Sausage Biscuit + Dreams & Aspirations!

 

Good Morning, friends!

I just got done with a nice 30 minute jog.  It was a little hot out, but I got up early enough to beat the intense Southern heat.  I love getting out before the sun’s coming up because sometimes you catch the most beautiful scenes.  Mine this morning wasn’t exactly the best I’ve ever seen, but I can’t help but love anytime I see sun peeking through trees!

BREAKFAST this morning consisted of a nice cup of coffee that my dad made before heading out on his morning walk {Sometimes I like to treat myself with whipped cream.} And then one of my favorite’s: A vegetarian sausage biscuit.  I use Morning Star Farms sausage and Pillsbury Grand Flaky Layer biscuits.

I got this adorable mug c/o Racoon Spoon last Christmas!  It’s one of my favorites.

This morning on my jog, I was thinking about my dreams… and how they have developed over the years, from a child to an adult.  Did you know that at one point I wanted to be an ER surgeon? {I can thank Grey’s Anatomy for that!} And now… even though I would love to wear comfortable scrubs & shoes to work everyday, I can’t imagine actually enjoying that.  I’m so glad there are people who do though!  As a child, I more than likely wanted to be a teacher because me and my sisters would play school and I had to be the one teaching.  I used a podium, white board, & all!  It’s no surprise that I had a little entrepreneurial spirit in my though – I always wanted to play store, making my sisters purchase items that already belonged to them!  When I got to college though, I settled on business & marketing.  I love the concept of networking (hello!  Obviously why I probably enjoy blogging.)  I love the job I have now, it’s perfectly suited for me, but I know that I have other dreams and aspirations too.  Not that I would ever want to leave where I am now, but I want to eventually do MORE!  I’d like to start my own business.  I’d like to travel with my blog.  I’d like to publish an e-book or two.  I’d like to start a blog conference/workshop in the Southern region.  I’m 25 years old, with a lot that I’d still like to accomplish.  It’s just funny how your dreams change over time – heck, these may all change next year!

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!
