Random thoughts and happenings

This post is completely random thoughts that are on my mind right now or things that have happened lately.

1. I have really gotten back into a good running routine this semester and I am loving it! Plus it makes it even better that I have a great gym buddy. Thanks girl! The other night I ran 7 miles and I felt fabulous! Who knows...maybe I'll run another 1/2 marathon sometime this year just for fun.

2. Chad and I hit our 7 month mark today! This semester has completely flown by! Even though some weeks I don't get to see him that much I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who works so hard. He has the biggest heart and is constantly serving others. Plus he puts up with me and for that alone he deserves an award. He is my best friend, the shoulder I cry on, the one person I need more than anything, and the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you Chad!

3. Today I have an overwhelming feeling of grattitude for my life right now. Looking back to last year at this time I had no clue that my life was about to change in every way possible. But I can say that although everything has completely changed in my life, it has been for the better in every way. I have learned so much and know that the Lord had been preparing me for things that are happening in my life now and the things to come.

4. Today it is suppose to be warm! Horray for warm weather! This morning it was humid and the sun was shining. I am definantly not used to the muggy humid smell...but there is a smell to it! It is suppose to be about 60 degrees today so I'm hoping that the wind doesn't ruin this fabulous day.

5. I'm pretty sure my car must have a sign on the bumper that says "Please hit me!" I told Chad that before we got married and I think he might be starting to believe me since we have been rear-ended twice since we moved here.-Yes it's ridiculous!

6. I love Sam's club. I love walking around and seeing everything in bulk for some reason. It also makes me want to buy even more...which means I have to use will power and just speed through the store. Get in, get out. Chad loves it even more than me. But the downside is that I find it depressing when I get to the checkstand to find out how much it costs for just five items. Maybe I'm just cheap?

7. Last weekend my husband took me to a chick flick. He's such a trooper! We had to book it to our car that was parked a few blocks away in a snow storm. I was of course wearing heels and trying not to slide all over the place or fall. For some reason it seemed extra hard to walk in these boots that night. When we got home I discovered that my heel had broken off almost all the way! No wonder it was so hard to walk in! It's a sad day when one of your favorite pairs of shoes break.

I loved your random thoughts!!! I like huge warehouses too - Spence and I go on dates to Costco sometimes - it is a little pathetic to others, but we love it!! Miss you Mich - we had fun at Grandma's party the other night and I was showing funny pics of when we were all little!!

Great list! You do eventually get used to the humidity, although where I grew up it was even MORE humid, so maybe that's why it doesn't really bother me here??

I love Costco the most...I don't know what the difference is but there is one. I need to run 7 miles. or even 5.

You are so right about the humid smell.When we first moved here I thought it totally stank. Now I am used to it.
