travel site i was on today i learned that SLC is #15 on the most visited tourist destinations in america list, thought that was pretty cool.

15. Temple Square, Salt Lake City, UT

Temple Square is the most popular attraction in the state with five million annual visitors. This ten-acre block located in the middle of downtown Salt Lake City is Utah’s number one tourist attraction.

The Mormon church’s headquarters are here, but Temple Square is more than just a destination for Latter Day Saints.

Tavern on the Bay

I am missing the fall season. The chilly air and bundling up in layers but this 85 degree weather is really helping ease the pain of not having an autumn season. It is PERFECT outside right now. Saturday night we went to a cute little place right on the bay for dinner called Harrisons Landing-Tavern on the Bay for a surprise birthday party with a bunch of the families from Ryan's office. We had a nice walk down the pier passing all of the boats to get the the restaurant where we enjoyed a lovely dinner on the deck. It was a good night in Corpus Christi.

downtown corpus christi

us.

i always get nervous walking over water.

boats.boats.boats.

a must read

Church Responds to HRC Petition

A great reminder that the LDS church is based on love, the church's persecution in it's early years, and the church's stance on same-sex attraction.
