One Day At A Time....

We went to the West Side Market this weekend and got lots of good food.... My favorite was the Citron Creme crepe.... yummy! I had been looking forward to that ever since I decided to go. I didn't care much about anything else... as long as I got my crepe. Then we went to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History . My parents hadn't been there before and I think they really liked it... till we all started getting hungry. $12 Adults $10 Students (with ID) Free for teachers (with ID) So, It cost $22 for the 4 of us to get in.  (Mom had to pay full price, I got a discount and Michelle and dad were free.) T-Rex and Triceratops I got a kick out of this picture...  Michelle taking a picture of the dinosaurs behind my dad.  Dad taking pictures of the big fish fossil behind Michelle. This guy's artwork that was on display is AMAZING!   I love this shirt! I would have...

Week 1: Stop eating candy for a week      Results: I only accidently slipped up once when I put a jaw breaker I have been working on for a few months in my mouth. I quickly realized what I did and licked off the spit and put it away for a later day. I have found that I do not crave sugar as much at the end of the week as I did at the beginning of the week. Week 2: Using the Lose It app for iOS, track what I eat for a week.      Results: Not too bad. I am realizing that my portions are really wonky. By tracking what I eat, I am able to more easily realize what all I am putting in my body, and how much of it. While I did not track what I ate this weekend, I tried to make healthier choices, eating fish instead of a burger. I did still allow myself some splurges Saturday as Michelle, my parents and I went to Cleveland for the day. Crepes, Avocado Egg Rolls and Cheesecake, while not the best choices in healthy eating, I have deemed them as sometim...

I drove to Kirtland with Chiara Cameron tonight to attend a mid-singles fireside and dinner. The fireside's speakers were Elder and Sister Celdon. Elder Celdon, formerly President Celdon, had been a stake president in the Kirtland area and has been called as a member of the 6th quorum of 70. I really appreciated the speakers. A few snippets of wisdom from the talks: Sister Celdon read the book "Ohio Thunder" and then spoke on how to prepare for spiritual storms. Strengthen our faith in Christ Great faith has a short shelf life. Pray for what to do and react quickly when the answer comes. Read the scriptures 5 minutes a day Elder Celdon spoke of some of his time in the military as well as a great analogy about a tandem bicycle. "We volunteered for the Lord's plan; we weren't drafted".~Elder Celdon On a bicycle built for 2, the Lord is in front and we are behind him. We cant see what's ahead of us, but we can pedal and work and continue...

On the road again.... This time to Pokagon State Park around Angola, Indiana for the annual YSA toboggan run trip. Not many pictures were taken, though many were attempted. It's quite hard to photograph a group of people speeding down an iced hill at 40 miles an hour. But, here is a pretty picture of some trees.... And the front of a sled.... Update: 2/7/12-Obviously, I havnt gotten the pictures off my camera yet... Soon...hopefully.

Who? Myself, Jennie, Christina, Michelle Were? Ann Arbor, MI! Why? Because we felt like it! OH MY GOODNESS! This store smells SOOOO good! If you need a spice, they probably have it! After being in The Spice Merchant, we all were getting hungry. So we went to.... Customizeable dish of meat, starch, veggies, fruit, sauce, and seasoning? YES PLEASE! Although, from the looks of this next picture, I don't think Jennie got enough meat.... Today's foot picture brought to you by: Jennie, Christina, and the leftovers! As we were walking back to the car, Christina took the opportunity to take a picture that I really like (credit goes to Christina for this photo) Great way to spend a Saturday!

I know I'm weird. It's part of who I am. So as part of Road Trip Saturday, Michelle or I will take a picture of our feet wherever we happen to go. So, without further adeu....This is Michelle's foot. We took a road trip Saturday to.... the Toledo Art Museum! Steggy Each time I visit this museum, I have to see my relative. Meet Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry! I will write more about him on Monday as part of my Family day post! Michelle and I mainly went Saturday because it was the last day we could view the Egypt Experience exhibit. We couldn't take pictures in the exhibit, but we could take pictures of our hand stamps in the car when we got done....  So we did! :) All in all, it was a pretty fun trip!
