what a mystery

So let me tell you about this little mystery i have going on???? It started this morning , i had an hour before church so i thought "Hey lets paint my nails" (sadly my nails never got painted). I keep my nail polish in this little plastic drawer along with some other things like curling irons, and hair clips and such ( you get the picture) . I was going through the drawer trying to find all the colors of polish i had so i could pick a color, and i come across this strange glass bottle. It turned out to be a bottle of some pretty pricey perfume, and it wasn't mine, cause when i originally got this drawer nothing was in it!?!
My first thought is maybe its Kennedy's. I had some of their (Andrew and Kennedy's) stuff in my car on the drive up so i thought maybe it fell in there ( I don't know how it would but who knows). So i went and found kennedy and asked her if it was hers and she said she had never seen it before. Oh dear now what.. then being the great detective that i am i thought, well maybe andrew bought it for her and hid it in my room ( crazy idea i know but its all i had) so i went and asked andrew if he recognized the bottle and he hadn't but they both agreed that it smelled really good...Andrew and Kennedy were no help in solving the mystery of this bottle...

So the mystery continues.....

I totally fixed it

This morning started off pretty normal i woke up, went down stairs to eat breakfast, then i was going to shower. That's when it went downhill  .. the shower knob was well ummm broken! At first i couldnt get the water to turn on. Then finally i got it on...but then i couldnt get it to turn off OH DEAR!! I was freaking out, so i tried tightening the knob but it wouldnt tighten cause part of the knob inside where the screw was, was broken... So i had to take off the knob..(I didnt know how to so i goggled it. Thank heavens for google) once the plastic knob was off i had to then i get a wrench and had to twist the pipe so the water would turn off.
One problem was solved the water was no longer running wild, but now we couldnt turn the shower on without the knob. So i got the great idea "lets go to the plumbing store", it was a great idea minus the fact that i didn't know the brand so i had to drive back home and get the broken knob to show the people at the store. Thank heavens they had a replacement for me, and it was pretty cheap!
So with the new knob in hand i was on a mission to FIX THIS SHOWER!!!! ... and well i did.. once i found the screw driver i was good to go.... I installed the new shower knob!! It may not seem like that hard off a job but the fact that i did it all by myself with only google to help me is a big deal to me. Im super proud of myself !!! So next time something goes wrong in this house, no need to fear Haley is here!!!!

A true hero, role model, my angel....

Since mothers day was this week i thought it would be appropriate to dedicate this post to the wonderful Mother Figures in my life. I would like to take this time and express my gratefulness to each and every one of them. I couldn't have gotten to where i am now without them.

First i would like to express my love for my number one hero and role model....  CINDY LEE BROWN she is my guardian angel. I love and miss her so much. She was a one of a kind women, i hope to at least be half the women she was. If i had to describe her in one word it would be Perfect!! I can't find any fault in this lovely lady. She was kind, patient ( she kinda had to be, in order to put up with me) I know i wasn't the easiest child to raise, but even at my worst times she would always come hug me and whisper " I Love You".  She would know just what to say to help me through all the hard times in my life. People tell me all the time how much i look like her , how i have her eyes and smile. I am so honored when i hear people tell me that. My mom was a beautiful women, so thank you everyone who tells me how much i look like her. I loved all our shopping trips, my mom was my shopping buddie. She was fun, sweet, and full of life, She was my best friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope i make you proud Mom. I can never say i love you enough!! Mom you will forever be apart of who i am! I LOVE YOU

The second lady i would love to express my gratefulness to is another guardian angel and mother figure. Her name is Joy Baldwin. She could always put a smile on my face! She was so much fun to talk to. I couldn't stay said when i was around her, just her presence alone could brighten my day! I loved all our inside jokes. She had these beautiful small eyes, that would almost disappear when she would smile. I loved her smile! She was a wonderful women and i miss her a lot. She is always in my heart!

Thirdly ( is that even a word??? oh well it is now) I would love to thank KIM BROWN! I know i don't tell her this enough but she is an amazing women, and a fantastic mother!!! she has raised 3 amazing kids! I cant tell her how happy i am to have her in my life! I haven't seen my dad this happy is such a long time. she brings out a side of him that i didn't know was still there! I love that she has taken me under her wing like one of her own. she has taught me so much. Not only with words but with her amazing example. Life can hand out some pretty crappy cards and she taught me to just push forward and keep your chin up. Also she made me a chef lol. I am getting better and better everyday. So in the future my husband and kids won't starve lol so they have her to thank for that! I know i haven't been the easiest to deal with and i apologize for that. Kim is an amazing women, she is kind, selfless and a fun shopping buddie!! I love all our shopping trips and soda runs (even though i don't drink soda anymore). I look up to her so much ! She is an amazing women!


This truly can't be said enough to these women, but Ill say it one more time....

THANK YOU!!!!

Hello I'm Haley... and I'm a Pin-a-holic

The first step is to admit it, so now that I have admitted it I can go back to pinning lol jk jk ... My catch phrase is gotta pin'em all ( kinda like Pokemon gotta catch'em all ) wow I'm a nerd I'm quoting pokemon ha ha but man do i miss pokemon, i had all the original cards and the video games , It was awesome. Man do i miss the good old days.
Anyways back to topic I'm pretty sure that everyone reading this should go to pinterest ( if you don't have a pinterest account you should get one) and follow me if you aren't already!! I'm sure you may be thinking three things:
1. This girl is CRAZY! and your right I am lol , but the world has enough normal people so im fine being crazy
2. She probably doesn't pin anything i like.... and you are so wrong. I am an awesome pinner! I have like a million pins ( not really but close lol) so I'm guessing i have at least one pin for everyone if not more. So what are you waiting for go follow me.. there is a link on the side of my blog towards the top! so go click the link and follow me!
3. You may also be thinking won't following her on pinerest add fuel to the fire and make her pin more, and my answer is NO thats crazy talk. I don't know why you would say that ha hah

anyways just to let you know Im not really addicted to pinterest its just a very handy website. I love looking at it and getting ideas for things now and for things in the future... A lot of my meals that i make are actually from pinterest, so thank you pinterest you have made me a better eater I now eat so much healthier!

Also you may notice at the very top above the pinterest link is a link to mormon.org, I strongly encourage everyone to take a look at that. If you are curious about the mormon (LDS) religion and you want to learn more, this is a great place to start. It has a lot of information on it about what we believe and there is also a link where you can talk to missionaries, so if there are any questions you have I'm sure you can ask them, they would love to help you out. Sorry to get off topic, but seriously I am so grateful to be a member of this church and it has blessed my life in so many ways,  I just wanted to take a chance to share this joy and happiness with you. So please take just a few minutes and check out mormon.org it will be worth your time I promise

The freezing tundra

sorry its been a while since I last posted I've been kinda busy!! But I'm here now so that's all that matters lol Since I last posted  I have traveled up to Rexburg or as I love to call it Iceburg (im sure people who have been here can understand why I call it that) anyways the travel up here was an adventure I drove ALL BY MYSELF , well not completely by myself I was following my brother and his wife in their car but still I was in my car alone!! thank heavens for my ipod blasting music or else I would have gone INSANE.
The travel was both fun and a little scary. I have never driven that far before and i am not a big fan of driving in the mountains, I don't like having a steep edge next to me, but besides that it was A-okay. I made it in one piece and with most of my sanity.
When i first got to Rexburg my first thought was  OH MY GOODNESS that was a LONG drive but after that it was , "what have i done?" ..."Am i crazy, should i have come here?" And not even a day here i received the answer to my prayers!! I got a phone interview!!!! i know crazy right completely out of the blue, it was for a job i had applied to a while ago before i even got up here (probably the beginning of April) the person they were going to hire fell through so they called me!!! They said they were going to do possibly two interviews the first one would be over the phone, and if they liked me enough they said there would be a second interview in person ....and guess what!!!!!!! they liked me enough OOOH YEAH. So my interview in this coming week and im super nervous. please keep me in your prayers.
The thing is, even if this job opportunity doesn't workout i still know that this is where im supposed to be right now in my life! Every time i start to doubt what im doing or where im going, God comes in and lets me know that im doing the right thing and that im in the right place and He brings so much comfort into my life!!
I know that i will find a job up here, i wake up everyday and call and email multiple places, i wont give up!! If i do all i can God will help with the rest!
You know what else has happened since i got up here! I turned OLD ha ha ha jk i turned 22 isn't that insane I can't believe I'm 22 it seems like just yesterday i was 18 and just starting at BYUI but now I'm 22 and done with school man how time flies. Overall i had a pretty awesome birthday! I got to watch The Hobbit and can I say I love that movie and I can't wait for the 2nd part to come out!
Well i think that's all for this post, If you guys have any questions or comments please feel free to ask or comment away !!!!!!!!
