Sarah's Week 13

Day 85 - Sunday, March 25, 2012: Today's Relief Society lesson seemed to be just for me. It was just what I needed and really was something I needed to hear and apply in my life. I am grateful the Lord is mindful of me, and inspires those teachers to follow promptings!
Day 86 - Monday, March 26, 2012: Today I was so grateful for a dog that snores. It was a better ab workout then anything I've done in the past while. Sooooo funny!
Day 87 - Tuesday, March 27, 2012: Today was awesome because it was completely busy the whole day at work. I love feeling productive and I love being crazy busy, so... today was awesome!
Day 88 - Wednesday, March 28, 2012: Today's tender mercy or blessing was Subway cookies. It was really stressful at work today and not in a good way, and everyone was on edge. It's incredible what chocolate and cookies will do for my mood and stress level!
Day 89 - Thursday, March 29, 2012: Today was awesome! I cut 20 seconds off my mile, and I lowered my weight on my dip assistance! I love making progress when you're not expecting it, but when you need it!
Day 90 - Friday, March 30, 2012: Tonight I went to a birthday party and I wasn't really feeling social, and every time I wanted to just hide out on my own, friendly awesome people would talk to me, and make me comfortable. So today I'm thankful for awesome people.
Day 91 - Saturday, March 31, 2012: Today was the first day of General Conference! And it was incredible, just what I needed. Happy tears both sessions and the News Report in between!

Sarah's Week 12

Day 78 - Sunday, March 18, 2012: Today I was grateful for snacks right after church. I never seem to be as hungry as right after church or right after attending the temple. So today Kari had snacks at church, and yummy then were awesome!
Day 79 - Monday, March 19, 2012: Today my visiting teacher and I went out to dinner for Visiting Teaching. Talked about life while eating amazing Thai food. What's not to love!
Day 80 - Tuesday, March 20, 2012: This is going to sound mean but today I was grateful for unplanned illnesses. Today I was supposed to have an appointment with my trainer, but I had a migraine all day so I was feeling bad that I was going to cancel, when she called me to say she called in sick and could we reschedule. I was kind of a mean answer to prayers. But I'm grateful for the needed rest! Nothing like sleep to help a daggum migraine.
Day 81 - Wednesday, March 21, 2012: I'm grateful for my coworker Shawn, she told me of a soda deal at Safeway! Gotta love fellow bargain hunters! Now my Dr. Pepper addiction with be fed for the next few weeks!
Day 82 - Thursday, March 22, 2012: Today I am grateful for Southwest. I got a great price on tickets to Portland! So now I don't have to drive all the way up for our adventure in April! AWESOME!
Day 83 - Friday, March 23, 2012: Today I am in love with Phase 10... mostly because I won, but also cuz it was a fun way to get to know new people! Yay for game nights!
Day 84 - Saturday, March 24, 2012: Today I am in love with the rain, it caused me to be lazy and slum it all day. LOVED IT!!!

Sarah's Week 11

Day 71: Sunday, March 11, 2012: Tonight Kari and I went to a game night with some of the members of the ward. It was wonderful. I really loved getting to know new friends. Lisa and Rosemary are awesome and I can't wait to have more adventures with them!

Day 72: Monday, March 12, 2012: Tonight at FHE we had a movie night at one of the Bishopric's house, and we watched a Mormon movie called "17 Miracles". It was cheesy and the accents were HORRID, but I was struck by the faith and love and hope of the Martin & Willy Handcart company. The church's foundational members just blow me away. I hope I can share my love with them some day.

Day 73: Tuesday, March 13, 2012: Last weekend I got a package from the Potter family, and it was sent to Lady Sarah Jagger. Well today I ate my Galaxy Minstrels, and tried some of the products they gave me. I love other peoples thoughtfulness, and I love chocolate! And I love the Potters!

Day 74: Wednesday, March 14, 2012: Today my trainer, a body builder guy and I were joking over the girls that show up at the gym with full make up on, and really don't do anything but talk on the phone and check out guys. I am glad others like to make fun of them too. I like being a gym person!

Day 75: Thursday, March 15, 2012: Tonight I got a fun call from Jesse and Kathleen. I just love them. I think I am thankful for them always, but I just can't say it enough. LOVE!

Day 76: Friday, March 16, 2012: Tonight it rained straight through the day and I get to fall asleep to the sound of rain hitting the window and the roof. So calming! I love it!

Day 77: Saturday, March 17. 2012: Today it has been raining calmly, and Lucy (our dog) and I went for a little drive to run errands for the family. Now Lucy loves going for car rides and loves to stick as much of her small body out of the window as possibly. Today she seemed really relaxed and just sat in my lap calmly for the duration of the drive. It was an awesome moment. I love the love that dogs so easily give.

Sarah's Week 10

Day 64: Sunday, March 4, 2012: We had break-the-fast at a Bishopric member’s house that was just amazing! And then we got to hear the CES Fireside that was located at BYU-Idaho. Just a great night with great people; great conversations and the start of great friendships!

Day 65: Monday, March 5, 2012: For some reason I really like earthquakes… when they aren’t really powerful ones. I just think they are kind of cool, and bring a bit of excitement to my day, when they happen! (Since moving back to Cali in August I have felt 4 earthquakes! Awesome!)

Day 66: Tuesday, March 6, 2012: Love that several people have said they think of me when they hear “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera. I also love that my Grandma Jagger loves that song too! =)

Day 67: Wednesday, March 7, 2012: Thankful for a sense of humor on a really crappy day where everything just seemed to go to crap. Then people just made me laugh, and it is true, laughter is the best medicine. (Unless you’re having an asthma attack… which didn’t happen!)

Day 68: Thursday, March 8, 2012: Is so excited by an upcoming job exam! I’m also really really nervous, but I love finding something that interests me. Life is just full of adventures, and Tuesday March 20th, could be an exciting turn of events. (I have an exam for a Sheriff’s dispatcher.)

Day 69: Friday, March 9, 2012: I love the feeling after you finish a workout. Today I ran a mile then did weights with a focus on my back and arms. Then I ran another mile. It was such a GREAT workout! Loved it!

Day 70: Saturday, March 10, 2012: Today I got to adventure with Dad. Our day started out in San Francisco where he needed to finish a few decks for work. So I got to go to the roof deck and read. It was really enjoyable. Then Dad and I had a Groupon for the U.S.S. Hornet. We got to tour around this amazing vessel with so much history. Since both of us love WWII history, we loved to be on the same ship that the Doolittle Raid left on!

Sarah's Week 9

Day 57: Sunday, February 26, 2012: I am grateful for a Bishopric and Stake Presidency that challenge me to be better, and I accept that challenge! I want to grow and become more of what my Heavenly Father would want me to be. I want to become my best eternal self.

Day 58: Monday, February 27: 2012: I am grateful for my sister Kari today. Without her nudging I wouldn’t have gone to FHE tonight, and I really did enjoy myself. I have been pretty shy in my ward, but I need to be more social and appreciate the people I am lucky enough to serve and worship with.

Day 59: Tuesday, February 28: 2012: My trainer gave me a huge compliment today. She said that I have been able to reach every goal she has set me, and that I am one of her favorite clients. (Now she just may say this because I pay her, but man I am so grateful she said it.) I sometimes feel I am hitting a wall when it comes to losing weight. And I know this is because I don’t watch what I eat. Well… I just watch it go in my mouth, but I am not contentious enough about my diet. But I needed that boost that I was still doing well, even though I could do better.

Day 60: Wednesday, February 29, 2012: One of my very best friends Melissa had a baby today, her name is Alora May, and I just wanted to tell her how grateful I am for her. If it wasn’t for her friendship I am not sure I would have made it through my teenage years so well. She was my rock, and my bestest friend!

Day 61: Thursday, March 1, 2012: I am grateful for the power of sleep. Tonight I had the beginnings of a doozy of a migraine and I was lucky enough to fall asleep before it killed me. Thanks heavens for sleep!

Day 62: Friday, March 2, 2012: Today was my friend Jesse’s 29th birthday, and I am really grateful for him. He is one of my best friends in the whole world, and truly is like a brother to me. I always wanted a brother, and the one I adopted is pretty awesome! (As is his wifey, who I also love dearly, and am grateful for.)

Day 63: Saturday, March 3, 2012: Movies that make me laugh until I cry are something that I really really enjoy. I was lucky enough to find one tonight. Kari and I went to the redbox and found “Crazy, Stupid, Love” featuring Steve Carrel and Ryan Gosling. AND IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!
