Blogs, Names, Breaks

ATTENTION ALL BLOGGER FRIENDS.

I have created a new blog. A "future" blog, you could say.

I'm not really sure when I'll start updating it. And if I'll keep this one.

It's all up in the air.

But the URL for the new one is...

katieandtysonperkes.blogspot.com

Yes, folks. It's a married person blog. OR an almost married person one.

I promise it will still be super cool and hip and not too ordinary. We'll spice it up. Maybe we'll get Tyson into blogging a little too! Ha.

But it'll be goodness, because there is something so joyous about hearing my name as Katie Perkes! Like a little school girl feeling come true. :)

I love it!

Anyway, just a heads up on the new blog in my life. I'll let you know when it officially is up and running!

Happy finals week to those of you taking finals. I can't wait for Thursday! I'm going to be doing some SERIOUS celebrating. Probably like, Christmas shopping and Laundry. But really, T and I better have some Martinelli's and notebook burning or something. A break from school is always much needed and this time, nothing is different!

Yay for Christmas. Yay for Christmas Break. Not yay for the snow, but we'll deal. Beggars can't be choosers. Right?

Life is good! Actually, SO good. I find myself thinking that every single day. There is something that keeps on reminding me how good I have it, in little sneaky ways. I'm so glad too, because sometimes I temporary forget. So it always feels so good to get those reminders.

I'm so pleased with life! I can't wait for the future, but I'm really content with the present.

There isn't much more to say but that life is good!

Stay tuned for Christmas events and future happenings the exciting life of Katie Ann Clyde (almost Perkes)... :)

Below: my thoughts on finals and school at this moment in time.

BOOOOO!

BUT, I still am loving life. See?

Long Overdue...

Here's the thing. I know this is long overdue (hence the title). But I wanted to share some pictures and tell about our adventures from Thanksgiving weekend.

I had an EXCELLENT Thanksgiving weekend. So good, that I didn't even have time to blog.

Okay, that is probably a lie. I know I time, but I was relaxing and being lazy- therefore, I didn't blog.

BUT today I am with several items. Mostly with one last gratitude post and some pictures from the weekend!

Our weekend had the following things:

- Lots of good food, including a homemade turkey dinner by my momma that was delish.

- The movie The Blind Side (go see it. so good)!

- Chilling/Sleeping in/Naps: it was a vacation, technically, so that's all allowed.

- My old roommate Hannah's wedding reception, so nice!

- BYU vs Utah game. Including sideline passes 3rd quarter. It was awesome! (Right T? He loved it too!... Thanks Dad!)

- The whole fam gathering for a picture and some steak dinner.

Overall, it was a way fun weekend! I loved the break. It was much needed!

So since I missed my gratitude post the last few days of the month, I'll do a summary of a few things I'm sincerely grateful for in my life:

- Family. My own and my future in-laws. They are all wonderful and loving people! I'm excited to spend some more quality time with them over the next big break!

- The Gospel. It is my saving grace and my true happiness. I love it. Click HERE for more.

- Tyson. The best fiance ever! I don't just say that. He's the greatest there is! I'm a lucky gal.

- Photography. I love taking pictures. I love looking at pictures. They capture the good times in life. The happiness we all feel! I love it.

- Blankets, pillows, socks, coats, sweats, heaters, slippers, snuggies, etc. I love to be comfy and during this winter months, WARM. I'm grateful I get to be warm whenever I want to be!

- Music. It makes me really happy! Whether it's an 80's classic, a christmas tune or a hymn.... I love it all! They are all the best.

-Sunshine. I love when the sun shines. I love summer. I love being warm. I love everything about the sun! It is greatness.

-FOOD. It's just so good. I love it. I really do. It's a problem, I'm a food-aholic. Too delish!

Okay, I know there is a lot more that I am grateful for, but that's all I'll share. Those are the main ones anyway! :)

It was a great break from school. Luckily, only one more week! Just gotta ace those finals and then I'm on to enjoy a long, luxurious Christmas vacation! It won't be warm, but will be solid.

Life is good. The end.

I have the best fiance ever.

Not just saying that. And I know everyone thinks that. But I really do have THE best one.

You know the kind who will drive out to see you when you are sick, bring you a heating pad and who will practically hold your hair when you are hunched over the toilet throwing up? He's right there behind you flushing it down and making you drink water to hydrate.

Seriously. The best one ever.

Thanks T, for being my personal nurse last night.
