Just dropping in...

Hello all,

I have been away for a LONG time, but things have been a little crazy around here. We went on a trip to a beautiful wedding and school has started... well silly little me decided not to order any books until after classes started to see which ones I would "really" need... turns out I "really" need all of them... it also turns out that ordering them online (not through amazon), really can take up to 2 weeks for you to get them... it also turns out that grad school has no mercy when it comes to assigning readings immediately, and every day, so I have been playing the reading catch up game for a while and my mind is feeling it!

I know I am doing the post by the letter thing but today I am just going to do a quick post just to drop in since it's been a while... I will continue with the letter "J" in my next post!

SO today is going to be just a few of my favorite things lately!


Road trips to the U.P. .... for a wedding :)




My guy caught the guarder and I caught him running away with the little lady who caught the bouquet.....


Cute little backyard weddings....


Getting pictures of cute little babies :)


ICED COFFEE and lots and lots of time spent in front of this computer...


and I'm learning Braille!!

Those are just a few of my favorite things that have been going on in my life lately... as far as exercise goes, since I am so busy lately, I make a strong effort to get up early each morning and get to the gym before classes start.... this is a must for me both mentally and physically. It starts the day off to a great start. It gets my metabolism going and I feel like I have plenty of energy to get me through the day (along with coffee)...
but it is important mentally as well... since fitness has become a complete part of my lifestyle, when I skip a day that isn't a rest day, it is all I think about throughout the day... it's really a mind game, but it keeps me motivated to get up in the morning and go.... Having my man work early mornings helps too with the whole waking up process...

well that's all for today, I promise I will have more workout things and recipes up soon!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
