March has flown by!

Wow I just seem to be doing worse and worse with posting, so this one is a big catch up... almost the whole month of March
 
Day 68: Sunday March 9, 2014- I just realized that my temple recommend expired at the end of February, so I went and got an interview with the Bishop and got my new one. Now I just need to see a member of the Stake Presidency.  It feels really strange not being able to just go to the temple when I want.  It is also strange how fast 2 years can pass.
 

Day 69: Monday March 10, 2014- Yay for a day off so I can catch up with laundry!

Day 70: Tuesday March 11, 2014- My family and Aubrey came over for dinner. Made way too much food, and have loads of leftovers!
 

Day 71: Wednesday March 12, 2014- Went to Sushi with Katy and Aubrey, looked up the menu beforehand... really want to try some APPERTIZERs.
 
 
Day 72: Thursday March 13, 2014- My co-worker Marissa and her daughter Thea joined me at Claimjumpers for a giant piece of chocolate cake... and some other non cake food. Delicious!
 

Day 73: Friday March 14, 2014- Guess what I found on Hulu... OUTNUMBERED! I really need to get caught up, I have only seen the first two seasons.
 

Day 74: Saturday March 15, 2014- Aubrey and I went to Lisa's to watch her sort and pack. It was actually a really fun night. I had to take pictures of two letters she got when she was student teaching.  Kids are crazy and kind of adorable!
 

Day 75: Sunday March 16, 2014- Had a crazy bout of vertigo for the first time in my life. Lucille from arrested development is hilarious, but vertigo and dizziness is NOT!
 

Day 76: Monday March 17, 2014- Went to my first physical in 8 years! About frickin time. Everything is good, and the lab work came back normal.  But I really shouldn't take that long till the next one.
 

Day 77: Tuesday March 18, 2014- Aubrey put her ice cream in the freezer so she could tell our neighbor about his barking dog. When she got back she was annoyed and needed her ice cream... this is what her ice cream looked like.   

Day 78: Wednesday March 19, 2014-I got yummy baby cupcakes for Marissa, Missy, and I. They were well needed, we had a grouchy day at work.
 

Day 79: Thursday March 19, 2014- My car doesn't like me right now. I get up to get to work this morning and this light is on!  I had to look it up and it is the low tire pressure light. I had my dad check all the tire pressures and they were fine.  This light is still on, and I think it just wants to drive me bonkers. 

Day 80: Friday March 21, 2014- Who wore her pajama jeans to work today? This girl did! 
 

Day 81: Saturday March 22, 2014- Got off work early so I could help friends move a piano, but they ended up postponing the journey, so instead I got to take a nap in my favorite soft shirt! Wonderful way to waste a Saturday afternoon.


Day 82: Sunday March 23, 2014- I finally remembered to pack up the books I borrowed from Lisa, and brought them with me when I went to church. Sadly Lisa wasn't at church; I will have to get them to her soon.
 
Day 83: Monday March 24, 2014- I so don't have a green thumb, so I normally kill of plants by either watering too much or forgetting to water; but so far my little bamboo Seamus is doing so well. I noticed new little leaves growing when I watered him!
 
Day 84: Tuesday March 25, 2014- Oh man I wanted to be a lazy bum, but my amazing roommate Sarah Dawn asked if I wanted to join her when she did her Julian Michaels video. I am really glad I did... I am out of shape, but it felt great to work out. 

 Let's hope I don't take so long to post next week! I hope everyone is having a wonderful spring so far, take some wonderful pictures, and make some great memories!

The rest of February, and the start of March...

Alright, I have been so bad at keeping up the posting, but I have been pretty good at taking pictures.  So this post is the catching up post!  I really have been really lucky with all my adventures. =)
 
Day 55: Monday, February 24th, 2014- I had the great opportunity to hang out with my friend Samiee "Samalamadingdong" Grange, and her adorable munchkin Clarice.  She really doesn't like people much, but she decided to take a nap on me, and I was okay with that.


Day 56: Tuesday, February 25th, 2014- Last day in Utah, and last temple visited. I was able to go inside the Oquirrh Mountain temple and it was beautiful and peaceful and busy.  I love the way I feel when I am in the temple.


Day 57: Wednesday February 26th, 2014- Went to dinner with Aubrey and Angela and enjoyed good food and good company.  Look at my giant Lemonade!


Day 58: Thursday, February 27th, 2014- Forgot to get a good picture, so here is my keyboard that I am at for the day.



Day 59: Friday, February 28th, 2014- Went with Maria to get our race packet and then went to find a fun race outfit. When we got done and I got home, I realized my necklace was already glowing. whoops. =)


Day 60: Saturday, March 1st, 2014- We did it... we did our 5k.  It was really fun, but man I am out of shape and wore the wrong shoes.
 
 

Day 61: Sunday, March 2nd, 2014- Lisa was so sweet, she brought me flowers. I wasn't able to make it to Stake Conference and Lisa made my day bringing me these and spending some time with me.



Day 62: Monday, March 3rd, 2014- Aubrey and I went to see "Son of God" and got our Icee's. And we came across this deal... with this cup I can get an Icee or soda for $3, for the whole year.


   
 Day 63: Tuesday, March 4th, 2014- I was really grouchy yesterday and I found this on my facebook wall this morning. Thank you Naomi for thinking of me, and making me smile.
 
 
Day 64: Wednesday, March 5th, 2014- Cathie got us a cake to celebrate our year mark at work, and for still maintaining sanity. (Well the sanity part isn't proven yet.)
 
 
Day 65: Thursday, March 6th, 2014- Made a yummy curry and watched some TV. A nice relaxing evening.
 
Day 66: Friday, March 7th, 2014- A day I would rather be outside instead of working. It was a nice spring day, and I wanted to go out walking and exploring, but I got to work instead.
 
 
Day 67: Saturday, March 8th, 2014- Found this in the store today. Didn't get it but had to document that I have a color!
 
 
Just about caught up! Phew... hopefully I don't get so far behind again.

February's goal... achieved!


February's goal for me was to do the 30 Day Plank Challenge, and while I never made it to the goal of 5 minutes straight of planking, I did notice some good changes with my core, and I am now able to do the plank for over a minute! Pretty good for a girl who nearly collapsed doing 20 second when she started.  Now I am still only doing Level 2, but I feel pretty good about never having to do a Level 1!

So March's goal that I have already started is the 30 Day Squat Challenge.  So far I love it. My legs are the strongest part of my body, so I feel good about being able to do the workout!
