Funniest Video

I have been stuck at home ALL day with something nasty. Stuffy, body achy all over, and I can't decide if I want to be hot or cold. Its driving me nuts and I hate it.

But this chears me up!:

Amazing

Want to here and amazing talk by an amazing man?

Go here

It makes me want to cry tears of joy just thinking about it.

Song of the Month: September

Hello!! How was everyone's weekends? Mine was absolutely crazy.... It was a
non-stop busy weekend. Kind of glad it's over actually!

Once again I choose two songs this month. This could happen quite frequently!

This first one is awesome. Sometimes whenI hear a song I think of how awesome  it would sound in some type of video. If I ever find the time I would love to learn about filming and making videos. I picture this one on a really cool wakeboarding video... Saweet!!



Who doesn't love some Panic! Great song and also great album.

WOW

Life has just handed me an amazing opportunity and I feel so blessed.

On Tuesday I got offered an amazing job. I am still in shock. I thought as my internship would start to come to a close I would have to send out Resume's to everyone possible to find something. And than I still wondered if I would find anything.

Here I am only halfway through my internship and the design studio I wanted to work for the most just offers me a job. No work on my part. Wow. I am blessed.

So in two months I will no longer be an Interior Design Intern, I will be an Interior Designer. Me, a career women, who would've thought? Certainly not me. 

Life is definitely being about being in the right place at the right time. Meeting the right people at the right time. Whether it comes to jobs, relationships, or anything else. Sometimes we need to learn the gift of patience to get us to those right places at the right time. It can be difficult but the result is so worth it. Heavenly Father is looking out for you, no need to worry.

A shout out to all my fellow interns: You got this, don't give up, you deserve this, and I love you!!

A shout out to all my friends in a rut: You got this, don't give up, keep pushing along, be patient, you deserve this, and I love you!!

Day 30 - Who are you?

Very last day!! Never thought I would actually get done with this!!

I am Melanie Jones. If you don't get a feel of who I am from this blog be my friend. I like friends!

THE BUILDING IS ON FIRE!!! (...not)

Have you ever wanted to pull a fire alarm?

they can be so tempting sometimes

well, i got to pull one in a building with 28 floors

yep, you heard me right, 28 floors!!

we had a fire drill at work and i was given the duty of pulling the fire alarm

made my day so good!

(side note... it only rang on my floor but still. its cool)

Day 26 - What you think about your friends

I think glorious heaps of wonderful thoughts about my friends!

• They are beautiful
• They are strong
• They are wonderful mothers, wife's, and friends
• They make me smile, laugh, and just plain make me proud
• They are reliable, trustworthy, and I know I can count on them

.....and I miss hanging out with them all the time like crazy!!

Below are some pictures of my friends. We have had some 

awesome times and I know there will be more awesome times

to come.

(Like last Saturday... details to come but me, Jaisha, and Heidi

have been feeling the effects of this fun time!)

Nikki Sticki & Big Red:

Sexy Sexy, Frenze, & Jess


Kar Dog, Jess, Shauna, Andrea, Jaisha, & Heidi-ho

For some reason they all had nicknames at one time. I am
barely just getting around to changing them to their real
names in my phone!

Bear Lake!

A few weeks ago my singles ward went to one of my favorite places for our Super Summer Activity:

BEAR LAKE!!

I love this place. Everything there just seems so chill and relaxing. I could live like that all the time.

Couldn't you enjoy a view like this all the time:

One night we went to the Pickleville Playhouse and saw "Who Shot Juanito Bandito". O My Heck. Go see it. Now! It is the funniest play ever. I need to see more of those. I guess the Playhouse has a bunch of them and the guy who plays Juanito is hilarious. Go see it. Now!

We spent another day at the beach enjoying the sun and boating. I got a little crisp that day.

There was a gorgeous sunset one night. The photo doesn't quite capture it, but a sunset over this lake is beautiful!

We also hiked up to Bloomington Lake and enjoyed the rope swing and the snow! (Snow in August...crazy!) 

Jones Family Reunion 2011

Earlier this month we had our first Jones Family Reunion. It was really fun! My Dad, the great man he is, decided it would be a good thing for our family and I think it was so he put it all together. About 1/3 of the family is missing but we still had a pretty good turnout. I missed my Jessica though :). Each family was suppose to where the same color shirt for the big family photo... As you can see below the Jones family can be stubborn.

I got designated as the photographer, which I never mind!

(all smiles)

(all funnies)

(all serious...expect Kassie with her hand over her mouth, I love it!)

My Dad put together a variety of games for the little ones to play. The favorite was the doughnut game. And the best pictures!!



We played a guess who game with all the cousins and learned some great things about each other and had yummy food. How much better could it be! Until next year, and I know my photography skills will be even better!
