Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I really love this time of year. I love all the holiday's so close together and the family time. I just wanted to take a minute and write about what I am most thankful for.
I am so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful family. I love my parents so much and am so thankful for them. I also feel that I have the best brothers and sisters on earth. I feel so lucky that we all get along so well and are such great friends. I also have unarguably the best nieces and nephews on earth. I adore them so much! I am so incredibly thankful for them. Each of them is so precious to me.
I am thankful to live in this land of America, where we are free to choose and live as we desire. I am thankful for the many service people who fight for our freedoms on a daily basis.
I am thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who is there to help us when we ask and who wants us to be happy in this life.
I am thankful for great friends who keep me going. I don't know what I would do without my fantastic friends.
I think that sometimes we forget how blessed we are (I know I shouldn't use we here, I am speaking about myself). I am so glad that we can take a moment away from our busy lives and have a holiday that is all about thankfulness.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

This is honestly one of my most favorite times of year. It is a time that I anticipate for months on end. Christmas? You say. You couldn't be more wrong! Tis the season for THE Holy War! Tis the season for one of football's greatest rivalries. Tis the season for the BYU/Utah game. I am so incredibly excited for this game. Not only because I have a few friendly wagers going, but also bragging rights. You have no idea how important it is to be able to brag and harass my friends for several months to come. It is now pay back time! Go Cougs!!

Absolute Exhaustion!!

So I am in my fifth week of P90X now! It has been going great! However, there are days when I am working out (like today) that my muscles are so fatigued that I honestly don't know if I will be able to get off the floor. I did the Chest, Shoulders and Triceps workout today. And after the first time of doing it, I can honestly say it is not my favorite. After doing seriously 100 push ups, I laughed out loud at Tony Horton when he says "ok now we are going to clap in between push ups" or "lets do the one arm push up". Are you kidding me?!? That is pretty funny Tony, cuz I am way too exhausted already to do a one armed push up! What do you take me for?
Some people think I am crazy as I am sitting there talking to my tv. "No Tony, we are not going to go into downward dog anymore!!"
It has been a fun program to do though. I am a much stronger person than when I started which is what I was going for anyway.
