I think it's time for a thoughts post

• I'm listening to the radio and they're doing a panel of single guys that single girls are asking questions to regarding what they need to do to get single guys (in general) attention. I had to turn it off, I was really just saddened by the whole "game" that is played out there. And I mean, the LDS World of Dating is TOTALLY different than non-LDS because well, it's kind of assumed that eventually you will have sex with that person... and I don't mean AFTER marriage. I don't want to go on and on, because then this wouldn't be a "thoughts" blog post, it would be a one thought post... but I am SO grateful that I didn't have experience a lot of jerks before I met my ONE, Ryan. I am glad he is a good guy and that it didn't take long to know he was THE ONE. And I'm glad I'm married, not that it's an easy thing... but I just really hated dating.
• Yesterday as I was looking out the window of the building I work in, I was watching the cars go by and then (this may sound utterly ridiculous) I remembered that those weren't just cars, that was a whole bunch of people that just DROVE their cars past me. People going to work, or the doctor, or home, people who lived and breathed just like me. Sometimes I feel very in my own world, and very much like me and Ryan and Ben are like almost the only ones in it and the other people we come in contact with everyday are part of it- but I mean, I don't really see too many other people than that in my everyday life. And I just have moments when I realize that Heavenly Father has so many millions of children and he still loves each of us individually and a lot. Cool huh? Okay, maybe just to me.
• I'm glad January is almost over. I am starting to be super ready for Spring and warmer happier weather soon. Or at least for the land to look greener.
• I love all my brothers and sisters so much. I am so lucky to have them to look up to.
• I'm pretty sure that they put new toilet seats in our restroom here. Nice!
• Does anyone else (whose had a baby) feel random "Phantom Kicks" occasionally? NO, I'm not pregnant... I'm just really curious because I do all the time. Maybe I'm just more aware of movement in there since having a kid! HA! Or as my friend here at work calls it "BG's" for Bubble Guts!
• Continuing about the Radio, Q100 here in Atlanta kind of sucks when it comes to the music they play. One day I kept track of one of the songs they play all the time, they seriously played it every 45 mins to an hour. I have the emails to Ryan telling him it was on again to prove it. Take it off the loop people!
• Sometimes... there's nothing better than a plain ol' Hershey's Kiss. Just the plain Milk Chocolate. All by itself. Sometimes I suck on them and let them melt, sometimes I like to just chomp away. Good stuff.
• I am SO grateful for friends. I am a very blessed person. I just love how comfortable Ben is around "Ashee" and "Caco" (Jacob) and how loving they are towards him. Same with ("Kint") Clint and Jen and the Burkes and the Eltons, and all of our other friends.
• I can't believe just how shy Ben is sometimes. Ashley totally called it yesterday, she said he is totally fine around grown ups for the most part but gets SUPER timid and shy around other little kids. He reminds me so much of Ryan sometimes!
• My goal this year is not to just do Ben updates on the blog... but to write more. Even if no one reads these things anymore. Seems like almost everyone does their stuff on Facebook anymore. I still like to read blogs though!
