I posted this to Facebook with a caption saying "It's a good day when I get to start a new journal AND use my label maker all in the same day!!" I love starting a new journal. It's like a fresh beginning.

Lame picture, I know. It's the only one I took though. I was at Bed, Bath, and Beyond exchanging the new bedding set I bought there and stumbled upon this. Disregarding the fact that it cost almost the same as 2 non-U chairs at another store, I picked this up for my hubby - who returned the 2 chairs my sister's family bought him for his birthday to the other store and went on a quest to find University of Utah chairs. Oh the things we do to support our sports teams...while we're camping!

I love when people in my ward have birthdays! It gives us a great excuse to have a girl's night out! Happy birthday Amy!

Tonight was the night of my big Scentsy Open House. It was really fun and I had back-to-back people all evening. I loved it!! I am glad I have recommitted to my business. It will be fun to see what this year brings!

Kendra's hair, while beautiful, was in desperate need of a cut. I decided to attempt it myself so I watched a bunch of YouTube videos then cut about 7-8 inches off her hair. I was sad to see her long beautiful locks go but it was so thin and scraggly at the ends, it was necessary. Now, her hair is thicker and more full. She looks way too grown up with short hair though!!

We, once again, got up before the sun to go on a long run. This time, Jessie Price drove us to the top of Suncrest in Draper and we ran down the hill in preparation for our downhill race coming up. We went 10 miles. Once Alexis told me that her dad got 30,000 steps in one day and I figured that would never ever be me - I couldn't reach that many. Well, now I know how he did it!

In the afternoon, we went over to the park by our house for our annual ward picnic. They set up a HUGE slip-n'-slide down the side of the hill. There was a moment when Jeremy and Simon were fixing the slide so we set Bridgett and Ricki together on it. How cute are they? FBFF's! (Future Best Friends Forever!) :)

We celebrated Trevan and Jake's birthdays at the McCullough's tonight. They had a nice BBQ and it was a gorgeous evening outside. We thought to get a sibling picture as Kenny was getting ready to leave. I'm sure you can see it in his face but he looks horrible. He is skin and bones...really, it's gross! He's using again and needs to get to rehab but he's refusing. I keep worrying and wondering if this might be the last picture I ever get with my brother. I sure hope not! :(
