Physical therapy

It's pathetic that I have a physical therapist, or rather a team of physical therapists. It's pathetic that they all know me by name and get excited when I injure myself or have to have surgery because it means we can "be friends again." It's pathetic that the last time they told me I was done and no longer needed PT, I cried because I knew I would miss them! But even though all of that is pathetic, I am so grateful for my physical therapists. I'm grateful that we have such s good relationship. I'm thankful that I can trust them 100% to get me back to normal after an injury or after surgery. And I'm thankful that we have such a good time while we work!

Safe travels

I can't help but be thankful for my safety when I return home from a trip. I really was blessed for this trip! I met a new friend driving down to Vegas to meet up with some other mutual friends. We got out if Salt Lake just as the biggest storm in years was starting. We only ran into a bit of snow right before Cedar. Here at home, this storm dumped three feet of snow at my house!! I'm so thankful we got out before it hit! I'm also thankful we got on the road heading home when we did. There was an accident about a half hour behind us. That accident caused a semi hauling gasoline to explode. It shut down the freeway in both directions in an area that I'm not even sure has "back roads." I'm thankful we missed that and that we got through before the roads closed. I'm thankful to have spent such a fun weekend with friends in Vegas! Now it's time to plan the next trip!!

Celine Dion

I saw her concert tonight in Vegas. Is was phenomenal!! She is probably one of the most talented people on the planet! I'm thankful I could see her show and I'm thankful for the great friends I got to go with!

An extra sweatshirt

When I packed my bags to go to Vegas, I didn't include a winter coat. Vegas is supposed to be really warm, right? Wrong. It's cold!! I'm thankful I brought my jacket and I'm very thankful I have an extra sweatshirt! With two sweatshirts and a jacket, I was warm enough to enjoy a fabulous day with my friends. It's been so much fun, even despite the cold! And I'm thankful I get to be here instead of at home dealing with a crazy winter storm that has dropped feet of snow!

An awesome ride to Vegas

I am enjoying a weekend trip to Vegas with some great friends. I was a little nervous about driving down with someone I didn't know well. I'm not a huge fan of talking to people I don't know. But, it worked out wonderfully! The ride was awesome and went by super fast. I'm thankful we made it and met up with the rest of our friends without any problems. I'm excited for the rest of our "epic" weekend!

Visitor parking

Today was my first day of school this semester. I'm just taking one class. The class is twice a week and it starts at 3:40pm. This ruins all my plans because the institute parking lot where I've always parked is open to the public until 4:00. I was on my way up to buy a $90 parking pass for the semester so I could legally park a half mile away from my class, but then I had another idea. There is "visitor" parking a few yards from the building my class is in. I did some quick calculations and actually, if I just pay for visitor parking, I will probably end up spending less then the $90 for a parking pass. And I'll be SO close to my class! I'm thankful for close parking because my hip has been so sore the last few days!
