What makes you feel alive?

Short post today....Off to go see my cousin (she really is a sister to me) that I haven't seen in 9 months. We spent many days a week together for years and then she decided to be all cool and move to Spain to nanny. Well she's back......

I want to talk about something I have been thinking about a lot today.....

I know you are going to think someone broke into my blogger account because I am not talking about food......

What makes YOU feel ALIVE. What makes you get out of bed in the morning. What makes you want to be a better person....

Just list 3.....cause that is what I am going to do:)

1. Hugging this boy..... (Yes, we made those hats and they rock!)

2. My Savior and my religion, this is a picture of us in front of the Salt Lake City Temple where we were married.

3. My Family.

4. Okay, four it is. You knew I couldn't do a post without talking about running. This is what gets me up at ridiculously early hours every morning because you know I've got big dreams for the future.....

I think I am really hormonal today (or too much self tanner seeped into my brain) because I couldn't stop crying happy tears as I was writing this. Life is good.

Tell me what makes you feel ALIVE.?

Uh, I don't know if I can narrow it down to 3, but let's try:
1. My Heavenly father - no way I could ever get out of bed without Him.
2. My sweet boyfriend - such a constant encourager and friend
3. Gym time - can't miss it
4. My family and friends - 2 but gonna count them as 1
5. Blogging! Does that make me the lamest person ever? Seriously though, it is a high light of my day every day to interact with people in the blog world. So encouraging and fun and inspiring!
