Why I need to excercise

Forty minutes of cardio 4x a week can double the amount of blood flow to the hippocampus (the brain's memory center), enhancing recall, report scientists.-Fitness Mag

This is my motivation for the week. Since last night, I forgot my phone was on my seat belt and I stopped to run an errand and lost it for 12 hours. How lame am I that I have felt like I lost an appendage or even my car. I am far too dependant on my cell phone. So as I drove around running errands this Saturday morning in preparation for Game Day...I realized I missed talking to my husband or friends any ol time I wanted to, being able to answer a text when someone texted me, my grocery list, the code to my parents gated community...and a whole lot of other things.

So I will exercise more this week in order to have more flow to my brain. Apparently I need it since my phone has been pulling most of the weight.

Too Funny!!

Sweet idea

Okay, so I desperately miss my photo editing program from the State. But love the pic on the right, here I sit in front of the Olympics totally exhausted thinking, where could I put this, and what word would I do???

Return of the Youngstroms

Yep, the Youngstroms are just visiting Utah. I would say Zion, but New York really does rock...alright maybe it's a second to Seattle. Yes, we would love to move to the real world! Anyway, while I worked today Chad and the Youngstroms visited Provo and then we met up with friends for dinner at our fav restaurant Lanikai BBQ Grill in South Jordan. The best Pork, Garlic Chicken, and BBQ Beef we have had in Utah. Now we can say the Fry Bread also rocks too! We love having family in town and love Anna Bear even more! Just a few pics of our evening.

Best Friends

I just want to thanks my friend Amy for being the best friend a girl could have! She is such an inspiration to me and encourages me to be better. She is also so incredibly funny and one of the most amazing people I know. I just want to thank her for helping me through major heartache recently and for being my rock! I don't know what I do without her!

Google and other deep thoughts

Google is my friend. We have a deep relationship, it not only makes me look good at work when it answers my odd questions, but it also helps me learn new things like how to fix a fence or dishwasher, how to order parts or books, how to cook certain foods, the list is endless.
But when I have those deep thoughts that I ponder on constantly and even dream about, I often wish that that my friend Google worked on brains. Like when I voice the never ending question, "What do you want for dinner?" I could access my Chadoogle and it would say, "Wow, I really want tacos." Or when I am stuck in an extended meeting, I could reference my Workoggle and it would tell me what time I would get out of the meeting or what's going on in my office that I might need to rush back to. Or I could hit the ever ending Friendoogle or Enemyoogle (yes, apparently I have arch enemies just like Batman) and it would give me advice on how to help someone, what they are thinking or how to fix a problem.
How grateful I am that we have prayer the best "oogle" that we could ever need! One that actually answers back, and provides support and love. I am also oh so grateful for my wonderful Chadoogle that thankfully never goes offline and continues to help me oh so many times. Yes I am having dilemmas in my oh so "Psycho Amy" world that I only wish I could Google and fix. So to my blogoogle one of the many questions is, how do you love someone who despises you??

Presents for Ginger?

That's right, bacon, chicken, or beef flavored bubbles that your dog can chase...

We thought we would get this so Chad can take Ginger to school athletic activities!
