Moving, running and more...

Yeah I got all my stuff moved yesterday! Thank you to all that helped! I would have had to sit down and cry if I had had to do it myself. I'm staying at Mom and Dad's for a few weeks and it's been fun to be around:0) I'm not sure the cat will survive, but hopefully he'll adjust and get better.

I was just looking at the countdown for my half marathon and shuddering as I'm slowly running out of time. I'm up to 5 miles this week and I really don't know how I'm going to get that far...., but I will! I will not give up!(mostly cuz I've already paid for it...) I really do love running, but there are moments when I wonder why I'm doing all of this--usually toward the end of mile three, which is an improvement from a few weeks ago when it was the end of mile two, so I figure the further I get the easier it will get to ride those out:0) Thanks to all the people who are running with me including Brittnee and Kenz (okay so they're the only ones). I probably wouldn't get through it without them pushing me to keep going and not stop.

I went to my new ward today and loved it! I got some major spiritual upliftment that I haven't gotten in a long time. There are some amazing people in that ward! I felt the Spirit so strongly and I was reminded of some things that I really needed to remember at this point in my life. The biggest thing being that I need to have hope in my life. Lately I haven't been letting myself get my hopes up about anything because the past year has been such an emotional roller coaster for me...but I really need to remember that my life will be better and feel better if I let myself hope for all the good things that I want to have and to do at some point in my life. The Lord knows me and loves me. I'm becoming the person He needs me to be as I struggle through this life and as much as I complain I really am grateful for all of the trials and especially all of the good things I have--like an amazing family and true friends who love me inspite of myself! Thank you to all of you!
