Your Favorite TV Shows.

Oh boy, oh boy! There are so many; I don't know where to begin....First of all, we don't have cable. We don't even have local channels. We watch all of our shows either on Blu Ray after they come out or on Hulu during the season. [Hulu is amazing. Seriously! We love it.] It does make it a little difficult to be up to date on all of our favorites, but we manage alright.

1. Grey's Anatomy. I have watched it since the beginning & I love it. I love the characters, the drama, the story, everything.
2. Bones. Oh Bones! I can't WAIT for the new season. November 3rd cannot get here soon enough!
3. The Mentalist. We have seen season 1-3, but have not been able to catch any of the current season. [cbs.com kind of sucks for watching shows...just saying.] It's amazing though. My dad turned us on to it & we love it!
4. Parks & Rec. Need I say more?
5. 30 Rock. Amazing. Tina Fey is basically a genius & we laugh our butt's off every episode.
6. Raising Hope. We just recently found this on Netflix & we love it. We've decided we must really be redneck hicks deep down, because of how much we enjoy everything that happens in the show.
7. The Office....I used to REALLY love The Office, but I feel like they've been really trying to stretch it out for a while. Who knows if it'll stay on my list forever.
8. Person of Interest. This is a new one that just started this year & we love it! Holy moly. Reese basically loves Jim Caviezel & it's BEN from Lost, so you can't really go wrong there.
9. How I Met Your Mother. That's another one we have watched since the beginning & we love the characters, but come on guys - show us the mother already!
10. The Big Bang Theory. Oh the nerds. They make us laugh! We love to laugh.

Alrighty, there's my pathetic little list of current shows that we watch. Now I'm going to get back to lounging around & watching TV on my Sunday afternoon! Enjoy yours & have a good week!

Your Job.

Oh rats. I promised I wasn't going to write about my job anymore. But...It's part of the 30 day challenge, so I have to - right? I'll make it short & sweet.

My job is good. I like it a lot. I am a Customer Service Rep at a bank, but really - I am a bank teller. I don't know why they don't just call me a "teller". They want to seem all important or something. Regardless, I really enjoy it.

My hours are a little longer than I thought they would be, but hopefully that won't last forever. There are only 3 tellers right now & soon there will only be 2. Once we get a little better staffed the hours should even out.

We are really busy some days & really slow others, so it makes everyday feel a little different & exciting. I know  I haven't worked there for very long, but I don't feel bored at all with my routine.

The pay is good. The benefits are good. I enjoy the people I work with. All in all, it's a great job & I love having it. I feel so blessed!

Someone Who Inspires You The Most - Big Chris.

So, as you know I have two siblings named Chris. No, my parents are not lunatics - one of the Chris's came by marriage. [Although we shouldn't totally rule out the lunatic theory - for other reasons ;)]

Maybe you are wondering why I didn't write about Big Chris in yesterdays post about siblings? Well, because I knew today's whole post would be about him & I didn't want all of my other siblings to think I loved him more or something =) So, it's a little late but much longer.

Big Chris inspires me for so many reasons. He was an only child for most of his life, yet he wasn't a brat & accepted all 6 of us easily. He quickly treated us all like true family & it helped us all to actually become one.

He is so kind & friendly. He gets along with just about everyone! He can strike up a conversation with a complete stranger & the stranger will walk away feeling better about themselves. That's just how Chris is; he makes you feel better.

He is such a hard worker & has accomplished so many things. He is an Eagle Scout, he served a worthy LDS Mission, He graduated from BYU. Those are just some of the bigger ones in his life, but he accomplishes so much so often.

I look up to him! Until he came along I was the oldest & I was the one to set the example for all of my siblings. When Big Chris joined our family I had a big brother. I got to know what it was like to look up to an older sibling & have them set an example for me. He is the best example of a big brother & a person. I want to be as great as he is someday.

Your Siblings.

Ahh, this is going to be a fun one. I'm a Mormon, so obviously I have lots of siblings =) Better get started or we'll be here all night!

Chris: Aka Croke, Aka Elder Claflin. He is serving his Mission right now in Aix-en-Provence, France & loving every minute of it! He will be coming home August 2012 & we can't wait to see him. I am so glad he's out there serving the Lord, but I do miss him. He & I are close in age & are very close. He is one of my best friends!

James: Aka Jamie, Aka Jip. Jamie & I are very similar! For a while we would butt heads because we were so alike, but we have figured out how to balance each other out & we get along very well. We have gotten really close & I love him so much. We can laugh & talk about anything. Whenever I want to talk I give him a call. Whenever he wants to talk to Reese he gives me a call. Maybe someday he will actually call me to talk! =)

Samantha: Aka Sammy, Aka Sami. My first youngest sister. She is gorgeous & outgoing. All other girls out there need to watch out! She is the sweetest person I know; she always puts other's needs before her own. She lived with us for a while & it was great. We got close to each other & I love having a friend in her.

Bret: Aka Brogan. He is the life of any party. He is amazing at voices & impersonations. He makes me laugh so hard! He can make anyone laugh at anytime. He is quite a few years younger than me, but we get along very well. I sure love him!

Jessica: Aka J, Aka Jessy. She is the baby of the family. She is outgoing, adorable, friendly, & fun. She is so smart; much to smart for her age! She says things that take us all by surprise & make us laugh awkwardly. She has a "store" in the basement of my mom's house where she sells all of her belongings - which we all have gotten for her. So we are basically buying the same stuff twice. She loves it & we love to support her.

I am so lucky to have the 5 greatest siblings in the whole world; I love them all with all of my heart!

Your Dreams.

Sometimes I dream about work. Sometimes I dream about a tv show I watched the night before. Sometimes I dream about Vampires. Sometimes I dream about tragic things happening to loved ones. Sometimes I dream about being not awesome - then I wake up & realize I'm still awesome so I fall right back to sleep ;)

Ok, but really I have some big dreams for my life & my future. Maybe they are just practical dreams that everyone has, but whatever - they are my dreams currently.

I dream of owning a house within a year. We want to know where we are going to be, settle in, stay put, & live in our own house. Oh man, all the painting & decorating I can do! It will be amazing.

I dream of being a mommy. I dream of getting pregnant & feeling a baby grow inside of me & then actually having my own little human! I dream of being a good mom, not just a mom.

I dream of being able to be a stay at home mom & spend all day with my wonderful kids. My mom got to stay home the whole time I was growing up & it was amazing. There is nothing better. I hope to give that to my kids someday.

And now I dream of not being late for work today. I better head out the door! Have a great day everybody =)
