Horseback riding. Yes, please.

Go to the Best Friends Animal Society

Emerald Pools: Just the name alone sounds fantastic!

Why the list? I say, why not?! Why not enjoy the things I have around me. I love the outdoors, and it can be just what I need. To get out and about. Enjoy the nature that God has given to us. Love life, relax and take it all in. After all, it might just reduce that stress, just give me that time to think, have fun, smile, and remind  myself of what beautiful things are here on the earth.

On that note, I have been thinking. Run a half marathon? Should I start training for one? Not sure. Reason #1: Will I be motivated enough to go running 6 days a week? #2: Do I have anyone to run with to make sure I go? #3: Does it even sound enjoyable?!

Well, that is what is on my mind for right now. We shall see. Just gotta take it one day at a time. Oh, SUU, how you come to surprise me. I know this is for me to be here, now the question: Why?!? Well, guess that's just what I am trying to figure out. Or maybe I should just stop asking and start living.  Good call, guess I will try that one.

Oh, how I am so thankful for everything that I am given. First off, I just want to say that I am so thankful that I have such a wonderful, supporting family. My parents: Mom, well she just deals with me no matter what. She never does know what to expect when she gets a phone call from me. Dad, he is so silly. I love him. And he teaches me so much all the time. I am so thankful to be like him. (Never thought I would EVER say that, did ya!?!) Andrew, he is such an example to me, so patient, kind, loving, and always does things that invite the Spirit into his life. Best role model ever. Hannah, such perseverance. Never have I ever met someone who will continue no matter what to become better at something she loves. How I wish I could be so dedicated. No matter how much I give her a hard time, I love her so much.

I just noticed, I am SO all over the place right now. I haven't actually blogged in a while, forgot how relieving it is.  But, these were the main thoughts I have had in my head for the last few days. Figured I would spit them out onto the screen. Maybe now I won't be so confused about things. Hmmm, I don't know. But, what I do know is that I am so grateful for my life, for the things I am so blessed to have, some being an education, a car, a family to go home to (literally and can call at any time), friends, a place to live, and the gospel in my life.

Why such optimism today? Well, why NOT?!
