For Real - Friday, Friday!

For Real... We were married 10 months this week - on 8/22 to be exact.  It was a spectacular day. Yes, I like to celebrate every milestone in our lives. I know, 10 months isn't much yet it feels like we have been living this life forever, but not.  It's weird to think about.  There are a couple things I know though - best decision of my life and I wouldn't trade the love and goofiness of that sweet man for anything in this world.  Not anything.

For Real.... I am feeling completely torn between beautifying my house and beautifying myself.  I mean, it shouldn't have to be one or the other, but I get so obsessed caught up in one that I forget about the other.  Currently I am decorating and re-decorating our house in my head.  There are pain samples ALL OVER and I change my mind every second.  Once I get it right in my head it will move into real life.  Ugh, my brain hurts from thinking about it and my shopping for self is severely lacking.  Like, I can't even remember where to shop - while the husband is doing handstands in the background I am wondering if I have seriously gone nuts.


For Real...  I decided today was the day to start running again.  I had the best of intentions of running one million miles and then feeling super proud of myself after.  One million may be an exaggeration, but I was hoping for 6 or 8 and then be super surprised because I was sure I would look down at the red numbers on the treadmill and see a big fat number 10!  It didn't happen.  Not even close.  I looked down and saw 1 and 1.12 and 1.14 and 1.67 and thought - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!   It happens.  I know that not all days are days where you feel like you could run across the country. Literally.  Especially when you are coming back from an injury and you haven't run for an entire Summer.  An ENTIRE Summer!  I should have lowered my expectations so I wouldn't be so deflated and I should have lowered my goal because I know better {and I teach better}.  It would be plain stupid to try to run 10 miles out of the gate.  Even still,  it's sad to remember when...

For Real... Pinterest.  Do you know about it?  Thanks to sweet Jessi, now I know.  Basically, it's a website where you can virtually "pin" pictures that inspire you.  Home decor, clothes, shoes, quotes - just stuff you need to remember for your life!  I know, I am  the last one to the party, but it is SO MUCH FUN.  If you don't have an account you need one.  And if you do have an account, you can follow me and see all the beautiful ideas that I am stealing from other people. :)  I know, I just made your dreams come true. 

For Real... It's FRIDAY, FRIDAY!  Everyone's looking forward to the weekend, weekend!  I started singing the Friday song from bed this morning at 6am as Ben headed for the door to leave for work.  I woke up so excited that it's almost the weekend, weekend!  I have already decided it is going to be FANTASTIC!


Happy Weekend everyone... for real!

Hooray! I love that you have a blog! And can I just say that I am with you on everything you just said? Besides the being married 10 months part. You gave a great talk yesterday by the way. I meant to tell you that in person but then... I didn't. My bad.
