May June July

I don't know what I was thinking, when I said I was going to blog about my extremes... I am the worst at keeping up on things every month. I'm good at it for a couple months and then I suck... So, I'm sorry that I haven't blogged about my extremes for the past 2 months BUT I do have some pics and will share them with you now.

MAY: My friend Erin and I ate at one of the road side Taco stands... Always kinda wanted to, but uh wasn't and still am not to sure about them. But I did do it. The Tacos were super Yummy... Still not sure I would do it again though. Good luck to all you Entrepreneur's out there though!

JUNE: June was a blur to me. It was a crazy month. I think I actually had two extremes but I kinda only remember one. Ok so, I'm not so proud of it either and I have to say that I had fun but will probably never do it again. I played the Penny Slots and I blew 20 bucks... It wasn't my money but non the less, I didn't go home winning.

JULY: With a couple of my friends, I went and did theFlight Line, Zip line down on Fremont St. All week I was totally excited about it. I got there and I will admit I kinda started to sweat a little about it but I was good. It totally rocked! It's kinda cool to fly over peoples heads. Now I really want to do the zip line in Costa Rica. Do you know how awesome it would be to go through the jungle on a zip line... Amazing! Thanks Steve, Seriza, and Becca for going with me!

I just have to note... That I am a little more than half way through the year and I have kept up my extremes! It's been a pretty cool experience actually. It really gives me something to look forward to and I am trying things that I may or may not have ever done. Who says that because I'm 30 I have to be depressed! It's been a great year so far. Lots of different things I have to figure out but it's apart of life and I might as well have a good time while I am trying to figure things out.

Extreme Homemaker

Ok... So, I did do an extreme this month... just didn't blog until the very last day and even the very last minute... almost. I decided that I would make different breads. I have learned how to make bread, but have never attempted it on my own, without the watchful eye of someone. haha

I made breadsticks and I made home made bread, and I will be starting a sourdough bread starter, in the next couple of days. I think I did pretty good actually. The breadsticks didn't look pretty but they tasted ok. I made 10 loaves of bread! I made bread 2 times in one week lol and it made 5 loaves each time. I think I love making bread now! No bread maker, just me and the hand held mixer!

I had a really fun time with doing this. It was pretty fun to hear the reactions from people, when they got homemade bread. It gave me the extra confidence boost, to know that I could keep doing it... hence the 10 loaves, instead of just 5.

Anyway, I am excited for this next month. Have no clue what I will do but I am sure I will figure something out and let ya know. Until next time... Keep it real!

Day 30!!!

Today I was to write down 3 places that I want to go and go there in the next 10 years. So I picked Italy, Alaska, and Back East... the church history tour. Those will be kind of exciting.

So, I can't believe I'm 30! It toally doesn't feel like it. It's been a great day though. Lots of birthday wishes. I got to see all 5 of my cute nephews today! I went to the temple! I went to Red Robin and Macayo's!! Life was pretty good.

This challenge has been pretty fun. Some pretty tough days but for the most part, I have learned that I can do a lot. I'm glad I did all of my challenges. I even decided that I will do the skip. So, starting Sunday, I have to read the Book of Mormon in a week! Crazy huh. But it will be a pretty extreme thing. I'm up for the challenge! Thanks Amy for being such a great friend. I don't think my life would be as good with out you! I love ya!

Day 29

First of all... HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY! Next... I have to tell you that I was able to complete yesterdays challenge today! Tonight was a much better night to do it. I went and got 30 cans of 7 UP and passed them out to people at the park... 7 UP because it's a green can and it's St. Patty's day! Donny and I went around to people and I was very happy with the out come. The people were so nice.I didn't get the crazy vibe from anyone. haha Pretty fun!

So today I was to write 30 things that I was thankful for and then give them in a card to my parents. I liked that one too. I was able to reflect on a lot of things. Times are hard right now and sometimes it's just nice to look back and remember. Maybe just maybe you will remember how happy you were and keep working for how happy you could really be.

Day 28

Buy 30 cans of soda and pass them out to 30 different people at the park. UM... SO I didn't get to do this today. :( I don't even know what to do. I planned on doing it even. I had no intentions of using my skip, infact I didnt even. Because I work further away from home now, I didn't get home when I planned and then we had company for dinner, and then institute... Yeah not so sure what I should have done... I'm sorry guys... I was a slacker.

Day 27

Start today putting $30 a month into a special vacation savings account. So I did! lol if you break it down, it's $1 a day and it's $360 a month and it's $10,800 for 30 years. That would be awesome if I actually saved that much and still used that savings account. Just making sure I replenish. We shall see how it goes!

Day 26

Write a not of gratitude to someone who did something and thought that no one was watching. I decided to write a letter to mom. She is someone who is constantly doing things that really go unnoticed. She worries about us in the morning and makes sure we are up in time for work. She makes sure we are where we need to be, when we need to be there. She helps us when we need help and she love unconditionally, even when it's hard to. I'm super greatful she does all that she does. I love her to death!
