Quick update

I had a really good weekend! Actually a really good four day weekend. I got a lot of sun, hung out with friends, ran my best three miles ever, (even if it was on the treadmill) and cooked a lot of fun foods. Ohhh and I watched two movies without getting up and walking around or doing something else. I watched "The Greatest Game" and "P.S. I Love You". I like both of them except I cried through the whole movie "P.S. I Love You". It was ridiculously sad. I am not usually a crier but that movie really got to me.

I have recently planted some plants and am super excited about their progress, that being they are still alive hehe. Also one of those plants is a pineapple! I can't wait for that. It will take about two years so I have a lot of watering and a long time to look forward to the full growth of that. I have an indoor plant which I took from work and it seems that it is poisonous for my cats. They have been chewing on the leaves like crazy and today I came home to Cami laying by two huge piles of vomit and Tito laying in the bathroom with severe diarrhea. I am getting rid of the plant.

I am leaving for Utah on Wednesday which I am excited about. I hear how beautiful it is and have seen lots of pictures of the mountains. I must say it is a different scene then Texas and low humidity, talk about a good hair day hehe.

Well that is all I have right now. I am really tired and I think it's because I am still getting back into work mode and the heels I wore to work yesterday gave me blisters eeeks! So I am going to take a nap. Tomorrow I must start running I have slacked off yesterday and today. I feel so much better after I run. Well I hope everyone has a great Friday and a great weekend!

Running

I have not written in a while! My running went pretty well this week. I am really excited and look forward to doing it everyday. Travis bought me a Nike Sports Band! I am super excited about that too. It came with a chip which I put in my shoe and then the band reads my time, calories burned, etc. This will be great motivation for me as for now I have decided I am working on pacing first then will worry about my time and pushing myself more. It's a fun accomplishment when you wake up in the morning knowing that the day before you have done something good for yourself.

Today I went to Church with Travis. We went to gospel class after wards then I went to relief society class. All the women were really nice and I had fun. We talked about the priesthood. What it means, how it's attained and why it's important. I was excited to participate in the group as Travis has already taught me a lot about it. I asked a ton of questions of course thats just because I want to make sure I fully understand everything but they were all very helpful and generous. I was very impressed with the way they took me in. I felt like I was already part of the church family. =)

Well I had a pretty good weekend and hopefully will write more on here. I hope everyone has a great week! =)

Proud of myself

Today was my day off.  It was beautiful weather today.  I am really proud of myself for running lately.  I signed up for a half marathon in November.  It will be really exciting to feel that accomplishment when I am finished.  Last week I ran three times really good.  I went running yesterday but got tired really fast.  I am running tomorrow and Thursday and I am working on trying to find a pace that works for me.  I want to improve my running however I am struggling with improving distance first or time first.  I am going to get on the Nike website and create a training plan for my half marathon.  

I am helping with the planning of a former co-worker's baby shower and it is stressing me out a bit as I am in charge of all the games.  I am good at entertaining people as I think I am a people person but the difference here is that there will be a language barrier and about 50-60 people there.  I have the usual games planned such as the clothes pin game, the diaper changing contest, we have word finds and stuff like that.  I am not sure that we will even have room for all these games but I guess I will have to see what happens.  It's May tenth so if anyone who reads this has any ideas I will gladly take them.  

This is a really long blog and not even about my day today.  Haha I feel that I had a productive day however didn't get much done.  I have been lazy about stuff lately.  Well tomorrow is Wednesday so we are all half way through the week!  Hope all of you have a great day tomorrow and a great weekend if I don't write anything else until then.  

Super Blogger Lori...I am glad to see your new blog up and running and I think about you when I haven't updated this even though I haven't been called out on it yet.  =)

This weekend I went to a Round Rock Express baseball game. Travis threw the first pitch! I got a great picture of him haha he looked like a pro. The weather was beautiful! I love live baseball games.




On Sunday we went to Church in Temple. It's so exciting to hear about people's accomplishments, so when Travis shares with me things about his mission I get so excited. There are many things about him I look up to and I am so proud of him for having done that. What is even more exciting is he served his mission in my hometown! Church was fun this Sunday. I don't know if it's because I was excited about wearing new clothes or if it was just the warm feeling of all the families and little kids every where. There were a lot of sweet people and even a few people I recognized. That was exciting. I look forward to this Sunday. I grew up Catholic which is a very organized religion similar to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They are both very family oriented religions so it's easy to feel comfortable going to church. I have been learning about Mormonism and so far am enjoying it. I am constantly asking questions which I'm sure can get annoying but how do you learn if you don't ask? I don't drink coffee anymore and drink herbal teas. The herbal teas I already drank and I have come to realize that it's the Starbucks atmosphere that I enjoyed not necessarily the coffee hehe. Oh and they make herbal coffee! One of these days I'm gonna open a Mormon Herbal Coffee shop haha. Wow I just wrote alot.
After church Travis and I went to my parents house and we had dinner there and then went to their building that they are fixing up. It was a nice visit.
I have had a good week thus far and am looking forward to the weekend as I have Saturday off which means two day weekend! Woohoo!!! Well I hope everyone who reads this has a great week! =)

Fun day off

I had today off because I work on Saturday. I slept in...longer then I wanted eeks, then I cleaned the kitchen, organized some things and met some friends at this Sea Food place. After that I went tanning then went to the Mall. At the mall I got some more lip gloss which was much needed then I got a smoothie with pineapple and peaches. It was really sweet and tasted kind of funny. Then, I went to Wal-mart and picked up a few groceries. I looked around for a fruit basket but a metal one to hold my fruit on the counter so it looks pretty and could not find one. I was bummed so I finished up quick and left hehe. Then I got to bring all the groceries up three flights of stairs. That was fun!!! Actually it was, I have lived on my own for a long time so I make a game of how many bags I can get up at once. This is my first time to live on the third floor but, I made it in two trips. =) The sun was shining all day and the weather is beautiful. The temperature is about 76 degrees so it will be a perfect evening to go running. I have been lazy lately. I am ready to turn that around haha. I am not sure if its the computer or this blog page but I am trying to use apostrophes and it will not let me!!!!! Oh well that is all I have today. Have a great Tuesday night!

Pretty Sunday

Today was a beautiful day!  I got plenty of sleep =).  I went to church with Travis then we walked and watched a movie.  He cooked dinner and made chicken with cilantro, avocado, and salsa!  I am pretty much settled in to my new apartment and love it.  It has so many windows and is bright!  I can see the sun set every night perfectly from my balcony!!!! Well thats another so called blog hehehe.  Have a great Sunday evening!!
