PUPPIES!!!

So I had a good weekend.. How bout you?

Saturday I worked and studied all day but Sunday Jenna and I went to Jungle Jims... Which if any of you are from this area and haven't been I suggest you fix this immediately!!!
It is the coolest grocery store in the world.. I bought my first mango... I am super excited about it and can't wait to try it... I love going there... I also got dried tomato and oregano stuffed tortellini which is amazing!!  Anyway it was awesome and I loved  having a girls day out...  Then Phil came over last night and while we should have been studying we decided to look at future potential puppies... We made a list of like ten but it was soo cute.. We looked at all the stats and took quizzes to see what was right for us... Did you know that there are multiple breeds of dogs that are bad with children because they "tend to herd children" some "by nipping" hahah It absolutely cracked me up to read that but obviously that made it a "no" on our list hahah so I think the current winner is a Bernese Mountain Dog... Look how cute

Isn't he adorable..... I think that face is just begging for me to go get him... Look at him he is saying "Amber come get me... come take me home and cuddle with me... I will be your best friend" (As said in a little kid voice as if talking to a baby) hahaha You gotta admit this puppy is adorable though.......

Anyway so this week is starting out good too... I had lunch with Amber today which was awesome.. Of course... and now that I know she reads this here is a shout out to her and her awesomeness...




Aren't we cute hahah
So hey Amber!! And here is your inspiration for the day based on our conversation today...



Also I wanted to throw a little love toward my friend Anne today.... I think she had a really bad day and needs some love and support so if you are reading this please send Anne a little love and some prayers today....
This one is for you Anne




I hope things begin to turn around for you... keep your head up girlie... Love you

Also I wanted to let everyone know that my cousin Natalie had another surgery today and she came through wonderfully from what I hear and I am so proud of that little girl... she is so little and has been through so much but she is always smiling... She is such a strong and beautiful little girl

Isn't she adorable!!! She is the strongest little girl I have ever met!!!
Ok I really need to get to studying so thats it for today!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful night! Don't forget to be thankful for everything you have been given!!!

workout update and thank yous

First off I have some good workout news... Got on the Wii fit this morning and it told me I have lost 5.1 lbs since my last weigh in, so I decided to check my overall and I have lost 20 lbs since I started my new lifestyle... let me tell you.. it feels great... I wish I was courageous enough to take a "before" picture of myself in my underwear but not quite that confident yet so you guys will just have to take my word for it haha
So in case you are wondering what I'm doing I'll tell you. I get up at 6am five days awake and go for a run at the fitness center in my apartment complex. I have a bowl of Special K for breakfast then go to work/school/lab. Then for lunch I have fruit and a Light and Fit yogurt. If I get hungry I have more fruit or granola. Then in the evenings I do my Wii Fit Yoga/Aerobics/Strength training and I have what I want for dinner as long as it isn't too crazy. I haven't had fast food since before Thanksgiving and I have avoided sodas and excess sugar (with the exception of a few things here and there just so I don't feel starved and to avoid a "pig out" session later on) Also I found a new workout thanks to pinterest that I throw in either in the morning or in the evening, you would be surprised how crazy hard it is and how quickly it wears you out.


Also I wanted to thank you all for all the hits on this blog. I have had a ton of hits on this site and it calculates for me how many people have come on to it so I would like to thank you all for the great amount of support and love you have shown me. I hope I can return the favor to you all too when you need me.....
xoxoxo

yes two posts in a row

So I had to post again... After posting my last one I decided to adventure out and hit the "Next Blog" button on the top of this screen. It brought me to a site where a woman was posting about her little family. They had adopted a child from China and were chronicling the journey it took to get her and it was amazing how natural and beautiful she looked in their family..
So I hit the "next blog" button again... It brought me to website of a woman whose top post said "We're pregnant" so I began to read and this site what the chronicling of a boy meets girl story where boy meets girl they fall in love get married she has endometriosis they are going through in vitro and after 4 failed attempts (Well 3 failed and one miscarriage) she was strong and pregnant. this lovely young couple was finally having their dreams come true... they looked beautiful and so much in love.... it was wonderful to read...
I decided not to hit the next blog button again for three reasons...
1) My troubles seem so miniscule compared to theirs that I didn't feel right complaining about anything ever again.. My biggest worries include grades and when I will work out tomorrow.. but these couples have real issues and God has come through with them and showed them a life they want to have which leads me to a great quote
"Dont tell God how big the storm is.. Tell the Storm how big your God is"
2) I think it was a sign from God to remind me to put myself in place in the grand scheme of things.. I think he was trying to remind me how lucky I am and to be thankful for the great things he has given me. I didn't want to push my luck by finding one more site where people were having troubles but working through them. (That sounds odd I know but I was thankful for the sites I read and was humbly put into my place)
3) Im really hoping this was just a random coincidence and not some omen for the future because I want to be a mom so bad one day. I want to settle down one day and raise a family and I pray that it comes easily and without worry or strife. I have a friend who has no trouble having babies but she wants to adopt kids with Down Syndrome. She decided it was her calling because these children often are not adopted and in some countries they are put into hospitals and are never held or taken care of. She said she wanted to give them homes and show them what it feels like to be loved. She is an amazing woman and recently married and if her and her husband continue with this idea, those will be the most blessed children in the world. I also have a wonderful and inspirational friend who couldn't have children so she recently adopted an entire family (4 kids) which even included teenagers. She didn't want to break up the family so they adopted them all.. These are amazing women that I would love to be even a 1/100 of the women they are and if God so chooses I will handle it but Im praying that's not the case. I didnt want to chance seeing a third site along the same message... call me superstitious I guess.....

A quote for these strong amazing women
"Am I showing? The answer is on my face not in my belly"

day out with the boss

So today was a totally random day but awesome... So to begin with I slept in... which is crazy for me because normally I get up around 6am and go for a run on the treadmill or the elliptical for an hour then get ready for work which I have to be there by 9am. But last night Oxford Commons had a free food/party night so Phil came to stay and he had to get up this morning to make it to work by 7:30 so I didnt go for a run. After he left I went back to bed until 8:15am. Got up showered brushed my teeth and headed to school.
Last semester I was helping an undergrad named Amber (haha i know right?) study for a final exam so she brought donuts this morning as a sign of thanks! I was super excited since I didnt have time to eat breakfast anyway since I slept in. Then after work was over the Boss and another professor took last semesters 201 TA's out for a beer which turned into two drinks. There was free food at the place too so now I dont have to cook dinner or worry about it which is super exciting. It was so odd sitting there for two years drinking with professors especially with one being a boss but it was great. We joked and laughed and had a great time... Unfortunately now I must get to work.. Or play on pinterest... whichever comes first hahaha....
Its a great day...
