BLOGGING....

My life has been So busy the last couple months i have neglected my blog...

At the beginning of November I turned 23 and thannk you to my WONDERFUL parents they took me on a trip to Florida to visit one of their old friends! :) we had a Blast and I can't wait to go back someday (hopefully soon!)


Enjoying the ocean while the sunsets.



We went gator hunting in one of the national parks. It was Awesome!

They had these weird trees there i think they called them bangan trees or something.







Those are a few of the highlights from our trip!

Other then that I've just been enjoying life, trying to avoid the stress of some personally issues and learning how to lift my mood when I'm feeling down.

"The clearest indication of character is what people find laughable." - Goethe

On another note I am getting excited for classes to start in January! :)

Silly Time

I'm in a SILLY mood today!! :)


Thanks to my inner motivation I am a Happy smiling Fool today!

I might just do something crazy and exciting and fun today! Anyone that wants to join is more then welcome!

Oh the possiblities, sweet dreams.! haha.


LOVE!!!!!!!!!




And, yay to my Aunt who is getting married in 3 weeks. :)

Man... Life can get ya down sometimes.

I'm feeling a bit guilty for not writing for awhile, but the truth is I'm not to happy with my life right now and wasn't sure if i wanted to share that with the rest of the world. But here I am, trying to make sense and maybe some people will understand where i'm coming from and maybe someone won't, tis life!

I've been really under the misconception that life will work it self out... cause at this moment in time I'm not feeling that things are going the way I feel they should or want them to.... Don't get me wrong, I KNOW THINGS WILL WORK OUT IN TIME...

The future has been on my mind SOO much lately. Since i graduated from high school i've always had the thought (what do i wanna do when i 'Grow' up?), well i'm gettin all growed up and i still dont know what it is i wanna do! It's so frustrating to me.

Happiness is SO important to me, and as i've been studying a lot about it the last several months i have finally hit a point in my life that i can say.. I'm not happy, but i don't know how to fix it.... I'm at a lose for words when it comes to my life at this moment.

"The desire to change is meaningless, unless you find a way to make the change happen."
Pretty much sums up my life!

Often I think to myself, if only someone would truly believe in me and stick by my side to help me get through these rough times... but then again what good would it do me? I still have to make my own choices and live my own life...

I will figure it all out in time! ( I hope)

Thought of the day!

"Love yourself in every direction. Love your amazing beautiful body. Love your wonderful intricate mind. Love your heart and all its exquisite emotions. Love your infinite eternal spirit."

~Daphne Rose Kingma

Take Control

I've been really debating in my mind about change in my own life... i know i need something to change cause i'm just not 100 percent happy..(which is okay... but i know that i can change it.) Being happy has been my goal for the last year and I'm finally starting to see the things i need to change in order to make myself happier.. i just can't seem to actually DO it!

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."

One thing starting today i am going to try and do is to change all my passwords for my accounts that i log into a hundred times a day to something that i want to be aware of and focus on.. i often just go on autopilot and forget to focus on the present so that is a way i'm gonna try to get myself in the moment. That way i will have to actually think about what i'm typing, not just pushing buttons and waiting for that screen to pull up.

"To live in perpetual want of little things is a state, not indeed of torture, but of constant vexation."

"Be happy in the moment, thats enough. Each moment is all we need, not more!"

As I sit at my desk at work and wonder why it is SOO slow somedays and i just long for a busy day so i can actually feel like i accomplished something, i realized that i can bring my own work to work( so to say). I've been reading lots of books and taking notes and just trying to use my time wisely! It is limited but i can get somethings that i WANT to get done, done.

Laughing out loud is a great way to brighten my mood as well as smiling at people that i dont know. I find happiness and joy in seeing other people happy, so if there is something i can do to brighten there day, i try. :) a smile goes a long way!
"Act the way you want to feel"

"THE DESIRE TO CHANGE WAS MEANINGLESS IF I COULDN'T FIND A WAY TO MAKE THE CHANGE HAPPEN." Getting control of your life can make you much happier, its a big aspect in learning and understanding ourselves, also important for our own wellbeing to gain control of our own lives! To fulfill happiness in our own lives can be a huge accomplishment! keep your head up and find a way to make the change you want to in your own life! you are worth it!

YogA

So a few posts ago I had asked if anyone had any experience with meditation or yoga, and i never got a response so i decided to be proactive and just go for it! I've always wondered what all the talk was about yoga and what not, i decided to give it a try!

My first class was really good, i loved every minute of it, focusing on your breathing to take your mind off the past and future and to engage in the present, right there right now! It was such an amazing feeling. The things that the teacher says to you while your doing your workout is enlightening also, just loving your body and nourishing your body because its there to serve you each day. Also towards the end of our session we do a bit of meditation, i haven't quite figured it out but i like it!

The second session was a little more intense for me.. a lot of the moves were much harder for me so i got a little distracted on trying to keep up with my breathing and being able to perform the moves they were asking us to! But i also realized that its not about doing the moves correctly its about focusing on your body and what is comfortable for you. It's also involves a lot of flexiblity, which i don't have much of. :)

ALl in all i've had a pretty good experience with my yoga class so far!

My Happiness Project

I've started this thing called a "happiness project" probably around feb or march of this year... i just now realized that it was important to the discovery of myself and the things I love and want out of life. I have come up with "the happiness project" after reading a book titled that by gretchen rubin (great book) and it made sense in my mind that people should really take the time to discover this in themselves... what makes you truly happy and how to get to a happier state of mind.

I owe a big thanks to a couple of people that have really set me on this path to happiness! You know who you are... challenging me and having deep discussions about being happy and all kinds of things that just come to mind. I love to ask questions and its even more fun when others ask and want answers too. :)

I've looked back on this year and just realized how great of a year its been i've done so many things that are new and exciting and i'm learning that happiness is very important in this life! Just a quick preview:





These are just a few things that have made this year great for me so far!


I'm very excited to continue this journey and to experience new things and to grow as a person. I can't explain where i have come from in my life and things are starting to make sense to me, as far as why and how things happened... I love to just try new things and see what life has to offer for the day.. i try to have a positive attitude most of the time and when i get down i find a way to get back up and continue to live in happiness! :D Every little action we make has some effect and we have the choice to make it good or bad!

OverWhelmed

Ha. I'm not sure what my deal is the last couple of days but I've become very overwhelmed with life... i'm not even sure how or why...

I just feel as if my mind is full of things that need to be released but i'm not sure how to release them... My allergies are DEFINATELY not helping anything.. they have just been miserable all spring summer and now into fall... ugh..

i think you should give me some words of encouragment or a fun quote to help me lift my mood! :) please and thank you!

Loving Yourself

"LOVING YOURSELF IS THE GREATEST WORK YOU WILL DO IN THIS LIFE."

"IN EVERY SITUATION THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY EITHER TO ACT IN YOUR OWN BEHALF OR TO BETRAY YOURSELF. IT'S YOUR CHOICE."

"YOUR POOR SELF-CONCEPT MAY BE DEMONSTRATED THROUGH SUCH SELF-DISHONORING BEHAVIORS AS OVEREATING, ADDICTIONS, EXCESSIVE TELEVISION WATCHING, OR OBSESSIVE INTERNET SURFING."


Wow I never realized until now how much I put myself down... it's really sad. Committing to loving yourself is a very difficult concept but can be very rewarding i'm discovering... i always wondered what people were talking about when they say you have to love yourself to be able to love others... or do unto others as you would do to yourself... well, if that was the case everyone would be in deep trouble because i'm not very nice to myself.

Thinking on all the thoughts i have during the day towards myself can be self distructing, such as when you wake up and look at yourself in the mirror and say yuck i don't like that outfit or i look gross in that, then you get to work and you check your email and you have none( you tell yourself i'm not good enough for someone to have emailed me), there are a million things that we come across during the day that we put ourselves down over. All these negative things that we tell ourself usually come from something that has happened in our past that had a negative effect on us and we are reminded by the when certain things come up during the day. It's up to us to figure out what causes those negative attitudes we keep telling ourselves so we can start enjoying ourselves and tell ourselves that we are worth whatever it is we want to be worth.


"THE CHOICES WE MAKE IN EVERY SITUATION ARE A DIRECT REFLECTION OF WHO WE ARE!"

"THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE WAY TO ARRIVE AT AUTHENTIC SELF-LOVE, AND THAT IS TO REALIZE THAT YOU CAN NEVER BE FULLY SATISFIED ON A PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVEL."

"Love yourself in every direction. Love your amazing beautiful body. Love your wonderful intricate mind. Love your heart and all its exquiste emotions. Love your infinite eternal spirit." - AMen to that!!!

It's kind of awesome how the little things we do for ourselves can make us so much more happy and can also lift a huge weight off our own shoulders.. just knowing that you stood up for yourself, whatever the situation was. :]

SO go out and learn to love yourself and to treat yourself with respect!! :D

Vitamin C- Smile :D

"Smile"


Alright...
Alright...

First of all

When you wake up in the evening and the day is shot
Find yourself complaining 'bout the thing you ain't got
Never crossed just the way that you wanted it to
Cliche of the day, cest la vie that's just

[Chorus:]
Life, it ain't easy
It's so tough
It ain't easy
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place
Put a smile on your face
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place
Put a smile on your face
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)

And another thing

You can say that I'm a dreamer and you think it's uncool
Preaching 'bout the better life I learned in school
But you get what you give in this life that we live
And all that you do come back to you

[Repeat Chorus]

Yo,
When things isn't right there's no need to fight
Come on be nice
No need to fight
Stay polite even when you're hurting don't forget to smile
Give love to our nation, big or small
When you do good you'll get your reward
United with stand, divided we fall
Put a smile on your face and greet one and all

[Repeat Chorus]

People love you when you smile
And hate you when it's through
Lots of happiness
We are wishing you
If you come from Jamaica or Honolulu, yeah
Keep a smile on your face
I'll see the good that you do

Smile (smile)
And everything will be fine..




So this song is VERY old and I was working away this morning and it came on my Ipod and i GOT So excited! :) it made me smile so big.. lol.. just wanted to share with everyone, maybe someone else will get a good smile on for today! :)

Journey to Self Discovery

I've been on this self seeking mode the last two or three weeks.. i've been reading a lot of self help books and just trying to figure out how my brain processes things and how to take information in differently then i have in the past... ( yes that may sound a bit odd...cause it is..)

I have issues with living in the past and future instead of in the PRESENT. I'm learning to just take one day at a time and to just enjoy the moment, yes you have to prepare for the future and look at the past to help you grow stronger but you can't live your life looking ahead or looking back, you just gotta go with what you have RIGHT HERE and NOW.

YOu know, every person goes through SO much in their life and we all have times where we fall down and need someone to help us up and get back on the right path and lately i've been just struggling so much with the things that are going on in my life.. it seems like one thing after another keeps dragging me down but somehow i still seem to find a way to find joy through the days.. (ONE DAY AT A TIME.)


Sorry to be a little depressing in this blog... I feel like its better to share with others when your going through hell so maybe they will learn something from you.
Also if anyone has any thoughts or comments about yoga or meditating i would love to hear your opinions, i'm wanting to take a yoga class but just curious what others' experiences where with it.. if you have had any. :) Thanks!

Self Enjoyment

Last Sunday was maybe one of the best days I've had in a long time... i finally got my bike back and have been wanting to ride around NEvada to see some of the town and to check out a few of the trails they have... well i didn't do much trail riding but i did end up riding like 5 miles on gravel... lol! It was the most fun i've had by myself in a while... i LOVE the corn fields and the smell of iowa summers. While i was riding it started pouring rain and it was just a perfect moment of big giant drops hitting my skin and the ground around me. I also was singing to my Ipod at the top of my lungs... :) (since i was out in the middle of nowhere!) thats just how i roll i guess.. haha. When i made it home after 11 miles of riding i was already wet from both sweat and rain so i decided to dance and play in the rain for awhile. :D It was a glorious moment!

I just love that sense of childhood enjoyments that you can bring to your current adult life and not be too ridiculous about, well i would probably do them anyway.. lol, but its just fun to reminisce.


'Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't you will leak away your innate contentment. '

- passage from EAT PRAY LOVE.

Ahhhh... Simplicity

So this past weekend I took an entire day to just do NOTHING! I rented 4 movies from the redbox and layed on the couch all day and just watched movies and relaxed.. It was GREAT!!!



One of the movies that i watched was called Beastly... i really wanted to watch this movie not only because it looked like a chick flick but it just seemed like it had a good plot. Little did i know, i actually learned a lot from this movie! It kind of made me look at simplicity from a new perspective... Love is not about making someone fall in love with you.. its about being yourself and for the other person to understand and love you for you! I love how "Hunter" had to find things about her on the inside in order to make her feel loved because he couldn't use physical attraction as his means of getting her to fall in love with him.. he had to be creative in truly understanding her from the inside out.

I also think that is very important for all of us to realize that love is a very fragile thing, we often get so caught up in the joys and excitments of the big picture that we forget to just stop and enjoy the moment and the little things!


Don't get me wrong I'm definately NOT perfect by any means... this has just been something thats been on my mind lately to really try and understand the meaning of true love and what it takes to be in a relationship.. its NOT easy!!! You have to remember to be simple and to not take things for granted but to just enjoy the presence of that person in your life.

No Such Thing by John Mayer

LYRICS
"welcome to the real world"
she said to me condescendingly
"take a seat, take your life
plot it out in black and white"

well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
and the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
is still hiding up my sleeve

they love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
but something's better on the other side

I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above

so the good boys and girls take the so-called right track
faded white hats grabbing credits, maybe transfers
they read all the books but they can't find the answers
all of our parents, they're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
while in their memories, tiny tragedies

they love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
but something's better on the other side

I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above

I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
as long as I'm alive

I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above

I just can't wait for my ten year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
and when I stand on these tables before you
you will know what all this time was for


For some reason this song caught my attention today when i heard it on the radio...It kinda made me wanna be free and do something crazy.. lol.(not too crazy though. :)) It just kinda makes you feel good about life (at least it did for me.)

When Life Gives you Lemons.....

You learn to dance in the rain!... Easier said then done i think. I'm one to always try and see things on the brighter side of life.. no matter how much someone hurts you or that really bad thing happened to you, you just gotta push through to make the most outta life. If things are meant to be they will come together!

As described in one of my previous posts, i have had an issue with negativity and trying to figure out what causes that because i'm not that person, i'm a smiley person who loves life! I just get SO excited about living my life and when good things happen I run at them with full force and i forget that sometimes you can't rush things.. you gotta take it slow and enjoy the scenery on the way! :)

I'm just starting to figure out the right balance in my life and where i should be as an individual. I know what calms me down when i need to relax and take a break from the craziness of life..(exercise) :)... and i've also started art journaling which is an amazing sort of therapy to get whats on your mind out on paper, it releases something amazing! Sometimes you just gotta push through the hard stuff to get to the GREAT stuff! You never know what you have till its gone... So enjoy your life for what it is!


"Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth."

Just gotta keep my head up and enjoy the things i've got!

Smile!

It's so funny how a simple smile can brighten your day! It's easy to get caught up in a bad day especially when things just seem to not go well, but for me if i just smile.. even if its fake at first it becomes a real smile. Also when others are happy and smile at you it just makes my heart feel good! :) Smiles are GREAT!

A smile is a facelift that's in everyone's price range!

Planting FUn!

So this past weekend i had a BlAST hanging out with my boyfriend! :) He's pretty great! Well sunday we were trying to decide on something to do and as we were driving past holubs greenhouse, i saw a sign that said HALF OFF ALL PLANTS... :) I got excited and said we should get some plants to plant at my house!!!! Spencer seemed pretty excited about the idea... so we got a bunch of plants to plant in my new landscaping...here are some pictures of it. :D



We got everything planted and it was SO much fun, just gotta get the rock to fill it in!

Overcoming Negativity

I've been faced with some difficult moments in my life the last couple of weeks and they are based on negative thoughts and feelings... I'm not really sure where these things come from except that something in my mind tells me that i'm not good enough or that i can't accomplish something that i want so bad...


I feel like i'm surrounded by happy people and sometimes can't find that extra boast of happiness that i love so much!




Posting positive quotes all around me has been helping a ton! Just writing stuff on note cards and putting them in places that are easy to look at when i start having negative thoughts or hanging them on my walls at home.. it is actually kind of fun to do this.


I just gotta find that right balance of positive and negative emotions in my life!

If anyone has any suggestions on what they might do or thoughts on things that might help me i would appreciate your input! :)

COld WhaT?!

Yeah. so i guess since the weather has been so crazy and up and down that means that you can still get colds when it is 80 degrees outside.. lol. who knew!?

So i have been dealing with this awful cold the last couple days.... not very much fun! but on the upside it is getting closer to summer!

Bring on the summer fun of tubing, swimming, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. :)

Escaping Time....

Time is such a valuable thing... we seem to take advantage of it instead of just stopping to enjoy the time we are given.. life is really short if you think about it..

I realized this morning that i need to enjoy my free time as much as i can... its hard to balance working full time and still remembering to have your own time to just enjoy living.. we do work so we can be able to do things and have things that we want and enjoy.

I love getting up early and just sitting on my deck and pondering life and the beauty of the things i have been given... i think we all just need to take time to live simply and love our lives for what they are... right here right now is all that matters! :)

I encourage everyone to take time to ENJOY and live your lives to the fullest right here and now! :) :) :)

Things that i LOVE:


My House is something that means a lot to me and that i worked hard to be able to have.


I love to be crazy and spontaneous. :)


Of coarse the LOVE OF MY LIFE! :) He means the world to me!


I love walking down the beach and putting my feet in the ocean.


And i love the outdoors.

RAINY Days!!!!!!!! :)

I have to say i love a rainy day every once in awhile! :) it gives me a little time to just relax and not feel like something has to be accomplished.. very good day for me to finish up the twilight series ive been reading for the last couple weeks!

BACK ON TRACK.

So i've been faced with the hard decision of how am i going to Lose Weight... i know, i know... its a question most people ask themselves lately.. i've been really struggling with being overweight lately because i can tell my body does not like it. I've been wanting to be healthier and get myself in shape for my own safety not because i think im fat or anything i just need to be a healthier person!

So i did it!!!! Today i signed back up for Weight Watchers Online... :)




I started weight watchers back in Feb and i did pretty well for about a month and then i had a lotta things going on in my life and i got off track some so i just quit and didn't wanna waste my time and money on something that i wasn't 100 percent committed to, so now i HAVE to be 100 percent committed to being healthier and eating better! I also just wanna feel better! I know the reason i've felt so crappy lately is because of the foods i eat.. they aren't doing anything for me but draggin me down!




I'm really excited to be committed to this and if anyone has any thoughts or comments for me or on weight watchers i would love to hear about them cause i am determined to succeed! :) I need all the support i can get!!!! :D

HaPpY!!!!

I'm so happy my life is just crazy good right now! I can't even explain it to anyone.. its just GREAT!! :D

Motivation

What comes to mind when you hear the word MOTIVATION?

Motivation to me is when you have a goal that you are trying to achieve and something pressures you into accomplishing that goal.

Sometimes motivation can be hard to find no matter how bad you want something in your life... its will power and training yourself to get into the right mindset in order to achieve something. I have such a hard time motivating myself but i know that it can only come from yourself because when people pressure you into doing something you tend to do the opposite (not all the time, but most of the time). Its almost like you have to force yourself to do it or else it WON'T happen.

I love that we have choices and we have to make our own decisions in life sometimes its hard to make the right one... or maybe the better choice for you!?!

I'm curious to hear what other people do to motivate yourself or where your motivation comes from when you are put in a situation that you need to make a choice.

Finding happiness within

Life lately has got me on edge, in a vulnerable and interesting way. I've been presented with some AMAZING things in my life these last couple months and sometimes you gotta just sit back and look at things from the outside in and just ENJOY the moment with an open and happy heart!

As happy and crazy as i am, life can still get me down.. i know its hard for me to say that out loud cause i try to hold such a tough surface, but we all have hard times, we are human after all! Being put in a vulnerable position no matter what it involves is such a humbling experience, yes it can be Scary but it gives us the chance to make a choice. If we didn't get put in a place to have to make decisions life would be so boring, we all have passions and goals in life, and its up to us to make those things happen or at least try to! :)

I'm so FREAKING happy right now! I've never dreamed i would ever be where i am in life right now, i love experiencing the joys and excitements in life theres just something SO trilling about it! My biggest down fall is being able to hold myself together when everything else falls apart, because we all have to be our own person, you have to make your own choices and decisions. All our successes in life come from ourselves with a little motivation and support from the people that love us, but we have to pursue happiness in our own lives for the sake of keeping ourselves sane and whole.

Life is just such an amazing experience!

Being Green...

What going green means to me!

Organic foods are grown free of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones and genetically-engineered substances. Eating Organically is not something that i am doing because its more nutritious or its better for me, although it some ways it is. I recently have had a few discussions about what the purpose of eating organically or buying organic products is and those few things described above say it all... its better for the environment.

Benefits of Recycling
-Recycling protects and expands U.S. manufacturing jobs and increases U.S. competitiveness.
-Recycling reduces the need for landfilling and incineration.
-Recycling prevents pollution caused by the manufacturing of products from virgin materials.
-Recycling saves energy.
-Recycling decreases emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.
-Recycling conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals.
-Recycling helps sustain the environment for future generations.

(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)

I think recycling can be so easy and look at all the positive effects it can have on the environment if we all just do a few small things to make it possible!

I've just been really thinking about why people eat organically and why people are So obsessed with recycling and such... and so i googled these things and what you see above are a few things that helped me understand the benefits being green has not only for us as people in this crazy world but also for our environment!

Rain Rain...

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!!!!!

I always forget what day earth day is! well ITs TOdaY! :D Unfortately its crappy outside and rainy.. like it has been most of the week.. its making the grass green and the trees bloom though so i guess its alright.. just hope we dont have another year like last with all the flooding and craziness.

I've failed to be as green as i would like this year, riding my bike is diffcult cause i live in nevada and work in ames.. i need some more GREEN ideas.. not just for travel but i wanna hear what everyone does to reduce,reuse and recycle things!?!?! :D Please share!

I have been wanting to get my garden started this year but the weather has been so off that im afraid to plant stuff yet.. I wanna start a small garden of veggies and also have a flower garden. :) the joys of having a house to be able to do all these fun things.. landscaping and planting.

Simplicities

I've been really trying to enjoy the simplicity of life lately..

Sometimes we can get so overwhelmed and caught up in our everyday life that we forget to take time to just relax and breath... it really does feel GOOD! I'm the kind of person who gets stressed really easily and if i dont stop and relax for a moment or two during my day i will break down.

Things i do to relax: Sit outside on the porch(or in the hammock), let my mind wander, read a book, go for a run/ workout, write in my journal my thoughts for the day, have a cup of coffee, those are just a few things i do... it can be fun to just set time aside for yourself each day, life CAN be VEry overwhelming at times and we need the escape to refresh our souls!

Food is also a big factor in the way our day goes... the better foods you eat, the better you will feel throughout your day!

I'm so in love with life, i can't help but be excited to see what each day brings and to just try and enjoy every moment!!! :D

New Beginning

I'm so happy right now i cant even explain it in words! you never know where life is gonna take you... if you treat life well it will treat you well!

ive been on weightwatchers for almost 5 weeks now and im enjoyin the things ive been learning from it.. i havent done the best i can do with the way i eat but i have definately limited a few things on the list. im tryin to get healthier for myself and to feel better about myself as a person. working out has been a huge help in that, i love the way working out makes me feel, it puts a smile on my face even if my morning wasnt going that great.i love it! This week im going to try and do a little better with the food choices i make.

i also wanna try some new recipes from the new weightwatchers complete cookbook. i might write a little about some of the recipes on here.

anyways.. thats all for now.

Recent LIfe

i've been learning the ropes of homeownership.. (some good things and some not as good) the bills are the worst part as most people would probably agree, but i wouldnt trade it for anything.
I have really been pondering what i want to do with the reason of my life... and i came to the conclusion that i just wanna go with whatever is thrown at me. i love to be spontanous and do crazy things. I'm trying to get out and just enjoy every minute of my life even if it is just a lazy day watching movies or if i am out with friends, every moment is special no matter what you are doing.
I'm really into wineries,reading, and i look for any oppurtunity to try different fun things.. one of these days i want to go to seven oaks in boone and go tubing. i love life! :D
I'm all about getting the most out of life as are most people. i really take it seriously!
