Thankful Thursday (4)

I'm thankful that...

1. My "driver" friends and Mom help me not to settle for less than I deserve, and at the same time, not to be too dramatic or take everything too personally.  In other words, they balance me out!
2. I got a chance to lay out and swim before they officially close the pools!!  (At Natalie's apartment pool with Nat, Bobbi, and Cassidy) ...so yeah, I'm glad I decided to let go of the body image issues for a day and just hang out and have fun! :)
3. I had an awesome, eventful 3-day weekend... Olive Garden w/the girls, jogging, breakfasts with friends, church, Riverside picnic, celebrating Bobbi's bday, trying out the BA Los Cabos, swimming, etc.

4. All my friends are runners, so it keeps me accountable and motivates me to keep training.  And on that note, 10k this weekend w/Malori... and Laura is officially training for the Tulsa Run now, and we're going to run that together!
5. It's raining this morning. 
6. It's scarf weather again... and this one makes me think of "The Girl in the Green Scarf" from Shopaholic. ;)

7. I went to bed early last night and got some much-needed sleep.
8. I'm getting a sore throat... so I have an excuse not to run tonight. :)
9. We found a fun new coffee/gelato place downtown... hooray for Mod's!  I've also finally been to the famous Orange Leaf! :)

10. Sarah and I are becoming much closer friends!
11. Kristin got a new job that will have a far more normal schedule!  Yay God!!
12. I have Purell available at all times!!!  lol

13. Girls Night at the Utica Starbucks is becoming a tradition. Love it!!
14. My mood can be quickly changed for the better with a simple Lady Gaga song. lol
15. My family and my closest friends love me and sincerely believe in me!
