Day thirty one

1. Connor and I went to UVU to do an innovation walk with Luke and janessa Kennard. It was fun, pretty short and laid back, but good to support them. 

2. I texted both my mom and Michele about the bad day I was having and these are the conversations 

I love my family! 

3. Someday we will have babies. It’s not our turn yet and that’s okay. It’s going to have to be because our circumstance is not changing any day soon. 

Day twenty nine

1. I went to yoga and got another pretzel, it was a nice balance of life! 

2. I didn’t have to train today and I finished my daily tasks pretty quickly so I had some nice time to get some projects done that have been hanging over my head for quite awhile. 

3. We had family home evening and I waxed Connor in boggle :) he loves me. 

Day twenty eight

1. We had an awesome relief society lesson where Elise, Kelsey and I all just heckled Sydney while she taught. We were a marvelous peanut gallery. We talked about how to be good visiting teachers, what activities we want to do, what we want lessons on and such. I’m excited about this year and this ward. 

2. Everybody talked about treats in relief society so Connor and I made raspberry muffins and took them around to our visiting and home teaching families and our neighbors :) 

3. We stood in the hallway with Michael and Christy and Sydney and Kelsey for about 20 minutes after church and just all laughed and chatted, it was wonderful. 

Day twenty seven

1. I decided at kinda the last minute to go to the stake women’s conference and I’m so glad I did! We had a speaking named Ryan Eggett who was amazing! He talked about how fun marriage is and how important it is to nurture your marriage and invest in it. So I had a nice long chat with Connor when I got home and we made a plan to change a couple of things. Thankfully our marriage rocks, so it’s just going from better to best at this point. 

2. We went to the provo city center temple to do initiatories and I met Sammy Brando, she was delightful and we giggled a lot as we waited in line. It was so fun to just chat with a stranger. 

3. I made BLT’s for dinner and connor was very happy about that :) now we have tomatoes and lettuce leftovers so we get to eat something else fun for dinner tonight! 

Day twenty four

1. I had an impromptu girls night with Christy watching fantastic beasts and where to find them at her apartment. 

2. I made it to yoga and the instructor talked to me afterwards when I was sitting outside in a stupor. 

3. I bought myself a pretzel after yoga and discovered the rec center sells delicious pretzels. 

Day twenty three

1. I can’t believe I made it through this day with no sleep. Win all the way around! 

2. I got to drink diet Dr Pepper to survive, I love that stuff. 

3. Tommy, Michael and a guy from our ward, Marcus, came to give Connor a blessing because the poor boy is struggling to deal with the flu. 

4. Then I finally got to sleep!! 

Day twenty two

Day twenty two was a fairly crummy day in lots of ways. We overslept which meant I ran to work in a hurry with no shower, I started my period, the staff was in nice grumpy moods, I had many things to do that didn’t get done because our “pow wow” took almost two hours and no one was happy afterwards. But, that’s not what I’m here to talk to you about. 

1. I picked Connor up from campus and we went on a date to JCW’s! 

2. We sat on the same side of the booth and canoodled for awhile before our food was ready. 

3. I took a short bath with my peppermint bath bomb I got for Christmas and my skin felt and smelled amazing! 

Downside, it is now 6:14 am and I am back at work at the hospital. I have not slept. At first I couldn’t, then Connor threw up a few times around 2 am so I took care of him for awhile till it got to the point that if I had gone to sleep I would not have woken up on time for work. I’m still going to put in a full day today then go to the gym, then go home and sleep for many moons with my poor sicky husband. Woo! We got this! 

Day twenty one pilots

1. I’ve had the flu for the past two days, but thankfully I’m able to move about as a regular human again. 

2. Connor and I played dominion tonight, it was awesome! He totally beat me, but we still had fun. 

3. I haven’t left my house since Friday afternoon. That makes me so happy. 

Day seventeen

1. I went to dinner with grandpa don and Grandma michele at the paradise cafe for Michele’s birthday on Friday :) it’s a Chinese buffet and holy cow I need to take Connor there. They had all kinds of sushi and gross other fish things and all kinds of chicken and desserts and just all over delicious. 

2. I rocked out to the radio on the drive home from Murray and had a grand ole time singing at the top of my lungs. 

3. I got to build my puzzle when I got home. I’m trying to finish it before the game night on Saturday because Connor wants to use the table for games. And I want to donate it to the ward swap. I better get on it tonight after the gym. 

Ps. For those who are wondering, my therapist suggested I write three good things out of every day to help my perspective and not be depressed. It worked wonders, then I stopped and the depression took over again, so for now and maybe forever, three good things every day :) 

Day sixteen

1. I had a really good chat with Melissa where we counted our blessings

2. I did 8 miles on the bike again! It was harder this time because my bladder was wanting to explode, but I did it!!

1. I did 8 miles on the stationary bike and 3 miles on the elliptical! Plus I ran into jeanice! 

2. Work was nice and quiet because not a lot of clinics or departments were open today. I enjoyed it.

2. I made it to the gym today and did much better than I thought I would because I was so fatigued. 

3. The person who set up the game night for the ward at our apartment posted it for the wrong day so we thought it was tonight and so did Michael and Christy mcginnis so they came over and we played dominion and talked for a long while. Kinda hilarious the way it all worked out. 

Day twelve

1. I watched at least 4 episodes of psych tonight after I got home.

2. Connor bought us little caesars pizza for dinner!

2. We had dinner at Applebees! It was not the most delicious place I’ve ever been, but our waiter was awesome and we had a wonderful time talking so still a win.

3. I finally bought a day planner! Now I can write down all the things! 

Day ten

1. I did yoga today, it was awful. My body didn’t do what I wanted it to, I was so still and not capable of things I’ve done hundreds of times, but I made it to the end of class where she put essential oils on me and at least I finished. 

2. We had lettuce wrapped cheeseburgers for dinner! Using just the food we have in the pantry and freezer has been fun :) no more grocery shopping till next Friday!

Day nine

1. I got woken up around 4:00 am by a charley horse and didn’t go back to sleep so I was worried about my gym time today, but everything went well and I even worked out longer than I have been!

3. We got passengers and everything everything at the library. Woo! Movies!

Day three

I’ll probably get sick of doing the whole numbered day thing, but for now, it’s sticking. 

1. I did 3 miles on the elliptical and 3 miles on the stationary bike and sweated like a pig the entire time. I could have kept going, but Connor got there to pick me up so definitely improving!! 

2. We went to the temple tonight too, it was so nice and peaceful. Kind of a blur, but I’m grateful it was a calm blur. 

3. Mycah has started “saving me” from nasty box elder bugs in my office. She gets them in a tissue and ever the humanitarian she deposits them out the back door to live, so she saved me again today and Melissa thought it was hilarious. 

Day two

1. I went to work on time this morning! Little victory! 

2. My last night migraine came back so I slept for 3 hours this afternoon, holy cow I hate migraines, the good part of this is Connor made the bed and brought me water and peppermint tea and made me dinner when I woke up starving. My husband is so cool. 

3. I built some more of my puzzle. I think I’ll give away a bunch of puzzles. I have a ton and I don’t like to rebuild them. Which is why I never spend money on them. It’s a win all over.
