The Little Things

You know those times where for some odd reason (and you never can quite put your finger on it) your body is just sore? Your neck tenses up and life is just SO UNCOMFORTABLE! The pain feels like your carrying an extra load on top of your shoulders and everything tenses up. I HATE THAT!!! Well that's what I was feeling like today. It was horrible. I had to get rid of it. I was getting desperate.

I became so desperate I asked my friend Micah (who I had heard from the girls next door that he had an infamous Micah-ssage that could cure anything) and pleaded with him to help me in my pain.

Well this blog is about the people who (I'm sure in their mind) do something small for you... but in that moment it meant the world! I have a new love and appreciation for my good friend Micah for helping me out in my pain and misery. There is just a love there now that wasn't there before. No, but seriously. Sometimes, it's just the little things that mean a lot.

Here are some other little things that just bring a smile to my face:

• When my mom dances (and dances off beat)

• Cheesy movies like:

Anne of Green Gables

Rigeletto

Darby O Gill and the Little People

• The Spanish Channel

• Over weight animals (I have a soft spot for them)

• My blankey

• Nuns

• Seeing my little sister perform

• People watching (and listening in to random conversations)

• Ordering my groceries online

• When people just randomly stop by "just to say hi"

• Crazy homeless people

• Thank you notes

• Gentlemen

• Playing Mafia with my brothers, sisters, mom, dad, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and cousin-in-laws

• Road trips with your very best friend

• Crazy fun nights with "Bonzo"
  

• When the toilet over flows in your ghetto apartment and you make your room mate pose for a picture and she steps in it.

• My cousins
  

• The smell after it rains

• Weekly inspirational personal text messages from my Bishop with words of encouragement

• When people comment on my blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The not-so-boring BLOG

So I just read my cousin, Jacob's blog and I realized my blog is dull - boring, WAHH WAHHH.

** thumbs down **

As much as I know you all love me, I know you don't really want to hear about my Ward and my Marathon antics... or at least not all of the time. Reading my cousin Jacob and Kirsten's blog I realized how W I T T Y our family is. Really, and truly.


I hereby proclaim that this blog shall no longer be boring. And if I get a boyfriend or a Fiance (HA!) like my best friend Lauren Groseclose (also known as Summey) my blog will not be forgotten.

With that note made, if any of you have any good, young, (1) strapping young men that would be okay with my fun, spontaneous, quirky personality and don't mind the occasional game of Halo here and there, please fill out an application. Or, simply leave a comment... or even better... set me up!!!!!!!!

***Notes***
(1) Definition of strapping:

A.

powerfully built; robust.

B.

large; whopping.

C. Handsome, kind, gentle, good with kids. Generally is going somewhere in life.
D. Healthy in stature. (But if he is missing a toe or a finger I can look past that)
E. Empathetic
F. (In reference to definition "E") But not a sissy. Must be able to play sports with my brothers and cousins.
G. Must pass in an interview with father. (Please note that so called "interview" will not be formal or set up in any way. It takes place the moment the father figure sets eyes upon you)

Things that help with the Father interview:

1. Degree or current enrollment at the following Universities:

• A: BYU
• B: Brigham Young University
• C: BYU
• D: BYUI (But two years at any of the three previous schools mentioned would help)
• E: BYU Hawaii (Only if you are of Hawaiian/Samoan background and intend to play one of the following sports: Football. In which case you should be playing at University A, B or C... so that one is really on a case by case basis.

2. Eagle Scout

3. Took part in more than two extra curricular activities in High School.
(Note: Student Government gets you bonus points.)

4. Currently has a job

5. Served a Full time Mission

6. Is a BYU fan (If also a Braves Fan father may unintentionally favor you more)

7. Pays for his own schooling/car/phone/fiances etc. (Why? Because my dad did. And he likes it like that)

8. Must love me unconditionally. (But refrain from excessive P.D.A {Public Display of Affection} in front of the Parentals)

9. Can play Scrabble. And not just play... but really play.

10. Knows how to play Rook or is willing to learn and play often. After a six month period trial of learning must be able to play somewhat well or everything will be called off.

11. Is good at directions. (My father knows me well and knows that I am lacking in this area significantly)

12. Must be willing to invest in various projects that my father see's fit (but usually he would end up on top on this one because my father is GENIUS)

Please note: These are only things that would help with the father interview. I, however, am not that picky... so please don't be afraid to set me up on dates. You can submit up to 3 men per person. Thank you. I look forward to hearing from everyone.

Sincerely,
Candy Anderson
