Option A: The Gym, Option B: Emotional Breakdown

Have you ever had one of those days where an overflow of emotions and tears seems to be just a blink away? Well this morning I nearly let my emotions get the best of me and the day could’ve easily turned into a disaster.   After my husband left for class I suddenly became so overwhelmed, emotional, and… Continue reading Option A: The Gym, Option B: Emotional Breakdown

Lessons in Persistence and Doing Your Best

          Last night I snapped these pictures of Biggie (our bulldog) and couldn’t wait to share them. It cracks me up every time that Biggie tries this because despite being too short that doesn’t stop him from atleast attempting to reach what’s on the counter. Sometimes if it’s a scent he’s particularly intrigued by he’ll even… Continue reading Lessons in Persistence and Doing Your Best

My Heart Is Just Not In It

Lately I’ve been finding that I’m writing more because I committed to “postaday2011” and not because my heart is in it. This is in large part due to the fact that school and other life activities are absorbing much of my time, thinking, and effort. In the past few days by the time I make it to the computer (or my… Continue reading My Heart Is Just Not In It

Maybe Japan?

This is strange, I submitted this post last night but for some reason it didn’t post. So my husband and I might be going to Japan during Spring break! Nothing concrete yet, we just started looking at air/hotel deals and getting some information. I’m really excited because whether or not we decide to go to… Continue reading Maybe Japan?

Take Time To Say Thank You

Today’s inspiration comes from my daily Zelda Wisdom subscription. We all have busy schedules and things to take care of but we shouldn’t take for granted the significance of a “thank you” and telling someone how much you appreciate what they did/do for you. Remember that every day is a blessing and we can choose to be happy and make… Continue reading Take Time To Say Thank You

Why I Love February, Plus Other Life Events

February is one of my favorite months and not just because it’s my birthday month but because there are so many other celebrations that come rolling in, one right after the other, after Valentine’s Day. For starters on the 16th my parents celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. My parents have been through so many hurdles and happy moments during all these years and… Continue reading Why I Love February, Plus Other Life Events

School: A combination of very interesting and confused

I’m writing this a day in advance because I am anticipating I won’t have time to post tomorrow (Wed). I’ll be at school all day and then my husband and I have plans to enjoy a nice dinner out at one of our favorite restaurants in celebration of post Valentine’s Day. For my Social Psychology class we have… Continue reading School: A combination of very interesting and confused

Marriage, Life, Babies, Happiness

This past weekend I was at a little kid’s birthday party and I saw a lady there that I remembered talking with briefly the year before. As we were all singing and laughing while the kids were hitting the Piñata the lady asked me if we had any kids yet and I said no not yet. She gave me such a… Continue reading Marriage, Life, Babies, Happiness
