So close

1. Max yelled out my name when I walked out of the hospital toward the car. I yelled his back, there were many people around. It was a precious moment. 

2. We got nice and stuffed at aunt Annie's house. Kabobs, fresh fruits and salad. YUM! 

3. Connors dad told a story about fishing golf balls out of the bottom of a pond which is very similar to what my dad did once upon a time when he was young. 

Clean like mad

1. Thankfully we are pretty tidy people, but my in laws get in to town tomorrow so we cleaned like mad today after I got home from work. 

2. We got lunch paid for at work (I ordered what Connor wanted and took it home to him for dinner because) 

3. We met up with Linnea and her friend, Andrea, Brandon, Don and Michele for lunch! Connor came to pick me up at the hospital and we jetted over to meet them. It was great fun and I love love those people! I feel spoiled to get to spend so much time with Michele recently and coming up. 

Zucchini

1. We made zucchini bread this morning before church! 

2. After church we went around delivering little teeny loaves to people in our ward. 

3. We went for a walk on the provo river trail where we took our engagement photos and Connor read fablehaven to me :) 

Let's go to market

1. I went and met up with Andrea at the provo farmers market and got all the samples!

2. We had a ward game night and I lost code names very well, but it was a ton of fun. 

3. I talked to Christopher for an hour on the phone while Connor stayed at the game night. It's nice to have friends 

Sun burn

1. I went for an hour long bike ride today and picked up a bunch of free board games from someone giving them away on KSL. Happy birthday, Connor. Then I came home and wrapped them and hid them in the closet. Shh :) 

2. I got to leave work at 1! It was so nice! And I got nice and burned after spending so much time outside. I like it though, I love getting color on my white white body. 

3. I bought a cantaloupe for 80 cents at this ghetto grocery store. 

Texas Roadhouse

3. When I left work early I went to a sale and got 5 undershirts for $15.90! Thank you, Melissa!

Kitchy kitchen

1. Our kitchen is done!! New oven/stove installed, cupboards installed around it, cupboard door not hitting it any more! Fridge working!! 

2. We got our order from bed bath and beyond and oh my goodness I'm so excited!! Plus with the new oven now I have a drawer underneath to put my glass baking pans in!! 

3. We tried to go for a run tonight and holy cow my knees were not having one bit of that. So I walked while Connor ran circles around me. Then we ate leftover pizza for dinner. 

4. In an effort to be healthier I made a makeshift standing desk today. It was awesome and now I want a real one. 

I wasn't planning on today doing that

1. I got to watch the eclipse since one of our sonographers brought glasses so we all stood around outside and passed them around. It was way more fun than I was anticipating. 

2. I worked for 11 hours and 15 minutes today. Computer failures and so much extra work made it for not my favorite day, but! Connor brought me pizza at work for dinner. The gem! 

3. We had a wonderful FHE tonight and I'm just grateful for my sweetie pie who likes to motivate me to do good things.

2. I got to go grocery shopping and I saved $30 at the store!! I'm working on this couponing thing.

Meh.

1. The doctor is optimistic about my situation. We'll see how that pans out.

3. I got to vote. It was mildly annoying, but not too bad since I went early. 

What a great day

1. We met at the gym after work and had an awesome arm workout since my sad knee is still recovering. 

2. We took before pictures for our fitness goals and oh my goodness I never want to look at those again. I'm so glad we're working so hard on this. 

3. I worked in the garden while Connor read me fablehaven to me and shared our zucchini with our neighbors. It was nice not having a streaming service to turn to since we cancelled Amazon prime yesterday. I had to find something else to do. 

Anniversary numero uno

1. It's our one year anniversary! 

2. Church was absolutely amazing and uplifting. 

3. Our next door neighbors are some of the most giving people and have been in need of service, but been having a hard time accepting it. So we finally got to make them a meal tonight and it was wonderful! I really need to be better at discerning needs and taking action instead of waiting for others to allow me. 

MASSAGE!!

1. Anniversary surprise number two was a one hour therapeutic massage all for my very own! Connor set up the appointment and did everything, we just walked to the massage parlor and I didn't know that's where we were going till we were standing outside. Oh my goodness it was amazing and now I want one every day forever. Haha it was amazing! 

2. We went to Sodalicious, Dulce (cookie dough shop), Rockwell ice cream and kneaders for half priced cheesecake! (I'm feeling oh so spoiled and even more loved, I freaking love anniversaries) 

3. Our ward had a volleyball game and hot dogs and an all around blast this evening. 

Ice cream :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

😍😍😍

I didn't stop smiling for at least two hours after the massage. 

But really, it was amazing! Everyone needs to go to the massage center on university avenue in Provo, UT, now.

2. We got JCW's for dinner! I love that place! 

3. Connor and I had a grand time perusing Home Depot for a bunk board, while still doing other fun things. I browsed the light fixtures and garden supplies, he was way more on task. I love Home Depot. It makes me feel like home. Brings back memories of building things with my dad and uncle bob, the endless supply of fun to be had when we all got together. I love that and the smell of lumber. 

Fasting helps you go fast

1. Jena is getting the hang of our clinic super fast. I think she's going to be an amazing asset to the team and bring us many laughs. 

2. I got fun movies at the library on my walk home from work. (I can walk home from work because my knee is almost totally healed and it's all thanks to the fast Connor and I did on Sunday! God is good and fasting works!) 

3. Connor and I started a more regimented workout plan tonight. I did sit-ups for the first time in a long time and my cute husband is being so so supportive of me! Life is good. I love exercising! 

Iron man 1, 3 &2

1. I managed to go in an hour and a half early and got SO many things done before I started training Jena. 

2. I had two egg rolls for lunch then was on a roll (bah dum tsss) for the afternoon and got a bunch of things off my lists! 

3. I rode my bike to and from work and I don't feel like I'm going to die or my knee is broken! I also didn't get too scared during the ride. Woo! Little victories! 

Hebhebhebhebhebdon

2. Our fridge stopped working so we made do with as many things that hadn't gone bad yet for lunch. 

3. We saw Allys new apartment and helped her organize and make it feel more like a home, we also had a lovely time perusing around target getting her things she needed for the apartment. Plus I got to meet Jessie's new dog finnley and chat with her and Matt and McCoy for a few minutes.

We had a blast. I love those people :) 

Q bash

1. I only had to work 5 hours today!! 

2. Connors work had a big party so we went and ate free food and saw all the face painting and made a big mistake riding one of the rides. Connor jousted while me and my mom watched. We ate plain snow cones and got weird looks from the people handing them out. We saw kyle and alice and made their baby cry and rocked out to great music. Completed by an awesome fireworks show to end the evening. 

3. I got sweeto burrito again and it was wonderful! 

I am Sabrina the teenaged witch

1. I watched many episodes of Sabrina the teenage witch tonight. 

2. My mom comes into town tomorrow! Where we immediately go to a carnival that Connors work is putting on! 

3. Michele texted and said we should make our dinners a monthly thing and I quite agree! I love that woman so much. 

Everybody should have a grandma Michele

1. I met Michele for dinner and had a nice long chat. We told each other funny stories and laughed a lot. 

2. We went to dinner at the old spaghetti factory where Maia works and she yelled my name when she saw us! 

3. I got our car washed and it made me really happy to have a nice shiny car. Plus mycah and I played hooky this afternoon to pick up bubble teas for the office (they were not very delicious, but now I know) 

I love to see burritos

1. We finally tried sweeto burrito and oh my goodness they have a Buffalo chicken burrito that is amazing!! 

2. We did initiatories at the provo city center temple and there was no one waiting so I went right in! One of the workers put so much meaning behind her words that I actually cried from the magnitude and spirit of it all.
