Now You're My Whole Life

I would say Thank God it's Friday, but every day this week has been a great one! I am thankful for Friday though because Ryno will be home soon and we can enjoy the weekend together! ~ONE~ I am in love (read obsessed) with the photo session Ryan, Vann, and I had last night with Michele ! I was praying, texting Mom and Ryan to pray, and trying not to stress out because all day the weather report was storms, heavy winds, and cloud to ground lightning beginning at 4! Thankfully, it held out for our entire session, and I really could not ask for more! Here's a special sneak peek! ~TWO~ Pumped doesn't even explain how excited I am about Father's Day! Ryan has an awesome gift coming his way. He thinks he already knows what it is, but I am thinking he will be surprised when he opens it up! He is going to be the best Daddy. Blessed I tell ya...I am blessed! ~THREE~ One more weekend until my brother and his sweet Alexis get married! The details of ...

Happy Sunday! I am linking up for another edition of Sunday Social! What is your ideal way to relax? Hmm! To relax I normally put on my pjs or something comfy and grab my computer or a book to read blogs or pin. MY IDEAL way to relax would be in MX at Iberostar Grand Paraiso where we went for our honeymoon. I would be at the spa getting another one of their amazing massages and relaxing in the heated indoor pool. Yep, that's my IDEAL way! Where is your favorite place to be? Hmm! This will make me sound boring to a lot, but honestly it's in my chair sitting next to my hubby and laughing with him. I love when I am anywhere with him, but it's nice to be relaxed right beside him! Who do you consider your biggest role model? That's super hard, but aside from my amazing mama, I would say some of the amazing leaders in AdvoCare along with the Women of Faith ladies.  I really like Kelly Minter. She's just honest and lives for God! What does yo...

I wanted to share with you what I am loving today! {1} I am going to be an Advocare junkie for life! I have such an excitement for it. My family and friends are all feeling good because of it too. I posted this weekend about my progress so far - 5+ lbs down and a couple of inches.  I wanted to share with you what my best friend, Danielle, said about her whole 24 Day Challenge! {I am on day 24}! I will be doing my exact measurements tomorrow and posting! From Danielle : I completed the Advocare 24 –Day Challenge last week….and I honestly could not be more thrilled with the results!! On day 2 (the herbal cleanse phase), I was feeling SO much energy!! I couldn’t believe it!!  By day 11 , I stepped on the scale and was down 5 lbs! That is HUGE for me because I have been the same weight for the last 2 years- even while training for 2 full marathons!! (No, I did not lose a single pound- even while running 40+ miles a week!) At the end of my challenge, I am proud to say...

  These are a few of my favorite things! My bff, Danielle, is hosting a fabulous linkup! I love the idea, and I will be sharing my favorite things in her linkup!    When I think about my favorite things, this is what comes to my mind! I really feel great in my Nike Phantom shorts. Mine are hotpink with a pink band and white words! Talk about POP! They have an awesome liner along with the coolest band! I love seeing the Just Do It . . . the motivation that little phrase brings is unbelievable! Peanut Butter...what a fatty I am! It seriously makes me so happy! Bad isn't it? I have a spoonful in my smoothie every morning. Am I alone in this love affair with Jif? Lotion...not just any lotion but Bath & Body Works True Blue Shea Butter. It's amazing. I wash my hands a ton . . . life of a teacher. When it gets down to it, I don't want to be a lizard handed gal. I use the lotion a lot, but it lasts even after a good number of washes. I have to put it on in the a...

It's ok...that is my signature phrase! If you don't believe me, ask Julie! She cracks up when I say, "it's ok". It's about time I have written a post today. It's ok . . . that I haven't finished my ever-lengthy Christmas blog post. that I haven't updated our fun and relaxed New Year's Eve post. that I have a pile of MY laundry the size of Mt. Rushmore to finish. Ryan does his own, thank heavens!!! that Lyla chewed up 1 of Ryan's running shoes, and he wears it to the gym with the back chunk torn off. *Oh no, what will people think about us? It's ok, right?! that I have 3 crafts that are waiting in limbo for me to begin/finish! that this week has gone by in a flash! It's ok, because tomorrow is Friday! Happy Thursday! Did you get everything done this week?

Wow, is it Friday yet? I do love that today is one of my favorite blog days. I am going to throw my pins in with what I am loving today and this MONTH! December is even better as I get older. Thank God for the greatest gift of all. Andy Stanley is going through the genealogy of Jesus at church. I love his series that we get at church. This one is called "An Unexpected Christmas" and focuses on Matthew throwing in some unusual people in Jesus' family tree. If you want to check it out, go here! You won't be disappointed! I love that we had our first round of Christmas parties on Friday and Tuesday! We enjoy relaxing, hearing stories, and telling stories. I love that we have so many friends and family members in our lives to share life with! This week one or both of us has a party on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday! I can't wait! This does mean that I have to make it to the store to get some gifts for the Favorite Things and White Elephant games along with som...
