Saturday is a special day

I forgot to post this on thankful thursday.  Whaaa? 

But f'real. Saturday was a really good day. I woke up to a text from a boy.  7 a.m. is a bit early to text someone, but I still kinda liked it when I was done being judging him. The world needs those early birds, right?


I got my trail mix and hiking fanny pack (yep I have a fanny pack) and met some friends for hiking.  The hike was pretty intense, but so beautiful.  Waterfall hikes are my favorite and this was the prettiest one I've seen in UT. It was amazing.

Laurel & I stopped by the f21 in sandy. (The best one). And I found a swimming suit that I love for $22 and a rad skirt for $13. Yes, please.  Laurel finally bought some mission shirts. High five to her!
I went home to shower and hurried to work... Aka the bee's game. I love my boss and my clients and definitely didn't mind getting paid to watch a live baseball game and eat pizza.  The clients had me laughing the whole time.  I crashed-I was so tired from being in the sun all day. Such a great day.

You smell like a Barbie

Skype is the best invention. Talking with Joey on the phone is good, but he is so much more talkative and funny on skype. I don't know why, but he loves it.  If I look away from the screen for a second, he is doing some cheesy pose.  Here is a great conversation from last week:

me: You better go get in the shower, dude.
joe: No! You get in the shower.
me. I already did.
joe: No you didn't. You smell like a Barbie. (rolls over on his back because he's laughing so hard)
me: What does that mean?
joe: (singing) I'm a barbie girl in a barbie world.


And another snippet from yesterday:

me:  You didn't tell me Jimbo was the new bishop
joe: oh yeah.  he is.
me: yeah, I know.  I read it on bib's blog, you crazy.

(5 minutes later, my mom came home and I heard her telling joey to tell me Jim was the bishop).

joe: I already told her, mom.
me: No you didn't!  I just told you how I found out.
joe: Anne, grow up.  I did tell you that already.

Thankful Thursday

I started a Thankful Thursday last week and wasn't even close to being done after 6 paragraphs. I couldn't keep my eyes open and nobody wants to read that, anyway. Needless to say, I am very happy right now.
I decided just to choose one thing to write about. My job. Everyday I feel so lucky I get to work here. I transferred to the SLC Turn. The old program was great, but this one is PERFECT for me. I don't know if I'll want to quit when I graduate.   I have 10 regular clients and I've been trained to sub with others.  Things are more chill here and most of the time I just get paid to take clients on fun activities.  So far we've been to parks, museums, picnics, etc.  Probably 75% of the pictures I've taken in the last year are of/with my clients, but we can't put them online. I understand why they have those rules, but I kinda wish I could post some. I guess pictures from our field trips will do. The clients are the best people.  Looking forward to work is a good feeling.  Helping people who really need it is the best feeling. Everyday at my job confirms this is what I should be doing.  When doing what makes you happy is the same thing as doing what you should, double happiness happens.

And I really really love not working on Sunday anymore.
