Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned

I have learned a few things:

I still hate frogs
Its okay to cry
Its okay to ask for help
"If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got"
You get more of what you focus on
Maybe I can be beautiful with a few extra pounds on me
People can forgive and do!
Even when I mess up, people still love me
My body functions better without wheat and dairy
Still love soda
Yelling isn't the answer
Hitting walls HURTS
The church is true
I have some pretty awesome people who have stood with me during this hard time
I love working with children
Prayer works
Its impossible to be happy when you aren't doing what you know you should be doing
I LOVE swimming pools
I do not handle the humidity and heat well. Like at all.
Learning to kick the negative out and let the positive in!
Hugs and I love you's go a long way.
In love with the show Man vs. Food Nation
I do not like volcano tacos
Family Rocks
Excercise keeps me sane
Free stuff is the best
Ready for change and a happier life
The final Harry Potter movie about did me in...
I still love Miles Curtis.

Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then


YEAR AGO
I was in Jackson, Wyoming experiencing a lot of "firsts" such as whitewater rafting, trail riding on a horse, going on a ski lift, hiking up real mountains, swimming in glacier lakes, seeing bears and moose pretty much on a regular basis. I was also about 30+pounds heavier and very lonely. I was trying to find my way and just felt lost most of the time. While I loved most of my time there, I don't want to go back and be that person again.

TODAY
Obviously I'm married. And that, my friend, changes everything! I have someone who loves me. I will never be "alone" again. Whether I like it all the time or not, I now have an eternal companion. Someone who forces me to not think about myself constantly and who has enabled me to overcome so much. Someone who comforts me in those dark moments when I feel unable to continue. That alone, is worth everything. Even though I'm so much happier than I was a year ago, times are hard for us right now, I know in the end we will make it, and be better and stronger for it!

Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge?

I'm doing it basically for two reasons.

One: I LOVE doing surveys/answer questions-type activities

Two: Its a great way to get a person to think, to share things about their life that you normally wouldn't do. Its fun to see!!!
