LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Breakfast ~ What have you loved the most about this past week?

Well, lets see...my oldest left on Monday, I had a dentist appointment on Tuesday, I ran tortuous hills on Wednesday then got myself in a huge mess re-doing some things in my computer room on Thursday....it's easier to name what I didn't love, but isn't that how life is?  We always have so much we can focus on that ISN'T something we like or love, but there's always also a lot of things to love.  So let me start over... I got to eat out on Monday at Costa Vida which I love, I had no cavities and got my teeth cleaned at the dentist on Tuesday, I was able to do 15 hill repeats on Wednesday, and reorganizing anything always makes me feel so much better!

Lunch ~ Briefly tell how you met your "love". We met at Weber State University.  Dave first saw me at the Institute at a Tuesday Lunch that I was in charge of and he asked his friend (who was also my friend), "Who is that girl?"  His friend kind of hooked us up.  He claims the song by Lobo called "I'd Love You to Want Me" came on the radio as he sat down in his car right after the first time he saw me and the words were exactly how he was feeling.  How romantic!  The first time I saw him was in the Institute and my friend Lisa said, "That's him!  That's Matt's friend that wants to take you out!"  I thought he was very cute.  However I did have a missionary that I was waiting for at the time....but as they say, "The rest is history!"  

Dinner ~ What are your plans for Valentine's Day?
As of this writing, I am not sure!  It's on a Sunday this year and so that kind of makes it harder.  I always make a Valentine's Day dinner for my family and so I will probably do that on Sunday.  I am not sure if we are going out to dinner to celebrate on Saturday or not.  Some of our friends already invited us out to dinner that night and so I'm not sure if we will go with them or do a romantic one just the two of us.  

Midnight Snack ~ List 10 things you LOVE about your life right now.

1.  I'm learning to play the harp!
2.  My family is healthy!  And I am healthy!
3.  I get to run the Boston Marathon in 2017!  I still can't believe it!
4.  I have great boys!  I am so proud of each one of them.  They are really good people. 
5.  I have a great husband.  He truly "gets me" and treats me so well.
6.  I have great friends. I really do.  I am so blessed.
7.  I still have both of my parents!  Great blessing to me!
8.  My teeth! I am almost done with my Invisalign (in three months!) and I love the results so far!  I should have done it sooner!
9.  Though I am not a fan of the empty nest (yet), I do love that I have so much freedom right now from the stresses of young motherhood.  Though at the same time I miss it so.
10.  Heavenly Father's answers to my prayers.  He is always there when I need Him. 

Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?)  Be patient with things you want to change.  It takes time to see results sometimes but by pressing forward a little day by day results will come.
