Things I Love

-Going jogging with Jand. Poor girl has to wait for me constantly, but I love to and spend time with her. I love the way she handles life. She is seriously the chillest mom, the strongest runner, and the most go-with-the-flow type girl ever. I always feel like I can do better when I hang out with her.

- Good music. Music just sets the tone for my day, I love how you can find anything to fit your mood.

- Waking up. I had set a goal to wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual. Today I woke up 30 minutes earlier than usual and it was SO nice. I took the dog for a walk and cleaned up a little bit. It was so nice to have a minute and not feel so rushed.

- Eating healthy. I have had such a hard time since I figured out my little intolerance, but it has seriously been one of the best things for me. I have really cut A LOT of crap out. I feel so much better and healthier. Its AMAZING the difference. I have been thinking about going to this doctor a friend told me about that can hopefully help with the gluten thing. I think that even if he can help, I still will try to avoid as much gluten as possible. I like the way I feel without eating it.

- The sunshine

- Dreams that are probably as size too big. I love having ideas that scare me a little bit. I love imagining things just beyond my comfort level, and trying to get a plan to accomplish them. I love plans.

- Running. Marathon training is in full swing. I love the way I feel after a run and knowing that I worked hard.

- I love working hard.

- I love lists.  I can get SO MUCH more done if I have a "to do" list. I love them.

- My family. I feel SO lucky to have them and to have good relationships with them. I am lucky to be in my family.

Things I LOVE

-I love the rain. It has been rainy the past little while here- and we even had some crazy flooding last weekend. Its so nice to sit and watch the rain. The Bryce Canyon half was over the weekend and it rained the entire race. It was mostly a misty rain and it was actually really nice. I loved getting into my sweats after- I forgot how much I love to get into sweats after a run and watch the rain.

- I love primary. We have the cutest primary kids. Sam had a wakeboarding thing on Sunday, so I went to church by myself and taught primary. My kids are so sweet and so funny. I love being able to teach them- and let them teach me.

- I love a clean house. Last night after work I spent a good two hours cleaning up the house and moving things around. I love when things are cleaning up and organized. I love getting rid of clutter and making things simple. It so nice to be in a clean house.

- I love going to lunch with my family. On Tuesday I met up with Kati, my mom, and my dad for lunch (Ash was laying out). It was so fun to sit and have lunch with them. Because we all work we rarely get to go to lunch all together. It was so fun. I forget how funny my dad is. What a kidster he is.

- I love making plans. I love to plan things out and have things to look forward to.

- I love walking with my friends. This week I met up with Abee and Steph to go for a walk. I loved it! I love talking to them and spending time with them. I love getting out and doing something good.

Things I Love

 I decided to start doing a thing a love post for my blog. I have been working on my blog book from 2011 and I really think that's what's missing. It's nice to recognize the things around me that I really love ... It's a good reminder to me. So, here goes.


I love cheetah print and mixing it with other patterns in my clothes




















I love these fake green plants from Ikea and I have them all over my house. I especially love them in white pots

I love my new running shoes. They make me excited to work out

I love that Sam is so happy at the cable park. Wake boarding just makes him so happy, and I love that.

I have been loving root beer lately. It seriously has just been hitting the spot lately. I especially love it from a glass bottle

I love seeing my dad more. He has come by my office a few times in the past week and we went to lunch together. I love spending time with him. He is the perfect balance of wisdom and humor. I am so happy that he has time to spend with me now.
