Monday afternoon we went on a hike with a friend and conquered Camelback Mountain! It was quite the hike, and I may or may not be still sore from it.
It has been a while (too long) since I've been on a good strenuous hike(or any hike), it was sad/embarrassing to see that in my camelback (portable "water hose," not to be confused with the mountain now) I still had snacks and my permit tag from my backpacking trip on Maui for my bio class (I was reallllly spoiled when I was a bio major).
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment. Please disregard that we look like a hot mess.Our camera didn't do the hike quite justice, but getting to the top was definitely worth it, having a 360 degree view of the whole Phoenix valley.

Some people complain sometimes about their friends or significant others "drunk texting" them, and either being really annoyed or very entertained. Well, luckily my story isn't one of those, but kinda the same idea.
A couple of nights ago, I wake up to the "beep" of my phone, indicating a text message, at around 2:30am. I was a little confused and said, "who on earth is texting me right now?"
I look at my phone, and sure enough, it has my husband's name on it (whom yes, is {sorta}sleeping right next to me) He says, "Oh that's me, I just texted you." In a no big deal type of tone.
I was so out of it, but I kind of laughed as I read my text message from him that read, "Get away from this weekend."
Yes, so that potentially could sound a little creepy of something you would text in your sleep, but I remember asking him about it in the moment and he kinda said something about him dreaming about being at work {he works at a hotel} so it kinda made sense, in that context.
Being married to this guy just keeps getting better.
I'll keep being entertained, as long as he doesn't start sleep walking.
{If you haven't read about the other funny things he has done in his sleep, you can read about them here, in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd things that he has said.}
May we remember that this day is not about delicious candies and fuzzy bunnies, but about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He lived, and he died for us and our sins, and has risen again. May we make more room for Him in our lives, so that we can have happy and more fulfilling lives, and ultimately to return to live with Him again.
I know with all my heart that He lives, He is my Savior, and that I can be forgiven of my sins through Him.
Sometimes, I think I have child-like tendencies {no, I don't think I'm necessarily immature, thank you very much}. Why so? Well...
#1-Sometimes, I hate the idea of showering. It's usually after I exercise {I'm blogging now to put off showering}. Ok, yeah, that's gross, but it only lasts for about an hour or so, then I actually go do it. Once I do it it's not so bad and quite enjoyable, but there's just something about getting to it.
#2- Lately, I have been getting cranky about having to go to bed, just like a child. I think sleeping at night use to be SO much more fun when I had two jobs and was a full time student, but now...its just another event leading to just another day.
Maybe I should go buy some arm floaties now and go jump in the pool.
(yeah, that's about what I looked like as a child.)
Being unemployed (playing the waiting and rejected game), not a student, and no children, means that you have a lot of time on your hands. I've gotten a little too much into blogging, and enjoy finding random blogs. I've been sharing funny things I've found via facebook with a friend from high school, and in return another friend suggested another blog to look at.
With the powers combined of the blog from my last post and this new blog, I have been lol'ing at my computer, a lot. I think in the last 24 hours, I have laughed more than I have in the last several weeks combined.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I would be genuinely surprised if you did not find at least one of the posts funny.
I'm choosing this to be my "blog of the day." A few of my favorites so far are this and this ...and this one (and this and...). {"codes" are on the right side bar if you're confused}
Let's be honest, I'm usually pretty dang lazy on Sundays; it's the "day of rest" after all, right? Well, I've decided that I'm a little too lazy on Sundays, especially now that I'm not a student.
After joining the missionaries this week in a discussion with a soon to be member of the LDS church, I've felt prompted and encouraged to make my Sundays more church and Christ centered, rather than just being lazy all day. {although this doesn't mean I'll be cutting Sunday naps...} This will take some time and some major improvements, but I know it'll be a good outcome.
So today to work towards that goal, I watched this clip (below), because I missed it the other week when it was presented live, due to the fact we were already on the road heading home from our trip to Utah.
This message really touched my heart and reminded me of what great church and world leaders I have to look up to.
I encourage you to watch it if you haven't already done so; it is beautiful and uplifting whether you are a member of the LDS church or not.
