I think this is the first blog ever that won't have any pictures. I just needed a place to type a few things.
1. I woke up super early this morning. The sky was gray and the air was thick and wet, so un-Arizona-like. I ran. I hadn't run since Tuesday and it felt great. I blasted some Rod Stewart (he needed a little redeeming after his dreadful American Idol performance). My hair was wet, shoes soaked, legs burned but it was so peaceful and great. A small reprieve from the heat.
2. I finished another journal this morning- the last page gets me so excited to start a new one. The new one- zebra print with a pink strap. It is exciting to imagine what life will be like mid-journal and interesting to thumb back through the old one and see where I have come. This one, mainly the treacherous journey to pregnancy, throughout and the first 7 months of my sweet Mckinley's life.
3. I painted my nails black- deep black with a sheer, shiny coat on top. I love black nail polish. Not like Emo Kid black or Adam Lambert black (hallelujah he is gone!) but a dark color that hides the imperfections of my nibbled cuticles. It does have it's down sides though- the chipping of it drives me insane and inevitably, it won't last the weekend.
4. Tomorrow, my parents and little sister Brittnee come into town. The weather should be great while they are here and I am grateful for that.
5. Sunday Mark and I get to speak in church. My talk is pretty much done. I find the less I write, the less I rely on reading so I am at a good stopping point.
6. I had to teach last week in Relief Society- went well. I know in my nervousness I turn into the Micro machine Man (talking a million miles a minute) but I feel overall, went pretty well.
7. My boss, Tyler Nelson, let me take the day off today. I had no idea how much I needed it and how my prayers were answered. I was really stressing because I needed just one day. One single day. I enjoyed it. Lunch with friends @ the Cheesecake Factory and jewelry class tonight.
Life is good. Too blessed to be stressed.

This post brought back memories for me! First, the journals. You got me into journal writing in high school and I wish I was as good at it now as I was in college! The other was the the black nail polish. Do you remember once when we both had like a light, NOT bright purple nail polish and Tommy thought it was a traffic stopping color? We had lots of fun with nail polish colors! Bright red is my personal favorite!
Glad you got to have a day off...!
What drugs are you on??? Rod Stewart is the best ever! :0)
Hey, why not mention who you were at Cheesecake Factory with? I was me! I did it! I was there! Rod Stewart ROCKS and you know it! Your RS lesson was awesome, your a great teacher. You make learning fun. You creative woman.
I can picture you now writing in your zebra print journal. Good for you! I'm so glad you went to jewelry last night. It was so much fun and your watch strap turned out so good! Let's see if we can get you addicted to that now too.
I probably should keep a journal. My blog has become my journal, so hopefully I can make it into a book somehow. I'm glad you got the break you needed. I'm needing one right about now!
i like the finishing journal thing too :) can't relate on the running since i really don't enjoy running (billy blanks and denise austin on the other hand......) :D sounds like you needed a day off. glad you got it!!!!! :) take care, miss ya
Hey Mark and Tish! I finally looked at your blog! Not that I care what's going on with you or anything . . .
