I'll see you there!

This Saturday, I'll be staging a comeback of sorts.

Last year, I ran the Young Alumni 5K.

One broken leg later, I'm back for seconds.

I'd love to make it a tradition.

And I'd love to have friends join me.

See you there!

A good cry

I had a breakdown today. Don't worry, I'm okay. I just let the stress of life get to me. I forgot for a moment that:

"Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you, but on what happens inside of you."

~President Harold B. Lee

I learned a few things:

1. It's okay to have a good cry now and then. Just because you cry sometimes doesn't mean you're not a happy person.
2. Sometimes it's hard to keep myself convinced that, "Someday it will all be worth it," as my dad says.
3. Good cries are always best accompanied by good hugs.
4. I'm ready for a big change.

Another confession

While singing my guts out to the soundtrack today, I realized that someday I would love to play this role.

It's truly an amazing show. And Millie is just so spunky.

A handful of things that make me smile

*Fresh strawberries with sugar

*Diet Dr. Pepper

*Lunch with work friends

*Going to musicals - like the Lion King!

*Wedding receptions and seeing old friends

*Cool fall air at night

*Living in the city

*Live outdoor concerts

*Baseball games

*Leaves changing color

*Listening to General Conference on my iPod on my way to work

*Spontaneous shopping trips

*Feeling stronger

*Chalupas and Baja Blasts with people who rock my socks

*Feeling patriotic, especially while setting up flags at the Sandy Healing Fields

*Laughing with my sisters (I think that makes the list every time)

*Reading the Book of Mormon

Found this today via Uber Chic for Cheap. You can find the original here.

I found it so deeply true.

A secret

I have a secret dream. And I'm going to let you in on it.
Please don't laugh.
Because I'm sure you know that I am far from being coordinated or athletically talented AT ALL.

But - since high school, I've always wanted to teach aerobics. Crazy? Maybe so. Especially since I get my butt kicked every week at RS Aerobics (but I love it anyway).

I just LOVE to move! I love the feeling after a good, butt-kicking workout. I actually like feeling sore the day after because I know I worked hard. And (as I'm sure you know) I love to teach. Put the two together, and you've got a magic combination.

Oh well - setting lofty goals is a good thing right? ;)
