Epic Weekend: Bryce, Chuck, and Three Little Nuns

At long last I went to visit the land of red rocks and warmth.  I didn't even have to scrape ice off my car the entire time I was there-- it was great. Thursday afternoon I decided I didn't care if I was broke on all fronts, so I just ended up taking off for the weekend and seeing who was there.  I was pleasantly surprised by the number of friends I got to see or spend time with.  I spent the entire weekend visiting Bryce, chatting with three little nuns, and watching Chuck.  It was an epic weekend.
On my random adventures I saw many interesting things.  In Fillmore I saw a big bear, and what I think is a buck deer.  There was a sign that said not to climb on them sadly enough.



Although exhausting, this trip completely recharged me, I went from feeling like I was 90 to only 60.
But back to the positive side, Bryce Canyon was AMAZING! It wasn't even cold up there, perfect hiking weather.  I think that spur of the moment trips seem to agree with me rather.

Things I am Grateful for

It's strange how lately I find myself loving things I used to rather dislike on various levels for various reasons.  Social media being a good example here.  However, I am now finding that things I used to have mixed feelings about for whatever reason I now am grateful I have, or some of these things I just liked to begin with in all honesty.  Like sleep. I have always like sleep, just not to the excess I have been doing it in recent weeks.

-Sleep
-new pajamas
-movies
-Jamba Juice
-old roommates
-texting
-free phone upgrades
-social media (yes, believe it or not the day has come when I am promoting social media! I can type instead   of talk, which is much easier lately, and keep in touch with people who live far away who I don't see on an ongoing basis)
-gift cards that I can get movies and crafts with to keep me occupied
-ice packs for achy joins and muscles
-asprin
-ice cream
