Selling My Blood

I want to start off by apologizing in advance to anyone who is grossed out by this picture. But this is what I have been doing with my life 2 times every week. I'm still trying to save up some money for this trip to Ukraine and while it has been a struggle I am doing whatever it takes to make the money. So here I am, donating my plasma. But hey it makes me $80 a week just to let them drain blood from my body for a few hours. Seems worth it to me right? Although the first time I almost passed out because I had my legs crossed. I think that it is a great time to kinda relax and read a book.

Girft Of Tongues

This box holds the gift of tongues. Okay not really, it holds lots and lots of candy inside; such as pop rocks, push pop, warheads ect. But I made this for my missionary who is going to San Bernardino California Spanish speaking. I found it on pinterest, of course. Where else would I get my creativity from? But I was pretty happy with how it turned out and just wanted to share it with all of you. For those of you who are not Mormon, that's okay. We believe that the lord helps missionaries learn the language faster and know what to say when they don't and that is what we call the gift of tongues. It's a pretty cool thing. He has only been gone for 2 weeks and is already teaching lessons in spanish and even has a baptism date set! I am so proud of him and so thankful for the blessings the lord has given me. This gospel is the most important thing in my life and it is so great to see him sharing it and blessing others lives with it. 

Snail Mail

Hello there handsome. No not you, him, the missionary. Sorry.
If you follow my blog then you already know who this is. Elder Graff is doing great and working hard. I wanted to reward all his hard work and help motivate him a little bit so I put together this package with lots of candy that had motivational and spiritual sayings. I haven't heard back from him yet to hear how he likes it but I'm sure it will be a great surprise to get in the mail! It was so easy and fun to put together too!

Clean Away

Who knew organizing could be so much fun? Since I have been home and desperately trying to find a job but desperately failing I don't have much to do with my day. I'm like a stay at home mom, but with no children. With all this free time on my hands I decided to do something worth while with it and organize our junk closet. Which I'm proud to say is no longer the junk closet. It was fun reminiscing through all my old games and throwing out all the tiny things that I can no longer wear or that are just extremely dated and ugly. I filled about 6 trash bags up with stuff to either donate or throw out. I haven't decided what I want to organize next but I'm thinking why not tackle the who house? The entire goodwill is just going to be stuff from the Brown household.

Age 10 All Over Again

Are we 10 or are we 18? We weren't sure so we decided to go with 10 and transform my bedroom into a tundra of blankets and pillows. Otherwise know as a fort. Man it was a lot of work though. I forgot how hard it is to get sheets so stay where you want them. But let me tell you, everything you do in your room is much more cool when your room is now a fort. We took a quick run to winco to pick up some arizonas. We went to get one for Elder Graff but decided since we were watching all of his and ryans rap videos on youtube we should have some for ourselves in honor of them. As much fun as we had though, the cat was not a fan of the redecoration of the bedroom. Nights like this really make me wish I could never grow up.
