Halloween :)

It's been so long since I've blogged, and my inspiration for blogging now is....Lela's P-day tomorrow! Wooohh! :) I'm pretty excited, and since Lela can look at my blog, I figured I should write something for her to see.
Hmm...first. Halloween! That's somewhat big, first we had the ward halloween party on Thursday. That was fun, I invited my friend Amy and it was fun! We had chilie and went trunk or treating and then just hung out and ate candy. It was actually a lot of fun, even if it doesn't sound like it.
Then actual Halloween, Savannah, Kinsey, Amy, and I all went trick or treating at Kinsey's neighborhood. Her neighborhood had some of the big houses, and we went to those as quick as we could. Sadly, they didn't have anything amazing...just regular candy. Well, there was this one house that had full sized candy bars..but they gave us Swedish Fish. I really hate Swedish Fish. It was such a let down, I mean they had big M&M's right there and I got...Swedish fish. Ugh. Anyways, so then we went back to Kinsey's house and we watched some of Twitches Too and analyzed. Not really, but we were trying to figure out the one guy's role in the story. So then we dropped Amy off and came back to my house. Where we made smores over the little candles that mom has and then watched Disturbia while eating our candy and some lays chips. It was pretty amusing, since I've seen the movie and knew what was going to happen, watching their reactions was pretty fun! And then we watched the Proposal...which is a really cute movie. Savannah fell in love with Andrew the main guy, and that was pretty funny too! :)
So today, Danielle and I were talking about and reacting parts of the Proposal...and I think we looked a little... weird, for lack of better words. But it was fun, and it was only in front of Mom, so who cares. :) But...Mom made fried chicken today, and we had butter beans, and I made rolls, and it was really good. I had to include that in there, to make Lela jealous. :) Don't worry Lela, you'll get some soon!
I can't think of anything else right now...except it's almost Thanksgiving! And there's a tri-stake dance coming up and I'll get to see one of my friends from efy, and the fact that it's a tri-stake dance is really exciting! Ok, now that's it! :)

Inner Motivation

I’m really good at doing what people tell me to do. Like, give me an assignment and I can get it done! The harder part comes when you give me more freedom. Like I have to call all the shots?? I actually got feedback from one of my internship supervisors that related to this. I walked into the one on one thinking I was going to get perfect marks. And he surprised me! But in a good way, he told me, “You’re really great at coming to us and asking what you can do to help. I would love it if instead of coming to us and asking what you could do, you instead came to us with an idea or even something that you had already done. Fulfill a need and take that initiative! You are a part of this internship for a reason and we trust you.” That was probably the best constructive feedback I have ever gotten and I really took it in stride. I started looking for ways I could help and contribute instead of just asking. Flash-forward two years later and I was walking into another one on one with

Lessons from a Movie: Ford v Ferrari

Image
So, this is going to sound very ‘English Major’ of me, but I love finding the life-lessons in movies. Or maybe not even finding the lesson, but what did the movie get me to reflect on. I think I can safely blame this on my parents and my background as an English major.  (Side note: I once wrote a paper comparing two Star Trek movies and how the villains reflected world events at the time. It was my favorite paper to write, I just watched the two movies!)  Back to my previous thought, I can blame my parents because after movies we would always debrief on the car ride home. We talked about what we liked and what we thought about the movie (the Avengers series is a lovely conversation starter and I have all the thoughts about those, but to give you a snippet- I’m a big Iron Man fan). Anyways, this weekend we went and saw Ford v Ferrari. It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised! To be honest, I only went because Micah really wanted to watch it and we hadn’t been to t

5 Ways to Make Working Out in the AM Easier

Image
Now, let me first say it says easier, it doesn’t say easy peasy! Starting a workout routine or even starting healthy habits takes time and patience with yourself! Be sure to set achievable goals so that you can start off on the right foot. This means if you don’t work out at all right now, don’t make a goal to work out every day! Think about your schedule and set an achievable goal for yourself. This could be anything from 1 day to 3, but be sure to take small steps. Your fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey! When I first started adding a fitness routine into my daily schedule I started off working out after work. At the time it worked great, but I started to notice that things would start creeping into my workout time. For example, dinner, hanging out with friends, being super tired, etc. I was able to overcome those things, but I really wanted to have more time after work to relax or hang out with friends (this was pre-corona). I moved my workouts to the morning startin
