I do this in order to bite off the peely skin that is constantly shedding. Today I was out shopping with TJ and saw another guy do the same thing. I sighed and thought "phew I'm not the only one". I attribute this to winter, pregnancy and a heater vent that blows on my face at night. I'm not sure how I can possibly have so much skin to bite off constantly, you think they would bleed. I drink water and other fluids all day long. Maybe I just need to find my chapstick. Anyway, anyone else have this problem?Elizabeth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04939343648741671805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7654085018970182088.post-12091045002084418382009-10-11T10:36:00.001-07:002009-10-11T10:36:40.284-07:00for our new blog go to http://lizaconnolly.blogspot.com/ I miss you old blog!!!!!!Elizabeth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04939343648741671805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7654085018970182088.post-38848492031194749512009-04-17T14:06:00.000-07:002009-04-17T14:12:45.749-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKL7lTPsnx_CqVJ48dXld02Vve_ybDGXrx-t63rXUjvvsNL9o2yZICBioqbqyyEWeLlEiap-yYbJ16NTMJM6ZNi7B0kJrIdnpxfEzri3oMWvnSypQ747HEuIBeYOrOagFjdJZCIAvwyjSX/s1600-h/IMG_3369.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKL7lTPsnx_CqVJ48dXld02Vve_ybDGXrx-t63rXUjvvsNL9o2yZICBioqbqyyEWeLlEiap-yYbJ16NTMJM6ZNi7B0kJrIdnpxfEzri3oMWvnSypQ747HEuIBeYOrOagFjdJZCIAvwyjSX/s320/IMG_3369.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325769933432462658" border="0" /></a>Our first Easter together!!!

We went up and down the bunny hill a three times and then headed to the greens. I was worried about hurting my knees but after a while I got over-confident. Eventually I didn't turn one skii as fast as the other and flipped over my head, I was so impressed that my knees didn't get hurt that I gained a little more confidence and learned to turn my skiis appropriately. I LOVED skiing!!!! Thank you Graph's and TJ! Oh and in case you were wondering what kind of goggles TJ is wearing those would be swimming ones, but I hear TJ is a pretty mean skiier which doesn't surprise me because he is gifted in every physical and athletic way.<br />Besides that we are just working and going to school, TJ is done in 2 weeks and I graduate in one month!!!Elizabeth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04939343648741671805noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7654085018970182088.post-27123591381209272742009-02-15T21:36:00.000-08:002009-02-15T21:39:02.883-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH9OFktUe2CxQkj_Tcvhogd-PgSrs5WGBtEqz66ae0UDEJ4F9sbkgpvYpCim2qov24lkGyckjzjNYZHfkJNYQwWhlw3uSc_Re6LUdpIhzz6TufYLg5mCCaOZbs1UcqofZ2tJ7FQz_IFrUQ/s1600-h/Photo+60.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH9OFktUe2CxQkj_Tcvhogd-PgSrs5WGBtEqz66ae0UDEJ4F9sbkgpvYpCim2qov24lkGyckjzjNYZHfkJNYQwWhlw3uSc_Re6LUdpIhzz6TufYLg5mCCaOZbs1UcqofZ2tJ7FQz_IFrUQ/s320/Photo+60.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303265137191625234" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFEqohvl1LwbVk3pmRYvOO4ZhXSjJybz_NeBjaYu3vJUpCLEnYk6S_VS5dQnGhuHvDxHXSDu47Rh8Q2zD5I6FriaAZTQ3COaTWWlcReaZLbYlbJdeLnVeGpPzP0AQUHaJ6qGZUHjQ7iI_N/s1600-h/Photo+72.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFEqohvl1LwbVk3pmRYvOO4ZhXSjJybz_NeBjaYu3vJUpCLEnYk6S_VS5dQnGhuHvDxHXSDu47Rh8Q2zD5I6FriaAZTQ3COaTWWlcReaZLbYlbJdeLnVeGpPzP0AQUHaJ6qGZUHjQ7iI_N/s320/Photo+72.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303265134308522514" /></a>Oh haha, I forgot to mention that on Wednesday I chopped off 12" and donated them to Locks of Love, SURPRISE!Elizabeth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04939343648741671805noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7654085018970182088.post-53126804249077435112009-02-15T20:58:00.000-08:002009-02-15T21:31:53.531-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3CdZGez8oHNVbqDUbpEFdid5zDh9BPEhvkBn7uapfVEx5QJYijhUmAo0WhdXUG_k1z42g9yHahXj5_EenEyUquI1J1rTnoZCMr5THOpMGcH75hlYGJPCasvl6FSKL9ZK0b8gM2-Ffslni/s1600-h/IMG_3010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3CdZGez8oHNVbqDUbpEFdid5zDh9BPEhvkBn7uapfVEx5QJYijhUmAo0WhdXUG_k1z42g9yHahXj5_EenEyUquI1J1rTnoZCMr5THOpMGcH75hlYGJPCasvl6FSKL9ZK0b8gM2-Ffslni/s320/IMG_3010.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303255966445171794" /></a><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx1NAgbnhnHycxDjlG4Gp5ucoTQhKX27Y38KR5iAwIObEplqIx4V0BAwRTi0YVITnOOaKS4NUK6I42MWOXXEw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>This Valentines day, our very first together, TJ had a very special surprise for me. While on my mission I fell in love with songs by Peter Breinholt, well two of them as I was an LDS missionary I had a limited collection of music. I had no idea who he was or even his name back then. Since I served at Temple Square I was also called to serve in a second mission for 4 1/2 months, I was called to some very small towns outside of Las Vegas. During this time I stopped by an LDS bookstore, that had a really great deal on used CD's, I actually looked at Peter's and read some of the lyrics, it was an autographed copy and I was tempted to buy it, I concluded that there might be some romantic lyrics on it and that is not what you need to think about on a mission. So I put it down. Later in Colorado Springs a dear friend of mine was listening to him in her car, I was so excited because I could mainly only listen to Jack Johnson and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir when I returned from my mission. Everything else seemed really crass. She ended up buying me the CD, from then on I have found him more and more inspiring. Which leads me back to the present. Peter Breinholt was holding a fireside and I was going and nothing was going to stop me! The Sunday before the fireside, TJ and I were called to a new responsibility with the young single adults at church, which would require us to be with Steven Covey instead, also a great opportunity I might add! So we went to see Steven Covey, I was sad that the time that I would get to see an inspiration for me had passed but knew it would come again. So Valentines Eve, TJ took me to see Peter Breinholt, it was a wonderful experience! He is this skinny, kind of nerdy looking guy by most peoples standards, but he sure knows how to put on a great show! TJ and both left inspired to create music and words of our own. There were also some other artists with extremely moving music. At the end of the show, we were able to talk to him, as TJ's family is friends with him as well as one of my other favorite singers. So funny how small the world gets. During the concert I also reflected on all the past failed relationships that led me to TJ. I liked myself through all of them but am grateful for the road that has helped me grow into a much stronger person than I ever thought I could be and that has led me to the man of my dreams in a most blessed and wonderful life. Things usually turn out better than you think they will, trust me! Sometimes I have fears about my future but as President Stewart (my 3rd mission president) taught, "99% of our fears will never be realized so, KILL THE PIG (your fears) with faith".Elizabeth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04939343648741671805noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7654085018970182088.post-11355530602668353132009-01-20T10:46:00.000-08:002009-01-20T10:52:38.511-08:00Welcome TJ<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyKCk8ZLuYztfNNNK0EmxWUGqT5g0DLkndfdskFbgcuVt6cIZCZaK43RcEy36FALzS5eAvDZqX3O4-gCgnHspnHISVRnVKrkQfCSGafzR7x0bz1jLHowqm6VSR015R8swuqKq-fctNE3fk/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+091.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyKCk8ZLuYztfNNNK0EmxWUGqT5g0DLkndfdskFbgcuVt6cIZCZaK43RcEy36FALzS5eAvDZqX3O4-gCgnHspnHISVRnVKrkQfCSGafzR7x0bz1jLHowqm6VSR015R8swuqKq-fctNE3fk/s320/Christmas+2008+091.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293450749524895522" /></a><br />On the 20th of December I became Elizabeth Connolly.

I am back in school and now only working part time, so nice I don't know how I ever did it before. I'm still training for my marathon so I run a lot. I also would like to note that I won a 5k at the Greek festival last weekend, it's in the blood what can I say. All my classes seem to relate to epidemiology- the study of disease outbreak and progression etc.... I love it!

The big blue recycle bin that everyone is issued, I know in most places green means recycle but here green means trash and I am just grateful that everyone has equal opp. to recycle here. I find myself when visiting CO storing recyclable items into piles and having my mom ask me why I don't throw trash into the trash can</div><div>2. Rich church history, Brigham Young did say "This is the Place" and I support that</div><div>3. You can decide <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">which</span> temple you want to attend and they are all within 25 mins</div><div>4. The mountains are all around</div><div>5. Unique local businesses and restaurants</div><div>6. When you finally do get in the mountains they are amazing!!!</div><div>Salt Lake dislikes or things I miss from Colorado Springs</div><div>1. All the grocery stores close at 1am, what happens if I want to make a strawberry banana granola smoothie at 1 am and all I have is blueberry yoghourt, oats, and frozen mixed berries? It was good</div><div>2. You can say good-bye to the stars!</div><div>3. Living at an elevation higher than the highest mountain and having even taller ones to the west</div><div>4. I miss all my spots, Goldcamp tunnels, Garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy, Thunderbird Estates, The Broadmoor, Sonic on Jamboree, The Incline, Pikes Peak, Cheyenne Mountain, the mountains and parks off of NNNNOOOORRRTTTTHHHH Woodmen, the creepy statues, Black Forest, Roller Coaster Rd, Manitous Springs, Waldo Canyon, Woodland Park, Palmer Lake, The Punch Bowls, Grand Lake, I don't know where to stop</div><div>OK so there are more likes than dislikes and Salt Lake indeed feels like home, my goal these next 3 weeks is to find spots in Salt Lake, all though I will admit I like Donner Park, the acoustic amphitheater at the library, sledding down skii slopes, the hotel down town with the outdoor elevator, the airplanes at the landfill, Millcreek, Wasatch Blvd, the Avenues, City Creek, Temple Square, Ensign Peak, Bountiful. . . . . </div>Elizabeth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04939343648741671805noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7654085018970182088.post-6909016637941666672008-07-07T18:03:00.000-07:002008-07-07T22:02:51.308-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWJ4ix1-NkzHBrBZBlUdIhd4BUEFU4wEiYaQihaqcot8Oj3owk1Njpdki743_q6kjVsdu1O_PF4SqpDFnZPd6D1NROJwDqwt7lvOSMnXCz0nfPo-0-1EGuMG03pfWZDqvAPcclbNElfgH1/s1600-h/IMG_1512.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWJ4ix1-NkzHBrBZBlUdIhd4BUEFU4wEiYaQihaqcot8Oj3owk1Njpdki743_q6kjVsdu1O_PF4SqpDFnZPd6D1NROJwDqwt7lvOSMnXCz0nfPo-0-1EGuMG03pfWZDqvAPcclbNElfgH1/s320/IMG_1512.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220446631347065026" /></a>Presenting . . . ..

My dad is amazing and I'm pretty convinced he is actually John the Beloved one of Christ's original apostles still roaming the earth and blessing and making everything better where he <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">trods</span>. His father died when he was fairly young leaving him the eldest son. He sacrificed his life to sail around the world a captain on merchant ships to be able to send money to his family. He then ventured to the good <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ol</span></span>' USA where he went to school. He was the most sought after bachelor in my mom's Greek orthodox congregation, or so the ladies told me when we went for my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Yia</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">yia's</span></span> funeral. My father is extremely intelligent he speaks languages, navigates by the stars, builds computers, writes, and is a gospel scholar, oh and I can't neglect his passion for politics (now that Hillary's out I'm sure you're sleeping better, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">haha</span></span>). All of us kids have managed to grow up to be moral contributing adults or are at least striving to be. My father recognizes and applies the power of prayer and has taught me that by examples and stories. I am grateful that his heart was sensitive to the Holy Ghost and that my mother and him joined the church before I was born, giving me the greatest gift in my life, my relationship with my Saviour and a true knowledge of Him and His gospel. While I was in high school my father translated materials for the church into Greek and still managed to fly my sister and I out there to travel around Greece and spoil us rotten. He's continually sacrificed for me and blessed me his spoiled undeserving daughter. One day in one of my favorite parks in California, where the palm trees rise like sentinels, we were having a family picnic which included of course croquet, my oldest brother asked my dad, "did you ever think that you would be in California with English speaking children?" I like to wonder that too, when my dad was born amidst a war on an island occupied by Italian soldiers, or when he was a refugee in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Israel</span> (I stand corrected I thought it was Egypt), or following his grandfather to sing at the monastery, or watering his orange fields faster than Katina's spit dried, when he was traveling the world by sea navigating by the stars, did he ever imagine that this is where he would be today?

I returned to Colorado Springs on May 16th, 2007, on the plane I shared an Ensign with a big thug who not only referred but borrowed my pen to underline parts of the talk on the power of hymns, I was met at the airport by a van of a group that would come to Temple Square for not so holy purposes, I stood firm with my hands clenched on my Book of Mormon, the title clearly in view, and my name tag showing, with a big smile on my face. Eventually an aged version of my mother with extremely brassy hair showed up. She took me to my best childhood friends house, her father released me. We went grocery shopping my mother introduced me to a friend and before I could say Sister, she said Lizzy, I shed a tear. The summer was interesting, I rode my bike everywhere looking for jobs, initiated a hiking group, and became relief society president. It was really nice to enjoy one last summer in the Springs at home.<div><br /></div><div>I ventured out to Utah to attend school, I found where I belonged for the time being in Salt Lake City, UT. I have a wonderful job and love school and the people I meet everyday. I leave the house at 7 and return circa 7-9 every night. The social life is never-ending, sometimes a good thing, sometimes not.</div><div> </div>Elizabeth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04939343648741671805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7654085018970182088.post-30457091800415415902008-01-18T19:01:00.001-08:002008-01-18T19:02:29.049-08:00So I just figured out people are actually reading my blog, sorry about that.
