Truth Tuesday

I haven't posted in a while. I feel like I've been really busy. In all reality, there are a bajillion other people in this world that are far busier than I am, but when you go from doing nothing all day to working all day, you feel busy. But here are some updates and some things that are on my mind!

• Back in the summer of 2009, I ran the Ragnar Relay. For those unfamiliar with it, it's a huge relay race that goes from Logan to Park City. 180 miles, 12 teammates, 2 vans, and one heck of a time. Also, one heck of a body killer. I couldn't walk properly for about a week and a half and ever since that summer my knees have never been the same. I can't run more than a mile without a pain. Well, recently I went to the "Muscle Whisperer" aka a guy named Josh Christensen. This is all going to sound crazy, but believe me...it works. First, he tests 300 different muscles in your body saying, "Put your leg/arm/foot/head here. Now resist," as he pushes. If you can resist, that part of your muscle is working. Nine different times during this process, I couldn't resist the push. It's a crazy thing. You try with all your might to resist a push with his blasted pinky and you can't. Obviously, my whole leg muscle wasn't out, but a small part of it wasn't active. In fact, the two main muscles connected to my knee weren't working properly. I went back, he pushes down on some pressure points as he stimulates the muscle and basically reactivates it. Then, he says, "Put your leg here. Now resist." and BOOM. You can resist again. My knee has been feeling LOADS better and he assured me it will feel great in no time. He also fixes allergies and is also a chiropractor. We're hoping Kam can get his constant nasal congestion cured. More on that later. 
• I have a newfound addiction to Flamin' Hot Cheetos. I am NOT one for spicy foods, but Kameron has been trying will all his might to adapt my taste buds to like spicy. Even though these Cheetos kill my mouth after a while, I seriously can't stop eating them and I think I'm getting used to spicy food. They even stain your fingers red no matter how much you wash them. 
• I'm really like working at Home Depot. They are giving me SO many hours. While I'm grateful to be busy and to be earning more money, they are LONG days and I have to work Memorial Day instead of spend it with my awesome family. All in all, I can't complain about being employed, especially since my coworkers are amazing, my bosses rock, the customers are the best, and it's five minutes from my house. I'm pretty lucky, I guess. 
• One of my best friends, Mrs. Jill (Robinson) Binks got married to my other friend Ian Binks last weekend. I got to be there the whole day with them. I went to the sealing, the luncheon and most of the reception. It was so great to see them happily married after having such a long engagement and wanting to be married so badly. It was also so wonderful to remember my own wedding day and remember what a blessing it is to be married to my best friend. Sometimes I get used to being married because it was such an easy transition, and I forget what a good thing I have. This weekend was a great reminder of how lucky I am, and I'm so happy for Ian and Jill. 

That's all for today. Sorry it was a longer post! I'll try to keep them shorter but more frequent. Have a wondrous Tuesday!  

'Ello, Love...

Ohhh blogging friends. How I've missed you.

I haven't blogged in a while. You see, I got a job and while I don't have many hours yet, I've had to wake up earlier than I'm used to and I've just been too tired and lazy to blog. But here I am!

Today I want to blog about things I love because, let's face it, who doesn't like loving stuff?

• I love soccer. I just joined an adult soccer league and played in my first game yesterday. I haven't played a real game in a LONG time, so it was great to get on the field again. I'll tell you what, though...I hurt EVERYWHERE today. Turns out it's hard to play soccer when you're out of shape.  My muscles are shot. Even my arms, which is curious because I played a sport that frowns upon the use of hands/arms.
• I love being employed. I just got a job as a cashier at Home Depot. While I didn't really want to work retail, it was pretty much all I could find. And let's face it, Home Depot is cool. I'm excited about wearing my orange apron. Most of all I'm excited that I'm not just sitting on the couch day in and day out while my husband works hard for us to have a living. He makes far more than I will, but I feel good that I'm at least contributing somehow. Also, this is the first job I've had in a long time that ain't minimum wage. Pretty stoked about that. 
• I love sleep. Not much more I need to say about that.
• I love remembering things from my childhood. I had a dream about Pogs the other day. Those were the bomb. I also remembered playing this computer game we had called Spelling Jungle. Not sure what sparked the memory but it's a good one. While we're on the subject of childhoods, did anyone else put plastic newspaper bags on their feet, secure them with rubberbands, and proceed to sprint around the snow-covered yard with your brothers? I sure did. 
• I love my little Sunbeam class. They're small in number and in age, they can drive me crazy on occasion, but at the end of they day I think they are the cutest darned things on the planet. This little boy named Miles...good heavens. I want to take him home with me. His dad dresses him in a semi-skater way with little tiny vans, skinny pants, button up shirts and cardigans. He's got wavy blonde hair, huge dark eyes and the cutest little voice and spirit you'll ever come across. Hopefully one day he'll marry my niece or something. 
• Last but not least, I love my dear husband. He is kind, caring, hilarious and observant. I love him more and more every single day. We've been married for three months now! The thing is, it feels like it's been at least three times that long. I mean that in the best way possible, too. I can't wait to spend the rest of forever with him. 
• Wait, one more: I really love Slurpees.
