Running in Circles

Last week I turned TWENTY-SEVEN! 

So 27 things about me and my life right now to try and make up for the weeks of not blogging.

1. I'm running the Boston Marathon in less than a month.

2. Teaching Pilates once a week for now.

3. My calling is Visiting Teaching Coordinator.

4. Discovered that I do like bell peppers.

5. I'm very much in a minimal state of mind. I like less things around the apartment, less things being bought, and less things on my calendar.

6. Ready for a bigger apartment or to move so we can afford a house.

7. So grateful to have a car everyday again.

8. I want to wear lipstick more often.

9. Normally, I like cooking at home but lately I just don't want to make dinner.

10. I got a new ring for Valentines Day- two whole sizes smaller than my engagement ring.

11. Really want to buy a pair of black Swedish Hasbeens and a jade cake stand.

12. I've never actually baked a birthday cake.

13. I'm definitely tired of waking up at 5:30 to run before Brice needs to leave for work.

14. Should probably buy myself a new swimsuit.

15. Mostly reading a lot of children's book from the library, but I did read and really enjoy, Daring Greatly by Brene Brown.

16. I didn't touch my eyebrows for 16 weeks and got then them reshaped and waxed yesterday and it was so so worth it!

17. Took my first Pilates Reformer class last month and loved it.

18. Wishing I knew our plan for the end of summer. Our apartment lease will be up, and I don't want to resign it.

19. Probably not eating enough throughout the day.

20. I'm thinking of starting to count macros- I'm so close to seeing a full 6 pack but I don't think I'm eating quite enough protein. 

21. Wish I was a blogger that got sent free stuff from my favorite stores and brands too!

22. Trying to say yes when I mean it and no when I want to.

23. Excited for our long weekend to Boston without kids! My parents are coming too!

24. Wish I could have a kneaders sandwich and chocolate covered cinnamon bears from the BYU bookstore.

25. Gave up m&ms (my biggest vice) on December 26th and have only had them once since then.  #sweettooth

26. I'm so grateful Brice and I are married- and happy-and willing to work for it.

27. Excited for another year and maybe another city?!
