It was my birthday last week and I got to celebrate for several days. The weekend before we went to West Yellowstone with Brandon's family and I couldn't have asked for a better trip. The boys went fishing while we girls went shopping, to the West Yellowstone museum and into the park for a day. Our day in the park was so relaxing and fun. We had huckleberry ice cream and hung out at the old faithful inn after a yummy lunch and i bought a christmas ornament and an adorable stuffed fox. I have a stuffed animal problem. Im not afraid to admit this problem I've loved them my whole life. Sometimes it takes everything i have not to buy them and sometimes I give in and buy myself a birthday present stuffed fox. On my actual birthday Brandon and i went to dinner and then to Costco so we could buy a coffee table book with pictures of the west with little stories about the picture. I really like it. Next weekend we're celebrating my moms Brandon's and my birthday.
Now for my random thought. I have a friend who wrote a very positive blog post about her new baby. At first i sort of thought oh come on it cant be so great but then i thought shes really great for posting this. Why dont more of us say positive things about the things and people we love the most. Obviously she mentioned it wasnt always easy but at least she was grateful and positive. Before we got married everyone told me how terrible marriage is that i actually wrote a list of all the things i love about brandon so that if it got as bad as everyone said it is then i would always remember why i love my husband. Guess what, it never got bad, so why do we always say negative things. Is it because we dont want to be the person who says my life is great? Is it because were truly unhappy? If thats the case then im sorry but heres my thought, maybe if we see someone is happy we shouldn't say negative things just because we are not. anyway thats my thought for the day. We should all (myself included) try to say good and positive things about the people we love even if they are bugging us :-)

I love your random thought. So many of my friends bag on their husbands and on how bratty their kids are etc. and I always wonder why they do that. I love thinking back on my childhood and knowing that I never ever heard my mom say a bad thing about any of her children or my dad (at least not in front of us) and I want to be just like that.
