MOTIVATION

Last year some friends and I ran the Salt Lake City Marathon's 5K. It motivated us to get going and take on another challange....the Moab 1/2 marathon. The annual Moab Marathon is in March and we are going to train our little tails off and brave the mini. I asked them if we could use those running shoes with little wheels and they said no... I dont know why, sounded good to me!

TAGGED

I have been tagged! (say it like that girl on Dennis the Menice, it sounds better) Aunt Fran tagged me and I really didn't know what that meant, so I searched some blogs and found out what I have to do...

I am supposed to name 6 things about myself that you might not know. Well, for those of you who "Really" know me, I think I am an open book and not too many secrets. But, maybe these will suprise you.

1) My biggest fear of all times is having to break down and buy cats. I live in fear of that everyday. If I have to buy my roommates at some future time, we are all in trouble!

2) My biggest addiction next to diet sodas and those baked cheddar snack mixes would be TARGET. Ask anyone we knows me where I buy EVERYTHING... I love that store!

3) I could stay in my fleece snow flake PJ's all day and be totally okay with not getting dressed (then I would feel guilty for being lazy) but not for having those PJ's on all day...

4) I never knew this about me, but a friend pointed out that I never undo all the covers. I like to sleep on one side of the bed, pillows aligned perfectly on the other side and never unmake the whole bed. I think this helps me feel good about having my bed made every morning. (oh, and I sleep with my hand curled up to my face... who knew!)

5) I secretly get mad inside when things are dirty and not cleaned to my expectations. I dont think this has anything to do with our Saturday "clean the house days!!!"

6) We all know that secretly I think Im latin... oh and I am awful with technology.

Okay, so here you have it. Here are my tags: Natalie, Brittany, Alyssa

Sunday night Ashlee, Greg, Brad, Ponkey and I all went downtown to see the Christmas lights on Temple Square. This year seemed to have a few more lights, which was the perfect way to get into the Christmas Spirit!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Just wanted to wish you all a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING and tell you all how grateful I am to have you in my life. I love this time of year because it gives me a chance to reflect on my life and see my blessings more abundantly. I know I relate a lot back to my mission, but its a perspective that I now have for how truly blessed we are. Its a perspective I hope never to forget and one I hope to pass on to my own children. I am not sure why I was chosen to be born at this time, in this country, and to the family that I was... but I am grateful for all that I have been given. I am grateful for friends and family that love me and support me in all aspects of my life. Thanks for being apart of me! Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving.

SLEEPING BEAUTIES?

Beauties??? okay, well Im not sure that is the best word to use to describe this picture... Who takes a picture of themselves sleeping? Well, after a long night at Cheesecake Factory, lots of cheesecake and more food than we could handle... we went into what I like to call "FOOD COMA" Its where you over indulge and immediately put on your pjs and go to bed! Its so fun and really healthy for you... I promise, try it!

CHEESECAKE FACTORY

Its official we now have a Cheesecake Factory here in Utah! The nice part about it is how close it sits to our house. Our friend Nancy actually went and waited for a few hours so we could get a place. It was so yummy and the best part about it was the free cheesecake from our waiter! Im pretty sure you will need to come visit if you dont have one close to you...

More Halloween Pictures...

OCTOBER 31, 2007

This Halloween my roommates and I decided to bag the halloween parties and have our own little get together. We had a fun time playing games, eating homemade soup, and laughing all night. These are some of my roommates and I being silly....more to come.
