A happy, healthier, and positive me! (And some updates)

I am probably annoying people these days with how happy I am. No, there is no man in my life and there is nothing too exciting other than work going on. But I was in a rut. I decided it was time to worry about Adriana. No more worrying about what others think, planning my day around other people, no more thinking I am too cool for church, and all that jazz. I decided I needed to get my act together and do good things for ME!


So what have I been doing? Well I started reading my scriptures again. I am LDS (if you did not know). If you are not sure what that is ... go to www.lds.org. I promise it is worth taking a look at. I also started journaling. When you have self discovery and revelations unto yourself you start to really look in the mirror and know that you are being a moody judy. Not fun!! Especially when I am my very own critique.

Another thing is, I have decided to force myself to be happy, positive, and kind. Even when I want to say things, it is better to hold my tongue than to say something that I will or will not regret later. If I really want to say it, and I feel I should, I have also learned to just accept the feedback I get back from whoever I am talking to.

I also decided that exercise is where it is at. I feel better when I am working. You know... endorphins. They make you happy. Just like they say in Legally Blonde. I can also work out my frustrations.

One more thing I have done, is to try and do more fun things. No more waiting for people to save money or ditch out on me last minute. If I have money and the time, I am going to do it. I am young, single, and free. I can do whatever I want. As long as I have the funds, and it is something I want to do.

I decided to make a goal for every day. Last weeks list went like this:

Monday: Go out to dinner with a friend.
Tuesday: Make a change
Wednesday: Relax
Thursday: Rent a movie
Friday: Try a new food
Saturday: Go out with a friend

I accomplished all of these, except for Friday. I was going to go to dinner with my brother and sister - in - law, but my sister - in - law got sick! No fun for her! I am going to try to do something that makes me happy. I just decided that it was time to do me, get out of funks, and do what I want to do. With or without approval from friends.



So what have I been up to lately? Well last week I went to the Midway Crater in Midway Utah with Zack. It is a 90 foot crater that you can swim in. The water is really warm.


Then that next Friday my mom and Paige's mom and Paige and I went to the Desert Star theater and dinner and had a lovely ladies night! It was really fun!




Then we had Easter. I had my family over at my parents house for strawberry waffles. It was really fun and I loved having them all over!



We were just missing Ashton and Lisa at our Easter Sunday. They were in St. George with her family.
Other then that I have been doing fun things like going to dinner with my gym buddy Cyndi, and then I got my hair blonde (the pic above was a couple days before I went blonde). I also am down 2 more pounds from my last weigh in which is good. Then last night I went to dinner and Nicklemania with some friends. That was a really good time, except there are no pictures LOL.

Anyway that is all of the updates from me right now. I am just living my life and doing what I can. No doubt I have been in a funk, and not sure exactly what I wanted to do, but I am figuring it out and stepping outside of it.

Until next time....

What's that? Oh I know... a big old slap in the face!

Good morning,

This past weekend was a true enjoyment because it was conference weekend. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. If you want to find out more about my religion click on this link, or click on this link to find out more too!! Everyday I try to be the person I need and want to be, but understanding this can be hard at times. I just love conference weekend (it happens twice a year - in April and in October). It is where we get to hear the leaders of our faith speak to us on the TV, live, radio, Internet, etc..

Well... every time I get a big old slap in the face of what I should be doing or need to be doing ... that maybe I am not. One of the quotes I got was :



Which is so true! You can choose to live the way you need or want to live. Which is why I love my religion! I am not trying to pressure anyone into looking into it or joining it. I understand that all religions and all views and opinions are beautiful and we all have the right and the freedom to express them (here in the good old USA).

I just know that this conference was truly a good reminder of who I want and need to be. It was a beautiful reminder of what I need to do to become the person I need and want to be in order to find the man I want and need.

I think some new goals for this month are in order. I made my new year's resolutions, but I need to set monthly, weekly, and daily goals in order to aspire hire. Truly.

Anyway that is my mushy - religious POV, I am not even going to apologize for it. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Until Next time!
