Merry Christmas to me!

It's been 2 weeks...

Makayla is sleeping looooong hours at night...(11-12 straight)

I am well rested...

I think I am ready for the Holiday madness/travelling...

Bring it on!!

Who knew?

My mom has a wreath party every year, and the last 2 years, I struggle every time with being creative and crafty. I made regular, pretty wreaths, with evergreen, and ribbon, and pretty glittery flowers and such. And usually, I had to have my crafty mom do most of the work.

Using hot glue guns?
Wire?

Fake flowers?

Making bows from ribbon!?

Help!

I always liked to think of myself as somewhat crafty. But every year, I am reminded that I'm not as talented as I thought myself to be. And only about once every year, around this time do I feel the need to actually BE crafty. So this year, I wanted to do something a little bit different. I got the idea from a well known "crafty person's" (to say the least) magazine...cough...Martha...cough...

So I made a few changes and had this really pretty picture in my head of how it was going to look. I started out and thought, oh crap. This is going to be tricky. Then about 25 minutes later, I had made pretty much zero progess and realized I would be spending almost the entire night at my mom's house glueing balls onto a bunch of ribbon. Great fun.

....about 2 hours later, after most people had left, I was finally finished. Hooray!! It didn't turn out exactly as I had pictured it in my head, but it's pretty close.

The picture doesn't really do it justice...it's really all pretty and shiny and happy on my wall. I promise.

And don't worry, I've already gone through a certain magazine....and figured out what I want to try next year..."Mooooommmmmm.....I need heelllllppppp....." (This was said alot last year...though not quite as much this year...yay!)

--------------------------

And along with the "Christmas-y" sort of theme, we mailed out our Christmas cards the other day. We haven't done that like...ever...you know, the ones with a cute family picture, printed onto a card...yikes. But we did it. And I should have printed more, I didn't think we'd use all the ones we printed, but I kept remembering people that we should send to, and then after we ran out of pictures, I remembered about 15 more. So, I'm posting the pic on here, because in addition to those 15 people that I neglected, there are all my online blogger friends!

Merry Christmas!! Love, us!

A fun way to spend five minutes!

This was pretty fun. Apperently Makayla looks more like me, but lately everyone's been saying she looks alot like Jason. When she was just born, ALL ME...haha.

I want it all

Why oh why does Anthropologie have to be so expensive!! I want to buy the whole store!!

Starting with this...it matches a new green shirt I just got perfectly!!and then perhaps this...

ok, and then this...

and finally, what I want for Christmas...
Are those not the cutest salt and pepper shakers you have EVER seen!!?? I need to have them. And they aren't as expensive as I would have thought them to be. Yay!! Those are definitely going on my Christmas list for Santa.

Hello Again

We made it back! We had such a blast. Long car rides and all. Makayla did SO much better than we even hoped for. Except for the last 2 hours of one of the legs. Wow...she has some serious lung power. What a fun time though. We all had fun watching my uncle Brad make some wooden tops and pens on his wood lathe, played some fun games, soccer, ate ALOT of food, visited, ate ALOT of pie, went hot tubbin', went to a weddin', did way too much driving. That's pretty much the rundown of the trip!! I've got a few pics here, but we have like 1000 to go through. We took alot of pics. It was a great reunion. All of my aunts and uncles on my dad's side were able to come!!! And we all have a great time together. They are so much fun.

Now I just need a big looooong nap!!

Little Miss taking her pre-road trip bath, getting all clean and ready to go for a long ride!

The beginning of the long drive!

With Grandparents

Grandma and her kiddo-s...Grandma's eyes look kinda funky in this one...hehe.

In front of the Mesa Temple.

My niece and nephew, too cute

The bride and groom. Karen and Jackson.

Learning to drive!! See that pen hanging? My little bro made that on a wood lathe for me! He's very talented!

She was fed SO much on this trip, by us, and Grandma, and aunts and uncles...she looked like this alot of the time, always something in her mouth!

Toodles!

We are leaving tomorrow for a much needed get away!! We will be making the loooong treck down to Mesa for Thanksgiving and my cousin Karen's wedding the next day at the Mesa temple! We can't wait to see all of our family down there. So, we will be gone for a few days. Starting the drive back Saturday and finishing up Sunday. Let's just hope little miss "cranky pants" can survive the long car ride. ("cranky pants being Makayla...or me...depending on how Makayla is...) And speaking of cranky, someone needs a nap RIGHT NOW or I may go insane. So, everyone have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Amazing

So I went and filled up our car last night at the gas station, and guess what I saw!? I should have taken a picture. Gas was $1.97!! Under $2.00. I almost could not believe my eyes, or my good fortune. It cost a whopping $18.90 to put about 9.6 or so gallons into our tank. We were paying almost $40 bucks to fill 'er up just a few months ago. I was so happy. I maybe get a little more excited than the average person about gas...prices...hehe.

Tell me, does gas make YOU happy!!??

Come back!!

I want fall back. I miss it already. Winter always comes way too fast for me. It's cold, it's icky, it's gray, blah. I want like 3 months of September/October weather!! Is that too much to ask!?

So, here are some pics of me and Makayla having fun this fall in the leaves. I wanted to go back and play some more!!

And one more that I thought was really cute. Even though we took like 30 and I think they are ALL cute!
And yes...her hair does do that naturally...we can't get it to lay down no matter how hard we try!!

For All You Mormons Out There...

This is for you. I found this through a friends page on facebook, and I sat in my chair at work and laughed SOOOO hard. Some of these little sayings are priceless. Especially from the kiddos. I just had to share with you all.

Enjoy.

I wish I could remember some of the things I have heard in my own ward over the years...

Photo tag

I am doing this just for fun, and because I was curious as to what photo was 4th in my 4th photo folder. (say that 10 times fast...I dare you!!)

So here it is...Jason and his dad in SLC at Grandma's house. I think this was last year, cause I remember I was very pregnant. Luckily I am NOT in the photo. Good thing this photo tag said 4th photo...not 5th!!

See any resemblence there???

Not Forgotten

(I've been meaning to post this for a whole month and am just now getting around to it...)
So for my birthday back in August, I mentioned to Jason that I wanted to go to a Weezer concert. (Weezer being a favorite band of mine from back in the day...and still a fave) And what do you know, that ended up being my birthday present! The concert wasn't till the first part of October, but just having the tickets in hand was a perfect gift! It seemed like it couldn't get here fast enough.

Concert day arrives, and I told Jason that we had to hit all my old "concert stops" on the way. My friend Anna and I used to go to alot of concerts back in the day...when we were single and had money of course...and we used to go eat at Red Robin before the big show.

Jason had never had the Red Robin experience, and I hadn't been there in probably 5 years or so. So we ate there, and it was excellent.

After an early dinner, we made our way to the concert. We used to park at a movie theater across the street from the E-Center for free, but guess what!! Not free anymore. They wanted to charge...get this...$20 bucks!! Even more than the event center itsself was charging. So we parked down the street at the Baymont hotel (shhh....i think that was probably not legal) and hoofed it.

The concert was awesome as expected, and we both rekindled our love for the Weez. Jason's last time seeing them in concert was back in like '96 or so when they opened for No Doubt. I went to the same concert in Utah. He in Illinois. How cool is that!?

After the concert, we had to stop at Slim Olsens' in Bountiful for a drink to keep us awake for the long drive home. Slim's being another "concert stop." The lady at the counter noticed my husband was wearing a North Logan Fire Department shirt, and started asking all sorts of questions and then got off on a big long story about a fire by her house. We kept trying to move closer toward the door so she'd get the hint that we were wanting to leave. She got no such hint. It was like 11:30pm, and we still had a good hour drive home. So finally we just had to make a break for it and kind of cut her off. Politely of course. I'm sure she was just bored and lonely working a gas station counter at midnight.

To make a long story short, it was an awesome night. My concert days may be coming to an end, but the occasional one here and there still keeps me "young." Plus I got Jason all to myself for like 9 hours!! Unheard of!

Let us all pay homage to the WEEZ!!

We're back!

Well, we made it back from Illinois without too much crying on the plane. I mean, we cried a little...but it's Makayla we were worried about. She cried a little more than we did. For the most part, she was SO good though. On the flight out there, she just charmed everyone around her, and they all thought she was a doll. On the way back, not so much. She was still cute of course, but not so charming. She was good for most of the almost 3 hour flight. The last 45 minutes were a bit rough. But I guess we shouldn't complain, cause it could have definitely been much much worse. Like tonight. She's trying to get back to her normal routine, and having a bit of a rough time with it. Hopefully it won't take too long. She just needs mom to get off the computer and put her to bed!

We had a great time out there, got to visit alot of family, and see how Cassie was doing with her chemo/radiation and all that. It was a really good trip. Except for one thing. I was sick as a dog for most of it. I had a cold going out there and hoped it would be over for the most part by the time we got there. It lasted almost till we came home. And then Saturday night, I got incredibly sick to my stomach. Give me a break! No one else got sick though, so I am glad for that. But it was just aweful. There's really nothing worse than feeling like you need to sit next to the toilet for hours at a time.

But anyway... I'll stop talking about how sick I was, and put some pics on here.

This is Makayla and her Grandma Nail. Jason's mom. She loved her grandma. And especially loved playing with her fun refridgerator magnets.

This is at Jason's grandma's house, out in the middle of a bunch of corn fields. It is so quiet and pretty out there.

I mean really, how pretty is that.

Makayla getting a ride in the wagon with Grandpa Wade.

Jason's step sister Lindsey.

Cousin Landon, who had a blast with Makayla. He's not the baby of the family any more!

Something new

Anyone know of a good online digital scrapbook place? I heard about it from my hairdresser, and thought it sounded cool. I want to try it and see if its easier on the computer, than all the cutting, gluing, hole punching, etc...
So if anyone knows how to get started, or a good place to get started, let me know!!

Makayla is 8 months old!

So I haven't posted Makayla pics in a while it seems. So I'll put a few in here. She is 8 months old now, it's gone by SO fast! I can't believe she's so close to a year old already. I swear I just had her like a month ago.




Oh, and also a pic of my new hair color...it's quite a bit lighter than what I was going for, so what do you think? Jason told me it was really "streaky." Haha...guess he likes a more natural look. Oh well. I'm thinking I'll change it again in November before my cousin's wedding. Probably have her darken the blonde streaks a bit. There's some awesome brownish red streaks in there though that I am loving!!!

**so I just noticed in this pic, you can't really see the color that great...it's much blonder than it appears here. Maybe I'll get a better one on here tomorrow.

Just for Fun

Some pics that make me smile.

The Crazyness of it all

Aren't you all so glad you get to listen to me complain about my blog? I know you are. So listen. Ok, so I need someone smart. I know one of you has to be. I had changed my page background to this cute brown/light blue flowery thing, but it was like...WAY too much. So then I changed it again to this really cute birdie background, but you can only see the very edges of it, and the background for my blog title is still the way too flowery flower thing. Does that all make sense? It does to me...haha.
So someone that knows how to fix my problem, comment and tell me!!
As for now, it's going to stay the way it is. Cute, but not quite what I'm going for. I really mostly want to get rid of the blue/brown flowers on my blog title.

Headache

Blogger is totally stressing me out today! Maybe it's my internet that's having problems, I don't know. But I can't do ANYTHING! I try to save a change, and it gives me an error message, then my internet freezes up and closes on me. UGGHH!! SO. I am quitting for the day. I give up, and if I get brave, might try again tomorrow. At least it's letting me post...
Look for the positive right?!

Yikes!

Um....crap. So I tried to put on a different background for my blog, and did it, but didn't like it. So when I put my old one back on, all my stuff on the side was gone!!!! So...uh...help. I don't know what I did. I'm working on fixing it, so it might be a while before I am posting again. It's buggin' me. I had it "just right" ya know? So annyway...ta ta for now.

Nothing Really

I really don't have anything to post today, except that I've been sitting at my desk at work for the last 2 hours with a sleeping child on my shoulder. It's the best. And the worst...I'm definitely going to make Jason give me a shoulder massage when I get home, but how awesome is it that 1) I can take my daughter to work with me, and 2) she's been asleep for 2 hours!!
It rocks. She's making up for last night, she was up like 5 times between 11:30-12:30 am. I wanted to die. Then she slept for like 3 hours before she got up for the MORNING...and didn't go down for her nap till 1:30....haha. Oh well. I don't need sleep right? HA!

Anyway...I'm just loving that I get baby snuggles during the most boring part of my workday.

Someone catch her!

So there I was...at the Doctor's office, having an ingrown toenail cut out. Lovely I know. Let me tell ya, it was seriously so painful. So I'm sitting on the exam table, with my foot up, and there are two little nurse ladies over there getting needles out...yikes. So I'm asking them all sorts of questions about the numbing stuff.

ME: so is this going to hurt really bad?
NURSES: um, yeah, I've been told it's pretty painful...
ME: (greeeaaattt)

So they give me this stress ball to squeeze and tell me to take deep breaths. So I'm breathing.
They wrap a rubber band around my toe..., and tell me its to keep the anesthetic in longer. It's lovely.

NURSES: You'll feel a sharp poke and then quite a bit of burning.
ME: :(

I'm deffinitely feeling a burn...and then my toes is completely numb...the strangest feeling ever.
Then the doctor comes in, and explains things to me. Tells me I will feel alot of pressure, but there shouldn't be any pain with it.

ME: (watching)
DOC: This is where I'd turn away if I were you.

So I look the other way, till the nail is out. No big deal, totally not as bad as I was expecting. They wrap me up, and tell me I'm good to go. So I sit up, grab my sandal, and my purse off the chair, and walk out to the front office to pay. I hand my card to the lady, and I was feeling a little dizzy...but thought it would pass, like when you stand up too fast. I'm waiting for her to be done with my card (she's taking forever.) And all the sudden my body totally freaked out....

ME: I'm feeling a little dizzzzz......
SOMEONE ACROSS THE ROOM: Someone catch her!!!

A few minutes later....

ME: (very confused) what happened?
NURSE: you turned white as a sheet and passed out.
ME: I did what??

The walked me back to the table and made me lay down and drink some water and gave me a sucker...(seemed kinda random, and I hate suckers...but I did it anyway).
A few minutes later, I sat up and said, ok, I think I'm good to go. The nurse informed me I was still pale as could be, so she made me lay back down. All in all, I had to stay an extra 40 minutes, till I could walk out. And even then they had someone walk me to my car.

It was so much fun. I would have posted really disgusting oozy pictures of my toe, but I will spare you all. Thank me later. It's now healing lovely. A little black and blue, but it has stopped oozing finally. Maybe I'll take a pic in a few days.
And let me tell ya, as soon as that anesthetic wore off, the pain was seriously worse than child birth. I kid you not. It was like 40 million bee stings all throbbing and stinging and hurting....

But now I can wear normal shoes again!!

Adventures in wax

So pregnancy does weird things to ones body. It changes everything. I'm a totally different shape now. My feet are a half size larger. I feel wider, and hairier. I know, that might be TMI. But it's very true. So, in order to combat that last one, I went out and got me some wax.

I've never waxed before, so this was an adventure...that quickly turned into a painful and unpleasant experience.

Why do people wax? Yikes. Maybe next time I will just go get all the hairs lasered off!!

Anyway...my upper lip is now hair free, and feeling lovely, after looking like I got stung by 3 or 4 bees there for a while. I haven't decided if I am going to do that again. Maybe when I start looking like I need a shave again!! UGH!!

At least I can deal with the wide-ness, and big feet. Not much I can do about that anyway! Unless I want to start wrapping my feet!!

YIKES!! I think I will be just fine with my big wide "Hobbit Feet." Thank you very much.

A good time

I've been a bit behind on the whole blogging thing lately, thus the bazillion posts in the last couple of days. But I forgot I had a cute picture from our Third Annual Geddes Family Labor Day Bear Lake trip! And you heard right, A cute picture....as in ONE. Leave it to me to forget to charge the camera battery before we go on a fun trip! So this is the one and only picture from our fun day at the beach.

We ended up leaving a little early because a storm came through and we were all sand blasted. The wind was blowing so hard. The sand was everywhere. But on the bright side, our skin was exfoliated!! Makayla loved it, ate a couple of handfulls of sand, dipped her feet in the water a few times. We didn't really let her play in the water all that much, as Walmart was out of swim diapers, and we didn't want to deal with the HUGE SOGGY BUM. But she still had a blast!

Important

I heard about this family on some of my blogger friends blogs, and it was also on the news the other night. They are in Arizona. Their story is so sad, but it is amazing what support they are getting from total strangers, via the world wibe web. So I have decided to join the support, by putting a "button" link on the right side of my blog. It links you to paypal, where you can donate to their family. They are acuumulating medical bills that will be in the millions, so any little bit helps.

Here is a link to their blog. http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/

**forgot to mention what happened. Her husband is a pilot, and was taking lessons. They went up for a plane ride with their instructor, in a small plane, and it crashed. The instructor was killed. Christian Nielsen was seriously injured, burns over 20% or so of his body, and his wife Stephanie was burned over 80% of her body. They are in critical condition.

Aww, babies!

Aren't new babies the cutest most precious things in the whole world!? It's crazy to think when looking at a newborn, that your own small child used to be THAT small!

There's just nothing like them. The smell, the sounds, the faces, jerky movements, you could stare at them all day long.

So without further adieu, I present to you, Emma Whyte. Makayla's newest relative!!

She is the brand new daughter of my bestest cousin Anne, and her husband Mike.

Congrats guys!!

Sad News, and happy news

So as many of you probably know, and some of you probably don't, Jason is student teaching this semester. He's really enjoying it. But it means a full semester of being totally and completely broke. He doesn't have any free time to work until Dec. This couldn't be happening at a worse time. And I will tell you why.

Jason's Grandfather in Illinois (who sealed us in the Temple) has been in the hospital for almost 4 months now. He went in for a simple surgery to have a growth removed, and its just been one complication after another, to now they are saying he could go any day. He has developed that horrible staff infection called MRSA. They signed a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) the other day.
That's bad news #1. Here's bad news #2.

Jason's sister in Illinois about a month ago started having really bad headaches that would make her sick, and she started seeing double. So they took her in for some tests and an MRI and all that. They found a tumor on her brainstem. The doctor said it was cancer and inoperable. So then she went to another doctor, and he did a spinal tap and said it wasn't cancer, but there is a growth and they don't know what it is. Some what of a relief. So she went home on some steroids, and after a week started having symptoms again, and getting worse. So they decided to do a biopsy. That meant a 6 hour surgery. When they got the results back from that, we all found out that it was indeed cancer, and was a Grade-4 Glioblastoma (i think thats what it was called) on her brainstem, and is inoperable. This is 3 weeks after she was first told she didn't have cancer. So after all that waisted time, she will finally start Chemo and radiation next week. And all this time, Jason and I have been feeling completely helpless all the way out here. All we can do is pray, and fast.

Here comes the good news part...
So we told my family what was going on, and how we were just sad we couldn't get out there before the semester ends, etc. My sister in law Kristi asked if we wanted to have a family fast this weekend. We thought that was an excellent idea. So we all fasted. We went to church, paid our tithing (which i now have a much stronger testimony of...but that's another story). Anyway, long story short, we were over at my parents house playing Boggle (don't laugh at us word nerds, it was a blast!) and my mom came out of her room with an envelope for us. Jason opened it, and out spills a huge wad of cash. My brother and his wife and my parents paid for us both to fly out to see Jason's family. We both just cried like babies. And as luck would have it, UEA weekend is in a month. So we are flying out in October. We wish it could be sooner, but if we didn't go then, we probably wouldn't be going till after the new year. We can't believe what an awesome family we've been blessed with.
I'm 100% positive this is a blessing of paying tithing. If we hadn't been doing that, we could have flown out there a long time ago. But we pay every month, and just prayed that we'd --1) make it through the semester without going into too much debt, and 2) find a way to visit family.
PAY YOUR TITHING PEOPLE.

So anyway, we called Jason's parents last night and told them what happened and they both started to cry.

And I better quit while I'm ahead, cause I'm tearing up and my contacts are all sorts off messed up!
So keep his sister in your prayers for us, we still don't know the full extent of things, like if she's been given any sort of timeline. We've been reading up, and apparently its not that great.
We will post updates as we get them.

We have lift off

Makayla has discovered that she can move. And when she wants to, can move FAST! She learned to crawl last Monday (Labor Day) out of the blue. Just got up on all fours, put one hand out in front, scooted a bit, and then she was off. It was the cutest thing, and I was so proud. Then we realized we are not baby-prooffed! Yikes. So, that's our chore this week. I'm trying to figure out how to get video downloaded from our phone onto the computer. If any of you are smarties and know how to do this let me know. Then you can all witness her first wobbly venture across our messy living room floor!

Pictures to come later...

I Won The Lottery!!

So I won the New York Lottery**. No joke. I'm freaking rich. I'd share the winnings with you all....except they wouldn't go very far. You see, I won $15 bucks!! So I didn't win the grand prize....but how many people can say they won the NY lottery!!??

Here is proof...

And one more thing...i finally got a haircut! Mindy saved my "hairtastrophe" she is the best hairdresser ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Mindy! And i promise i will never "cheat" on you again and go to someone else!

I'm like the best self portrait taker ever huh. I love the new cut. And I promise it is much cuter in person.

And finally more cute pics of "Baby K". I hope she had a fantastic wonderful time making this mess...cause it was a chore to clean up!

But from the looks of it, I'd say a good time was had. Wouldn't you?

** I got a scratch and win card from an old chinese man this summer (who also happens to be a freaking millionaire). He gives them out every year when he comes to the operas in town.

My Little Model

Makayla had her first photo shoot last week. My friend Christie offered to do it for us. It was quite the experience.

First of all, she just sat there and chewed on her lips for the first 40 minutes or so.

Second of all, she refused to look at me when i was trying to get her attention and get her to smile. She was much more interested in all of the plants surrounding her, and wanted to eat them of course...who wouldn't?

But once she got into the sand box, she was all play. She loved it. It was her first sandbox experience. And of course, got a handful in her mouth. Mom was too slow. But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?

Look at these cute pics!! I am so excited to see the rest of them. I know there are only a handful of them with her actually smiling, but that's ok. She's just cute. And Christie has got some awesome skills. And John too. Poor guy had to stand out there and be the "lighting guy" But it was good, cause he was the only one who could get Makayla's attention and get her to smile for us. Good work John!

Needles make me mad

Ok, normally, I am perfectly ok with needles. It's when they are being jabbed into my daughters leg that they really get to me. It kills me every time. And the little like 1/2 second delay between the stick and the scream, and then what seems like 1 full minute for her to take a breath between cries. It's insanity. Insanity I tell you. But this time, it was pretty funny. ( I don't think anything about getting shots is funny...i'm talking about the after-math.) She screamed good and hard for the 3 pokes, and then as soon as I picked her up, she immediately stopped crying and looked at the nurse like "how dare you" haha. It was so dang funny. And then she was fine...till the next day. She got a big red, warm, lump from the Tetanus shot. It's gotta hurt.

And on a brighter note, I have my husband back! Well, I guess he's been back for a week now, but I'm just getting around to the blog for the first time since then.

--Jason at Central Park--

This week at work has been insane! And we are getting visitors! I'm excited! My two high school buddies Cara and Christie are in Logan, and we're going to have a picnic with our fams tonight.

And then on Sunday, Jason's Aunt Shera and her family will all descend upon our tiny little apartment! Holy cow...I need to clean my house. But it will be fun. We haven't seen them in like a year.

So, I'm off to have a picnic!! And then clean my house...joy...such joy.

All Alone

Jason is in New York. And I am sad and lonely. It's 11:15 pm, and I don't want to go to bed. I don't sleep well when he's gone...not at all. All of my brothers, my dad, a couple uncles, and their boys are all in New York for 4 days. Am I jealous? Of course. But it will be fun for Jason, he's never really been anywhere. Especially anywhere as busy as NYC. He sounded kinda overwhelmed when he first called me. The first thing he said was how disgusting the Subway smelled. I laughed. I'm sure he'll be experiencing all sorts of new/different/disgusting smells while he's there, and maybe even some good ones...like the hot dogs and pretzels in Yankee Stadium....mmmm.

So anyway, I guess I'll go to bed now. I tossed and turned till midnight last night, because I had left my dryer going, and kept hearing things clinking and clanking around. Not smart. So....no dryer, I'm really tired, I should be good. Only 2 more nights to go!

I miss this guy!!!!

Happy Girl

I really don't have much to say today, except that I am so glad I got such a happy little girl. She really hardly ever cries unless she's just so tired she can't deal with life any longer.
Plus, I haven't put a picture of her on here for a while. And she's just too cute!

And she gets those thighs from me...haha. They're so squishable!!! She's a little cream puff!

Really?

Ok, this is like the last one I thought I'd be. But hey, it's cool, right?

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that' s center.
