so..........

i've written two blog posts that i haven't posted yet. they're sitting all pretty in my "drafts" folder. waiting to be published. there are so many good things that are happening in my life right now. there are a few things that have happened recently that kind of sucked. and for some reason i'm letting those few stupid little things take over my thoughts and keep me from enjoying all the good things. i'm changing that. today! a list of things that are making me happy right now. 

.my job...i love it. i love the company i work for. i love my co-workers

.related to the above-i got a promotion! and love my new role

.i've made some amazing friends since moving to provo. people that i feel like i've known for years.

.i'm moving in with one of those friends in just a little over 2 weeks! (can't wait, tracy!)

.i love my ward

.guitar lessons

.golf!

.my provo family. i have some seriously amazing cousins

.my newly formed love for the book of mormon (i always liked it, don't get me wrong. but i actually understand it and get something from it now)

.running (never EVER thought i'd say that)

.friends that i've had for years. friends that i know will always be there for me

.my parents. don't think you could find two better people. 

.my sisters (and brother in law) and nephew.

.music

.baby jacob. and the cassity clan. probably 3 of my favorite people. ever.

.and finally....i ran a freaking half marathon last week! and i'm doing another in october. and i'm running the ragnar relay in colorado next month.

i really don't mean to toot my own horn. but you have no idea how proud i am to have finished a half marathon. that is something that i never thought i'd be able to do. ever. when i crossed that finish line and there were complete strangers cheering for me the feeling was indescribable. it kind of made me realize that in life, not only in running there are people along the way cheering for you. some of them you know, but a lot of them you don't. and you know what? you can do it! i can do it. and when you get to mile 8 in life (which was the hardest mile during my race) and you want to give up...don't. because i have a feeling the satisfaction at the end of this race we call life is 1 million times greater than the satisfaction i felt at the end of my race.

i know, i know...i'm so profound. and cheesy.
