SO let the journey begin!!!

Ok first I start off with a disclaimer!!!
            I am not a workout person, this is not bragging, this is not thinking I did something unbelievable

What this IS about is my journey and sharing it with others in the hope it is inspiration or the hope that I will be encouraged. I am a people person and I do thrive off of other people and their encouragement or their discouragement whatever that person chooses to feed me!

Today I ran 1 mile in 13:52....not a world record but it is a start for myself. I also did some arm and leg workouts. I know my starting weight and yet I am still too vulnerable to say it on here quite yet. I dont know if it is because I am too afraid and care what people think or if it is a cautious thing on my part in case I do not lose the weight like I hope. Maybe because I have failed other times I don't want to put myself out there!!!

But anyway I am excited I ran a mile with only walking 4 minutes and thats good for  me!!!

So let the journey begin!!!

1. Why did you create this blog?
My reason for this blog is not because I have an amazing story to tell, or something to share that is heart wrenching or anything of extreme measures...it's simple...this is the life of an ordinary 22 year old female living life...going to school, working, and living!

2. What kind of blogs do you follow?
I love to follow blogs about people I can relate to...yes that may mean young adult women living their lives. I do read those that are of struggles and hopes getting worked out. I follow those who believe in the same things that I believe in!

3. Your favorite make up brand?
My mom would love for me to say Mary Kay...and it's true I do like their eyeliner and mascara the best that I have ever tried! Everything else would be just a cover girl sorta thing :)

4. Your favorite clothing brand?
Let me start this off with I am not a fashion icon or even close! I love to be comfortable when I am at home in my sweats (CHAMPION) and sweatshirts or whatever is comfy and warm! Besides that I just wanna look cute and professional while in school and at work. Except when I work retail because I get to wear what we sell which is nice comfy clothes :)

5. Your indispensable make-up product?
Is chap stick considered make-up?? Only kidding...sorta! I love chap stick! It is pretty addicting! But other than that I do love my loose powder from Cover girl and mascaras AT LEAST!

6. Your favorite color?
Reading this post and blog can easily tell you my favorite color is PINK! I'm a girly girl when it comes to pink! I love zebra print and pink together....not that zebra is a color, but I love it!!!

7. Your favorite film?
This is such a difficult question...it always is! I love movies! They are my favorite...Lifetime movies, Hallmark movies, Blockbusters, Best selling, or just independent films I love them! However I do love The Blind Side, Remember the Titans, Fox and the Hound...and lots more its incredible!

8. Your favorite perfume?
Well I love Pink from Rue 21, and Sexy Hot Pink from Victoria's Secret!

9. What country would you like to visit and why?
Have we SEEN P.S. I love you???? IRELAND here I come!!!!

10. Write the last question and answer it yourself.
What's your favorite food?

I love pizza, or any Italian...and I love Seafood!!!!


All of this is just a little about me and what I love!!!
Have a good weekend Bloggers :)

Brrr...Its Cold Here

I am not a fan of cold weather or rain and today we have both :(

Today my sister's niece Landry went into surgery. I cannot remember all the details but it is a very serious surgery on her head. The last update I got things were going well. I can only pray for Landry, the doctors, and the family. Please dear readers if you may please pray for the rest of surgery to go well and a great recovery. Landry has a 4 year old brother and so I pray that he just understands why mommy and daddy and Landry have been away! It would be a very hard situation to understand!! I am so thankful for a God who listens to every prayer of His children!

Thanks everyone!!

its been awhile

but I guess not a lot has changed!

I had a bad week. Not like terrible terrible things happening but it was a week where everything seemed to be piling up...even the small things. It was something to write about but I probablly would have cried through it so I guess it is good to just recap! To help I have great friends...so we had a sleepover!!! Yes it was fun to feel like I was 12 again....we did not do much but I think it is still what I needed. A lazy day with good friends! The week has gotten better so I am thankful for that!

Lets see any big plans this week??? Saturday I get to go with my friend Heather and watch her try on wedding dresses :)) Oh I love weddings and especially when it is a friend! I also have to try on bridesmaid dresses...not as much fun! I am super proud of myself though because I have already been saving money for both dresses I have to get for summer weddings! So money?? going good so far  Weight Loss?? working on it!! If anyone has suggestions or ideas or blogs to follow to help in that department I am listening :)

Also I have been subbing a lot. And I did not know half the things these kids do now days...not in school but just in life. Things I didn't know at least til high school and maybe college!!! Blows my mind!!!

Well thanks for listening (reading) to my rambling!!! Hope everyone has a blessed and safe weekend!!!

A Great time to give Thanks

I feel like October came and went (with some birthdays in between) and now it is November! I love November for the simple fact of I love Thanksgiving but more than just the food. It is a wonderful time to really think about all we have to be thankful for. First I am thankful for Jesus Christ who is my Lord and Savior. I am also thankful I live in America where I am free and able to vote today! I am thankful for wonderful Christian parents who love me and brought me up in the church. I am thankful they are here with me! I am thankful for my sister and my best friend. She is always there for me even though she has a crazy two year old :) Who I am also very thankful for. He is the best little guy and I love him to pieces even if he is totally rotten :). I am thankful for my brother (in-law) that he loves my sister and Greyson and works hard for his family. I am thankful I get to go to school to pursue a career I am passionate about. I am thankful that I have 2 jobs when times are so tough. I am thankful for my friends new and old....the ones that know just what to say and when to say it and the ones that just make me laugh. My life is good and even when little things go wrong or aren't in my favor I need to relax and take a breath becasue so much in my life is good.

That is something I need to work on now that I think about it. I am a very fun outgoing person who tries so hard to be just laid back. It is hard for me. I can be an anxious person. I love to know the answers to things and I like to know them immeadiately. I guess that'd be that I am not a very patient person. It is something I definately need to work on. I easily get worked up about things. I guess I am passionate about certain things and very emotional and I can admit that even if it does cause problems a lot of the time. I let my emotions get the best of me and I need to take a breather and calm down because usually they aren't as big of a deal as I make them out to be. I stress when I don't need to and basically I need a large chill pill :) But writing in the blog really has given me an outlet. I say what I need to say (most of the time :) ) and just put it out there and accept feedback.

Ok those are my thoughts for the day! Please vote becasue we are very priveledged to do so :)

Love!!!
