-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.

Thankful
Today I feel thankful. Sometime I get so wrapped up in whats going around me (or not going on around me) that I forget how much I have been blessed with. I have done this before where I list what I am thankful for, and its really good for me to go back and look over it when I am having a not-so-thankful day.
1. Sam. He is so funny and sweet to me. Today he got off work early and brought me a drink because he knew I would want one. That makes me feel loved.
2. Our House. We are SO lucky to have our house. A lot of people are in danger of loosing their houses because of fires right now. I am so lucky that I am not fearful of that. I am so lucky that we can afford our office. Many other people have lost their homes because of the economy. I am so glad that we have not had to worry about that.
3. My family. I really have the sweetest best family ever. My parents are so sweet and show me the best example. They are good, honest, hard working people. Nowadays that is quite rare. My sisters are the best too! I am so blessed that my sisters are my best friends. We get a long and have had so many fun adventures. I am so blessed to be able to travel with them.
4. My job. Number one glad that I have a job. Number two so blessed that I have good job that I feel confident in, and that I can really excel in. Those are pretty hot commodities.
5. St. George. I am seriously so grateful for St. George. I know many people think its just some stupid small town between Vegas and Salt Lake, or a pit stop on the way to Zion, but to me its home. I love the weather, the area, the people, the atmosphere, the small/big town that it is. I can't imagine going anywhere for very long and leaving this place. It really is the greatest place on earth.
6. Friends. Its fun to see our friends and get together with them. Sam and I have been so lucky to find friends everywhere we go. We are so lucky that there are so many great people that we share interests with. Friends really are the best.
7. Gator. Gator is the best, and I am the only the slightest bit sad to admit that I am one of those weird dog people. He is so much fun and makes me and Sam both so happy. We just love our little Gatorlicious.
8. Traveling. I have been SO BLESSED to be able to travel. I love seeing new places and experiencing different cultures and areas. I feel like traveling makes me a better person. I love having trips to look forward to and having past trips to look back on. Traveling is really important to me and I am so lucky to have a husband that supports that, and sisters that feel the same way.
9. Exercise. After high school I started to get into working out, before that I really had no interest in it, that was one of the best choices I ever made. Exercise is important to me on so many levels. I like getting into shape and working on training for a marathon, but the emotional clarity I get from exercise is really the best part. There is something so amazing that happens after you exercise- my entire attitude and mood changes. I have more self confidence and I feel much more relaxed about life. Its amazing how that works.
10. Education. I have always been pretty into school and learning. I have pretty much always loved school. One thing I have come to learn as I get older is that education comes in LOTS of forms. Its not just a text book and lecture. I have come to learn that you can learn new things in so many different ways, you just have to look at it that way. I have learned SO MUCH through my work, through working with people, at church, from our friends and family, from Sam, from myself, from bad situations, from good situations, from failing, from being open to learning. I know I will be a perpetual student for my whole life- not necessarily because I want to go to school forever but because I want to learn from everything around me. Learning is power.
