wash of calm

Within the last couple of days, I have felt a wash of calm come over me. This productive ticking clock in me is just telling me to go go go, and keep busy. I enjoy keeping busy as long as I get my sleep haha.

Yesterday, I woke up with the urge to run to my destination for the day. Rolling out of bed, I threw on my running clothes and made the jog to church. It's about 2 miles from my house and my only mistake is leaving at 10am. If you are living in Moreno Valley, you know that it is about 80 degrees at 7 in the morning so at 10 it is almost 100! I made it to church looking like a sweaty hot mess, but none the less I made it. Who ever runs to their destinations anymore? Okay well I cheated, I had my mom pick me up for a ride home since it was so dang hot, so it was only a one way run.

After my run and meeting with the Elders, who I currently love, I think they are great right now and I feel completely comfortable with them and talking to them about anything. I took a nice, not so hot shower and met up with Erin and our girl friend Sam and her boyfriend. It was nice to just catch up with people I haven't seen in awhile, and it helped that I was absolutely starving so I chowed down on a chicken wrap from Islands.

My productive day came to a screeching halt when I get home and laid in bed watching Bachelor Pad on TV.... I don't know how I end up watching those guilty pleasure shows when I really don't watch all that much TV anyway haha. After said guilty pleasure, I drove to the Redlands Building.

From there we went and did baptisms, it was my second time. I felt more comfortable, knowing that I had done this before and I knew what to expect. Being in the temple just makes me happy. I am nothing but happy in there. While we were waiting for everybody to finish up, Andrew ended up walking in. I got to talk to him for a little bit and it was really nice. I appreciate being able to be friends, and talking with him made me realize what a good and funny person he is. I really do wish the best for him and I am sad that we both hurt each other earlier this year. But you always learn something, and I think we learned a lot from each other and learning is key!

And there is this morning.

I want to become healthier! In all aspects, I have the worst eating habits and 2 days ago I decided that I am going to stop eating again after 7pm. After 7pm it is all junk! Well and before.... but I am going to try and change that. As my alarm went off at 5:30 AM I instantly thought, what in the world is it doing that for! Then I remembered we were supposed to hike to the M. I met up with Phil and Joey and we went up to the M via Hidden Springs route entrance. I've actually never gone this way and it literally made me sick! I have not felt like I was going to puke from exercising since the cross country days.... MAN I am out of shape.

Phil made the comment about enduring to the end on the hike up. I love that we can always apply any situation we are in to the gospel. It's a wonderful feeling and great things to know.

oh and I died my hair all brown, I am going for the natural look now, haha the end.
