- 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!
Yay! I love reading your blog and was so so so happy that you could be there for mine and Ian's wedding! :) It meant a ton!
