Friday Favorites

It’s Friday, and you know what that means–Friday Favorites!

Favorite snack

Thank you Connie for teaching me the joys of light microwave popcorn with olive oil. Tastes better than butter and it’s better for you! Win-win.

Favorite home away from homeFavorite failed selfie

 

 

Thank you Midway Utah for having such a great trail to run, even if it’s all hills. This is my attempt at a selfie halfway through a 9-mile run. (I thought you’d enjoy a closeup of my hand.)

Favorite steak dinner

Thank you Larry for a most wonderful dinner! I believe this was the first time I’ve ever eaten a steak that big. That 9-miler must have done something to me. I was craving protein and it was delicious!

Nail art

Thanks once again to Meghan for my nails and the great company!

Most Likely to Succeed

Thanks (in advance) to Wells for taking care of us when we’re old. You see, he was voted Most Likely to Succeed as part of his sixth grade graduation (or retirement, as he calls it). And thanks to Ashley, from whom I stole (borrowed) this photo off Snapchat.

Clean car, Ford Edge

Thanks to Larry for a clean car. After weeks of alternating rain and dusty road construction, it was REALLY dirty. Lookin’ good now though!

GG's birthday party

Thanks to my mother-in-law, Betty (aka GG) for having 89 birthdays! And for letting all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren invade her home to celebrate. We’re looking forward to the big 9-0!

Monthly massage

And finally, thanks to Heather at Massage Envy. Sorry for the boring picture. I would have taken a photo of Heather, but I was afraid she might think that was creepy. I can’t risk a restraining order when she does such a great job on my monthly massage.

Now it’s your turn. What were some of the highlights from your week?

    This week I had the pleasure of going on a girls trip with my sister Cindy and my best friend Margie. (This photo is actually from last year’s trip. I gave the girls a break from my constant picture-taking this year.) We rented a townhouse in beautiful Park City. It had all the comforts of…

    Another week of good food, family time, and fickle Mother Nature. These are a few of my favorite things from this week. Starting with the first barbecue of the year. Thanks Larry!

  • Thank you notes: little bits of gratitude

    It’s been a while since I’ve written a Thank You Notes post. It’s not that I haven’t had much to be grateful for…more that I’ve been caught up in other things. But now I’m back, and I’ll try to condense my little bits of gratitude from the past several months into one post. I created…

  1. I hope you take this as a compliment but I think you look a lot like Bry in that running pic. (Maybe it’s the hat.)
    And I love Betty! Happy 89 to her, and congrats to Wells! ?

  2. Haley had a fun baby shower for Liz, I went to dinner with work friends at a delicious Indian restaurant and got my nails done. (Mark washed my car also. Go husbands!)

  3. Nikolah graduated from high school and I got to be there! Helped Bill shop for his interview. Felt Lizzie’s baby move. Drove 12 hours home and was greeted by the man who loves me. ❤️
