Blisters

I went running today.

For the first time since.....July?

Oh boy.

These little babies popped up about a mile in.

Resulting in my run turning into a walk.

I was super bummed.

It felt reeeeeeaaaaaally good to run.

Weird, right?

I've decided to become a runner.

Someday I'll run a marathon.

But first things first....I need to take care of these lovely blisters.

And get my new running shoes.

They should be here sometime next week!

Along with my pepper spray.

Two very crucial items for my new hobby.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Maybe if I spoke Spanish...

  

I have a total of two channels.
They look like this:

....................fuzzy spanish channel

            blue screen of death............................

Thanks heavens my internet and DVD player work.

By the way, if anyone knows how to correctly hook up a television for local channels........well........let me know.

Fo-taw-gruffy

Remember how I used to be really good at taking millions of pictures for every event that ever happened in my life?
I just realized that I now kind of suck at that.
Not really sure what happened.
I am now making a resolution to change that.
I am going to get better again at taking pictures.
Keep your fingers crossed.....and maybe don't hold your breath quite yet.

In the meantime, here are a few songs that I have been slightly in love with lately...I hope you love them!
...
...
I mean...I guess it's okay if you don't love them. That's just something we'll have to work through together.
Also, I'm always game for new music, so any suggestions? I'll take 'em!

I'm Soooo Happy! ....For You!

:Disclaimer:
I am about to talk about relationships and marriage and stuff.
And I am a single woman.
Just...brace yourself.
It's not going to be all sappy or a pity party.
Just some of my thoughts.
It feels like lately most of my friends have been getting engaged, or married, or are having babies.
It used to be that whenever I would see a new post on Facebook announcing something like that, I would just give the complimentary "like" and move past it without giving it another thought.
I realized this a month or so ago, and stopped to wonder why I did that.
I came to the conclusion that I have conditioned myself to do so, so that I won't get jealous or upset.
Because I know that is the typical response for a young single adult woman, and I refuse to be that person.
I don't want to be angry or bitter about being single.
Especially because there are so many great things about being single.
But in the Church, getting married and having a family is something that is constantly being stressed to us.
Which is fantastic.
But I think it tends to make some singles feel like failures.
Anyhow, I digress.
So as I was evaluating why I had turned off my emotional valve, I decided to open that up and see what happened.
You want to know what happened?
I just felt so happy for all my friends who are at that point in their lives!
Like, ridiculously happy.
I was almost giddy.
These people that I love and care about so much are just living the dream!
I have had many conversations with most of these people about someday finding "the one", and having families, and what our lives will look like in the coming years.
It's just so exciting to me to see that it actually does happen!
It's not just a myth that happens to "other" people.
And I know that through the process of elimination, eventually it will be my turn.
Not in the near, foreseeable future.
But I know that when it does happen, all my friends and family will be just as happy for me as I am for them.
I am just so glad that I decided to switch my emotions back on.
Because even though this happiness is for someone else's sake, it is very real.
And any true happiness is fine by me!



Just a small handful of my close friends and their beautiful lives :)
