No Restraint

So I have come to really appreciate people who don't hold back. This can be the man who throws his arms around you in utter adoration....or the server at the restaurant who tells our manager that he should stop telling us to get busy when all HE does is stand around and chat......or maybe the roommate who says "get out of our apartment!" Haha oh.....I love people like that. Probably because I hold back waaaayyyy too much.....I think I need a man like that in my life.. :) Thank goodness I have such great sisters.... :)

Re-Discovering Old Discoveries

1. Racquetball is one of those forgotten, yet incredibly fun sports. We had our ward activity on Saturday at Noah's. I thought it was great! It got me back into my racquetball swing. There was also wallyball, lots of pizza, pool, good music, great people....

2. Having dinner together nightly helps to re-kindle friendships. Kleresa made up this delicious stuff.....I don't even know what was in it, but man! It was soooo good! And we play the finger-on-the-nose game to figure out who is gonna pray. Camille lost..er..won.

3. Black and white makes anyone look better. Just some fun with my camera haha....sometimes I try to take the pictures that everyone else takes..you know, those classic poses....

4. Christmas trees should come down a lot sooner than January 24th...Yes, our Christmas tree is still up........for wayyyy too long. We decided we would just decorate it for each holiday--pretty soon it will be covered in hearts for Valentine's day.

5. Even though we have our differences, I believe all people can come to a point where they find common ground, and form great relationships.

6. After a year and a half of owning this camera, I finally figured out how to put it on black and white, sepia, and do other color options. It's like a whole new world has opened up to me!

Yoga is my new best friend

I have come to realize how much I LOVE yoga! I started it about a month ago, and my body feels so good after doing it! For anyone who gets stressed easily, or has difficulty with joint problems, or really anyone, it is a GREAT workout. Pilates is great too, but I feel like a lot of times it is overdone in the media and such. (though it is still great....they really are prettymuch the same, to be honest)

This is my favorite:

It's a twenty-minute cardio-yoga, so it gets your heart rate up while strengthening and lengthening your muscles--and its only 20 minutes! And it is easy on the body!

If you aren't feeling you get enough cardio, you can always jog for 15-20 minutes afterwards, if you have time.

GRE is DONE!

Tuesday was the big day for the GRE! It's overwith yay! I got a 540 on the verbal and a 610 on the math.....Im just praying I got at least high enough to get in, thats all that matters really.

Layten and I went together which was good because it made me a lot more diligent about studying and actually taking the test. I kept telling him how anxious I was, and he was like "Well, I am feeling surprisingly calm about it!" I don't know how guys can do that.

I think my brain was swimming all day afterwards, but we went out to Burger Supreme later with Layten's roommates and my roommates and then we had to leave really quick, but it was good to get out and do stuff with friends! And Burger Supreme is the BEST! :)
