I'm a Doris Day...

So, I should be asleep, and instead...I have found out that I am Doris Day. Actually, for those of you who know me, this sounds pretty close to how I really am...oh boy!!

You are a Doris -- "I must help others."

Dorises are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.

How to Get Along with Me

• Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
• Share fun times with me.
• Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
• Let me know that I am important and special to you.
• Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.

In Intimate Relationships

• Reassure me that I am interesting to you.
• Reassure me often that you love me.
• Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me.

What I Like About Being a Doris

• being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
• knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
• being generous, caring, and warm
• being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
• being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What's Hard About Being a Doris

• not being able to say no
• having low self-esteem
• feeling drained from overdoing for others
• not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
• criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
• being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tume in to them
• working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings

Dorises as Children Often

• are very sensitive to disapproval and criticism
• try hard to please their parents by being helpful and understanding
• are outwardly compliant
• are popular or try to be popular with other children
• act coy, precocious, or dramatic in order to get attention
• are clowns and jokers (the more extroverted Dorises), or quiet and shy (the more introverted Dorises)

Dorises as Parents

• are good listeners, love their children unconditionally, and are warm and encouraging (or suffer guilt if they aren't)
• are often playful with their children
• wonder: "Am I doing it right?" "Am I giving enough?" "Have I caused irreparable damage?"
• can become fiercely protective

Spook Day....mu-ahahahaha!

Halloween this year was so much fun!

I didn't dress up, but had a great day...and night. First, I went to work at Enoch Elementary, and my kids were all well behaved. (Probably mostly because I bribed them with a treat at the end of their lesson...if they would behave.) Then I went to lunch with my family at Carl's Jr.

That evening, Steve and I took Addy and Dawson around the block to go trick-or-treating, and they were super funny. They wanted to run everywhere and at one point Daws goes, "Nanny...I'm getting tired. I can't run anymore. Will you carry me?" How could I refuse. Then, after we took a few steps, he seemed to be ready to go again. It was awesome.

We then went to the state playoff game at Cedar High against Ogden. Cedar won the game and will keep going in the tournament. It was fun to be with all my fam. and Steve at the game.

We came back to my house, played a couple rounds of hand and foot with mom and dad, and then Steve indulged my by playing DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) with me on the Wii. He did a good job, and it was a lot of fun. Then we played tennis, and we realize we're pretty good on the same tennis team. :)

All in all, Halloween was fantastic. I had a great time!

Steve and me at the game.

Grandma and Grandpa Morris-they are the best!

Mom and Dad-I love these guys too!

Steve and his scary fangs...watch out...he bites!

My nephews and niece-these are the cutest kids!

New Hair Cut

I got my hair cut the other day, and here's the result. Let me know what you think. :)

Game Fun

I know I've posted a few times in the last couple of days, but I had to do this one. I've been thinking lately about how much I enjoy playing games, and how cool it is to get to spend time with people I care about while playing a fun game. :) Here are a couple of games I am really into right now...if you want instructions let me know.

I love Speed....even though Steve beats me most of the time.

There's Hand and Foot...a team game that Steve's parents always stomp us at....but it's SO much fun.

Ticket to Ride...this one is really fun, and it teaches you major cities in the United States....if you need help with that. LOL.


My newest game...and one I think will become a favorite is called Bohnanza. Get this, it's all about planting, trading, selling, donating, and harvesting BEANS. Crazy I know, but it's actually pretty darn fun.


I just really like games! If you or your family play any really fun games....pass them on to me. I'd love to add some more good ones to my list.

Canadian Brass Concert

This week, my mom and I went to a Canadian Brass Concert. It was AWESOME!! It is a world renowned brass quintet that was so much fun to listen to. Here are a couple clips of the concert.

Logan Trip Part 2

So, Steve and I got home from our trip up north TWO weeks ago...already. I had such a great time. To just recap the rest of the weekend...here goes:

1. The SUU team played five games in the pouring rain, and a very cool temperature. They did their best and were fun to watch...even though they did not have much success.
2. We watched conference....and I LOVED all of it. I feel so blessed and rejuvenated by the words of the disciples. I was uplifted, and I am motivated to do better.
   
3. We ate dinner at Steve's grandparents house. I got to visit with some of his cousins, and eat some wonderful food. The entire family was really nice, and I'm so glad we got to spend some time there.
4. We drove home...well....Steve drove home, which I appreciate so much!
   

There's the rest of the weekend in a nutshell. I had a great time, and couldn't have asked for a better way to spend conference weekend!

The SUU Militia Frisbee team in all their glory!Steve covered in mud...how cute is he???

A provocative pose by Michael James Kip Mosdell....shocking!!

Katie and me being frisbee groupies.

Logan Trip Part 1

So Steve and I are in the middle of our trip up north. Here's a little run down of what we have done thus far:

We got to Provo and went to lunch with Jordan...at Zupa's. It was excellent. Then, we went with Jor to a park and played frisbee on this rockin' hill. Here is a picture Steve took of the two of us.

Then we went back to my old apartment and just hung out. Last night, Steve took me out to Tucano's...which was fantastic. The pineapple is AWESOME!! Don't worry...the meat, and salad...and everything about that place is good. :) We then went and hung out with one of Steve's old roommates Rob and his wife for a bit and then I went and crashed at Jor's house for the night. (Thanks for having me Jor!)

This morning, Steve made breakfast and we took off to come up to Logan. Instead of driving up I-15 the entire way, we decided to drive up Provo Canyon, go through Heber and come back to the freeway at Ogden. It was well worth the extra time it took us. We stopped at one of Steve's favorite places up the canyon and took some fantastic pictures.

We went to lunch with Katie and hung out for a bit before she went to work. Now we are just enjoying the BYU vs. USU game at Katie's apartment and having such a good time. This weekend has been so much fun so far...and there's still lots to come. :)

I'm totally excited to watch the frisbee tournament tomorrow. It'll be awesome!
