Jill's sacrifice

My old college friend Jill lives in Fort Wayne, IN. When she found out I was going to be in Indianapolis this week she offered to come meet me for dinner. I'm thankful she was willing to drive 2 hours to get here! I had a great time walking around the city and catching up with her! 

The first day of CADCA

I'm attending a CADCA (community anti-drug coalitions of America) conference in Indiana this week. I get to serve on a healthy community coalition for work. I've always had a hard time with this coalition. Today during the first session, I learned about what it is that bothers me and what I can suggest to fix it. I hope the rest of sessions will be just as informative and helpful.  

Fun surprises

Today I traveled to Indiana to attend a conference for work. I was expecting to only know one other person (who I'm not very close with). I was pleasantly surprised when a friend showed up at the airport, headed to the same conference. There's just something about having someone you know along for the ride. Makes traveling alone a little less intimidating. 

No make up

I'm thankful I could just stay home today and not even bother to put on make-up. I leaving tomorrow morning to attend a conference out of town. I slept in and then spent a good chunk of the day doing laundry and packing. Later in the afternoon I got to hang out with baby J. I'm alway thankful for his snuggles, especially when he falls asleep on me! 

Davis county visits

I'm so thankful I live in Draper. It has been one of the best changes I've ever made in my life. The only problem is now Davis county is kind of far away! I had the opportunity to go up to Kaysville and visit a dear friend who is in town from Oregon. I'm thankful I made the cut and got to visit! She was only in town for a couple days and didn't have much time to visit all her friends. I'm also thankful I could make the most of the drive up there and visit my own family too! It was definitely a late drive home, but it was worth it! 

Book flights

I'm going to Austalia and Fiji and (hopefully) New Zealand!! It's an incredible opportunity and I am so stoked! Even though I have to wait 6 months, today I'm thankful the flights are booked. It just makes it feel more real. 

Whole Foods

I have a serious love/hate relationship with Whole Foods. I love it because I can find good food I can actually eat there (gluten free, dairy free, egg free, iodized salt free). I hate it because I stop on my way home from work for 2 things and end up with $50 worth of food! And I also end up baking vegan coconut blueberry muffins at 9:00pm when I should be getting ready for bed (12-hour work day tomorrow, yuck!). Regardless, I'm thankful for Whole Foods and I'm thankful there's one a mile away from my house.
