Running...

I'm running a half-marathon in October in Moab.
I have two months and twenty two days until it's time.
It seems like a lot, but I've never run thirteen miles before.
I'm very excited.
Also very nervous.
I have all the gear..
Now I just need to run.
I'll keep you posted on my progress.
[I think this is the only way I'm going to stay motivated].
RJ runs with me sometimes. That is also great motivation. :]
The biggest reason why I want to run this maration is because I know I can do it, but I'm scared and I want to be able to stick with a goal and accomplish it.
Not punk out at the very last minute.
Wish me luck.

I LoVe RJ!

I love RJ. Why you ask?
1. His hair... I know, it won't be there forever but until then I love it.
2. His smile.
3. He takes me places that I'd never think existed. Like Havasupai.
Do you know what Havasupai is? I didn't either.
4. His ability to act like a 5 year old.
5. His heart. He will do anything for someone in need.
6. His stubbornness, which I could also flip that and hate it about him, but...
It's kind of endearing after a while.
7. His face when he's lying. He's a terrible liar.
8. His clothes. He's hot. Oh wait, that's because I pick out his clothes. :]
9. His athleticism. I have to warn him, If I hear "Let's go on a bike ride" one more time...
10. His ability to drive me crazy! He gets under my skin until I'm ready to punch him,
but then he'll turn it around and I'll completely forget why I was mad.

The list goes on and on for ages, but I don't want to get too cheesy.

GAAA!!!!

Seriously, sometimes I wonder...
People are very interesting creatures.
They contradict everything they say, one minute it's this one minute it's that.
Can't we all just make up our minds and stick with it.
Life is meant to be enjoyed, so why is everyone so worried.
And they're mostly worried about themselves.
If everyone put themselves in just one other person's shoes once a day, I think there would be a lot more peace and a lot more happiness.
I am not saying that I am not selfish, because I am.
But I'm realizing that you can't always think about yourself, there are so many people around you. When you make a decision you affect so many others. It's kind of a scary thought.
Why can't we all be families, and live together in happiness.
I'm not diluted enough to think that the world is supposed to be chocolate and lollipops, but we need to have better attitudes and think more like children. Children think they're invincible, nothing can phase them.
Maybe we all need to be a little more like that. We need to lean on each other and boost each other up, because when you don't have friends to go to, what do you have?

Christmas Time!

I am so excited for Christmas this year. I cannot wait for it to start snowing. But by the looks of it, I may never get any snow.
I love going sledding and singing Christmas carols on Sundays with my family.
I love my winter clothes and big coats and gloves and hats.
I love holding hands with RJ at Temple Square.
I love getting homemade pajamas from my grandma.
[Really, she makes 19 pairs of pajama pants for all the grandkids. She's amazing!]
I love Christmas songs.
I love snuggling up to the fireplace with a fluffy blanket and reading a book.
[or watching the Disney Channel :)]
I love going to Idaho with my family and seeing everyone's excited faces before we open presents.
I love my mom's Christmas dinners. They are so amazing!
I love Christmas trees and decorating and shaking the presents to find out what they are.
I am so excited!!!!

Wishin and Wondering

Do you ever wonder about the people in your past that you aren't in touch with anymore?
I like to think that they liked me.
I know that I was a stupid immature girl most of the time.
I know that I was painfully shy and that was my downfall.
I thought that no one liked me... but in reality I think that I didn't like myself in turn
making people think that I didn't like them.
I know it's confusing but I regret it.
I wish I could go back and be myself.
I wish and wonder and hope.
That the people I met are doing good and that their lives are good whether or not they remember that shy girl that didn't ever speak up.
