I did it...

June 12, 2010....Bellin Run

That's right, my first 10K and let me tell ya...I LOVED it! Jeana had an amazing post on the Bellin, and she nailed it on the head...she said she may be addicted now and oh my goodness I never thought I would be, but I am! Now let's get this straight, I'm not to the point where I LOVE running, but I LOVE the energy and the feeling I get afterwards, especially crossing the finish line...seriously it's a high like no other. Thanks Jilly Bean for getting me addicted!

Jilly, Jeana, Lisa, and I went to Green Bay Friday night and ate at the spagetti dinner and walked around the park, anticipation starting building in my stomach... We then went to the hotel and sat in the hot tub...need I say more...perfect night right?? Just us girls chilling and laughing quite a bit...I really wish Jas could've been there, but she was in Utah. To no surprise, I could'nt sleep, I love hotels, but can never sleep and I think I was way too anxious! Morning came and we started the morning drill, again anticipation building....

We were wave 5 and had to wait about a half hour to begin, walking up to the start line was incredible, I felt like a kid right before opening christmas presents...I just wanted to go!! And we were off! Jill of course shot ahead of us (She's a pro!) Jeana and I ran the race together and for that I was so happy! I did walk a little, but am pretty proud of myself, I finished! Heck that was a goal haha My official time was 1:18...next year I want better! Mile 4-6 were my hardest, I wanted to die and the sidewalk was looking better and better with each step, but I pushed myself no help to the charlie-horse in my big toe or the cramp in my left foot....and like I said before crossing that finish line was GREAT! Granted the last 1.2 miles, there are people lining the side of the road...of course I couldn't stop running infront of them, that pushed me also hahaha And I do believe I jumped up in the air after finishing, yes that crazy girl at the end was me and I'm proud of that :)

I regreted it for a day or two afterwards, but I loved every minute of it! Thanks Sisters and Lisa for such a fun time, many jokes and laughs were had and I look forward to next year...also the next race hehe that's right...we are signed up for the Packer Run July 31st. Love you Sisters!! You're my Rock!

Ok I just had to share these pics....I seriously have the MOST
BEAUTIFUL,
FUNNIEST, SMARTEST, BESTEST sisters in the world!!!!

Human Nature???

Today I was thrown back into reality big time, Arizona was a BLAST!! (Posts for that coming soon) However, Monday morning...UGH enough said right??? Well first thing this morning, we had miscommnuication and mis understanding of the schedule, let me tell you it's been a morning.

Well the head of RT came down and we were trying to figure out how in the world we all missed this and kind of laughing at our morning thus far. He asked me about doing vitals, and I said I didn't know how and he asked if I was a CNA/MA and my reply came quick..."No I'm nothing" I didn't think anything of it, but he just laughed and said..."That it about the most comfident thing I ever heard you say" Now that got me thinking...Ironically I am reading Dieter F. Uchtfork's book The Remarkable Soul of a Woman...of course I am something, but it's human nature to point out and be most confident about our flaws...why is that?? I'm sure our Father in Heaven is sad when we do this and his heart aches as we, his creation and children, put ourselves down and think less than what we are!

So after thinking about this for awhile now and feeling bad that I thought so negative ( Yes I've been on a kick about staying positve..it's an experiment let's say) I've decided to say what I am to prove my pervious statment wrong!!!

I am...

a daughter

a sister

an aunt

a cousin

a friend

a student

a daughter of my Heavenly Father

I am Something

I challenge you...well those of you that are nice enough to read my blog :) to do the same....what are you?? Make a list and believe it!

Love you!

Wipeout!!!

Call me CRAZY, but I want to compete on the ABC show....WIPEOUT!!!! If you have not seen it, watch it, its hilarious and looks like so much fun (well painful also, but hey no pain no gain right??) I have my application done and all I have to do is upload a picture and submit it...if I hear back I will first need to audition, then possibly get on the show!! Chance to win $50,000!!!!!!! Oh my goodness I get so excited thinking about it, I just think I could bring much laughter in many homes at the cost of me getting beat up hahaha just a thought, check out the show and if I get sooo lucky and actually get picked I will be sure to let you all know :)

Things I couldn't live without...

Jeana did this post awhile ago and she just wrote on my facebook asking me to update my blog...just for you Jean!!

When I think of things that I couldn't live without, alot of things comes to mind...(don't judge me I know I am spoiled)

First thing that comes to mind is my Family all the way!!! In all honesty they are the primary reason I moved home and decided to go to school here...I gave up my social wonderful life in AZ so I could be home with my famiy and be able to be there for them whenever I can!

I agree with Jeana on her post when she mentioned her straightener..oh my goodness I would die withouut it. Thanks to my family genes I have massive frizzy curly wavy hair...and let's say its just cute (or my own words and Ivy's...TUTE) So thank you straightener for taming my uncontrolable hair and thanks to on the days that I don't wake up early enough to do it or have the energy to do it (Which are A LOT!!) my diffuser!!! Again such a lifesaver!!!
I'm also with Jeana on MAC compact...she got me hooked!! It's AMAZING.....expensive but seriously is lasts so dang long!!!! No lie I ordered my first one with Jeana back in September I think and guess what?? It's still going strong! It's just barely showing the bottom...LOVE LOVE LOVE

Growing up I was known as the BAG LADY!!! Yes I am proud of that and honestly I have tons and want more actually, I just love purses!!


3 Cheers to my Ipod!!! and now to my wonderful most wonderful portable speakers....I trained for the front desk at the hospital and this past week I filled in and the girl that trained me had them and said it was really nice to have soft music going while you work...well thursday I didn't have them yet and let me tell ya it was a long day...but friday oh friday!! seriously it kept me from going insane for sure!




Yes I am a phone junkie...it's my life line!!! I honestly would be lost without it and am soooo grateful I have it!! When I was in AZ it was my life line to my family, and now that I'm home its my life line to my friends in AZ!!! Not a day goes by without a call made or a text sent/recieved....somedays maybe too many...ok thats crazy of course there can never be too many haha

Ok I guess I will give a little shout out my friends too..they're kinda GREAT!!! I have the BEST friends in the whole wide world!!

So there are a few things that I couldn't live without...well besides my family and friends I could live without all of those things, but why should I when I can have them :)

LOVE YOU!!! (happy Jeana??)
