This is one of those posts that happens because you feel like you should update something, but you're not really sure where it might go.  I feel like I haven't written in a really long time and I just need to catch up.  Sometimes I think this blog might be the only personal history I have so I should keep it somewhat updated!  Life is actually pretty good right now and overall I'm a pretty happy girl.  I started focusing a lot of my energy on physical, financial, and spiritual well being and it's amazing to me how well it's going.  I was introduced to the Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover by my cousin Hailee and I've learned a lot about all the things I've been doing wrong.  It kind of sucks when you realize you have a huge hole to dig yourself out of, money wise, but on the other hand, it's nice when you realize that in 2 1/2 short years you can be totally debt free and on your way to financial freedom.  A year ago if someone told me I would be able to pay off all my debt in a few years I would have laughed, but when you practice proper principles the impossible becomes possible.  As for the physical well being... well let's just say it's slow going.  I'll do really well eating right for like a week and then something throws a wrench in the plan, like a 65 hour work week.  If I could convince my body that french fries and corn dogs are disgusting, this would be a lot easier.  It's so hard for me not to eat at work.  I just need some self discipline... anyone know where I can buy that??  I also need to exercise more.  It's so hard to be good!!  Spiritually I struggled for about 3 weeks before I remembered that if I remember to pray and read my scriptures my life is better and easier!  I started again Monday and my goodness, it's miraculous!!  Living by correct principles works!  Who knew!!  Anyway, that's about it... till next time faithful reader!
