I've been encouraged by reading the blogs that some of my friends have started, so I'm resurrecting this old, abandoned blog. Much has happened since I posted last in 2011! Some not so great things, and some very awesome things!
The Best Thing That Happened
In June of 2012, I attended the wedding of a friend from college. The wedding was in the Keys and lots of college friends were there. There also happened to be a cute boy that caught my eye. This boy was the groom's brother. I knew both the bride and groom from college. I didn't keep it a secret that I thought Aaron was cute, and mentioned it to one of my friends who was a groomsmen. He reintroduced me to Aaron, even though we officially met the night before the wedding when everyone was hanging out. Aaron and I started talking and ended up talking the whole night. Well, the next day I had to drive back to Naples and Aaron was headed back to Columbus, OH.
We continued chatting, thanks to awesome technology and I decided to go up to Ohio to visit Aaron and my family that live up there. Well, we hit it off and continued dating long-distance, flying back and forth to see each other practically every month until Aaron graduated from grad school and moved down to FL. Then he proposed to me in November of 2013 and we were married 5 months later in May of 2014.
This was one of the biggest things that occurred in 2014. I became a Mrs!
The second biggest thing was that we bought a house!
Yes, we are homeowners. It has been so fun, so far. I loved being able to get all moved in before Christmas so that we were able to spend our first Christmas in our home!
I love living in our new home and I love our neighborhood.
It's 2015, guys!
Like most people, the New Year inspires me to start fresh and make goals. I've started off really well with my goals to get back on track with running and working out, but in addition, I've decided to eat better. I'm really excited to do the Advocare 24-day Challenge starting on Wednesday! I've never done any type of diet like this before, so it will probably be a bit of a challenge, but also a great way to get myself in gear with making healthy choices. I've already started with drinking more water and eating less processed foods and more fruits and veggies! In fact, yesterday and today I've only drank water and a small amount of black coffee!
I went grocery shopping yesterday and tonight to buy a bunch of lean proteins and fresh fruit and veggies. I'm going to have to be all about meal preparation in order to keep to eating the right things. Aaron grilled some chicken tonight, so I've got extra chicken for some other meals this week!
Here's what my shopping cart looked like tonight:
Anyhow, I'm going to use this blog to posts all sorts of things. I will use it to share recipes and workouts, home projects, my own personal thoughts, and music/book reviews.
Stay tuned for more and please comment if you have a blog and I will be sure to follow you!
Peace and love xx
