Things I Love Lately

~God. This might seem odd, as i'm always thankful for God, but this year i've really grown in my relationship with Him. And the more I learn, the more in awe i am. Our families have gone through some rough patches this year, but God has provided peace, comfort, and healing through all of it.

~Rainy days

~Football season! CU is off to another rough start, but the Broncos have Manning!

~When my hubs brings home flowers for no reason

~Getting to spend time with my sister and bro-in-law

~My new running gear. I recently got compression socks because my shins were hurting. And they're fabulous! But, you can't wear compression socks with capris- it just looks goofy! So, i got a running skirt! It doesn't ride up and it's comfy. I take back all of the bad things i ever said about running skirts.

~Great deals! Ben and I found running shoes at 60% off! And i got this super cute bag for 70% off!

~Relaxing days with the hubs. We recently bought a disc golf set and road our bikes over to a course and played a round. I love doing things like this together!

~The fall crispness in the air

~Starbucks soy chai latte

~Feeling more confident

~Friends that challenge me, push me, and encourage me

~Beth Morre's Daniel study. I think i've mentioned this one before, but it's still going, and i'm still learning A LOT! Daniel is SO much more than a fiery furnace and a lion's den!

~Getting excited for Christmas. The past several years i haven't been excited at all. I usually get the holiday blues. But this year- i'm all over it! Ben and I have already created our gift lists of what to buy poeple, and i've already come up with a few ideas for our Christmas card. Look out! No promises on the Christmas music though...

~Coach McCartney's radio show. Fridays at 4 on 102.3

~Pinterest. I finally caved and created an account. It's actually really cool!

~Bath and Body Work's leaves scent. It's so fall and my absolute favorite!

~Fall tv shows. The voice and Parenthood return! Thank goodness for DVR

~Meb Keflezighi. Check out this video of his workout leading up to the Olympic marathon. It's a little long, and if you don't like running, you probably won't like it, but it's inspiring to see how hard he worked leading up to the Olympics. He represented the USA well.
