1. My amazing family and friends. They truly have been there for me through the thick and the thin. They are the ones I can count on for a good laugh or a good cry.
2. My puppy dog Lexie. She is non-athletic, clumsy and lovable. I couldn't imagine my life without her. She is a golden who can't retrieve.
3. Ed, my boyfriend, he's truly amazing!
4. I love my job, I can't always says it's 100 % great, but I love helping others and also getting to use my degree in dietetics is an added bonus.
5. I love the seasons. I will have admit summer is my all time favorite - but every season is special to me in its own way.
6. Traveling has always been something I have loved. I love sight seeing and venturing out to hole in the wall restaurants to eat. I would love to visit all 50 states in my life time!
7. I love my hobbies of reading, scrapbooking, working out, skiing, canoeing and the list continues. I don't use the word "bored" in my vocabulary because hobbies keep me from ever being bored.
8. Music is something I never really got into until the past 5 to 10 years and now I love it. I am not musically talented and all I can play is the radio and my Ipod. I have became so addicted to my Ipod that I can spend hours on Itunes searching for old stuff I listened to in high school to up and coming artists.
9. I love fashion. I am completely addicted to fashion shows, magazines and cute boutiques. (Will admit it all started with a Coach purse my mom and dad got me for my birthday)
10. I love life. You are only given one and it's yours to choose what you want to do with it and if you live it to it's fullest. Unfortunately my mom was taken too early in my and many others eyes but while she was here she loved her life and never took anyone or any day for granted. It's taught me to not sweat the small stuff and truly focus and what matters.

Valentines Weekend
After a pretty stressful and tiring week I was looking forward to a relaxing, fun weekend.
Friday after I finished running errands I met Kevin, Karen, Katie and Tanner out at BW's for dinner. It was a fun time of unwinding and socializing. Saturday proved to be just as much fun as Friday night. We made dinner from the fixings we bought at Fresh Market (highly recommend this place and I will definitely be returning). Together Ed and I made cheesy hashbrown casserole from the Cracker Barrel recipe and he pan fried our beef steaks stuffed with portabello and mozzarella. We ended the evening relaxing in the hot tub drinking wine.
Today I got to go see Cirque du Soleil's Saltimbanco at Conseco Fieldhouse. (Ed's Valentines gift to me) This is the second show of this type I have seen live and loved it. The first show I saw was Mystere in Las Vegas. To see their strength and acrobatic skills just amaze me.
Overall no complaints about this weekend, honestly I couldn't have asked for anything better.
On a side note, not sure if you all are interested in podcasts but if you get a chance and like to hear topics of every genre along with music from http://www.garageband.com/ check out http://www.manfb.com/.

News!
Since I have last blogged I got some exciting news in regards to my job. As you know I have been making the hour commute to and from Marion for going on 6 years. And of course this year with Indiana's (Colorado) like weather - my commutes have been extremely long and tiring. In December at my all state conference I received word that Ashley (the Kokomo supervisor) decided not to return after maternity leave -- leaving Kokomo's Supervisor position vacant. I honestly didn't get my hopes up because I have applied for the position 2x before and wasn't offered because they 1st had to fill my position in Marion... My boss asked if I was interested (umm heck ya I was) so I asked for a transfer. It was granted in January and I am hoping to be completely switched over in the next two months. With the transfer I will be in charge of the largest caseload in my agency (our agency consists of Howard, Cass, Clinton, Tipton, Hamilton and Grant Co) as well as the most employees. I am excited for the new challenges that await! Until then - it's training, organizing and seeing clients!
