Shhhhh.....

Don't tell anyone!

But there is this really cool secret place that, sadly, I just discovered this year....You can get free books (cookbooks too), music, AND movies.... It is called "The Library"!  :)

Yes, I really just got my first library card as an adult about 6 months ago.  Now I use it ALL THE TIME!

I log on and put things on hold then pick them up about a day later!

If you have not been recently you should go!! They have tons of great music now too!!

Have you found any great finds at the Library?

Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister!

Happy Birthday Brooke!
I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!
Thank you for being such an amazing sister~ I want to Thank You for supporting me in my life for all these years, even when at times I am sure you were questioning my decisions~ You have always supported me no matter what and that means so much to me.
I am so very lucky to have you as my sister!
I love you!
Happy Birthday!

....Fall is for hiking....

I LOVE FALL!!!
It may be my favorite time of year~
Utah is such a beautiful place too so I am sure that makes Fall even better!
My friend Rachelle and I hiked up to Lake Blanch a few weeks ago and no lie, my legs were sore for a week! It was about 4 and a half hours round trip~ It was amazing! What a beautiful new discovery!
I hope to make it up there at least one more time before it is covered in feet of snow....
Happy Fall!

My computer crashed a few weeks ago so I haven't had a way to upload photos for blogging lately. Luckily, the day before the big beast went down I purchased a laptop for school~ I will blog more soon when I have time to take some photos and upload them to the new computer! For now, a pinterest quote!
I hope you are having an amazing October so far! I LOVE FALL!!

...peaceful warrior...

The past few months I have been taking Yoga classes at a local studio~ I have really connected with it.  The summer was too hot for me to motivate to run much so Yoga has been my excercise outlet. 
The teachers I have had have been amazing. 
One of the yoga instructors shared a quote that really made me think....
Ever since my beautiful mom died I have had this feeling that I have something to share, something more to do, something I cannot quite pinpoint, but I know there is something.......
The words she shared really resonated inside of me.
"The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose in life is to share it." I am not sure where the quote originates from but I just love it!
Do you have the feeling that there is more to do, more to give, more to share?

....Holy Schnikes!....

It is my birthday....I am 38 today....And I cannot believe it!
The speed of life gets more crazy and more scary every year.
I am very lucky to have an amazing family and wonderful friends that I get to celebrate with and share my life with! And that is the best gift ever!

MIA from blogging~ Ooops!

I have a goal to be back more often ~ No excuses, this is a place for me to write and share so I will be sure to post more very soon!
How about I share a treat secret!
Be careful......They are very addicting....
