Spring Break- Day 1

It's spring break and today was totally gorgeous, and it might be the only day of spring break that is, so we headed to the zoo. Great idea, right? Yes, it must have, because everyone in the whole wide world had the very same idea. It takes us about 45 minutes to get to the zoo from our house. As soon as we left, 3 of the kids said they needed to pee. I told them that they would have to wait til we got to the zoo. Little did I know that once we got to the zoo we would spend another 45 minutes trying to find a place to park. Bryce was shaking the whole car with his pee pee dance, but they all made it.

Unrelated News-I'm so tired and my feet and legs are so sore but I want to keep moving and not lose momentum, so today I went for a 3 mile walk. I ran into my friend Shay, who was also walking. We stopped and chatted a bit. She told me that she was taking her daughter to a friends house and saw me walking and that is what inspired her to go for a walk also. It's just a small thing, but it got me thinking. Shay has been an inspiration to me in so many ways, most notably photography. There are so many people who inspire me, in big and small ways. Meg, I haven't told you this but you inspired me to read the Book of Mormon in 60 days, I'm almost there. My ex-BF's sister who doesn't even know I read her blog inspired me to start running. So what I was thinking is, when we do good things it's just natural that we will inspire others to do good things also. Now if someone could just find a way to inspire me to clean my house.

Randomness- Tonight I made my self the most tasty salad. Baby spinach, chicken, avocado, gala apples, walnuts, and poppy seed dressing. Yum!

yay! I got a lot of flack from some people here about that post. (hence, no follow up when 60 days was over) Apparently, to them, it sounded pretentious. Good grief. I am so glad that I wasn't totally misunderstood by everyone that read it, as my goal was to inspire and motivate. Thanks for posting!
Love your blog.
I want a salad.
