Aparment Enrichment Night #1

So a few weeks ago in church I found a paper on the floor with ideas for enrichment nights and some of them sounded really fun to me. However, neither I nor any of my roommates are currently in any positions in which we really have any influence over enrichment night activities. So Reenie and I came up with the idea of having weekly Apartment Enrichment Night.

It seemed an especially good idea now since in the summer everyone seems to be traveling around and with Meagan now being engaged and Reenie dating someone, there isn't ever a lot of time where we all just get to hang out and do "girl talk." Hence the need for a planned weekly apartment enrichment night.

So for our first activity, we stole one of the ideas off the paper I found. Yoga and smoothie night.

Meagan didn't end up coming, so we invited our neighbor Laura to join us, we all put on our best and tightest yoga pants and had a fabulous and enlightening (or should I say "enriching") time. 

Special thanks go out to my home boy Tony Horton for leading us in the rigorous workout and to the old classic Orange Julius for providing us with much needed refreshment after it was all done.

Aparment Enrichment Night #1 = Success! 

Welp. . .

So after thoroughly enjoying the cute header and design that my friend Andrea made for my blog last summer, which I have used now for over a year, I was able to con another good friend into helping me spruce up my blog a bit. (Thanks Kiley!) And I am really hoping that this will get me excited about writing on here again. Because after all, if I have titled it, "Kate's Summer Adventures" I better get going on writing down some of the summer adventures I have already had, and get excited about planning some more before the summer ends.

So here's to hoping that this will be the catalyst to get this blog going again. . .

Thanks again Kiley!

Please be my Consumer Report

So I have decided to sell my car. It was actually a pretty sudden decision. I am moving to Boston in the fall and planned to take my X-Terra along with me, because I heard that especially as a nurse and working crazy hours, I will definitely still want a car. However, I think ever since my mom got her Camry hybrid and my little brother his Nissan Altima which both nearly double the gas mileage I get in my car, I have been a little jealous. So, even though I have totally LOVED my little beast, I think it is time to sell it and get a more gas friendly friend.

Okay now here is the part that concerns you. I am looking at Mazda 3s. I don't know why. I've never actually even ridden in one. I just think they are cute looking mostly and I know Mazda is a good brand. But I want to know if any of you out there own a Mazda 3 or 6 or know someone who does and whether you love, like or hate? OR do you have a gas-friendly car that you would recommend?

I probably won't start looking very seriously until I start getting offers on my car. But I am hoping that might be soon because I just posted it today on  kslcars.com and I don't even have pictures up yet and I have had 2 people contact me.

Counting Up Again

I'm training for another half-marathon this summer and I think I'll restart my "odometer" on the side bar of this blog. I don't know why, but it really is exciting and motivating to me to run more when I get to find a fun new picture to put up each day. Lame I know, but hey, whatever works!

Cute Video Revival

I watched this little 30 second clip last night. I actually saw it for the first time a few years ago, but feel that it deserves being revived. Check it out!

Can I please take this little boy home?! So cute!!

PS Does anyone know how to just load an acutal video not just a link onto a blog? I used to, but as you know, have kind of sucked it up at blogging lately and I can't figure it out now.
