2.5 million dollars!!

Funny story, at work one day a co-work of mine gets a call saying his won 2.5 million dollars!! …. Now of course it was a scam! :P But it got me thinking of what I would do with that much money! There are endless possibilities.

I often wish money weren’t a problem I had to deal with, and that I had endless cash and never had to worry if I would run out....Somethings I wish I could do if that were the case, are fix up my families house and just totally re-do it. I think we have a nice house but there just little things and I would love to put a swimming pool in the back yard! Then there are just all kinds of little things I want/need: A new swimsuit, camera, and clothes, music, games, movies…. on and on! I also would really like to move out, but theres the cost to have a place, utilities, and food, ect.

In the past I have not been good at saving, however I am working on it, now half my paycheck goes in to savings the other half in checking. I also have slacked on paying my tithing not something I’m proud of at all…well I straighten my act up and paid ALL my tithing go back to January. Which really was hard it was a fair amount of money and left me with very little spending money…practically broke this passed two weeks. However last week I had my review for my job…and my boss said his going to try and give me more shifts! Woo Hoo! So this week I will have worked 4 days instead of my normal 2. And I get paid on Friday so I can start doing stuff again and not have to have others pay for me….

I want to know what you would do if you won 2.5 million dollars?!

Growing Up

I’m not so fond of this age and growing up. I miss when things were simpler. It feel’s to me like so many people are moving on with their life’s without me and/or I’m not moving on.
Some friends are on missions, others are preparing for a mission. Others are getting married.

I obviously don’t have a ton of contact with friend that are on missions. Yes there is letter writing but that is not quit the same. I’ve very glad I have friends serving missions however I miss them and the time I got to spend with them it’s hard going from seeing them all the time to not seeing them and sharing experiences together. I can’t help but be reminded of things we did together in the past and think of the things we could be doing.

Katie and Mandy are talking and preparing for missions. I’m happy and sad for that. Mission just brings a lot of mixed emotions. I’m not sure how I will be able to deal with life when they are gone also. It will be very hard that’s for sure!

Now I’ve had a good amount of friends get married, after all that’s part of life. It’s fun to watch them be in love and start a new family however most of it I watch from a distance and it really doesn’t affect me too much. It’s a little different when it’s one of your best friends! I’m very happy for Sherstin and Anthony don’t get me wrong it’s just another life change for some reason she would rather be with Anthony then me! I just don’t get it! Haha Ok yes I do, or at least I try to. However that is just another friend I’m losing, yes she does at least live in the same state as I do but that does not mean I spend much time with her. Since I use to hangout with her usually once a week at least and now I’m lucky if it’s once a month, I’m gratefully for the time I do get to hangout with her I just miss the way things were.

I’m sure everyone goes though challenges of growing up (at least I hope they do so I’m not alone.) It’s part of life and I hope to look back in a few years and maybe miss life like this.
Just a note: I thought about leaving names out for others sake but decided not to, I think it’s better just to be honest and open. I hope this does not make anyone upset or come back to bit me in the butt. It’s just how I feel.
