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?

  • To stretch, or not to stretch: that is the runner’s question

    Should I stretch before or after running? Maybe both, or not at all? I hear that question a lot. I’ve asked it myself. Read the magazines or look online, and you’ll find a confusing mix of opinions, even among the experts. I am not one of those experts, and I don’t have a degree in…

  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. ❤️
