Jeff and Kallie

He discovered the American Continent and the New World, but perhaps even greater than that, he gave me and other workers across the United States a day off yesterday!

There are so many things that I would love to do every day....but I just don't have time. Yesterday I had the day off, thanks to my Spanish friend, and I got to do lots of things I never have time for. I started by getting our apartment clean and doing the laundry. Then I went to the gym...something I haven't done since...May or June. After that I went to the grocery store. I haven't been really grocery shopping for a long time. We stop at the store for things when we need them because once the 7am-7pm day is over, I just don't feel like going anywhere...not even to the grocery store. :) I spent the early afternoon making a big pot of chili in the crock pot...fall is a good time for chili, but it needs time to get good...time I don't usually have. At 3 I picked Jeff up from campus and we went to Orem to babysit Riley and Gentry for a few hours. It was an absolutely blissful day.

I'm so thankful for a day to get caught up and spend some time by myself...doing things that I love to do. Now that I look at the day, it doesn't seem like much, but it sure meant the world to me to be able to do whatever I wanted with the day! So once again, here's to Christopher Columbus and the wonderful day I got because of him!
