Wedding Bells

Hello! Well this week was pretty uneventful. Same old same old. It rained for the first half of the week and my hood kept falling down over my eyes which made seeing difficult haha. But on a happier note, Kim got engaged on Friday! Happy day! Me, Brooke, Jeremy, and Adam's brother Ben all helped string lights on the konker tree up on Old Main hill. Haha we had some technical difficulties because it was too much power to plug into his car. But it all worked out and he popped the question after he took her on a walk to all the places they have had memories. We went wedding dress shopping on Wednesday at a local shop here in Logan and found a few dresses that she liked. She had seen this dress online that was in Salt Lake that she had her heart set on so we went to try it on on Saturday morning. We found some really pretty dresses, but in the end she chose the one she loved and it's just beautiful! Their date is June 6 in the Logan Temple. Hopefully I have my boot off by then haha! ;)

And since it's Sunday, I just wanted to take a minute to brag about three of my beautiful best friends serving missions. :) Andi has been my friend since sixth grade and is serving in the Edmonton-Alberta, Canada mission. Amber has also been my friend since sixth grade and is serving in the Chicago, Illinois mission. And Aubree has been my friend since eighth grade is serving in the Nagoya, Japan mission. And let me tell you, these three beautiful women have been such an example to me. They have voluntarily put their lives on hold to serve the Lord. They are selfless and make me want to become a better person daily. I love reading their weekly emails and can't wait until they're home! I just love love love them to death. <3

Well, I hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sabbath Day and find something to smile about. :) Gotta Run! XOXO

Minor Setback for a Major Comeback

Happy Hump Day! I'm about to the 3 week mark with my crutches! My incisions have started to scar and my foot almost looks normal minus the swelling around my ankle. I went into the training room today and Coach Grinnel saw me and asked me how I was. He was so genuine and said something that really empowered and motivated me. He said, "This injury is just a minor setback for a major comeback." I don't know what it was, but that really hit me. It made me want to focus on the end result and not focus on the negatives of my situation. I know this is only going to make me stronger and I can't wait to get back to running.

Being thankful for my trials is definitely difficult, but trusting in the Lord makes it that much easier. Don't let a small setback ruin your future. Gotta run! XOXO

Days Like These

It's finally spring break! After 3 tests this week I am definitely in need of a break haha. So I finally gave in tonight and signed up for the premium subscription on Runnerspace.com to watch the video of my race when I got hurt. It was so weird to watch. I could see everything that happened from another perspective. It was hard. I can't help but think if that was the last time I'll run the 60 meter dash. Still trying to have patience and faith. And let me tell you it is not easy haha! But with the Lord's help we can do all things. I am a strong believer in that. Tomorrow will be the one month mark of my injury. And one week down with Booty and 5 more no weight bearing! Days like these make me feel so extremely grateful. I am especially grateful there is no snow for me to crutch through! It was the perfect weather today so me, Brooke, Kim, and Adam took a trip up to Old Main Hill and sat at the top of the Amphitheater. I love Logan.I love Utah State University. And most of all I love my sisters. Happiness is a choice. So lets be grateful in all circumstances and choose happiness. Gotta run! XOXO
