Good Thing I Checked!

Today is the last day of May. Time seems to fly by so fast for me sometimes.I nearly made myself broke, well at least until tomorrow today. I was shopping for a gym bag and I got as far as choosing a red one when I felt like I should check my bank account to make sure that my check from work was cleared. Turns out it wasn't yet today. I guess it varies from check to check. I decided to go home empty handed and come back tomorrow instead.

Later tonight we had tacos and Laura made peanut butter cookies. I was so hungry when I got home. I used one of my huge tortillas to make a taco and it worked out great. I find it doesn't work for me when I try to use the small ones. I can never close it properly when I do that.

To be honest I am feeling a bit lazy this week and might do something else besides go to the gym one of these days. I feel like forcing a routine like I have been trying to do since last week. I feel like not going to the gym on the days I don't want to go is okay because I know I won't get too lazy because I love to work out.

Remembering loved Ones






I was going to go to a memorial service today in the morning at our local cemetarybut I slept in. We did visit the graves of grandma and grandpa, my newphews, and my brother. We went up to Provo cemetery for that, and brought our own roses. The pictures above are just a few. We went to Harmons before and got some cups for the roses. We cut a lot of roses and it took us a while. I am thankful for our large variety of roses, they are amazing. My favorites are the orange and yellow ones. I went to Chuck a Rama as well after with Laura, Ben, Natalie and Kayla. I had a little bit of everything and am not looking forward to stepping on the scale tomorrow. It was fun and I am glad that I did stuff with them all day. My day would have been a lot more boring if I hadn't. I didn't bother going to the gym today because the buses weren't running and I think they close around noon on Memorial Day anyway. The weather was perfect and I'm glad we didn't have another cold spell that knocked out the roses like in previous years. They are alive and thriving.

Bald Eagle Videos

Well, you know how my Sunday's usually go. I went to church, watched Bald Eagles, took a nap, etc. Here are two decorah eagles videos. There are a lot. I just chose randomly. The bottom one is a different thing entirely, but it's  a great documentary.

On A Walk

Nothing much happened today. I didn't work today so I just had a lazy day pretty much. Well, I went on a walk I guess that is something. I'm just going to leave a picture today because I'm feeling lazy.

The Truth About Orange Juice

I was a bit bummed last week when I found out I would only be working today and not tomorrow. I really love having two days a week to work. I love having the extra money, it is nice. Anyway, I'm just going to leave a video today. Oh, but first, I made orange juice tonight! I was craving it and just juiced some oranges.

Just Keep Running


It's been a hard adjustment, but I am more than eager to continue my new routine of going to the gym 4 times a week and not sleeping in too late. I just want to make sure I don't get off track again like I've done so many times. I know that does happen quite a lot. I did a lot of running at the gym today, well for me it was a lot anyway. I find the treadmill is easier to use when I drape my yoga towel over the display so I can't see it. I meant to only do one ten minute round of jogging, but i enjoyed it so much I did it twice. 


Well anyway, I did the stair machine too, but didn't do much more than that besides the sauna. I just felt like getting it done even though the running was really enjoyable. Here is a raondom picture of my locker.


 I went to Dick's Sporting Goods to look around because Sports Authority is apparently closing soon. I love their merchandise, they have even more than Sports Authority. I don't think I'll be all that sam when Sport's Authority closes. Don't get me wrong it's sad, but there are other places. Anyway, I went to Dollar Tree and decided to get some peppermint Starlight candy. I love those things so much. I got two kinds.

I went and got on the next bus home after this, I was pretty tired. I went to the store on my way walking home and got some licorice though too.  When I got home I discovered that Laura made chocolate chip cookies!


Oh, our roses have started coming up! here are a few pictures.


Not much happened after that. I took a nap, watched netflix and some of the Bald Eagle live streams I've been keeping track of and some other random stuff. I'll tell you more about the eagles and share my screenshots some other time.
