Thankful

 I am more thankful thank this would suggest:

I’m blessed in so many ways. I get paid to do things I enjoy: lift weights, meditate, play sports, ride bikes, and laugh with teens(or at?)

I have built a wonderful family with a wonderful man:

 I live in a good community in a cozy house:

I know I am a daughter of God who is loved and watched out for. 

I live in a free country surrounded amazing by amazing people. So. Much. To. Be. Thankful. For. 

Nickels

Do not be deceived by names like Nickel City or Nickel Mania if a child ever asks you to take them there. What sounds like a cheap place to go for entertainment is not so. Yes, the games are measured in nickels but if you want to entertain for more than 2 minutes you’re going to need a lot more nickels than you’d think. This outing took over 800 nickels. 

But this girl got to play a game she has been thinking about for over a month, so maybe it was worth it?

A Queen: If the Crown fits!

I am not a fan of being in the spotlight. Today a flock of district representatives flooded my gym with balloons, candy, pens, and oh the most important part a grant for 1000 dollars for my bike shop. I guess I can handle the spotlight for a good cause. 

And sometimes you don’t want to cook and Burger King is the answer. And sometimes, even as a 47 year old, you need the crown! (Rozz thinks it’s ridiculous!)

Professional Bike Rider

Did you know they actually pay me to take bike rides three days a week? It’s pretty fun, even if it is also pretty cold these days. Maybe the payment is needed.

I get to see pretty views!

And look for hearts…signs that my mom is always near!

 

Provo River Delta

Took my kids out to the new River delta made by Provo City to protect the beloved June Sucker, a fish that is only naturally found in Utah Lake.

 It’s a pretty place and I look forward to riding my bike around the new trails!
