Today....

Today I am in the need to find some things I am grateful for. This is the list I have come up with, and please take this in all sincerity, as it is honestly what I am grateful for today.




#1: Holiday Gas Station

There is nothing I love quite like a beautiful, perfect, fountain soda with crushed ice. I'm sure all of you can attest to the fact that people can seriously mess up a fountain soda. Too much soda OR too much flavoring and you have yourself a disgusting mess. But, Holiday Gas Stations ALWAYS have perfect soda. AND they have fabulous ice! I love the little crushed ice. Plus, the lovely ladies at the Holiday off of 5300 S. of I-15 are so fun! Seriously, I can't start a day without a stop at the Holiday.


I will say the only thing that is keeping me from being an official soda-holic is the fact that I do not have crazy acrylic nails, and I do not own my own cup. I re-use my cups 3 or 4 times and then by a new one, just to save all of you GREEN conscious people from having a heart attack.


#2: Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies

This was my breakfast. It was between this and a donut. I was torn so I went with the one that was a 4th of the points (calories and fat) of the other. Yes, this was honestly my breakfast.


#3: Cheeseburgers

I went to the Metropolitan for lunch today. My mom puts on a health seminar bi-annually and today was one of those. My work uses her as our health insurance agent now, so I get to attend. I must say, this cheeseburger is in the top 3 burgers I have ever eaten list. Honestly and truly! And lastly, #4: Intermountain Medical Center

I has my fabulous yearly appointment today. And though I hated every minute of it, I am grateful for my doctor and all he does for me. He even had a medical student shadowing him today, so I got to have two people poking around and talking about me like I wasn't there. Anyway, I really am grateful. Without him I wouldn't have had two years of almost pain-free ovaries. He has been blessed with an amazing gift and I am grateful that he uses it.


So there you have it. I am trying to be positive today, and I think making this list really helped. I do find it oddly apparent that food is the thing I am most grateful for... #1, #2, and #3... :)

Sell! Sell! Sell!

Quenten and I have officially listed our place. I put our condo up on ksl about 3 weeks ago, but after being bombarded by realtors and no prospective buyers, I decided the job should go to a realtor. I knew the chances of selling on my own were slim to none, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.

We are using an agent names Josh Johnson who is with Elite Real Estate. He comes with rave reviews, and at least 10 people have recommended him to me. After meeting with him on Saturday Q and I both agreed he was the man for the job.


I told myself that if the Lord wanted us to move then it would sell, and if he didn't then it wouldn't. Here's hoping he and I are on the same page... I have been ready to move for 2 years now, and I've been trying to be as patient as possible. For those of you who know me well, you know that patience and contentment are two things I lack, so it has been a struggle for me to stay in one place.


I do love my condo for many reasons, and if we could have a dog there I would stay for another 3 or 4 years I'd bet. But that isn't the case, so sell we must.
