We left in the morning and drove the hour and 45 minute drive to see good Old Faithful erupt. And what can i say? It sure was erupting. The earth Truly amazes me! Over all it was a wonderful weekend. I am glad i have so many wonderful adventures so close at hand.

This week was full of exciting, yet stressful things. As of Monday I was coming home for the summer, by Wednesday I was considering staying, and by Thursday it was Offical. Yes that is true. I am Staying in Idaho for the summer(spring) semester. I had an interview to be the Newest Fitness Director for Fitness Activties and I got the position! Because of this job I will be able to stay the summer. I am the director over fitness groups and activties. At first I was in complete shock when I got the call but now i'm so excited I can't Handle it! I have no many great ideas for this summer and I hope they all will work out! Here are some my ideas, tell me what you think

• Hot Mommas- A work out Group for expecting mothers


• Dam Runners- A marathon Training group for the Dam Marathon in June(which I Plan on running, well at least a half marathon)


• Relief Society Fitness Groups


• Married events, and workout groups.


• Any more Ideas are Welcome!

Its going to be such an awesome summer. I am going to miss my family so much, but i hope this will give the good opportunites to grow and learn as a leader. Thank you heavenly father for this chance to grow and the opportunity to Learn. With Christ all things are possible.

So as a reward to myself for getting this job i bought myself the cutest running out fit and it was on Sale! so here is my pic, Its a cute pair of black running capris as well as a white runners jacket! I hope you like!

Adventure of the Week!

This week i've done some awesome things! To go along with my Goal of the month of going to the gym and going something active everyday I got to do some really cool thins! On Thursday I went rock climbing for the first time since i broke my leg, and Today (saturday) i went XC Skiing! It was awesome! Here are some awesome pictures of my adventure this week!

I was so scared i was going to fall off the bridge, but it was cool anyway

It was a beautiful day. This is just a few of the beautiful sights I got to see!

If any of you get a chance to go XC skiing do it! Its a doable adventure that you WILL NOT forget. Its a great way to enjoy the outdoors while getting a chance to clear your head, my only advice to is stick to the trail and bring sunglasses!

Coming Home...and A Challenge for You

Wow its been two years and finally some of my best friends are coming home from their missions. My mind races of thoughts of what if, and my heart is filled with emotions. I want to first off say just how incredibly proud I am of these men. T., I have known you almost as far back as i can remember. I am so glad you set the standard so high for me. I don't think you will ever quite know what you have done for me over these many years. Thank you! And A., although Prior to your leaving we didn't know each other long but I had the privilege of talking to you many nights. Although you thought i was corny and immature at times i appreciate the times we spent talking about missionary work and our families. I am so proud of you, i pray that you found strength in your distant land and that you will be able to learn for the rest of your life from this experience. Boys I can't tell you how Proud i am of you! Although i won't be home the day you return my heart is with you. And i pray that you will feel my love for each of you.

I stood back this week and learned something about myself. I am the hardest on myself. I am harder on myself then any outside person could ever be. Right now i find myself stressing myself out about things. There is no outside pressure, just me. Its like a volcano in my chest that becomes active when i worry about situations. I am working on extinguishing my pressures but still, it is harder then I thought.

This semester for my Women's Health class we had to do an emotional project. I chose to do a Gratitude Journal. Its only been a few weeks but still I've been amazed at this simple experience. Each night after i read my scriptures I write down two things i am Grateful for and explain why. I am not good at writing in a journal ( this is basically my journal) but this seems easy. Some days its harder then others to define what i am grateful for but i learned so much. I am so grateful for so many things, but most of all i can say i am grateful for my savior. For me Christ=Peace. And Peace is one thing i constantly search for. I am so blessed.

Gratitude Jounral Challenge


• I challenge any of you who are reading this to do just this. Get a little notebook and make yourself a Gratitude journal. At the end of each Day write 2 things you are grateful for and why. You might just be amazed at what you learn about yourself and the peace which comes from this Idea.

A Troubled Mind

I find that my mind is troubled today. I'm sitting in the computer lab between classes and was going to work on an Exam when i decided writing everything out might be a bit more beneficial. Life is so good, but some how i feel myself wanting to take a vacation from it all. That or have my life map laid out in front of me so i could understand it all a little better. At the end of every semester I find that an apartment fill of girls hits the roof. There is always something said or done that offends one person or the other and when clean checks come around it can be a high stress or contentious situation. I am so grateful for the calming power of prayer. I really REALLY am! I am not the perfect pray-er but at the same time i know how to utilize the privilege. IF there is one thing i truly don't like it is the feeling contention with in my heart. I was praying so hard the other day to not feel upset about some measly things. All my responses to life are my own choice. I may not have control over my circumstances or the actions of others but i will always have the power as to how i choose to deal with them! I guess i should be running to class and try to silently confront this troubled mind of mine. Life is what we make it, are we going to take chances, or watch them be taken? Are we going to be the cause of a problem or the solution? Life, its our choice, how do you plan on living it?

Communication!

The power of communication is so amazing. Bad communication can have more consequences then thought possible, and good communication can being about so much good. I am writing briefly to say I am grateful for communication. I got a chance to sit and talk with someone last night and when I walked away at the end I didn't feel like our conversation was missing anything. We were both open and honest and for once i wasn't afraid to just say what was on my mind. We talked about the most random topics but still it helped us get to know each other on a new level which was truly appreciated. Even silent communication can say so much. A good friends is someone who when you're together you say absolutely nothing, yet something is clearly understood. So today, i am grateful for good communication and honesty. if you think something, don't be afraid to say it, I'd rather know I'm OK talking with you about anything then fearing I didn't say enough at all.

Communication, it takes you places
