Two months down:)

Well two months down folks!
It's crazy how fast things can change in two months.
But let's start with the most recents matters...

TODAY! Today was a glorious day (even though it's only 11 am.) I woke up bright and early and went and ran Deer Creek Dam trail. This is my favorite place to run ever. EVER, including all my Vernal spots. It's the most beautiful place!
We ran about 8 miles in an hour and 10 minutes, so yeah it was a nice, slow pace:)
I ran with my teammates and amazing friends Mikesell and Shae. I love them! We have a good time together, and I am excited to spend these next years with them.

Days like today make me realize how thankful I am for a body that allows me to do something so satisfying and amazing as running.
I just love running. I don't even know how to describe it. I just feel so good when I go, nothing can really compare.
It's a blessing, really.
So funny story?? Okay.
Mikesell, Shae, and I are just running along and we are alone on the trail. We start telling scary stories about creepy stalkers and getting kidnapped, and as we are talking our teammate Seth came up behind us. I don't know how we didn't hear him coming, but we didn't. He says "Hey Girls!" and out of the corner of my eye I just see this man in a ski mask! (He was wearing this running head warmer thing because it was pretty chilly.)
It scared us so bad. We all screamed and I like crouched down into the fetal position,a nd Mikesell jumped into the bushes. Haha it was hilarious.
He chose a bad time to come up behind us. Hahaha.

Running has been going pretty good.
As I've said before, running in college was a huge change for me and it took time to get used to. But I'm feeling good now. I'm no longer injured and I almost feel like I have a hold on everything. (almost...)
We had a race at SUU a few weeks ago. It went really well. Both the girls and the guys took first so it was awesome! It was a 4K (2.5 miles). I like the shorter distances better, so I had fun!
It was my best race so far! My time was in the 15 minute range. So I was happy!

I'm super stoked for track to start up.

Weird coincidence???? Let me tell you a story.
Hillary Enloe held the 300m hurdle record at uintah high before I broke it last year.
Yesterday I was looking at the all time top ten record board for UVU and she is 3rd for the 400m  hurdles! #1 I didn't even know she ran here. #2. I need to break her record again. haha :)

I went to the high school state xc race last wednesday. It was so great watching everyone, but super weird to not be running in the race. I miss highschool xc sometimes...

I love getting letters from my favorite kidos:)

This is what we do on Sunday afternoons. Ride bikes and have a chalk fight. It's great fun.

I got to go home!:) I love home, and I miss it alot.

So as I'm sure you all know, our beloved prophet made a big announcement in General Conference. :)
I think this change is just awesome and so right. And I've been thinking ALOT lately...
I have always said that when the age of 21 comes, I want to serve a mission. I have always had that desire, especially after reading emails from my friend Elder Watkins and being in seminary council.
Now the age is so much closer. I could leave next spring

I have alot to think about.
I really do have the desire to serve a mission.
I want to go. I always have wanted to go. I don't want to miss out on that opportunity.
I just need to keep praying and talking to the Lord and my Heavenly Father to ask if that is what they want for me. The Lord's will is much greater than my own.
I don't need to make the decision now. I certaintly have time to think and ponder. :)
I sometimes wish I could see into the future so I could have the answers now!
Life is an interesting thing. :)
