things that happened this month

in no particular order except what pops in my head and what i remember based on my calendar:

• i went snowshoeing. on our property. and the proceeded to have the nastiest blisters. which prompted me to:
• BUY NEW WINTER BOOTS!
• i also bought erik ... 3 pairs of pants and new sneakers. it may have set me back for the month but my goodness was it necessary. 
• we went to heidi's for dinner. that was a lovely experience. and we found out that we know her next door neighbor. weird. 
• i had a stomach thing for the first part of the month. that was not fun. also not fun? endless snowstorms. 
• i ran at least 32 miles. which really doesn't sound like much considering the amount of time in a month. i also realized i really need to do supplementary runs instead of just doing long runs. it makes my long runs terrible. 
• i helped shannon rearrange her furniture only to move it all back. and we made glasses for the:
• WINE PARTY. which was fun. but it was also the day that my car battery died and i got a new PHONE! so it was expensive. 
• then i took my new phone and new battery on a trip to newington with brandy where we proceeded to go to every store under creation. i'm so not as young as she is. and my car got stuck in the parking lot at the kingdom hall. that was scary because i really didn't want to hit anyone else's car but i couldn't get up that hill.
• oh! i decided to open an etsy shop! so i worked on paintings and gathering materials so i can open my shop in april. et2paints!
• barty got fixed and that was one of the most stressful days of my life. 
• erik had his first and second days of boiling. day one was way more exciting then day 2. day one ashley, meikel, chad, charlie and heidi all came over. day two it was just me and him. but his set up is pretty amazing. 
• amy moved to alton! i'm so excited! she's so much closer now!!
• i worked out in service with sharon twice. and emma, sarah, lori, jason, and shannon! i love invitation work!
• oh! we watched all the indiana jones movies! so much fun! 
• i received my second box from club w. that's fun. 
• i went to mom's and had a really good time. i ran her road too. that was tough. 
• i also ran with debbie. :) then erik and i went to hobbs.
• and i started strength traininng. sorta. i don't know if it can count as strength training if you only do it once a week but i'm pretty pumped. this was my second week and i seriously can lift some weights! well, more than i ever thought i could. 

so pretty good. VERY busy month.
