So this year, I'm determined to get into shape, not that I'm feeling fat I just feel weak and I want to be able to run more than a mile without feeling totally worn out. So goal #1: Workout for at least 30 min 3 times a week, hopefully this is acheivable. I plan on doing DDR3, running, doing the elliptical and of course an ab workout because the baby fat still lingers :) Goal #2: Read my scriptures for 15 minutes everyday....come on who can't do that, but I'll admit I've been terrible lately about that but my plan is to wake up 15 minutes earlier and read.
Thats it! I hope I haven't set myself up to fail :) j/k I'm just trying to keep it simple and achievable.

After a hectic day and a stressful week, I was able to go to women's conference tonight and listen to the Relief Society general presidency and President Uchtdorf speak. I never know how much I need it until I'm there. I loved President Uchtdorf's talk...don't look so hard for the golden ticket that you forget to enjoy the candy bar. A valuable message that I will strive to apply in my own life when I'm so busy looking forward to the time when I don't have to work and that I can just stay home with my baby girl that I forget to relish today and enjoy what I've been given right now. I also loved his apostolic testimony affirming that each of us is important and loved by the Lord. A spiritual uplift for me and I'm looking forward to next weekend for more such messages.

So this weekend I went to the Emergency Essentials store to spend my $20 in free gift cards (see previous post) and I was able to get 3 #10 cans of quick oats, and 1 #10 can of barley (we don't eat barley that much so that one can is good for our 1 year food storage) and I also bought and Nalgene-esk water bottle. The total out of pocket i spent was: $5! Woot woot! I have a budget of $30/ month for food storage so this month I used only $15 of that budget becuase I spent $10 earlier in the month on a 20lb bag of rice. I look forward to the case lot sales sure to happen this next month!

Here are two videos of her crawling, the first on was from the beginning of the summer and the second one is from just a week or two ago. Then the third video is older but its of her eating, I love the little sounds she makes while she's eating!!
Dear friends,
I have recently added two links to my blog and you may be wondering why...or maybe not but I will tell you anyway. You can earn $20 in free food storage from "Emergency Essentials"!! How? You just need to add the links that I have on my blog to your very own blog, then email the company with a link to your blog and they will send you a $10 gift card for each of the links! Here is the website with full details and the link that you need to post onto your blog! http://preparednesspantry.blogspot.com/2010/09/earn-20-in-gift-cards.html
