What a Wonderful Day

Today was a really great day to be had. Despite waking up slightly sick and getting random dizzy spells throughout the day, I'm glad I was able to get up and do the things that I had today. My friend Andrea came over to my sisters around 10am and we headed over to the temple and did baptisms. It was great. I must say that I ALWAYS come out of the temple feeling clean and pure every single time, and, being inside always makes me feel so amazing as well. I wouldn't trade the feelings I've had in the temple for anything else. They're priceless....After that we went to her house and did our hair and makeup and just got ready for the day. We headed over to Cracker and co. Cafe for lunch (which was AMAZING, 5 stars to them for sure)then headed over to Deseret Book to look around...After that we headed back over to the temple and took a bunch of pictures together, which again, was a lot of fun. I went back to my sisters around 5:30 and watched Cinderella with my 3 year old niece Shea, we had spaghetti for dinner and watched Wall-E, and now here I am writing about it on my blog...Even though there was nothing crazy exciting about my day, I'm glad I had it. It was extremely enjoyable and it was nice to just relax and not have to worry about work or anything. I'm enjoying my stay down here in Arizona and am sad to have to go back to the cold and snow on Saturday. Hopefully spring will come FAST! lol. I'd like to get started on my resolution of running every day (once it gets warm enough outside...until then I'll just have to settle for running on the treadmill)...Anywho...I'm gonna go now. Just thought I'd share!

2010 Already?!

So I'm sitting on my sisters couch in Mesa arizona playing around with her iPod touch. So if I forget any capital letters punctuations or spell things wrong I'll apologize now because I've never used one of these things before and I'm not going go try to go back and correct my mistakes...I've been down here in good ol arizona since December 31st...after a six hour drive from Newcastle Wyoming to Denver Colorado I then had a two hour flight from Denver to Phoenix. Needless to say that that probably wasn't the best idea considering it was new years eve and I'd had plans to stay up all night into the new year with my old college friends...but somehow I managed and stayed up almost a full 24 hours before I finally gave up and went home. Once everything starts getting funny to you and you start laughing so hard you cry I think it's time to call it a night don't you? Lol. Anyway...I seriously CANNOT believe that it's already the year 2010!!! There are just so many major events that are going to happen in my life this year and I hope i'm totally prepared for them! I've got two callings in the church. Relief society teacher and gospel doctrine teacher. Heavenly Father must be trying to TEACH me some kind of lesson eh? Lol. We shall see! Not only that but I'm going to start taking piano lessons cooking a lot more working out like a mad woman learning how to sew making more things for people in need starting up Spanish again and so much more! I'm grateful because I got my temple recommend renewed a few days ago so this whole year I'm going to try to take as many trips to the temple that I possibly can :). It's just a spectacular place to be and I totally love it I love feeling the love of my heavenly father...crazy pants...I just realized that in just 4 short weeks I will no longer have the word "teen" behind the number of my age. I'll be a woman of 20. Dang that makes me feel old when I know very well that I'm totally not haha. I'm just completely excited for his new year. I'm going to try to make myself the best possible person that I can be!....well it's getting late. I would post more but I need some freaking sleep!!!
