Pie Day Resolutions

So I know most people make New Years Resolutions, but its a little late for that! So I've decided to make pie day resolutions! Hah! Just a super quick list of goals and things i want to accomplish!



Be healthier. Don't just eat to eat (as I am doing now!). Limit my sugars and fatty things. Stretch at least three times a week, and run or do some sort of intensive work out at least 4 times a week. In the summer, 5!

Write in my journal at least once a week.

Finish my personal progress before I become a Laurel.

Go out for the Cross Country team in the fall.

Run at least a 10K and possibly a half marathon this year.

Keep my overall GPA above a 3.8.

Get a summer job so I can pay for EFY.

Be a lot less quick to anger. Be more patient towards my family and try to be a lot less annoying to them! Make it an effort to do something really fun with my younger siblings at least once a week and really try to involve them more in my life. I want to be a good sister!

Backflip off of the diving board this summer! Yes!

I had a bunch more in my mind about 20 minutes ago, but I seem to have forgotten them. Huh!! So I will have to update when I remember!! :)

Happy Pie Day Everyone!!

Jared and Kellee

So today I was sitting in Young Womens, and for some strange reason I had this thought pop into my head! I thought to myself, "When I get home I should email Jared and Kellee!" For those of you that don't know, Jared and Kellee are my incredible aunt and uncle that live in England. Yes, England. They have two DARLING kids: Jude and Hazel. I haven't seen them in ages! I can't wait until they come home. I've never met Hazel, but let me tell you. She's adorable. So anyways, I wrote a little "JKJH" on my hand so I wouldn't forget to email them when I got home. Well, my dad and I must have been having one of those father-daugher-telepathic-think-alike-moments, or whatever you want to call it, because the first thing he says when I get home is that he finally called Jared and Kellee today and got to talk to them! So naturally I freaked out because 50 minutes earlier I had written their name on my hand. How weird is that?! So anyways, we talked about how they were doing and he said that they read this blog! How cool is that? I didn't even know!! So, I figured I don't need to write a huge long email about my life and all that good stuff because they already know! Hah!!

so instead we will just go with...

Jared and Kellee!! :)
I miss you and your cute kids so much! I love reading your blog, London looks absolutely amazing. It is so fun to see all the incredible things you are doing and keep updated on your whole family!! I can't believe how fast Jude and Hazel are growing. Way too fast! My baby cousins are so big! Holy cow! But I'm glad London is treating you well. I am very jealous of the many adventures you are having and can't wait to hear all about them when you come home!! You are such a wonderful family and I am very blessed to have you in my life and be a part of yours! I love you all very very much!! Hope all is well! We are thinking of you and miss you here in Bountiful! I hope to talk to you soon!

I hope you guys see this!! If not, maybe I will have to do an email after all! :) haha!

Freedom

I hear the rhythmic pounding of my feet as they hit the pavement. They are light and they barely touch the ground. As I run faster and faster, farther and harder, my mind leaves my body. All my fears, worries, struggles; they are gone. I think of nothing except flying. The joy I feel as I float and glide. I am free. This is my natural high. I could run forever. Just go, go until I can run no more. My mind and heart are feeling one thing: bliss. Pure bliss. The blood is pulsing through my thighs, they sting from going for so long. But the stinging doesn't hurt. It doesn't burn. I feel power. Power that radiates through my body just as fast as my blood is. As my feet touch the ground, they spring off. I am bouncing on clouds as I fly. Fly beyond my imperfections, my doubts. As I run, I float higher and higher. I look down and watch myself rise above all my worries. Because right now, they mean nothing to me. I am better then them. My mistakes and regrets that haunt me as I lay in bed are left behind, sitting in my doorway. For a brief while I am free from them. Their sad faces cannot catch me. My running shoes are like the tool that takes me to bliss. When they go on, I am no longer the girl I see in the mirror. The girl who I wish I could change. I am better. I am proud to call myself Abby Moon. I have stolen Cupid's shoes. The small wings that flew him around spreading love now fly me to the sky. They fly me to my happiness. They fly me to bliss.

I don't stop. I keep running. I wish I could run forever.
