Halloween Candy

I had a rough day.  I challenged myself to eat 100% clean for 30 days.  I've done perfectly...until today.  I'm thankful that even when I stumble and eat things that aren't the best for me, I can still resolve to do better!

Ed

Ed is my teacher. He's a hippie. He has long curly hair and facial hair. He lives in Rush Valley (don't worry, I'd never heard of it either), where he farms and raises goats. He is SO smart! His class, Interpreting Research, is definitely tough! I turned my assignment in late today. It was supposed to be in yesterday, but I got so worked up in my sister's drama yesterday that I neglected to turn it in. I emailed Ed today and told him why it was late. He could have said tough luck, no points for you! But he didn't. He said, "No worries. Thanks for letting me know. All the best. Ed" I guess that doesn't necessarily mean I'll still get all the points, but I'm pretty sure I'll at least get some.

An interview

I applied for a new job. The new job is in my same department, just a step up and a step over. Part of me is really excited about the possibility. Part of me is intimidated by all the super qualified people who are also interviewing for the job. Regardless, I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to interview. I'll be thankful when the interview is over!!

A renewed temple recommend

I went to the temple last week and about had a heart attack because I thought my recommend was expired. It actually wasn't. It expires at the end of the month. So today I met with one of the counselors of my bishopric and started the process to get a new one. I still have to meet with the stake president, but hopefully I can get that done on Tuesday. I can't believe it's already been two years since I went through the temple!

The Centerville Library

I've never been a library studier.  I always preferred just to do my homework/studying at home.  But, I have 2 really big assignments due next week so I knew I needed to get some serious work done.  I gave in and headed to the library.  I'm thankful for the quiet room I found to work on my assignments.  It forced me to be productive. 

Traffic

I'm not usually thankful for traffic, but I am today.  I had a physical therapy appointment schedule today and when I found out I would be seeing a fill-in instead of my regular physical therapist, I didn't really want to go.  When I got onto the freeway, traffic was stopped.  So I called the office and told them I would be too late to keep the appointment and made arrangements to reschedule.  I'm thankful I didn't have to go!

Witches' Night Out

Our ward had a Relief Society activity tonight - Halloween themed. Everyone was invited to dress up like witches. They had soup and bread bowls, painted nails, decorated (and ate) cupcakes, and put together a super cute wooden bat craft. I was pretty late because I had school tonight, but I'm glad I went for the little bit that I did. It was fun to chat and laugh with some of the sisters in my ward! I'm thankful for the girls who put all the hard work into making it happen!
