Thankful for Friends & Family

This week I'm thankful for friends & family! I mean I always am, but...

Did you hear about the Megabus accident on Thursday afternoon? One person died and many were seriously injured. I'm a big fan of Megabus and frequently ride it.
My dad sent me the article first. Then I started getting texts from friends. Some just informing me (knowing I was in Chicago), others checking to be sure I wasn't on it.
It was so nice they cared enough to check-in with me!

I have awesome friends!

Then I saw Greta posted this picture on facebook...

Umm... adorable!
Karen commented on the photo: "Awww...I remember going on rides just like this when we were younger. :)" And it's exactly what I was thinking. For me, on Dad & Jeffrey and NOW here's Jeff doing the same thing with his son.
This to me is a perfect picture for so many reasons!
(Thanks for sharing, Greta! And Greta's birthday is on Tuesday so HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, GRETA!)

Kitchen Safety

We moved! We're in our new place and we just got wifi. Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly. I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven. The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off. Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm. Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do. In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with. There were definite flames. Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do. He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven). He said to throw baking soda on it. I did. It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet. Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop took awesome photos while flying over Dutch tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse . Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
