Day 2 (oops!)

I told you I would skips like 10 days!! I’m back :)
Today I am grateful for a healthy body. In school I hear about so many conditions and sicknesses that people can have and every single time I think, “wow I’m blessed!” Sometimes I complain about my body, or how I look, or how my teeth aren’t perfect..I always thought they were until I started Dental Hygiene school :) But in reality, I love my body. I am so grateful that I have a healthy body that allows me to do what I love to do.
Yesterday I ran my third half marathon. It was the toughest one for me, mostly because I only ran once a week to train for it without working out at all throughout the week. I am secretly very competitive. I have a hard time when girls my age are flying by me during races! I pushed myself very hard even though I know my body was not as in shape as it was in my last two races. I ended up finishing in 1:47 which was exactly between my other two race times! So I was happy with it! Sometimes I wish I would just run to enjoy the race. But nope, my competitive self tells me to run till my legs feel like they’re going to fall off. I ran my very hardest and about passed out at the finish line (not really but it felt like I was going to!) Maddix slept at my parent’s house so that she could watch him in the morning. We took advantage of it and went to Cheesecake Factory. You’re probably thinking that I loaded up on carbs right? Close. I ate delicious greasy onion rings! And a big salad that had about 10 pieces of lettuce in it and lots and lots of dressing :) I’m so smart. Brig was a trooper and came early with me to the race to be there the whole time. My dad surprised me and showed up at the half way mark with his video camera. I just figured that that was the only time I would see him, but nope! He showed up at about every 2 miles to video tape me! It was so nice to have someone (especially my dad) cheering me on the whole time! I have the best family.
That being said, I’m so grateful to have a body that allows me to push myself and achieve my goals.
Next up, TURKEY TROT!

i just had to add how hilarious/difficult it is to try to get a decent picture with this little boy. Just about every pic, his face was blurry and mine was not, which means he can’t stand still for 1 sec! Or he would say cheese and then hurry and turn away. Finally we got one!!
 

day 1

so i really want to do the grateful challenge that everyone is doing through november. But the problem is that I’m bad at blogging everyday, not to mention i have studying and reading and maddix and brig to play with too. so here goes day 1. we’ll see how long it lasts!
#1. MY family
 
I love these two more than anything. They make me so happy. Brig has been my hero while I’ve been in school. He does so much to help out with maddix while i’m at school and even when i’m not at school! He wakes up at 4 every morning for work and monday through wednesday he is mr. mom when he gets home. He is always trying to put a smile on my face and he’s good at it. I can’t imagine life without him. I love you babe!
I already poured out my whole soul about maddix in my last post so i wont over do it but, basically i love that kid to death. He gets cuter and cuter everyday. He is growing up so fast and talks so much! I can’t imagine life without him either!
I am so grateful for the plan of salvation and that we were able to be sealed in the temple for eternity. I love knowing that I get to be with both of my boys forever. I love them so so much!
