New Blog: Transition!

 

Good morning!

This has been a long anticipated transition.  I had been using my previous blog, From Here to There, for some time, but the name no longer fit this season in my life since I’m no longer moving around or figuring out my place in life.  I lost interest and stopped blogging over the past month or so.  I became a vegetarian back in January and so my “dead” blog (Yes, No Bologna did exist once before) has been revived and is now what you see today!  I’ll keep From Here to There up for another week or so, but if you enjoy reading my previous blog, then you’ll want to make sure you follow along here so you don’t miss anything when the transition is complete!

Yesterday morning I went on a good run.  It was more intervals than anything because I was pretty sore in my butt & calves.  I’m starting to notice that I sweat more and I’ve heard that people who are in better shape sweat a whole lot, so I’m hoping that’s the case and not single-handedly because it’s June in Mississippi!

sweaty-runNick came into town for the weekend, after my run, we all went to eat mexican for Father’s Day.  It was delicious, per usual!  I got my typical rice w/ sauteed veggies & cheese dip.  After lunch we needed to pick up my dad’s gift and settled on a gardening hat & mockingbird feeder for his garden.  He loved it and hung up the feeder right away!  My sisters were also in town this weekend, so we played some Phase 10 and ate up some watermelon – which is quite possibly my all time favorite summer snack!

 We are also saying “See ya real soon!” {in my best Mickey voice} to Nick’s brother and sister-in-law as they move on to Florida!!  While we went to Disney back in May, we picked up our baby gifts.  We finally gave them those yesterday and they LOVED them, of course!  Baby has his very first signature book and the softest, cutest little baby Mickey rattle!

 The love I have for these people is unreal!  So blessed to have them in my life! Also, that fuschia top is my fave!  I got it through Stitch Fix (affiliate link!)

Nick and I also went to see 22 Jump Street and it was HILARIOUS!  I was skeptical, but I laughed throughout the whole thing and loved it!! 

Now I’m off to work, but hope y’all have a great Monday!

  • Have you seen 22 Jump Street Yet?  Did you love it or hate it?
  • What’s your favorite summertime snack?

 

May #bloggerbliss

May has been an incredibly busy, but wonderful month!  I haven’t had a chance to blog much lately and I have some changes being made as I type, but I’m excited to be here for Bliss!  I love sharing my favorite things from the month and I hope you do too!  Link-up below with me and Meg!

I spent a lot of time with these two pups this month!  I stayed with Nick’s sister-in-law since for a week this month.  These two LOVE some attention.  They were helping me apply for a part time job at our local Y.  I haven’t purchased a membership to a gym yet because I’d love to just work part-time at one and get a free membership – that’s not looking too good though.  Oh well.

Also, Nick’s sister-in-law had her parents in town during the month.  They knew I was staying with her for a few days and so while they were all at lunch together, they sent her home with a cookie for me!  Truly the way to my heart forever!
It was so delicious!  I tried to eat just half of it at work, but that baby was gone before I knew it!
Nick and I went to Florida as a “graduation present” of sorts for him, so we of course went to Disney World!!  Per usual, we had a blast!  We really wanted to try one of these gigantic cinnamon rolls at Gaston’s Tavern and it did NOT disappoint.  Luckily, we’re extremely active at Disney, so we burned those calories right off… maybe?
Speaking of Nick’s graduation, that did in fact happen and I’m so proud of him!! He’ll be continuing on to Grad School now, yay!!!
During the month of May, I also raised $306 for Diabetes and completed my 25 mile bike ride!! Everything about that day was perfect!  The ride was perfect, the weather was perfect, everything was perfect!  I’m so glad Nick snapped this great picture of my coming in from the race!
I was in Starkville this past weekend and we did some grocery shopping for Nick before I left.  He was trying to come up with good breakfast options that require minimal dishes.  I remembered this microwave egg cooker that I thought he’d enjoy and we found it at Walmart.  He sent me a picture yesterday saying that it worked out really well and he enjoyed his egg sandwich this yesterday morning!

This month has been really great and I had a lot of favorite moments (not as many favorite things).  I’m so thankful for the people in my life and joy they bring me!
Let’s see what your favorites were for the month, link-up below!

I need a first sentence generator

Do you ever struggle with the first sentence?  I’ve been struggling with the first sentence because there is nothing in the world that would make this post round out.  It’s random, I have a million little things on my mind and we’re about to cover a multitude of those!  Also, if you have a secret “First sentence blog post” generator, pass that along!
$280.00
I have raised $280 for Diabetes!  My ending goal is $300, so I’ll definitely make my goal!  The race is this Saturday, 4 days away.  I have one more training ride tomorrow.  Some joints are pretty sore right now, but overall I’m pleased with the end of my training.  It shows possible thunderstorms on Saturday though and I’m gonna be honest – if it’s pouring rain or thundering, I will NOT be riding.  I’ll happily donate my money and go about my merry way to Florida.
Florida.
After my race, we’re going to Florida and I’m so excited!  Lots of fun will be had in Florida between Saturday and Wednesday.  I’m at the frustrating point where it’s hard to concentrate on work, but at the same time, I need to make sure everything is done before I leave.  I find myself daydreaming about where I’ll be in 4 days, but then realize that I won’t get there if I don’t get my crap together! haha.  It’s been distracting!  Only 3 more days of work and then I’m free!  {Don’t get me wrong, I love my job}
Cinco de Mayo.
I enjoyed a margarita, queso dip, and rice w/ veggies.  It was fun, it was wonderful, and I didn’t snap any great pics.  #fail  We had an entire section of the restaurant singing along to some American songs w/ a Mexican accent haha.
Re-branding.
I still have this on my mind.  It feels necessary at this point.  Who knows when it will happen though.
Stitch Fix.
Do you get Stitch Fix?  I’ve been contemplating it for so long and I finally did it!  I only signed up for 1 so I could get an idea of how it works.  From what I hear, it can be expensive and I’m so cheapo with my clothes, so I’m not sure it’ll be for me.  It’s worth one try though.  My box comes tomorrow!  I’ll be sharing my fix and my thoughts and the pricing and EVERYTHING.  So if you’ve been thinking about doing it, then check back for that!
Broken Hearted.
I know you’ve all been aware of the precious little red-headed boy that went to be with Jesus Friday night.  Reading all of the instagram shares broke my heart in two.  I will be praying for this sweet little family and the pain they’re feeling.  I only ask that you do the same.
Hug those you love a little tighter tonight and remember this precious family (and the many many many other families who have to suffer through the same devastation) in your prayers.
