Kansas City... here I come.


   Man o man, I bought my first plane ticket somewhere on my own with my own money.  How crazy pants am I?  I feel like I'm growing up!  I'm doing things on my own and I'm so excited to spend some time with my friend and learn as much about her town and state as she knows about mine... Thanks Whit!  This is going to be such a fun time. :)

A blog post to no one, but always in my thoughts.

   I am in constant pursual of something EVERY day, and I work so hard to accomplish this goal, but I seem to never make progress.  I feel like I should just give up.  Each time I try and don't succeed a tinsey part of me dies.  Small fragments of this high hope and aspiration fall uncared for to the ground, trampled upon by the ugly feet of life.  I wonder how much I have left in me. Should I give up and just let fate take over?  Hope is a tricky thing.  It's glorious, and wonderful to hang on to, but it is also hard.  My hopes are so large they will take time to accomplish but I want them all to happen to me instantly.  It's hard to put in the work, and not see the results.  'I need some help some inspiration'.  I know that there is hope in Jesus Christ.  That all things are made possible by and through him.  I also know that everything happens according to God's time, but it's always hard to understand that when loneliness takes over.  I can't do it alone, and I need friends and family around me.  I am independent and okay on my own, but I'm so so much better when I have loved ones by my side.  I guess in a nut-shell I'm pleading with myself and others to be aware of ways to improve and to help lives. It's never going to hurt to say hello, or compliment someone for little things they think go unnoticed.  It's also a great to acknowledge when someone has done a good job on something but be sincere about it.  But most of all, it's important to be people's Friends... through good, bad, ugly, and hard.  That's why we're human, to care and lift and love.

One reason I love Utah

Out of many reason I love living in utah is the activity that is possible here!  I was looking at what races i want to do this summer and seeing that there are so many different choices of places, times, prices, etc. within the 4 months of summer.  I have like 8 races that I want to do, but need to narrow those down to like 3 races... and... if paul will ever get back to me, do a triathalon... but... I don't think that's going to happen ;).  Anyway, I heart utah.... and running... and good springtime weather.
