A Night of Spontaneity

Friday night, such a fantastic night. Sometimes, we get so stressed out with all the stuff we have to do. Papers, tests, quizzes, homework, blah, blah, blah. Then, everyone gets excited for Friday night. We get so excited to do something fun that we actually can't think of anything. We end up sitting around for an hour trying to come up with ideas but no one committing to any of them. Finally, we walk to the coco bean. Well, some of us walked while others drove. As we finish our hot chocolate we are then faced again with the same question, what are we going to do now? Many decide that they want to drive back, the rest of us, Me, Nadya, Taylor and Tanner continue to walk home. We then figure, why not just do some random stuff instead of sitting around the apartment trying to figure out what to do. We ended up "walking" home for about an hour and a half just being random: getting ice cream, playing in the park, taking LOTS of pictures. Sometimes it's just fun to be crazy. It was a night of just what the doctor ordered.

Why I am who I am....

This last weekend I got to go to St. George Utah to see my dad run his 6th marathon. It was so fun to get to see my parents, sister, and nephew. We had a lot of fun being with each other. It poured rain the whole marathon. My dad is amazing and finished even though his legs were constantly cramped after mile 17 and he was freezing from the cold and constant rain. I am so grateful for the examples of my mom and dad. They raised me to be the best I can and I am can't thank them enough. They love each other and our family more than anything else. I am also grateful for the example of my big sister. She is a awesome sister, wife and mommy! I love my family!
