Yes, I am back to my blog! I was going to do a post first but I decided to reply back to all the lovely comments that I have received! I know some have been a while back that some posted and I am sorry I am just getting back to you now but I am really thankful for all the lovely comments. I read everyone and responded back to every one. So yaay, for that being done! =)
On another note, I know there was no Friday's 'Girl Run that Show' for you all. I didn't have a enough time last week to get it in with everything that was jam packed into my schedule before I had to leave. I am sorry again for not having it! This Friday there shall be a post up! :D I wanted to throw up a few photos from my little vacation away for the four days that I left. I went to British Columbia for those who are wondering and the weather was hot hot.. in Radium Hot Springs, which we stayed 15mins away in Invermere which was also hot hot as well! Did a lot of traveling around and seeing things along with trying to relax but didn't really seem to be the case. My sleeps weren't that great with the interruptions at night from outside and sleeping in didn't happen at all. I was always up early so 7 am Alberta time but B.C. is an hour behind so 5 am or 6 am I would be up at. I think this is enough chatting and enjoy the photos.
I know it's super late almost midnight in 17 minutes, but I wanted to come on here to post a few little pictures from my day!! I went to the fair today and walked around and ate fooood! Best time of year to stuff your face with fried, greasy, crispy yummy not really good for you food! I had done so much walking today I got there at 4pm and left at 10:45pm. I was done, so tired... you know your old when you can't even stick it out until the fireworks come on. Any who other than that; I hope you all had a lovely day! Oh and my ice cream was super HUGE !! I was not expecting that at all.. it was so delicious though!
I got another questionnaire for you guys again today and it is another very short and quick one to learning about me more. I got this one from Marielle. Enjoy. =)
1. One life goal? to make a difference in someones life or inspire someone.
2. How do you make it through a bad day? I usually pop in a movie, a comedy.. something to make me laugh and uplift my mood! Usually works like a charm! However, sometimes.. music, reading or simply just talking to someone close. Some times just going to sleep if a possibility but very rare.
3. What would you do with a million dollars? I would travel and also give some to my parents. I would also want to help in some way that I can (like a random act of kindness) that isn't suspected. Just a genuine gift from the heart.
4. One weird fact about yourself? I have random moments that I am super happy, giggly, and crazy! And everyone is like holy.. omg you are so hyper. It's super random spurts that just happens. (Doesn't sound too weird but it definitely is if you are in the presence.
5. One song that makes you happy?
Luke Bryan - Drunk On You & Kip Moore - Hey Pretty Girl (I couldn't just put one.)
First off, did you guys watch The Bachelorette yesterday?? I did and omg... Jef!!! (i think my exclamation marks explain it all in that he was my favorite from day one, the very beginning!) On to today's post..
So I decided from last week that I wanted to make this week all about getting to know me the blogger behind this blog. I have come across different questions and thought I would answer those to get to know me better. I know some are short, long and in between but that will give some variety. For today's post I decided to do a small questionnaire for you guys. I thought starting off with something light will be a great way to start off a Monday. Here I go.. and this was taken from Kate.
FIVE SIMPLE QUESTIONS
Hometown : Alberta, Canada
Current location : Alberta Canada
1. Tell me your ideal morning? Sleeping in until 9 or 10 am. Then getting up having breakfast, relax and just chilling out doing whatever i want and have an adventure. You know those ones where you don't plan anything and great things happen. The weather is just perfect, not too cold and not too hot.
2. Why are you living in your "current location"? I was born and raised here, went to school here and everything. Also my family is here and I don't have a reason to move at the moment to be honest.
3. Without ________ there is no _______ (fill in the blanks) Without suffering there is no compassion.
4. What is the most admirable human characteristic? empathy
5. Describe the last thing you ate in three words? lemon chicken, yum!
All the above describes my emotions inside at this moment and time. I was not planning on this post at all, but at the same time I guess it will be a good opener to this weeks plans I had in store for my blog that I keep pushing back.But back on track here.. I do not know what is going on anymore right at this point and time in my life. I feel like all these great things are or were happening to me and all of a sudden with these great things are coming an overwhelming feeling of stress and a breaking point. You know those breaking points when you are at your limit and all you want to do is cry? Yeah I am at that point.. and I feel kind of lost, but also at a loss of complaining. All I can picture is utter annoyance.. enough is enough! So this is my second last resource to pursue to my advantage or even disadvantage. What? This probably does not even make sense to pursue even at all.. but here I am doing it. And everything that comes out into this post is not scheduled, perfected or aimed to please.. its everything that my precious little heart is with holding in and every line in this is unscripted, imperfect and purely raw to the deepest root that is possible. A sense of sensor perhaps to a tiny degree because the evident defined details kept sealed within this hard time isn't needed since everything else that comes out will define the thoughts pouring out.
All these feelings, emotions and feeling of being lost or twenty steps behind is becoming more evident at this time. I think the feeling of being twenty steps behind was even more evident today then anything. It was as clear as a white daisy. I remember the last time I felt like this was a couple of years ago and I could not understand any of it for the life of me. I did not understand anything that people were saying but eventually I figured it out and it totally made sense. However, this time only one part makes sense and everything else is just a big mess, a complete and utter disastrous mess. It has nothing to do with hate at all of anybody or resentment or anger (side-note : like in the past). Just more stressed, frustrated and at a loss, which are the best words that I can use to describe. Of course I have the most amazing people in my life who support me and would want to hear me out but sometimes I feel a little too much is a little too much and I have to stop myself. (side note : like tonight, i had to let go, stop because it seemed to be getting too much. Even though they may not think that or feel that I do for them.) I feel like I have to stop myself because nobody wants to hear heart breaking stuff all the time or period. And of course though sometimes when it is held in for such a long time and is finally shared you realize that they could have helped or would be willing to hear. You know that saying "why didn't you call me line?" yeah I can in a way imagine that, no I can hear it in the back of my mind but it is not their place. It is not their responsibility. I get that is what friends are for and why we have friends but some things are a little too much for the heart to handle to pour out. However, sometimes it is those raw and vulnerable moments that will spring upon a surprise if willing to take that risk or sometimes your pretty little soul knows better than your mind in a state like this.
It's not even those things or moments where you have so much built up you explode on people and most cases the wrong people. It is more so a clear light of realizations and what am I doing really? I am a fool within my own self and my own words and thoughts. The realities and the dreams don't correlate at all, which should not be such a surprise to me at all. However, sitting here thinking about every line stringed together from others totally makes sense within myself now and in a way it is kind of sad. It is sad, because in some twisted way maybe they are completely right and I am so utterly stubbornly wrong. Perhaps, I am just being brutally hard on myself.. but I couldn't exactly tell you that part. However, I am sure everyone else could answer that question for you of me. . that I am sure. My inner thoughts and inner self was in complete thoughts and reminisce yesterday well every word that sinks into my head like rubble came swimming through. Along with every word, was also every experience which at the time may have seemed bad, toxic, unfair, disrespectful, fun, happy, sad.. ecetera. Mash up all those moments and experiences and the mind pin points certain ones from a distinct process and pins those to stick out more than any other moments swinging through (another side-note : my mind has already filtered all the most negative things possible at this point right now.)
Time to move on down this stream line.. I totally get the concept of being tookind that's my default within me I know it, everyone else knows it and even my family knows it. I think it is also partially because of the cards I got dealt in this life but also because I know what it's like to fend for yourself and obtain everything on your own all the time. I get it "it makes you stronger" but how much longer can one be that (stronger)? Can one hold that down all the time and not just for your own forsaken self but also for others? There is only so much of being strong and holding it together one can take or be, eventually you break at some point. When people realize or think that you can handle things yourself, because they view you as strong or having it altogether, so you don't need help compared to the next person which is untrue to a degree. Sometimes having to be so strong makes you shield away your weaknesses or need of help, perhaps not even that but it just may seem oh she manages to do everything else and handles it fine, she'll figure it out. Someone could be the happiest or look like they have it altogether, yet they are falling apart inside. Oh like this quote "Be kind foreveryone you meet is fighting a hard battle." Why am I mentioning this at all? How does this relate? It relates into the fact that I hear it all the time.. How I have it all together, risk taker, strong, confident or even jealous about something of me .. ect. (Perhaps though also I have always and always am there for people, whether it is just to listen or give advice. But how is it that your advice for others doesn't do the same justice for yourself?) But really I do not feel how they describe inside. I feel more so like this : twenty steps behind in every aspect of life and I get it (do you really?) my life is not somebody else's life. My journey is not theirs and their journey is not mine and things happen the way they are suppose to for the reason they are suppose to and its all in how the grand scheme of things is suppose to work out to get you to your final destination or not even final destination but on point.
For me this journey is hard it seems and I guess its suppose to be for some so that you appreciate the grand of things when they come your way. The quote that rings across my mind as I type this is the following "God doesn't put you through more than you can handle" I know that is not the exact quote on quote but it's around the towns. What it really is is this when it comes to trials and tribulations if reading from the bible.."Count it all joy when you fall into various trials" - James 1:2 (Joy? / Of all things why would I be full of joy you may ask? But if you focus on that word joy it explains it all.. because in times of trials we are able to find joy.) I completely get the WHY ME??? aspect of it all.. it's usually the first thing that comes to your head. In the bible God says.. We will not be asked to endure more than what we can handle. If we are going through it, then we will be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 - "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." We all want an escape from things, from life.. from basically anything and everything that eats us up inside and out of everything one could possible use to escape these problems God wants you to PRAY like this verse says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7God lets this happen through his word. As mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 2:13 - "And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe." In the depths of this all you are probably wondering how God will guard your heart.. and these two verses tell you how : "The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him." - Habakkuk 2:20 and Romans 8:28 - "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose"Life is not always rainbows and butterflies. Life consists of more from sad, happy, angry and so forth which the following tells you"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace." With these trials we go through produce patience, patience in which God said in James 1:2-3 - "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." However this next verse probably explains better while everything that is happening is frustrating and stressful and a repeat because the lack of patience but also from the simple act of not learning the first time the lesson that had to be learn and with that leads to this bible verse.. "Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." - James 1:4-5 By asking God you must also believe because without belief you will not receive as noted in James 1:6-8 "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do." If you look at the whole big picture ultimately my problems are small compared to that of others and 2 Corinthians 4:17 says "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us eternal glory that far outweighs them all."
In the end of things we need to do seek God .. "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" - Matthew 6:33 because the end result rewards us with James 1:12 "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him"
My ending thought processed ended up with the bible, not on purpose or intentionally but by designed faith I was meant to come across all this to conclude everything swallowing inside of me. And this is definitely a first on here for my blog.. but I think it was needed along with maybe it may help someone or call out to someone other than myself at this time.
Thank you for those who stayed and read the following.. your heart is full of beauty like the suns warm rays.
I feel like this Friday was fast for some reason, but then again maybe I feel that because you know when you are in your own thoughts or emotions and everything else is passing you by? Well I felt like that yesterday well out and I wanted to leave so badly and be home in my room but at the same time it was nice to get out, yet it felt I was way in over my head. I am just going to get into this post for you all, so enjoy! Yaaay, for a early post this Friday!!
1. So much has happened this week, first off I got to do a job by myself for the very first time at work on Tuesday! I was not really expecting it at all; I was kind of figuring that I would be called for help but nope, it was all on me and I got it completed in an hour and a half! Yaaay, for me because I was panicking that I would not finish the job in a decent amount of time. Another person had the same job I was given and it took them 3 hours, which nobody understands, not even my own self! I am proud of myself for sure, for completing that task and will now be part of my regular duty to complete at work every time that it is needed.
2. I believe it was Tuesday was a treacherousness day for me when I got home from work. Never in a million years would I be so upset and broken. Yeah, it may have been stupid to cry over because they are just things but it was not it at all. It was the simple fact of having to work so hard to have those things because I am never been one of those people who just got handed things. I always had to work for the things I wanted and struggle. It kind of made the rest of my week going into a hay-wire thinking mode about a lot of things. Don't you just love when that happens?
3. I thought this was a cute session.. Troy Grover Photography and thought I should share it with you people.
4. Another session I adored was this one by the lovely Meg Courtney who did my photos for me in the fall!
5. This post definitely spoke everything I feel to the tee, minus school. click here to read - Dear Me.
6. The fair starts today with rides and all the fooooood you can dream of!! I am not too sure yet when I am attending but I believe Monday is the day for me and I will for sure bring my camera to take lots of photos for the blog for you guys to view!
7. This Wednesday is my first meeting for the interview I had back in May. I am not really sure what to expect at this point but it shall be interesting.
8. From Thursday night to Monday I will be on away on a little vacay. I will not have anything for those days for you guys, but perhaps maybe Girl Run that Show but I have not decided yet. I might just give it a break this Friday coming up. Hopefully I get TONS of photos on this little mini trip, which I kind of do not want to go on and not really too excited about it. However, that could all change once I get there..
9. Yesterday, was hang out day after supper in downtown, because they had music.. beer garden and food all around you can go eat and try out the different restaurants. I just got myself a lemonade, which was perfect! I could have used a large one because the small one was so refreshingly good! I did not bring my camera to this or with me at all but perhaps if I swing back down I shall take some photos to show.
10. I have a lot to do this week, it seems so jammed pack, along with trying to get ready and make sure I have everything for my trip.
11. My favorite part of this whole week was the crazy story of my friends birthday and what had happened to the girls I work with. Also, yesterday just sitting and relaxing and people watching while music playing. There was so many cool outfits that inspired me from people and if not an outfit a piece from their look.
12. Saturday is my beautiful cousins wedding, which I am unable to attend but I know it will be a beautiful one. Oh which everything I have to her is behind, I am not totally all here of together because her card is going to be late. I guess better late then never and getting her gift from her registry was the worst, such a hassle I was having to run back & forth because no one could help me. I went there literally 6 times, six times, that is not great customer service at all. I am actually quite disappointed because instead of her wedding gift being received on time, it will be late. I am quite annoyed about it but at the same time it is out of my control and I did what I could on my end to the fullest possible outcome. I at least I finally got it straightened out and at least she will receive my gift to her even if it may not be on time.
13. Oh and everyone loves my new glasses!! So that is great to hear because I love them too!!
14. I am really hoping for a Starbucks day on Saturday with my notebook, pen, me and possibly my laptop too will join.
15. I had the most interesting conversation yesterday with my dad over the phone! It is the one thing I have been pondering but afraid to bring up or mention because I am not sure of the reaction but it was definitely way way beyond what I thought in my head may occur or could occur. I know I had this discussion before but I was younger and attending university at the time and that was my plan but then it left me and never crossed my mind again. And I probably should not be surprised because of the first time when I was attending university I had this discussion but also life changes and so do people and things happen.
16. I was trying to watch a movie this week and it just does not want to work out for me. I constantly have to change it. I think this week is not a good time for chillin with a movie and relaxing.
I have so MUCH to figure out.. and that is why my pen and paper + Starbucks is going to help me with that! I think this is it for this weeks post, so thanks for reading and sorry for so mellow, kind of down post this week. This is just were I am at this week.. but I am excited for later today after work to visit with a friend who I have not seen in forever! But not only that every time we have tried to hangout something has come up, so yaay for finally get to see each other for a bit tomorrow!
I hope you all have a lovely friday & weekend!

E1EVEN QUESTIONS FROM SOFI (who nominated me)
1. Name one thing that makes you get in the morning? I am going to assume it was meaning get up in the morning and for me that would be a fresh start to brand new day, going to see someone, inspiration first thing in the morning from blogs, quotes, affirmations. If I had to choose ultimately would be a brand new day, because whatever happened yesterday was yesterdays day and today is a new day with new adventures and things to do. Oh and definitely my little niece, she is the cutest thing since pumpkin pie and whip cream.
2. Favorite artistic form of expression, whether its writing, drawing, crafting etc.? I would have to say number one, definitely writing! I am always doing that, no matter what. However, also drawing is random but I would have to say sewing as the next thing to writing.
4. The best kind of reward after a challenging day? Just being able to relax and doing whatever my little heart desires!
5. Most listened to song of the week? Okay, so it is between Ne-yo Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself ) & Kip Moore Hey Pretty Girl (I know bipolar opposite music selection)
6. Favorite restaurant/coffee shop? Rigolettos for restaurant and for coffee shop Second Cup and Starbucks is 50/50 for me.
7. Best holiday so far? To date up until now I would have to say New York baaaaaby! ;) I would say Grade five, California, going to Disneyland! However, I was really young back then and it is not as crystal clear as New York and I am sure it has changed from the time I went there, so NEW YORK! NEW YORK-ER at HEART!
8. Place you would most like to visit? Oh my gosh, you do not even know how badly I want to travel to this place but it definitely would be LONDON, ENGLAND hands down, no questions asked! My ultimate first choice place, then would be Australia, Croatia, Hawaii just to name a few but oh so many more places. But definitely my first pick would be LONDON that place has stolen my heart and soul right down to the itty bitty pit of my core.
9. A perfect evening is...? Just hanging out reading, watching television, going to the movies, watching movies at home, browsing the internet and being inspired. The greatest perfect evening every time, no questions asked is getting to see people and hanging out really. My favorite perfect evening would be hanging out with my very lovely friend Cristina. It always, always, always my favorite perfect evenings because of the amazing conversation!
10. Why blog? - Something to offer. - Let someone else be inspired by. - Give someone hope. - A way to relate to something that you think you are alone in but really you will be surprised by all the love, support and how others or someone has had the same experience or challenges in life. - A way to share a part of me but really a place to document my life. my stories. my inspiration. my love. my dreams. my challenges. ultimately my journey.
11. One thing you've learnt since you began blogging? Let me think... I would have to say putting myself out there and not being afraid. Also engaging with other bloggers and commenting instead of oh that's cool but never saying anything and even if you are the only comment, that one comment could bright that persons day. (Okay so that was more than one thing but it fits in together. =) )

And of course I was late twice this week to my luck. I seriously could not get a break.. it was one thing after the next and I did not even understand why at the time. I never got any sleep those days it was so bloody hell hot! On top of being late everything else was going wrong.. you know those days? Yeah that was my beginning of the week, sucked! However today, fantastic along with yesterday! :D
5. I finally finished reading the 3rd book of the other two in the series I had read, yaaay! - accomplished! =)
6. Something that I loved that I read this week from this blog post was this quotation "You can do it. Don't you dare listen to anyone who tells you that you can't. Whatever it is that you want do, whoever you want to become... go for it. It will be hard, and frustrating, and stressful, and emotional, and scary... but it will be one of the greatest things you will ever do. You will meet people who will make you stronger, who will make you cry, who will lift you up, who will change your life, and who will push you to be better, because they know you can be. You will create things you hate, and things you love, and things you never knew you could create. You will find your your strengths, and your weaknesses. You will grow, change, and be stretched. You will be better, stronger, and more brave every day. Being who you want to be... it's worth it. Every single second of it If I can take the leap, you can." but I would read the whole thing to grasp what it is all about. click here. I found this is inspirational and motivating. I thought it was something worth sharing!
7. I got so much accomplished yesterday, since I had the day off! I was so so so behind in responding to comments but I got through all of them and there was a LOT! Thank you all so much for your lovely comments and browsing my blog along with the ones who come back! I really appreciate the time you take to view as well as comment! love ya sweet cheeks!

10. I can't wait until tomorrow after work, which I wasn't suppose to work again but got asked and only offered a few hours of my time and service. Besides the point.. I cannot wait until after to go see Spiderman with my friend!!
11. I have a post I have been saying I will post up forever on here and I just have not gotten to the finalizing of looking it over number one and two it is a whole lot of ME and a whole lot of personal! I am kind of nervous actually, okay maybe a little is an understatement but you get my drift right...
12. I feel like I have so much too say while I did before I came on here to type it out and now it seems like it just all went out the window or I am simply still tired. I know there is some more things.. oh yes, today was my last day working with my manager.. teaaar! I am going to miss her for the six months she is going to be gone, haha.. but knowing my great jokes I shall surprise her with a jokingly prank joke soon! Haha!! If you know me, then you know I like to randomly get people when they least expect it and it is funny because I do not even have to try at all and I get people just being me on a normal non planning day of not aiming to get someone. haha!!
13. Yaaay, for getting to work with my friend tomorrow again for another weekend, since we never work together. I am excited about that!
14. Oh maaan, I cannot wait for The Bachelorette finale.. I really want to know!! I will be so disappointed if she picks no one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad Jef made it to the final two!! love him! (Of course I was so LOUD when he got chosen) you can only imagine, haha!
15. I cannot wait to go see Savages, hopefully I will see that soon! :D
16. I loove loove loove my friend C, who I call my best friend as noted in last fridays fridays letter! She is honestly so caring and interested about things like I am in astonishment still because all the cool interesting questions she ask about me that I did not bring up to her. I love that! You know you have someone great in your life when you know they genuinely care! loooove you to ice cream pieces!
17. I was excited I got to meet up with C, yesterday even though a bit tired but it was great. I love talking with her always, there is always so much to say or talk about on things and life. Also very helpful, actually immensely helpful because I was curious about some things and she totally helped me out by sharing her knowledge, so that was great for me. So I feel not lost anymore on certain things or less overwhelmed by certain things that I was going what the heck am I going to say or how will I do this!
18. My all time favorite is text messages and especially random surprise ones from people you do not hear from a regular bases because life is busy but keep in touch every now again to see how each other is doing. I especially love the ones between my friend C & I because they are always amazing and amazing conversations. I swear we talk via text message everyday pretty much, always in contact. I like that, because when I honestly look back I never had anything like that with someone where we were in contact a lot about different stuff it was more okay, I have a problem blaaah.. lay it all out, reaad and my response. I am very very appreciative for what I have now.
19. Today at work was an ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! booom! moment :0 drop your mouth open, did I just hear what I think I heard... daaaaaaamn! Yeah never in one bit expected to hear or see what happened between another co-worker and a supervisor, insane. Number two, I would never do that ever.
20. Another thing this week was my random insightful thoughts that just would pour out. I do not know what it was about my mood or that day but I was just okay.. here is my thoughts. It was random but also cool, it was cool in the sense that being able to share with someone your thoughts and not being on guard or guarding your thoughts because the response you are unsure of. It was great moment but also very vulnerable for me too.
21. I ordered a book today, which I already read on my e-reader last summer or before the summer came, but I had to have a hard copy of it. I had gotten my auntie a copy of it a while back because I had told her about it and then she passed it onto my other auntie to read and I think my grandma too. I love how all my aunties and grandma read in my family, so they can recommend books and discuss books that we have read. It is great but any who.. I got two copies because it is such a book that is.. one hard to find on that topic and two describes things that to the tee make sense, better understanding. I cannot wait to share that with my friend. I am so excited, haha!
22. This was such a cute photography session I came across this week. click here to view.
I think this is it, for this Fridays post! I hope you all enjoyed and have a lovely night. Oh and it is getting late already 9:30pm, wow I did not see the time! Sorry for such a late post here.. enjoy. :D Have a lovely weekend if I do not stop in on her tomorrow, then see you all monday!
Sorry I have been MIA for a few days, it's just been so hot here plus 33-37 and I do not have the energy these past couple days to keep up with the things I need to. I know I haven't done anything on here and thought I should go on here and post about something. I had this waiting around to post for a while but I just never got around to it and today seems like the perfect day!
I found her(Jenni) blog not that long ago and not too recently and I fell in complete LOVE. I thought she is worth mentioning for those that have not ever come across her blog. Oh and she is super gorgeous like the first day of spring! I even had to share it with my friend and my mom the love story especially, melt my heart! Oh and I forgot to mention her husband has the most beautiful eyes eveeeeeer!!
My favorite entries from her blog that stole my heart were theses and how could they not be! I am a complete sucker for stories like these, especially when they are real life! I attached those links below and you can read them for yourself and leave her some blog love.
the love story
Yeah this was a stolen heart moment after reading this! Wow, I was not expecting to reading something like this at all but I was in definite awe after! This was initially my reaction "Oh my gosh! that love story blew me out of the water, pure pure faith! How often do you hear something like that? I like how persistent he was and his eyes, holy smokes his eyes, gorgeous. gorgeous. gorgeous! Crazy how people know that so fast! ("First time I saw her I knew she would be my wife!") Awww and comes true!!" If you love love stories like me, total sucker here, I think you should read.
Ask Matthew: Questions answered! (pt 1) / Ask Matthew: Questions answered! (pt 2)
I loved this because it's not often you get to hear from someone's significant other and so I liked how he answered the questions but more so how he took the time to post on her blog and answer all the questions from her followers. Great read and so smart. Haha, one of my favorite questions was this "Jenni does a lot of outfit posts, but what is your favorite sort of outfit to see her in? Glamorous? Casual? Sweatpants/hair tied chillin with no make up on? (lil Drake lyrics)" Another question that I liked was "when are you gonna make some babies?!haha.. loved the response!
first date re-created
I like the excerpt from one of her favorite books she wrote out on this post!
guest post
I know this isn't directly on her blog but a guest post on another's but I wanted to share because I liked what she had to say on being a newlywed.
what are you waiting for?
I enjoyed this entry because it was something inspirational and about life and changing.
couples session with brittney squire
This was the first thing that I had come across that got me to her blog and oh boy, these photos are gorgeous!
I believe this is it and to check out who Jenni is click here to read her about me and get to know her, her blog and her life! enjoy. =) I hope you all enjoy the links I have posted that made me fall in love with her and her blog. I know there is a TON more entries but these ones are what stuck out for me and I am sure you will find yours or more stuff which I haven't linked up.
I wanted to change it up this Friday and do Friday's Letters because I keep seeing it and so I was like oh hey, let's try this out! So today this is what it is.. sorry for no Girl Run that Show this Friday! =( It will be back up next Friday, don't worry!
Dear Work, Thanks for the flood and grand awesome clean up that I had to do. The.most. hectic day of my life that was but thanks co-workers for having my back for the aftermath. Love ya! Dear Friend, (Best Friend) I love meeting up and hanging out and even if it's for 15-20 minutes! Yep total awkwardness, this week.. haha. Oh and I must add the bracket words, yeah that's a new thing that just kind of happened on its own from my mouth lately. Okay, a lie.. maybe a little bit before but it keeps slipping out of my mouth. So I am going to stick to it I think so, because it seems to becoming a habit. Dear Yoga Studio, Thanks for a making an effort to call to inform the people interested if there is actually class or not! Oh no wait, that's my business so I should call and confirm.. right?! Annoyed! Dear Nancy, I hope you have fun in Costa Rica! Please come back in one piece for our movie date when you get back, excited! Dear Cousin, I am very very disappointed with everything that is going on that I haven't made it down to visit you and your new home... teaaar. I really want to come I just have a jam packed schedule at the moment but as soon as I figure it out I shall tell you. It actually stresses me out because I say I am going to come but so many things are happening but also it's stuck in the back of my mind I must do this! Thanks for understanding but I will try my very best to come visit! I am really hoping before summer ends. Dear Optical, I love you for my new glasses that I will be getting in a couple of weeks! I am excited for something fresh and new to rep on these shining city light eyes! ha! Dear Book, Thank you for letting me get back into reading you and making me want to read and read until I fall asleep! I am really trying to finish reading you very soon! I am so behind but finished book number one and two so quickly. Dear Body, I am so sorry you got sick. It wasn't something I had planned but you did. Thanks for the horribleness. However I am thankful it was on my day off, so that makes up for your horribleness. Dear Summer, I love the warm weather and the thought of summery clothes! I love it and I love you summer! Oh but please sloooooooooooooooooow doooooooooooown! You are going by tooooooo faaaaassst! Thanks. Dear Sleep, Thanks for letting me hustle some of that in my life lately this week. It has been the best ever, however I can tell I am behind in catching up for the past many weeks for the lack there of. Dear Amanda, Thank you for my belated birthday gift and our friendship, you're awesome and love ya! Dear Heart, Tomorrow is a special day with a special post... saad. =( Dear Mind, I don't know what's going on but you've been dreaming up big things lately, big thoughts. I hope they come true because I think it's your time and you (I) needed it in your (my) life too. Please work out somehow, thanks. Dear Notebook, Thanks for being part of my amazing-ness that will be stored in you with a many possibilities, dreams, goals and everything that comes through. Dear White Chocolate Mousse Cake, I finally got you this week, oh yeah the day it poured like crazy but you were the greatest. Delicious! Dear New Opportunities, I am kind of scared to be truthful.. I don't know what to expect or what I have fully gotten myself into but please be for the best. I think it is or else you wouldn't have allowed it to come into my life?! But then you could be teaching me a lesson or gaining me an experience, but please let it be for the best of me. Dear Movies, There is too many this week all at once coming out. You're trying not to let me keep up aren't you, ha! Dear AONW's, Thanks for your help and hearing me out! I am very grateful and feel blessed! Thank you again, such a sweetheart! Dear Friday, Thank you for a super early day off today! Dear Comments, Thank you, thank you, thank you oh so much for all of them that I have received! I really appreciate them and read plus check out every single blog! I know I am behind on updating the latest ones, but forgive me I will be going through them this weekend, so don't give up on me. I love you sunshine's! Dear Soul Heart, Um ... What clever idea do you think you have up your sleeve? I honestly think you are getting me into some kind of a mess, a good mess I don't know. A bad mess, quite possible but please don't let that be. However, I wanted to take a risk into the big leagues which is a pretty big deal (no games here) but then also I am terrified inside to marbles and uncontrollable flying bouncy balls swarming the sky down a HUGE STEEP hill. Thank goodness for best friends because I am seriously collapsing on my knees scared, legit terrified to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
I was working on a post for you guys that I have been working on for a few days actually and was planning to post it Monday, but pushed it back. I thought Tuesday would be better because Monday is always full of cheery weekend stuff. I decided to post something else on Tuesday because I wasn't in the greatest of shape to complete that entry from being sick Monday. Here we are Wednesday and still nada, nothing, no luck tonight either of posting this post I have been wanting to this week! (Another reason July 4th, just does not mesh well with good times!) However I just finished adding some details to that post and not done the final editing of it, so I think hopefully tomorrow I will post that milestone of a post up. I have been contemplating for Tuesday this week coming up too. I shall see tomorrow what my little heart requests to serve up as a post for tomorrow! However, tonight as I was working on that post I was roaming back to old posts I have done and I was like oh what a cool idea to compile all the Outfit posts I have done on here into this post. I know it's not many but I liked the idea and was oh yes must do! So without further a do, here is all my Outfit Looks I have ever posted on this blog. Oldest from the bottom starting, with the newest at the top! :D
I already had a post to go up this morning but I thought that it should be put on hold for one more day. It's Monday and I think that is a post for a Tuesday! Okay, so you know that summer list I made a few days ago back in June and now is July! :D Well I had put recipes on that list and I found some from pinterest that I would like to take a swing at this summer! These are my picks, enjoy! :D
