haha... of course the day i come in at 10am, way later than usual, i run into sam in the athletic office! busted :) good thing he's still "taking time off" or else i could have gotten in trouble! nothing like a visit from sam these days to keep me on my toes.

raise the bar...
sometimes while i'm doing cardio i'll listen to "stories from general conference". it's these podcasts from lds.org and there are certain topics with a bunch of the stories told at past conferences. today i was listening to "perseverance" (shocker, huh?!) and there was a story shared by L. Tom Perry about his son preparing to compete as a high jumper. long story short, we just can't go through life jumping over a low bar just because we don't want to miss.
"If you don't raise the bar, how will you ever know your potential? Keep raising the bar to become the best."
a lot of the stories talked about how we have to leave our comfort zones and push ourselves to see just how far we can go. so not only is that the theme for missionaries today, but i definitely need to apply it to my life, and raise the bar, and see just how high i can jump.
no sacrifice, no victory...
yes for the movie gurus, this is from transformers... love that movie! someone had this quote as a sticker on their car today, and i found it rather motivating. in order to have a victory, you have to earn it and make the necessary sacrifices to get it... pretty self explanitory and easier said than done, but i'm a fan. and, i love pulling random quotes out of movies that can actually apply to life. it helps me feel that watching movies isn's such a waste of time :)
truth or dare...
well my sister malia, i took your dare and asked mr. law school to watch night at the museum 2 with me... and guess what he said... "yeah, let's do it. does saturday night work for you?" thanks for the encouragement sister, i wouldn't have been so bold without you! ha, i've already put "raising the bar" and "no sacrifice, no victory" into action! looks like my work here is done! but seriously, thanks for the little push.
"some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns. i am thankful that thorns have roses."
13 days til little brother is home!
