3 Years Ago Today...

We were married for Time and All Eternity.

This was the best decision I ever made!

I love you Stephen!

Motivation? ... or the lack there of

So...I always wonder how to motivate myself to exercise during the winter months. I don't know if anybody else has this same problem. The summer months make it so easy. I go running 3-4 times a week plus all the other summer outdoor activities, hiking, water skiing, ultimate frisbee, or taking walks with Stephen after dinner. But this time of year it's just so stinking cold that I lose every ounce of motivation. I'm always so drained after a long day of teaching, getting home around 5pm making dinner and dishes....I'm about ready for bed after all that. We do have a small exercise room at our complex that I need to take more advantage of. But it's hard to get myself even outside with these freezing temperatures. Well, Stephen found a way to help with this dilemma...it was the perfect Christmas gift. Thanks sweetheart!
I absolutely LOVE it! It really gives me a good workout. I'm using muscles I haven't used in a very long time. After a few weeks of using it I feel great! Working out during the cold months....bring it on...well in the comfort of my own home! Yea! Now for the rest of my New Year's Resolutions.....I'm still working on those.

2010

Happy New Year!!! I can't believe it's January and we're heading into a new year. Well, actually a new decade...time is going way to fast these days. I look back 10 years ago and what were we doing back then....?

Emily was...

• A sophomore at Utah State
• Enjoying the college life with roommates and friends
• Working towards applying to the special ed program and hoping to get in
• Left the teen age years and feeling more mature being a whopping 20 years old.

Stephen was...

• only 6 months into the mission field serving in Argentina
• still trying to figure out how to speak the Spanish language fluently
• hard at work :)

The world was...

• scared to death by the whole Y2K thing and had everyone in a panic, which really amounted to nothing.
• had just elected George W. Bush to office and didn't realized what this man would have to deal with during his term in office with terrorist attacks and our country going to war.
• reality shows on T.V. were just starting to come about
• the internet was something most of us still dialed-up to connect and was mainly used to check email

Crazy what we're you doing 10 years ago?
