Alive!

So about 20 minutes ago, I decided to just up and go run a mile. It was really random and a stretch considering I have never run a mile straight in my life. So I quickly changed into my capris and runners and left for a run. I was so determined to run the whole mile that I set marks along the way. I made it all the way to the 1/2 mile mark, then realized how far I had run without really thinking anything about it. I had run a half a mile in a little over 6 minutes and I didn't know if I would be able to run the rest, but, I did! I saw the hill where my run would end and was so happy I had to just stop for a sec once I got to the top, not to catch my breath, but to realize that I just ran a full mile!! I haven't ran in over a year and I was able to just put on my shoes and go! I feel So Alive!! I hope I will be able to run more this week. It was a blast!!

Onions

So yesterday while I was cooking dinner, I had to cut up two onions for the soup. I started to get a little teary eyed, then I got this brilliant idea to sit down at the same level as the onions. Crazy? No. It was the best thing ever!!! My eyes were not bugged by the onions at all! I thought this would be the best thing to post on my blog so whoever reads can do the same while cutting their onions.

So the onions were for this really yummy triple tomato soup.
Sadly we only had Italian stewed tomatoes and no regular canned tomatoes so the soup kinda tasted like pasta sauce but it was still really yummy.
I also made some french bread to go with the soup. Best homemade bread ever! After dinner we had some homemade Danish puffs. If you have never had a Danish puff before, I recommend trying one. They are really good, kinda like a cookie with a doughnut on top.

On tuesday for our fhe we made a movie. There were three groups. I was in number one. Each group had to film a certain act for the movie, act 1, 2 or 3. The fun part about it was that each act had the same characters but different people playing them. It was a lot of fun and really random. I was the mom of Eli and my scene in our act was me/mom getting kidnapped. I was talking about how awesome my son was while walking around the parking lot when a stranger asked me for some help. After I said yes, BAM!! I was knocked out and in the back of his car. The last scene for me was texting my son help. It wasn't really planned out what I was going to say so when the camera started rolling it was improv from then on. It was really fun just messing around for a random movie that we made in fhe. We are going to watch the movie next week. It's going to be fun!

My first long speech in Public Speaking is in two weeks. My topic is The history of dirt bike racing. I just have to talk about the basics, so I don't loose my audience from speaking about things they don't understand.

Next week is my first exam in Sociology! Yay! Hopefully I will be able to get a good grade on that, to start off the rest of the exams for the semester.

I am really having a good time in instatute. I love the random/funny/weird/cute guys/men that are in my class. They are all so happy and always have something fun or spiritual to say in class.

I hope you all are having a good week!!

My year so far.

So, because I haven't blogged since the beginning of January and its now the end of February I might as well tell you all what has happened so far this year.

-I got almost all of the classes I wanted for school.
-I am taking Public Speaking, Sociology, Aerobics, Weight Training and a D&C Institute class.
-I am really enjoying my classes, they are fun. Also, I am really lucky have a Priesthood holder in almost all of them!!
-I applied for a job, but didn't get it. That's ok, I will look somewhere else.
-I had my first speech in public speaking. I was a little nervous, but was ok in the end.
-I applied for my very own checking and savings account!! I am a big girl now:)

-I went to Lake Tahoe for the Presidents day break with my family. We were invited to go to my awesome cousins cabin with them. It was a lot of fun and really cool to be able to spend a weekend with my cousins.

-I went to church while in Tahoe. It was a really good experience to be able to go to a Spanish/English  branch.
-My awesome cousin and aunt took me and my sister shopping. It was a blast!
-I met a bunch of really cute guys/men at school and church and they are all RMs. Some of them are the    coolest dudes around.
I- have become really close to my cousin in the past two months. Which I am really grateful for.

So this is my year so far....at least what I can remember right now.

New year:)

So I really want to start blogging about my schooling and all the random little things that are going on in my life. That is why I started this blog. To let my friends and family in on what I am up too. So far I am getting ready for the new school semester. I really enjoyed this past semester and I loved the winter break. I am hoping to find a nice job before the semester starts so I will be able to help pay for a car and whatever else might pop up down the road. 


This is my blog. 


A place for my thoughts and interests. Where this fresh new year will be documented, and hopefully many more.


I have a feeling this year is going to be good, really good
