Bonus Visit for the Gaggle of Girls

I got crazy this week and flew up to SLC on Sunday. I visited with Clare and then made my way to Logan to hang out with the cutest gaggle of girls.


Margie is always the most kind and gracious host and I had a great time. We went ice skating, ate ice cream, played oodles of games, and swam at Bear Lake one afternoon. Margie has her house organized and it is motivating to be immersed into her routine. Thanks again to Betsy for your hospitality and to Sandefur for memorializing our visit. There is nothing better than family.

Catch up

Chandler came over and helped me download the photos I took with my phone, so here is a little catch up.

Last weekend we took advantage of the generous gift James offered and had a free dinner at Red Robin. It was delicious.

I spent three days in the Orange County courthouse this week arguing motions on different cases. By the third day, I figured I should post a photo of my stomping grounds.


As much as I dislike the stress that goes with a court appearance, there is oddly something I like about it. I'm not sure what it is; maybe just feeling like I have a skill and I am needed.

Then Saturday arrived. I said a prayer the night before asking Heavenly Father to make it a really long day because I just wanted to have a nice day to enjoy.

Sure enough, I woke up super early and was on the bike trail by 6 a.m. I love the 6 a.m. crowd. They are my kind of athletes.

I was still feeling good after my ride and I missed lifting weights on Thursday, so I headed over to the gym.


I threw my swimsuit in my gym bag just in case I felt inspired to swim some laps. Inspiration hit me and I had this whole pool to myself for a good hour. It was extremely peaceful. After I finished my laps, I didn't want to get out and played like a kid doing hand stands and flips.

I eventually got out and started to work on my "to do" list for the day. This sign reads, "Happiness is a Clean Car (with foam wax)" It makes me laugh.

After I got a few things done, we went out to dinner at Lucille's BBQ.

I apologize for making this such a long post. If you are still reading, I just wanted to share that I am oddly happy. When I was a teenager, I had everything planned in my life. I thought I was in control, and I've learned through experience, that no matter how much I try to take charge of my life and make things happen the way I think they should be, I am not in control. God is in control. I'm sure most people look at my life and think my life is a little odd. They are right. It is, but that's okay because my life is just the way he wants it to be. Even though it may be odd, I am happy.

I hope that wasn't too deep to share here. Thanks for being my friend.
