Ok so back to yesterday being... well I would call it perfect :) the day started normally with classes and I was just in the best mood! I get so much out of my classes and everything I learn continues to amaze me.
After classes and working on homework I worked for both of my jobs. I'm so grateful for my jobs, yes some days they are hectic and stressful and sometimes it feels unfair for me to have to work so hard to earn money while I'm doing school too, but I feel so accomplished everyday that I work my hardest. So working yesterday definitely added to my good mood :)
So after that, my roommate Kelsey and I decided to go for a run outside!! I absolutely love running outside! Especially with Kelsey because she pushes me to run faster and farther :)
Following running we were very hungry, so Kelsey and I made and ate dinner together :) we had pigs in a blanket and tater tots :) haha so good! Then we had fun listening to our ipods and making a pumpkin torte together! Random I know, but it sure smells wonderful!!
Keep in mind that this was some point after ten :) ok so Kelsey and I have been wanting to go hiking for awhile now before the weather gets really bad, so we made plans with some friends to go hiking to the hot springs in spanish fork! after getting ready and making plans we finally left to go hiking around midnight :) the hike was two miles long to get to the hot springs and the trail was often covered in snow or ice which made walking difficult, yet hilarious! :) haha we had many spills and laughs! The moon was full so it was pretty light outside and everything looked gorgeous covered in snow! Such pretty trees and mountains and the trail followed along side a river :) I can't even describe how amazing it was!
The hot springs felt wonderful after hiking in 13 degree weather! We stayed in them for awhile just sharing stories and enjoying the water :) then we all changed into some warm clothes and headed back! Kelsey and I were laughing so hard because our hair that we got wet in the hot springs had turned into icicles when we got out of the water!!
We hiked back to our cars and realized that it was now five in the morning so we decided to get breakfast at Dennys :) The food was so good after being so cold and hiking for so long!! I really wish I had pictures of this adventure to show you, maybe I will get some from my roommate...
I finally went to bed at 7 in the morning after showering so I wouldn't smell like sulfur anymore! haha so today I'm going off of two hours of sleep and being extremely sore, but it was so worth it :)
Yesterday really was perfect :) I was able to make some great memories while still keeping up on school and work. I'm so blessed to be able to enjoy life while the stress of finals is approaching, and yesterday was just a reminder of how crazy and wonderful life can be :)
Life is good.
Hey Karina! I love your post. Madeline, Eric Davis, his brother Tyler, a bunch of their friends, and I went to those hotsprings. They were wonderful- but we didnt have quite an enjoyable experience you did...story for a later day :) but i completely agree with you. Life has been amazing since Thanksgiving Break. Madeline and I were just talking about that today- hopefully it stays likes this thru finals! Either way, I'm happy you are doing well, have a blog spot that I can keep up with you, and I miss you so much and we only live a few minutes from eachother!!!!
