Salt Lake City got a foot of snow on Saturday – looks like Spring is not as near as I’d hoped. Usually, I’m the type to complain about the cold, but lately I’ve been challenged to accept it and even enjoy it. Last week, I went snowboarding for the first time in over a year. […]
It’s been about a month since I’ve posted. At first this felt like failure because I had a goal to post every Monday in 2018. Then I remembered my word for this year – GRACE – and I talked myself through the last month thinking when would i have had the time to sit down […]
Goodness, January flew by! I can’t believe the first month of 2018 is over – whoa. I love reflection. I have found a lot of value in processing what has happened in the past, and using it to gain perspective moving forward. This is a huge part of my relationship with God, as I can […]
I just realized this today, but this post is #50 on my blog! Sometimes I struggle to think of what to post about, while other times it flows out of me pretty easily. Today is one of those struggle days. Mostly because I barely slept last night & procrastinated writing this until this morning (oops). […]
I originally thought this post was just going to be about working out in the winter, but the more I thought about what I was writing, the more I realized I needed to talk about something else first: body image. To be completely transparent: my motivation for working out at all isn’t always what it […]
For about a year, one of my biggest struggles has been sleep. I would lay awake for hours, trying to fall asleep, stressing myself out. Constantly thinking – now I’ll get 7 hours of sleep, which is fine. Now I’ll get 6. Now I’ll only get 5 hours and I’ll be so tired at work […]
A few days ago, I was sitting across from my best friend in her house, chatting about her dream for the future. She had music playing in the other room as always, and I wasn’t really listening to it. All of a sudden, my ears picked up a familiar melody I hadn’t heard in years. […]
Being sick this entire week has forced me to slow down. I usually like being busy because it keeps me from thinking or feeling too much. My to do list is my shield – blocking out negativity. I’ve hidden behind it for years, but as I scrolled through Instagram and saw so many people reflecting […]
This time of year is exciting: decorating the house, trying out new recipes, preparing the house for guests, gifts under the tree, and lots of laughter. But it can also be an incredibly difficult time of year. This year, Nick & I decided we aren’t going home to Ohio for the holidays. Last year we skipped […]
Maui is by far the greatest vacation Nick & I have ever been on and we cannot wait to go back again! Get ready – this will definitely be the longest post I’ve ever done. There is SO much to talk about, so I divided it up into the following sections (feel free to skip […]
Waiting is terrible. Whether it’s waiting for your food to finish in the microwave (longest five minutes of my life), or your drink at Starbucks, or your wedding day, or someone to pick you up, or in a line at the grocery store, or your food to come at a busy restaurant, (apparently I like […]
Hey buddy, So today marks one year since you passed. Saying that is still strange, mostly because I don’t want it to be true. I have a really hard time with this because I don’t know how to properly express what I feel, I never have. But of course, you know that. You were the […]
