What is going down this month with Amy

Like how I try to use slang in the title when I am so not that hip, but hey it felt right. So this month has been a great one. Where to start, well one change is I am losing weight again at a crazy pace. So far in two months I have lost 17lbs!!! I am doing a Boot Camp class that is kicking my trash but so worth it. I am mostly losing inches though. I have lost 3 inches off my hips and waist in a month!!! Also I am trying to run and beginning to like it. I had to stop for three weeks because of my old injury in my knee from chasing my sister with the hose, (I fractured my knee, lesson of never seeking revenge after your sister throws water in your face), I kinked it but now getting on track again. I just have to wrap it while running. So that is my physical goals that are coming along quite nicely.
Other things well I am going to start doing is some genealogy of my ancestors and start getting their Temple work done. I mean I go to the temple every week, might as well do my own family. I have a start from what some other family members have done, but mostly the men have had their work done, so there are about 40 women I have to do and I am very excited to get it started, but now I have to find more. I can feel that they are waiting and anxious. I just have to learn how to do that. I am good at pretending at knowing what I am doing, but I don't think that is going to serve me well.
This month I have taken a break from all the religious books I have been reading, which I have loved and learned from, but I need to just read something different for a while. I mean the Lord created so much more in this world than just the Gospel. The Gospel is the most important, but there is so much more that came from him and I am learning as much as i can. I am reading Sophia Tolstoya's journal. I love history and people in history. I love Leo Tolstoy's books but finding out what kind of man he was to his wife and kids makes me not like him all too much and think he was actually a jerk. I know that I am reading just her side of the story and I need to read more about him before truly making an informed decision on the matter ( I say this in a joking manner. I am not taking it that seriously). I also can see how he got annoyed with her too. She was very dramatic. I know I have had my drama moments, I wont deny, but nothing like her. I mean she was the same immature at 60 as she was at 18. I feel I have matured a lot in these last 3 years. Anyways that is my opinion so far. Plus I am so grateful to be born at this time. If I was born in those days I would have been so screwed because of my opinions and personality. I am only half screwed now, so that is a step up and the positive on my unique mind.
Well that is really all that is going down with me right now. I hope everyone else is having an amazing life like me. I am truly blessed and so happy. I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for all that He gives me. Since I have made the Gospel one of my main priorities in my life I have never been happier. Life is wonderful.
