Alright... here's my annual proclamation of what I want to do this year and maybe this year I will actually accomplish it... I have a  few New  Year's Resolution.  However, since I was in Idaho for Christmas and then went to Florida for the first week of January for the Ragnar Relay, Florida Keys, I decided to start my goals after I got home.  So... I officially started on Monday. Right now, I

23.  I'm Thankful for ...... Passing Classes.  A year and a half ago, I randomly (yes... randomly) decided to go back to school for my MBA.  Sometimes, I'm still not sure why but I know that it's going to benefit me.  I have 3 sessions left of my this semester (which translates into 12 hours of classroom attendance).  I have successfully completed 4 out of my 6 semesters.  I'm also thankful that

22.  I'm Thankful for ...... Thanksgiving Dinner(s).  Yes... I realize Thanksgiving isn't for 2 more days, but I've already had 2 dinners and still excited for Thursday.  I think this is one of my favorite days of the year.  The family traditions is going to be different this year but looking forward to it just as much as always.

21. I'm Thankful for ...... My Parent's and All They Do for Me.  I don't even know what to say here but my parents are great examples of how to live the gospel, doing service, being understanding, and keeping track of all of their kids.  They are awesome grandparents.  And... my mom is great cook (My dad can cook too but at a different level to my mom.) 20. I'm Thankful for ...... Decorating

15.  I'm Thankful for ...... My Brothers.  They are funny, smart, and most of them are great dads.  They are great friends to me and have been able to really demonstrate the importance of good character and being yourself.  They have also shown that chivalry is not dead. 14. I'm Thankful for ...... My Sisters.  They are all good examples of faith, being stalwart, and service.  If I could grow

5.  I'm Thankful for ...... Roadside Assistance.  I'm thankful that USAA is open 24 hours a day so I can get someone to change my tire at 5:30 am and get me to the airport.  Even though I had to reschedule my flight and day, at least I wasn't stranded and made it to North Carolina. 4.  I'm Thankful for ......

3. I'm thankful for ....... the Fall and boots.  I'm thankful for this Fall weather. I love being able to layer my clothing in a way that makes sense for the weather.  I'm thankful for boots; I'd wear them everyday but I try to limit myself... a little bit at least.  I'm thankful for the changing of the leaves and the cool nights where you have to bundle up in a blanket, yet nice, crisp days.

It seems that every November, Facebook is saturated with people being thankful for things.  I've decided to take a lesson from them and do my own 30-days of Thanksfulness... So, here I go... 2.  I'm thankful for ....... health care and medicine.  These areas have given my dad a career that he is great out, it has provided me with a bachelor's and master's degree.  It has given me several jobs.

Another year has come and gone and it finished in a fantastic way!!!! For the past month or so, I knew my birthday was coming.  Really... who forgets something like that.  I knew I had scheduled a class on Thursday but definitely didn't want to go to class that day, so in an effort to keep my day open, I went on Tuesday night. Now... for the past few weeks I have this friend (Josh) that kept

I'm looking for a new job.  Don't tell anyone!!!!  For the rest you... if you know of anyone or anything, send it my way....

This past weekend was a good one.  Orginally, I was supposed to go out of town with some friends.  But due to several reasons, I decided it wasn't a good idea, so I stayed home.  It turned out to be a really good weekend.  I know that I don't usually report on my weekend, but this one was just a weekend that I needed.  I was able to be be productive, relax, and enjoy spending time with some of my

I found an entry similar to this on a blog that I'm following. I guess I should add that to this this... that I follow blogs of runners, even if I don't know them. So, I decided to post something similar. I got this list off of this running website.  I took off my favorites (aka ones that relate to me).  I've bolded the ones that I've actually said/thought recently... You know you're a runner

Time for an update... It's been awhile. During the past few months a lot of unexpected things have happened to me. Last fall, I thought, I have a great house, living alone (which I thought was great), finding a program that I was actually enjoying, had a job that I liked. Fast forward a few months... I had a great friend that moved in with me. I was so excited. While loving living alone,

So... the running is done.  I went to DC last weekend and finished my third and possibly last marathon (Pictures to come).  The weekend went really fast but it was good.  The marathon was amazing.  I got up and wasn't the least bit nervous.  I'm not just saying that... it's true.  Typically before any race I get pre-jitters and nerves and anxiety and stuff.  I woke up before the race and was

I am freaking out... There are 6 days to go until I am doing my race in Washington DC. I fly out in 5 days. I have printed off my Confirmation Card, my Flight Plans, my metro directions, and many other items to make it through the weekend in the best way. I am now making my packing list. I'm not ready yet but I'm getting close. During the last two weeks I was getting very concerned. I got this

For those of you who are actually reading my blog... I've recently set some lofty goals. Because of this, I had to scale back on a few things. I am not doing P90X... that will be saved for .... later... when there's time... maybe 2018. However, I am doing well on the school part (super busy but still excited about it) and the no snacks/treats part. I'm at 3 weeks and 2 days and still no snacks (

Countdowns: Ute Football:  17 days until kickoff (too bad I have to miss that game, so 24 days until I step feet into Rice-Eccles Stadium in a lovely shade of red. PMBA:  4 classes (10 days) until my first PMBA class is complete. MCM: 75 days until the Marine Corps Marathon. Christmas: 130 Days until Christmas and the first annual (or maybe just first and only) Fisher 5K Wasatch Back/Ragnar

Quick question???? When you invite someone over for dinner, who's doing who a favor?  Interesting conversation I had tonight though....  I call you and invite you to dinner and this might become a semi-regular invite (along with some other friends), but you only take up the invite occasionally because you don't want to wear out your welcome.  So, who's doing who a favor?

I've been using this blog to make annoucements when I set goals.  This is my way to be accountable to a few friends and get the friendly reminder of how I'm doing.  So, right here, right now, I'm going to let you know that starting tomorrow, I have 90 days to complete my training, to complete P90X, and to take a break from sugar.  So... by Halloween, I should feel pretty healthy. Tonight, I

Marathon Training Update So... last week I was supposed to go running 4 times.  I made it twice.  Well... at lest that's a start.  I ran on Tuesday and Thursday.  This week will be better.  Tomorrow morning, I am doing my Saturday run of 5 miles in the morning and then back on schedule. So... Week 2... Here's my schedule. Monday: 5 Miles (AM) Tuesday: 3 Miles Wednesday: 4 Miles Thursday: 3

There is 110 days until Halloween. ...  And since I love to dress up, go to costume parties, haunted houses, etc., I've already planned my weekend.  Yes that's right....  I'm getting out of town... In 110 days, I'm going to be in Washington DC.... Which means... there are 110 days until I ran my next marathon. I'm so excited to do this race. It's in Washington DC, it runs past all the

It's been almost one year since I graduated from the University of Utah with my Master's Degree.  My family was able to attend that graduation and my sister, Sherrie, brought her 3 kids.  They knew the University of Utah likes the color red, so they all dressed themselves and wore red to my graduation (see Cory in the picture next to me). Canyon is very observant and always wants to do the right

I'm not sure what's gotten into me lately but apparently I want to expand my skills and so forth.  This weekend, I decided to figure out how to start making cakes.  I have a long ways to go with this but eventually I'd like to make some extravagant wedding cake or something but I need to start somewhere.  In addition to that, this weekend the NBA Playoffs started and the Jazz are playing the

I had a good friend that decided he was willing to mow my lawn yesterday.  So, while he was mowing, I decided to run to Home Depot and buy a couple of rakes so that I could help him out.  While there, I got side tracked and ended up buying a bunch of seeds and a kit to grow a herb garden. So... guess what I'm doing this summer....  Hopefully, by the end of the summer I'll actually have

I can't find my bucket list so I recreated one.  If you want to see it, it's on my blog.  However... I need some more suggestions.  What do you think I should add to it?  What should I do before I DIE!!!!!  I need something like 35 more items....

Welcome to my Office!!! All I can say is… it really stinks where I sit, literally. I sit right outside of the all of this: the breakroom, the copy room, the stairs, the printers, and the water cooler. I know… you’re thinking… that’s convenient… but it’s not. I get to smell everything people are having for breakfast, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, early dinners, and whatever else they feel

I've had some conversations with people on what I'm looking for, and have been accused of being picky... But really... can't I expect a little more than okay with who I get.  They need to be good enough... but come on... I want a little more (not much... but a little more). Do you remember how when you were like 14 and had to make a list of all the qualities that you wanted?  That's what I did

My name is Christi Fisher... and I'm a cooking addict. This year I decided it was time to really start trying some new recipes.  I think I've gone overboard but lucky you if you get to be the guinea pigs who tries out my recipes.  Most have been successes but there are a few that I wish I could do over... (Sorry everyone... next time I won't use a jar of pepper like the recipe called for.)

It's 1:52 AM... It's getting to be a regular routine of not being able to go to sleep on the Sunday nights.  So... I'm being productive.  I'm going to make Wendy proud (she's the cute girl in the pink up above). I love Sundays, and in particular Sunday nights and dinner at my house.  A few weeks ago, I decided to introduce Low Country Boil to a few of my closest friends.  It's fantastic!!!!

So... I figured there wasn't enough going on at Christmastime that I decided that I needed to move as well.  So... I packed up my 400 square foot bedroom, in my 4800 square foot house and moved into a 1100 square foot place.  I'm not fitting very well but it will come. I'm excited to make a change but really apprehensive at the same time.  I decided it was time to make some big changes in my

So… it’s time to set some new year’s resolutions. I set some last year I’m sure but have no idea where I put them. But… if you look down my blog… in 2008 and I set some goals. I set 12 goals… I accomplished 2 of them. Let’s see if I can do better this year. This year, I’m already working on 32 goals that I made back in September. The resolutions I make right now, are going to help me meet

So... long drives in traffic is not good for the mind... or is it?  I had this epiphany last night and shared it with a couple of friends today.  I have a game I want to play.  It's a simple game and I'm calling it 30 Dates in 30 Days.  So... how it works is, I'm going to go on 30 dates in 30 days.  I don't even think I know that many guys (well, maybe I do) but not 30 that are active daters.

It's a new year for me and it's time to reevaluate my life. I've decided to set a goal for each year that I've lived my life that I'm going to work on for the next 365 days. It started on September 15, 2009 and will conclude (successfully) on September 14, 2010, at midnight. There have been changes that I've been trying to make in my life for the past few years. It's time to stop procrastinating

Who's says weddings have to be boring? I know that this probably wouldn't work in the temple but I'm going to figure out how to copy it. I just hope I don't end up marrying someone boring....

So... It's been over 4 years and I am finally cutting the strings.A lot has happened during the past four years and it's been a great learning time. I have learned a lot about me and a lot about people I have come in contact with. It's been a growing time for me and a chance for me to really figure out who I really am and what I'm doing.During these past years, technology has given us the

I'm not sure when it hit but it hit me hard... It's a sickness that seems to hit people at different times in their life, and some people harder than others. Some unfortunate souls be lucky enough to be immune from this sickness. During the past couple of years, I have discovered that I have acquired this disease and I think it's getting worse. I have been self-diagnosed with the travel bug.Let

So... not to long ago, my bishop told us that he believes that it takes 40 days to gain a habit (or lose one). So, I decided to try this challenge. Well... actually... I hadn't quite decided it was going to be 40 days but I had to make some changes and was planning on a month but if i can do a month, why not 40 days. So, here to goes nothing... I am going to set some goals right here, right now..

So... I did it... I earned another piece of paper. This one cost a few more dollars than the first 3 and it was a little more stressful but I made it. I thought that during the past 3.5 years that I've been working on it, not much have changed in my life. But I think I might have been wrong... I started the program in January 2006... Since then, I have ...... moved... let's see... 1, 2, 3, ... 4

So there is nothing like being as lazy as when you are at your parent's house for Christmas. Somehow we all revert to the days when we were younger of sleeping in, staying in pajamas, and playing games all day. This year there has consisted of Dr. Mario, Wii Fit, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Ticket to Ride pretty much from sun up (and by sun up I mean 10 or 11 in the morning) to whenever we

So I was recently reading a friend's blog and liked this idea so I thought I would copy it and add it to mine...The things listed in bold are what I have done... Still have a ways to go...1. Touched an iceberg 2. Slept under the stars 3. Been a part of a hockey fight 4. Changed a baby's diaper 5. Watched a meteor shower 6. Given more than you can afford to charity 7. Swam with wild dolphins 8.

Today was an incredible day. Today was the day when we had the honor to pay tribute to my dear grandmother (Realla Jane Johnson Fisher). My grandmother is an incredible woman and lived a great and fulfilling life. She was born on February 25, 1925 and passed away at home with my grandfather close by on April 27, 2008. This passing is a chance for her to continue to serve and to do the things that

So... yesterday I experienced something I hope I don't have to experience very often. Mom and dad were in town and all of us decided to to get together for the weekend. We watched conference (okay... watched, slept, played yahtzee, knitted, etc.) and then just spent some time together.I decided that it was time for me to go home and get some stuff done at home. I took my usual route home and was

So, last year I decided that I don't want to make new year's resolutions any more. People break resolution and once you break it, you're done... it's over... you failed. So, I decided to make new year goals instead. With golas you get to have forgiveness and you get to start over if you mess up one day. This year I decided to do the same. So, that said... the following are my new year goals for

Okay, so I've been getting lots of blog pages from people and have enjoyed reading their pages. It amazes me how well people write and how creative people are regardless of how they view themself. I have put of doing a blog page because .... hmmm ... no real good excuses.... Just haven't done it. Well, now I've jumped on that bandwagon and have now joined the blogging world. I guess this is a
