Slacking! No excuse!

Ok since we've been home from Idaho I have been a SLACKER!
We did get out on Tuesday night and go biking for 2 miles. Which was
awesome. BUT that's the only thing I have done this week! Monday
I took as a rest day, we were heading home from ID. Then last night
I was just NOT in the mood. I couldn't get myself into the mood to do
any sort of exercise. SO we resorted to going on a date. We went and
got a Pizza and drove up the foothills and had our pizza in the car and
watched the sun set while in the peace and quite. We had 6 deer just
come right by the car and mozy on by. It was cool. Then we snuggled
up on the couch for the news and Ty rubbed my feet..... It was heaven!
So I confessed. Week 2 has NOT gone as planned. But I still enjoyed it!
... So tonight after I get off work running is the first thing I will do!
Promise! :)... AND we got word today that Admission Decisions will
be made by the end of this week! SO please please please keep Ty in
your prayers that he'll get in!! Thanks!

Just keep swimming....

I feel like Dora from finding nemo, I keep repeating "just keep running, just keep running"
I need to get into more I guess. I get bored running! I do give myself a pat on the back though,
this weekend we were out of town, and I still went on! Saturday I woke up and went out for 2 miles. Then Sunday I did my "EZ 20-30 min". Then yesterday was a rest day. SO tonight I gotta get my butt to the gym or out on the street. haha. I can do it! I might have to somehow make the mp3 player work. Its just sketchy and doesn't let us create play list anymore so its random music. BUT beggars can't be choosers right? Hope everyone else had a great weekend! I was happy for Columbus Day! I got to enjoy an extra day! Thanks Columbus! :)

3 days down...

So this week has been great so far! My training is coming along!

Monday: Rest day
Tuesday: Ran over 2 miles plus a few arm work outs and a quick ab work out.
Wednesday: Cross Training Day, which I went on a 30 min bike ride.
Tonight I need to go run again!

I am proud of myself. Last night was hard cause its getting darker earlier now...so when i get home just before dark, it isn't motivation to get going on training. BUT I did it and Kenyon came on the bike ride with me. It was fun, reminded me of old times. When we were youngsters. I love my brother, I'm glad that we are still good friends to this day besides siblings. And it helps that he has a cool wife. lol :) I love you too Jeannette!

Ty went to the Dr's yesterday. The Chiropractor to be exact. He's had some bad pains in his leg and down the back and his foot goes tingly and numb at times. So he did a few tests and checked out a few things, seems to be he has a bulging disc in the lower back and that its hitting his sciatic nerve at times. When he bends and that. So Ty decided he wanted to try out what he could do. So he's going 3 times a week to do some shock treatments and also this machine that helps to slowly stretch the spine back to its normal position and help the disc go back into its correct place. Ty loved being able to be correctly adjusted and all. He said he felt really good afterwords. The Dr. said that alot of people get bulging disc cause they need to strengthen their core and also cause bad posture. So I think I will focus on those things too. haha. I'm glad Ty is getting work done to correct it, and that he already feels so good. He isn't suppose to do much lifting and stuff for a while. "light work" as the Dr. put it. He can't bend, twist or lift. haha kinda not much of anything he can do right now. But he's going to get better so that is good!

Life is going great! Were still waiting to hear back from BYU. It's so intense and annoying! lol I just want to know when and where were going in Dec. so we can start planning. Maybe I am just too much of a planning freak. But it drives me crazy not knowing what going to happen in December! But it we will find out as soon as they decide I guess. So I will keep praying for patients. :)

Well were headed to Idaho tomorrow to go visit for the weekend. I'm excited to go relax and visit. AND to keep up with my training schedule... I can do it!! :) Thank you to everyone for your encouragement! I will do this 10 k either running/jogging OR walking!! Maybe some of all! :P

Gotta change my mind set..

So the race is 8 weeks away.... I haven't been running nor even to the gym for 3 weeks now! (I know I know) So I was looking through things again and realized that a 5k is only 3.1 miles! How easy! So I called April all excited that it wasn't as long as I thought and.... well burst my bubble. It's a 10k were running! lol So I had the distance right the first time, just not the name of the race. haha. So now I am all scared. I have been trying to kick this fear and I even made myself a little training sheet to follow. Now is just implementing it and DOING it! It shouldn't been too hard, its just a mental thing right?? Here are a few quotes I found that I like!

"Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about."
-PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian

"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."
-John Bingham, running speaker and writer

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars."
-Les Brown

"Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body."
-Lynn Jennings

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
- Muhammad Ali

So now all I need to is to get an mp3 player or something. Mine broke forever ago, but I think the music will help immensely with my focus. I get so distracted while running...

Well hope everyone is doing great! We are, we are all moved and packed/unpacked and just waiting to hear from BYU. Keep Ty in your prayers please! We really are hoping he gets accepted for January! :)

Changes....

So along with the weather ATTEMPTING to change, things around the Cobb residence is too!
Were moving this week! Were setting out for an adventure! Were moving into my moms basement this week, there till end of November. And where too after that is still unknown. We are waiting to hear back if Ty got accepted for January semester still. We should hear mid October. So if he did then we'll head to Provo. If not... the world is ours to decide!


Amidst all the changes, I feel optimistic about them! We will be sharing the basement apartment with Kenyon and Jeannette. So that will be fun and a learning experience! Were use to our own place.... but we did live with Ty's parents for a little while... so it shouldn't be too big of a change!

Were hoping Ty gets in, we've been working on it for a year now. Getting the GPA up to what they want and getting his associates accomplished and what not. So were praying its up- to- par now! Ty has done amazing in school, he just keeps raising his gpa and getting even better grades. He currently sits at a 3.4 ish. BYU has crazy requirements to meet to transfer in. But were optimistic! Everything happens for a reason and one way or another you can get to the finish line!

Were still going to attend our ward in Riverton. As much as I sometimes do not enjoy teaching primary. The kids love Ty and I. One parent tells us every week how much their daughter loves us as teachers and the boys just love Ty and that he can draw cars. lol But our primary program is coming up in November. So were going to hang around till after that. But really and truly, I cant wait to be done with primary. I miss going to relief society. I enjoy it in there, and in primary each week seems like a zoo. 9 yr olds are so... unique. We have the girls who act like they are 16 already and the boys who can't seem to understand what growing up means. The ones who burp and fart and think its cool to tell everyone it was them. Then the ones who announce things like "My mom is twice as old as you" or "My dad says that I can't cross my legs because I am a boy and only girls cross their legs". It makes for good stories and things I hope and pray my kids will never do or say. But I still have a love for them I didn't think I would get.

Well enough of our boring ramblings, we'll keep you posted on BYU and all. Maybe one day we'll get a new camera and I will have some pictures to post! Oh and Ty turned the big 27 on the 22nd! He says he feels OLD and that he is 27 with no kid.... :S. 27 is not THAT old. :)

A picture tells a thousand words...

This is what I am craving at the moment...MMM. I want to make some Oreo Pudding for April!
I want to travel again, go find exciting things like this! Oil Lamp, one of the frist WHOLE peices of pottery to be found on http://beitlehifoundation.org/ !!!

And I miss all these cute faces! Plus there is more now. :) I just wish I could play Aunt ALL day long! I love spending time with them and seeing them grow and learn! I love you all!

And LAST but not LEAST...... I want a new one of these.... Ours is dead for real now. It was old anyway. But it really doesn't even turn on anymore...no matter how many new batteries you put in it... Maybe Christmas?? We'll see!!

One Year Older & Wiser Too

SO they say that its one year older and wiser too? Someone lied, I don't feel it!

It's so weird to think I am 22 years old now! CRAZY. I feel like last week I was 16. Now I am 22. Not only am I 22, but as of August 7th, Ty and I have been married for TWO wonderful years! That's even Crazy to think of! So much has happened in the last 5 years of my life, its been amazing. So many 1st and so many life lessons. I wouldn't trade any of them for anything.
Not all have been what I may of wanted but it's the lords plan. So I am grateful that I have been able to use them as "stepping stones" rather than "stumbling blocks" as we teach our primary kids. :D I hope everyone else has had a great month so far as I have!

Thank you again Honey for the amazing weekend and for all the time you spend serving me!
I love you with all my heart!
