Another Friday, another peek into the chaos, calm, and everything in between. Here's what’s been on my mind this week…
ONE.
Since my last weight update, I’ve lost another pound. The last two weeks have been a bit rough, but honestly? A loss is a loss, and I’m happy to be making progress no matter how slow. There are days when I’m eating ice cream and being “bad,” and the thoughts running through my head are: “I’m living life! This is what life’s all about! Life is too short not to enjoy it!” And then on the good days, I’m thinking: “this is fine! I can do this! The sacrifices are worth it! I want to be healthy and happy!” My brain? It’s crazy. I’m all over the place. As long as the scale is moving down though, I’m happy.
TWO.
My best friend is getting married tomorrow! It’s been an awesome and crazy week so far, and I’m SO looking forward to standing next to Taylor tomorrow as her matron of honor. The rehearsal dinner was last night (picture above of myself, Katie, and Taylor at the rehearsal… my best friends!), and tonight us girls are all staying together in a hotel. I’m so thrilled for Taylor and Will. I love them so much! Also, please send good thoughts my way tomorrow night as I give my speech and SEND TISSUES!
THREE.
Jerry and I booked an overnight stay at an all-inclusive couples only resort in the Poconos for our second wedding anniversary in October! We haven’t gotten away since our honeymoon, so even though it’s only a night, I’m really, really excited. Our suite has its own heart-shaped jacuzzi, small pool, and dry sauna… all IN our room! AHHHH! It’s about a four hour drive and will be our first ever roadtrip together. Caleb will be staying the night with his grandma and I’m sure will gets lots of love and kisses from the grandparents and probably won’t even miss us.
FOUR.
Jerry and I have been working on remodeling our bathroom for ohhhh… about a year? We took a big step in the remodeling process by finally replacing our ugly vanity, brown sink, and light fixture. Thank you to my very handy Florida grandpa for the assistance! We love it.
FIVE.
Let’s talk books for a second. I am about 30 pages away from the end of Me Before You finally. It’s taking me about a month or so to finish a book right now. I know… it’s very sad. But as I watch Caleb jump up in his bouncy seat right this very second, I realize that I will get back to reading more when the time is right. For now, I’m trying to read the best books possible since I’m not getting through as many as I used to right now. If you have any epic book suggestions, please feel free to leave them below. I also haven’t bought books in awhile because diapers and formula! BUT! I joined an awesome blogger book swap where each person gets matched up with another blogger and we send and receive bookish packages. I’m excited to put my package together and also to receive one! I believe we will be doing a few rounds a year, so this is a fun way to get my book fix!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! You’ll probs catch me dancing my butt off tomorrow night on the dance floor and trying not to cry during the big speech. It’ll be a night of many emotions! Here's a sweet photo of Taylor and Caleb in honor of her big day!
