Wickenburg, AZ

Sevrine and I had  fun day out in Wickenburg taking pictures.  It was a little hot and we didn't take as many as we would have liked, but I think we got some good ones, and more importantly, we had fun. So here are a few pictures so show you what we did.

Update

Well, here is the update.  There is a little bit of progress on my "take care of me" goals.  Sevrine and I have been walking a few nights a week (depending on whether or not she got her homework done), I'm taking more pictures and I'm running a 5k on the 12th.  I'll also be heading out today to go and take some pictures to see what I come up with.  I did find a really cool editing program online that can do some cool things. So, off to a decent start so far.

New Beginnings

I feel like it's time to make some new goals. I think it goes in cycles for me. I start to take time to work on myself and start to feel really happy, then I get into a relationship and neglect myself a little bit. Not as much this time, but I do know that I started to give up more and more of the things that make me happy. So, it's back to working on me, and hopefully when/if I meet someone, I'll continue to make myself a priority. So, here are the things that I would like to do:

1. Run a 5K every other month (or every month if I can swing it).

2. Take more pictures

3. Go hiking with Sevrine twice a month

I'm sure there will be more things, but those are just a few that I want to do. In light of that, the picture I'm posting is not one that I took, but I did do the editing on it, and was really happy with the way it came out.

I'm kind of a big deal

Or at least my boyfriend thinks so. We live about 3 hours away from eachother so when we see eachother it means one of us spent 6 hours round trip in the car.Next week its my turn to make the drive. Yep, true love. :)

Mesa Temple

Here are a couple of pictures I took while walking around the Mesa Temple on Saturday.

When you least expect it

If you had asked me 2 months ago if I thought I'd be in a serious relationship I would have said no, because at that time I had figured I was going to take a break from dating for a while. But, I am in a serious relationship which feels comfortable and unbelievable at the same time. The best part is that he feels the exact same way.

Not all sweat is created equal

I've done the gym thing, the Aerobics DVDs, Yoga, Pilates, and other various fitness activities, but nothing beats running. I know that sounds weird, and if you know me, it sounds even weirder coming from me. However, the one thing that I've found is that through all those activities running actually makes me feel like I've earned that sweat. Yes, I know that sounds disgusting. I hate sweating at the gym, and more often than not, I don't really think I worked hard enough to sweat much at all. Running is completely different, I totally worked hard enough to sweat, and I don't mind it, because I think it reminds me how hard I worked. lol I know this is totally crazy, but oh well. :)
