I confess. . . .

* I went blonde.

* I mean BLONDE.

* My friends are getting slightly annoyed that I'm constantly checking myself out in every window/mirror I see.

* I think they are just secretly jealous.

* Tomorrow is our second family hike to prepare for our Grand Canyon trip this fall.

* 5 miles.

* Shouldn't be too bad.

* Although it's looking like it might just be me and my mother since everyone has little league/basketball/dance/life going on.

* Pray for us.

* I started the 60 day BOM challenge.

* I've been waking up an hour early to get my reading for the day done.

* As much as I am enjoying this, I can't seem to manage to get in bed before midnight.

* It's killing me. Physically.

* However, I've never felt more spiritually alive.

* So, I got that goin for me.

5-0. . . .

If you will accept this 60 day challenge, regardless of how many times you have previously may have read the Book of Mormon, there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God.

Here are some extras you can do if you want while reading

1. Circle the names and titles of Jesus Christ (Lord, Savior, Redeemer, ect)
2. Underline his attributes or characteristics (loving, merciful, etc)
3. Highlight references to the atonement.

See what I did there? Go Red Wings!

{one} If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?

If you did not see my previous post about this man, let me introduce you. 

This is Damon.  Damon is a vampire.  He bites people.  You can enjoy him on 'Vampire Diaries'.  I want him.

 
{two} If you could be guaranteed one thing in life besides money, what would you ask for?

Health.  I'm really hating getting older and feeling every pain.  It sucks.

 
{three} If you had to name the most terrifying event in your life thus far, what would it be?

Not really sure.  I mean I'm 33 and that's a lot of life to live and I've done some pretty stupid stuff.  I would have to say the most recent terrifying experience was when my mother called me to tell me my nephew had been rushed to the hospital because he was not breathing.  

 I was definitely not ready to live without that face!  Thankfully after a couple days in the hospital for a bad case of the flu, he and his sister were able to go home.

{four} If you could possess one supernatural ability, what would it be?

Teleporting.  There are so many places I would love to visit but I hate the actual traveling aspect.  I'm not talking short road trips where you jam out to good tunes.  But like a 5 hour flight to Florida or you could teleport and be there in 5 seconds.

 
{five} If you could "uninvent" one thing in the world , so that it would no longer exist, what would you choose?

Alcohol.  I agree with Mamarazzi on the whole cigarette thing, but alcohol alters your personality.  It destroys families and people do things they wouldn't normal do if they were not hindered by it.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. . . .

My skinny self has been so proud of my fat self this past week. She cut back on sugar (including Coke), made some really good eating choices, and was even exercising regularly. Then this happened.

We're not ready to talk about it. Fat self is in time out.

30 things I want to do this summer. . . .

We've been enjoying some B-E-A-Utiful weather lately.  Which got me thinking about summer, which got me thinking about all the possibilities of summer.  Remember when you were little and summer seemed so magical?  3 months of no school, sleeping in, vacation, hanging with friends.  Now your older and it's the same routine every damn season.
