spur of the moment

I feel like "spur of the moment" describes me to the letter. I love doing things spur of the moment. I just come up with an idea and I have to do it and I can't get it out of my head. Kinda like being OCD. I do it until I am sick of it and done with that project. Sometimes it's awesome and it makes me motivated to do different things like:

- Doing hours and hours of family history
- Crocheting for almost a whole Christmas break
- Being motivated to do my homework
- Different pieces of artwork

and so on.

However, on the other side, being "spur of the moment" is not always with projects, but getting an idea and having to do it.

So a couple of weeks ago, my friend and I decided to go home to Meridian for the weekend. It however, was not the best idea.... because 1) It was in February and 2) it was snowing. I really just wanted to go and was definitely being stubborn. It was an... experience that I won't ever forget, and I never want to drive in a snow storm again! We did have some fun on the drive back to Provo with the roads being clear.

and the base keeps runnin runnin...


So I have a guilty pleasure. I really like the show "The Biggest Loser." I like the transformations of each contestant and seeing how much weight they can lose each week and at the end. I also liked how I could sit down and eat junk food while I watched them work. haha suckas! Anyways, towards the end of one of the seasons, the players had to run a marathon. For some reason, that really motivated me and made me want to do something awesome like that. Also, I work with this guy who is really into running like every single race there is. Definitely made me feel like a total bum.

That is when I decided to get into shape and get ready for a 5k. If you know me, this is a big deal. I am very anti ever having to exercise most of the time. So I have been starting to get in shape and find the love of running, I guess for me it comes and goes, hopefully it will stay.

I challenge you to exercise. Get in shape like me! Run this race with me!

Wish me luck!

P.S. If you haven't heard the song "Just A Fool" by Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton, you totally should listen to it. It's great!

The Best Major-- The Best Friends

Hands down, no exception, there's nothing better than my major-- Elementary Education. Why? Good question let me tell ya.

1. I'm going to be a teacher!! Who doesn't like kids? They are so fun and make me smile. They really are great and can teach us a lot! They are crazy yes, but they are so funny and say the darnedest things! Let me tell you a few conversations I had with some 2nd graders.

       A. Guy: Are you married?
            Me: No
           Girl: You look pretty enough to be married.

       B. Girl: You are just so sweet!
            Me: Aww, thanks.
            Girl: I want to be a teacher when I grow up... or an Astronaut!
            (That girl takes after my own heart!)

       C. Me: I go to school over there.
           Guy: At BYU?
           Me: Yep.
           Girl: My dad goes to BYU, do you know him??


2. I have made some pretty great friends! Nuff said.
