it's february! holy moly. and i'll just say it's been a glorious february so far. the weather is so wonderful, i can't even complain about winter right now.
life is good you guys.

i started my new job on january 12th, and it has been great. a lot of training and learning, and still a lot more to come, but it's SUCH a better environment, better pay, closer to my apartment, the people are fantastic, i get spiritually uplifted at work, and hello...people were not kidding when they said BYU benefits are great. they are so great.

i've felt so especially grateful the past few weeks as i settle into my new role in a new job and learn all of the things that come with it. getting laid off was such a blessing. a major blessing. i was able to have time off for christmas to spend with family and then was able to start my new job shortly after the new year.
people aren't kidding when they say the lord works in mysterious ways. i can so clearly see now how the lord has a plan for us. he knows what's in store and what's coming, and even more so...what we need. he knows what i need, more than i know myself. and this new job has become a blessing in so many ways.

in other news, life is still great. matt and i hit four months of marriage the other day {hahaha...soooo long, right?} and celebrated a year since our first day, the day after.
i'll be mushy for only a moment and say how much i love being married to this husband of mine. he really is the best! i love that life is just so normal with him. he makes me so so happy.
.
he's currently getting back in the saddle and starting to train for a cycling race in CO in july.
it's called the triple bypass and looks horrible to me! seriously though. they're riding at high elevations and going up and over 3 very large peaks. no thanks :)
i am training for another half marathon.
this one will be with a couple of my favorite people in june. i can't wait for stephanie and kim to get here and enjoy the higher elevation running with me! it's going to be great!
.
and i'm hoping things are looking like this again for me by the time this race rolls around.
{seriously though, dating and wedding planning and marriage have affected my waistline ;)}

this half is going to rock.
I hear you, sister! When I look back at when I was offered the job I have now...the timing of everything was SO PERFECT! I'm SO thankful that I had a few weeks of being laid off when I did (aka when my life was totally falling apart), and I'm so happy I started when I did, because it gave me something else to focus on & occupy my brain power with, which I REALLY needed. Getting laid off was the best thing that could have happened, and happened at the best possible moment. Even if right at the moment it seemed like everything was happening at once and was really crappy, which, let's face it. It was! But I agree, God's timing is perfect and it's incredible the blessings I've gotten recently! :)
