This weeks findings...

Another random list of things I have learned this week or things that make me smile.
  • I learned that no matter how old I will get, some 1 on 1 time with my mom can fill the canteen. She always wants what is best for me. She's the best mom ever!
  • Sometimes a store like Good Earth is a huge blessing because it gives me some variety in the food I get to eat. I just wish I had one in Price.
  • Rice milk is so yummy! I had never had it but it is a sweet treat for me, even when it isn't the flavored kind. Next I will try soy milk.
  • This cleanse is a great weight loss plan. I am finally starting to feel better. The symptoms aren't gone yet but they aren't as bad as they were. 1 month down and haven't cheated once. I'm hoping to do this for at least one more month.
  • The power of the Priesthood is amazing and it's such a blessing to have a wonderful husband and father that are able to give me a blessing when I am feeling awful to give me some peace of mind and comfort.
  • Having a good friend at work can make all the difference in how you feel when there.
  • Cosmo being here is helped me not be as lonely while Scott is at rehearsals for a play. He is my little companion.
  • Having someone come and visit me here in Price is priceless. Sometimes I feel so disconnected from the rest of the world and having my parents and grandma come down this weekend is as exciting as Christmas.
  • I learned that Heavenly Father is always looking out for us and when we need some help he will provide it to us. He is good.
  • Healthy food can taste really good but man is it expensive to eat healthy and time consuming to make.
  • I love having the dishes done before I go to bed. Waking up to dirty dishes is no fun.
  • Living in a small town has it's benefits. I walked in and out of the driver's license division in 15 minutes with a new driver's license. The new process is a pain and I'm so glad I didn't have to do it up north where the wait times are up to 2 hours long.
  • My parents gave us their old treadmill and I think I finally have enough energy to start exercising and I'm pretty excited.
  • Seeing how excited Scott and Cosmo are to see each other after a full day and night apart is priceless. They are crazy about each other and it makes my heart happy. (But poor Cosmo is in mourning for the time that Scott is gone and just mopes around the house acting as if someone died.)
  • I have realized that I do have self control and the power to do what is best for my body. (It was tough watching most people in my family eat ice cream on Sunday, I miss ice cream but I did resist.)
  • Finding high quality avocados on sale 3/$1 is like finding gold, and I did stock up.
  • And finally, I found out I passed my notary exam and within 2 weeks I will be an official notary public!

How cool. If we need to have anything notarized we will come to you first he he. I'm glad things are going better for you. After next month do you plan on slowly adding things back? You should post before and after pictures :) Oh and LOL about crying to get your way ha ha. I should try that. Oh and about the dishes...man I'm the same way. I have to put away the clean dishes from the dishwasher before I go to bed. If I don't it adds onto the stress of the next morning getting everybody up and ready. We are getting super excited for June, how about you guys?
