> I have been LOVING the rain and stormy weather that we have been having lately. Even with all that has fallen we still need more; there is still a drought. I just love the sky when it rains, the smell it brings, the way everything looks when it is wet, and it always reminds me of this:

I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain,

And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.

I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain,

I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

> Friday night at 7:30 is honestly the best time of the week for me. Walking down the radiology hall to leave knowing that I have 4 whole days with my family and friends to spend however I want is a great feeling. It is not that I hate my job or anything, far from it, I just am so grateful that my life is how it is and that every Friday night I am starting a mini-vacation.

> My Primary calling. I know that I complain most of the time about it but I truly do love Primary. I love learning and teaching the gospel in its simplest form; attend church, say your prays, pay your tithing, be kind to others, honesty, read your scriptures, love for your family and friends, faith... the basics. It helps to remind me that it really is so simple and that if you just do what is right the Lord will bless and guide you.

> Awesome friends who are definately more intelligent than you, who give great advice and assistance.

> The relationships that I have with each of my family members. I am the luckiest girl because I truly have the greatest family in the world and I know that we will be like this (crazy and always having fun) forever.

> Girls trips to Las Vegas. Whenever my mom (nugs), sister (little red), sister-in-law (the hotness), and me (lame-o) get together it is always fun times. Can't wait for this weekend.

> Nothing fights with my husband. They're not what you think they are. For example:

Radio stations are one topic that we disagree on constantly. Kerby insists on listening to NPR (talk radio) because he was mistakenly born in the 80's and not the 40's. I insist on listening to actual music...

One day as we were driving around town Kerby hurridly changes the channel to his favorite old-timey station and exclaims, "My favorite show is coming on!"

I quickly reply with a "No! I want to listen to music. Not people talking."

Kerby responds, "Carol Off and Barbara Budd are on and I am not missing it."

"No Kerby, it drives m-"

"LISTEN TO CAROL!!!"

His facial expression, the way he yelled, and his hand pointed directly to the dial on the radio was probably one of the funniest things he has yet to do. We died laughing as we drove on Turtle Road and I honestly couldn't have loved him more.

> That this year has started out great. Kerby and I have accomplished things that we had set out to do this year and this momentum is keeping us on track to completing more. It is such a great feeling to be making progress.

> Camping season is quickly approaching and I can't wait!! First trip that starts it all off is Easter weekend with the Mackelprangs and Millers. This year is going to be great, as always, but it feels like we haven't been out in forever so I am really looking forward to it. Hanging with the fam, campfires, four-wheelers, Grandma Linda's macaroni salad in the biggest piece of tupperware you have ever seen (it doesn't fit in anyones cooler... so it has its own but the cooler still won't close), sleeping in a cot like the dead, etc., etc., etc.

> April 27th is coming quickly. It will be here before I know it!!!

• The sweetest elderly hispanic woman who gave me a hug after her exam. I wanted to be her granddaughter, she was that awesome. I have never wanted to really learn Spanish but she makes me want to learn Spanish so I can talk to her.
• 70% Diet Coke/30% Reg. Coke mix from a fountain with lots of ice. Does it get any better? Helps me out on bad days.
• Mom = BEST. FRIEND. EVER.
• Texting. I love how life has gotten easier. It is so stupid and really not that big of a deal but when you get a random text from that someone that just says 'I love you' it makes you smile.
• Microsoft Word. So I can spell check my words cause 'easier' didn't look right even though I spelt it correctly. (so did 'spelt'...weird) Thank you technology.
• Super sweet job.
• A paid-off vehicle!!! THANK YOU
• My health and my families health. I am around sick people all day and I sometimes forget that my family and I are so lucky to have such good health. It makes me want to take better care of myself so I am like that 95 year old patient who still has a bounce in their step and all their bodily functions. Seriously.
• Inspiration from people who are a lot better than I am. People out there amaze me with all that they do and know. I feel inadequate but I am trying and as Grandpa Scott'D' says "if you're not trying you're dying."
• My education and the ability to keep learning. I love learning and I know that sounds so incredibly nerdy but I am so thankful for it and I can't wait to learn more about everything.

So I'm done with the whole 'I don't know if I should put them up on my Friends list' game. I'm not sure if anyone else has this battle in their mind about whether or not they should put someone up on their list because of either long time lack of communcation or not really knowing that person but think that their blog is amazing or whatever the case may be but I do.

I have found people in this blogging world that are...

• friends that I use to be friends with
• friends that I haven't talked to in FOREVER
• family that I never talk to except at rare family functions
• people from high school that I know but didn't know that well but I still like looking at their blog because now that I know a little bit about them I wish I could have gotten to know them better
• just flat-out great bloggers

...and I have never known if I should or shouldn't put them up in my 'friend area'

Well guess what? I am not gonna play that game any more. I don't care if we hung out for two years or for two minutes I am putting you up because I think its more polite for a person to know that yes I consider you a friend and I look at your blog rather than be a creeper and go through two other people's blogs to look at yours. Plus I think that is why blogs were created in the first place anyways; to get people in touch with one another.

AND... (that was for you Natalie ♥)

I want to tell all the people who are on my blog lists that I added when I first started this thing and you are now private and wanted me to send you my e-mail or whatever...   I have never been an e-mail person and probably never will be but I am getting better so please try again. I'm kinda tarded.

jkleany113{at}hotmail.com

Plus I plan on being a better blogger. I have started doing these random hot messes and I plan on starting another little quirky thing to do so I have something to post. So yeah... there you go.
