Thankful Things!

So today I am exhausted! I was up half of last night wondering if Alaska was the right decision for me. It came to the point where I told Heavenly Father that I was so excited and I wanted to go to Alaska (heart) and it made sense to me (mind), and that he was going to have to let me know if the answer was anything else.

• Thankful Thing #1: The Holy Ghost! I'm glad I don't have to make super big decisions on my own! 

 The only thing that I felt yucky about was giving my notice at work. I really do love the job, but they can't give me 40 hours a week. They just can't with the unpredictability of business. It has been fantastic since I got home, but I need more.And I've never quit a job before (except to go back to school/home/mission)

• Thankful Thing #2: My bosses were really really great when I gave my notice. They understand that I need things they can't give me, and appreciate the idea. 

So... anyway, (Rachel, please note my small paragraphs) I tried to sleep around midnight and it didn't happen till after 2am. I worked at 8 am. So my 5 hours of sleep plus adrenalin plus a Dr. Pepper... Then after work (and after submitting notice, scariest moment ever, but it went well), I went to watch my neighbor's daycare. (I was so tired!) But those kids are great (and it is really nice to make a bit more money).

Then I went home, ate dinner, did dishes, and went home to finally put my feet up. I was only home for a little while before Rachel came over and told me we were going on a walk. That's right, not asked, told. It was probably a good thing. We took a 3 mile path, which isn't too bad (except for a few long, long hills). We took all three dogs (that's right! Big, medium and little), and it was a grand old time!

• Thankful Thing #3: A sister who sometimes tells me to do things rather than asks me. Because we all know, exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, and happy people don't have breakdowns due to rapidly changing life situations! Also, I'm way tired, so sleeping isn't going to be a problem. 

• Thankful thing #4: I get an Alaskan Adventure this summer!
