It's been a long time!

I wish I had some fun pictures to put up with this post, but I don't :( It has been so long since I've posted anything. Things have been a little busy around here! I started a new job about a month ago and am still trying to get into some kind of routine! I have decided that working out on Friday and Saturday only is NOT cutting it! Everyone knows how much I like to work out and be active, and unfortunately I have to say that I have been a big slacker in that department as of late :( I am starting over this Monday. I am really going to try to get though this P90X business! The guy is so annoying tho! lol! My goal for now is to get through one week. I haven't even done that yet! So, starting Monday I will be waking up at 6:00 or 6:30AM to work out. I have decided that I don't like working out at night because I don't like not washing my hair at night and in the morning. It is just too much, so morning it is! I woke up at 6:30 every day on the mission, I can do it now too!

On another note.. Poor Eric has had quite the week! He's had this cough for about 3 weeks now. The stubborn little bugger won't go away! Also, He had to go to the Dr. yesterday for his immunization stuff for school. He got a tetnis shot, TB test, Blood work and some other shot, so today his arms are REALLY sore AND he doesn't feel good :( He is actually napping at this very moment, which is UNHEARD of! He also has two canker sores, one of which is really big and painful:( And to top everything off he has a hang nail on his finger that is all swollen and irritated. Poor thing! lol! It is kind of funny tho, because it's such a small thing but they hurt so much! To hear him complain about it is a little amusing. This tough guy taken down by the hangnail! lol!

In light of the rain I've decided to make a list of my favorite things (thank you Julie Andrews!)(these are in no specific order)

1. My husband. (Even when he drives me crazy. Lol! Not that it's often :) )
2. Really nice paper. Whether it's drawing paper or patterned it doesn't matter, as long as it has a nice feel, and quality!
3. Pens. But not just any pen! Ones that have a fine tip and good ink flow. Not just the liquid ink, because I like a good ole ball point too :)
4. Snuggling and cuddling
5. Sitting at the beach and watching/ listening to the waves.
6. Sunsets.
7. The Sky.
8. Stars (as in the ones that twinkle at night!)
9. My camera/taking pictures.
10. Painting/ drawing. Whether it's me painting or I'm looking at paintings.
11. Driving down PCH on a nice day with the windows down, sunroof open, blasting some sweet tunes and singing along of course!
12. Hanging out with friends.
13. A good adventure! They are EVERYWHERE! You just have to look for them!
14. Dogs :)
15. Soccer. Watching or Playing.
16. Doing active stuff. Sports, outdoorsy stuff.
17. My Family and memories of my family. Fishing with Steve, Sitting with dad in his music room listening to Phantom or Enya, Baking with mom or singing in the tub, Mike farting in my face... (Steve did too).
18. Stationary stores in Hong Kong
19. The temple.
20. Spiritual moments where Heavenly Father seems to wrap his arms around, or when you just feel the spirit so strongly that you want to jump and dance around like you were Gene Kelly in "Singin' in the Rain".
21. The rain. And singing and dancing in it! Lol
22. Watching a good movie when it's cold outside and you're all cozy and snuggled up in a blanket with the one you love. Or Suggled up in a blanket and WITH those you love!

And of course, I will end there on the best number ever! lol! I was only going to do 20 but I was on a roll! This post is far too long now, so I will leave you with this... What do you love? What makes you happy? Thinking about the things that fill your heart with joy and make your life full will help you remember who you are and how it's the simple things in life that really matter. It keeps you young too! ;) So make a list and post it so we all can see what eachother love!
