Thanks to this friend and his post, I have felt the necessary kick-in-the-pants sensation that I needed to check in with myself on my New Year’s Resolutions. Now, if you’d like, you can check out my original New Year’s Resolutions post here, just to refresh yourself on what I was setting myself up for. Or you can just keep …
Tuesday Tell-All, Spring Break Edition
*This picture perfectly sums up my idea of what spring break should look like: a little sugar, a little health, and a little brainwork. And of course, the whole lovely scene took place in our sunny kitchen in the quiet of late afternoon. Perfect! *Just to clarify, I didn’t get the university’s spring break this …
Mission Reunion
One thing I’d always looked forward to after getting home from my mission was going to mission reunions. Since my mission president is from Guatemala, however, that hadn’t exactly happened. Until now. On Saturday afternoon, my mission president was put in as a General Authority in our church. Pretty sweet, eh? Anyway, because of this, …
Marathon Training, Week Thirteen
Well here I am, less than three weeks away from marathon day, and I’m still thinking that this training will just go on forever. Matt keeps saying how he can’t wait until “this dang marathon” is just over and done with, but I think I’m going to have a harder time. I once read something …
Creepy Red-Eye Man
In case you needed fresh proof that the human race is indeed getting stranger (not to mention sketchier), I ask you to gaze on this little sign that I found taped up at the bus stop as I waited to take the shuttle up to campus. I sincerely hope with everything in me that it …
Tuesday Tell-All
*Have I mentioned before how Matt is growing an avocado plant from an avocado that I bought last summer? It’s kind of a funny story, actually—he had started growing an avocado plant on his mission and has just always wanted to grow another one, so he started dropping not-so-subtle hints soon after we got married that …
Here’s What’s Cooking…Creamy White Chicken Chili
Okay, so I know I already did a white chicken chili recipe on here. But this new recipe that I got from a friend at church is just WAAAY too amazing not to share. Seriously, I just made this recipe last week, and I’m already itching to make it again. The best part? It’s much …
Marathon Training, Week Twelve
This is about how I felt on Mile 17 of Saturday’s long run–in need of a solid bathroom break and with no finish line in sight. But I did it! I really did it! I ran 20 miles straight without having to stop to walk once! I’m still kind of in disbelief, actually. As a …
