Freaking Friday.

I can't believe it is Friday December 19th. This day is a big deal for several reasons:

1. It's my Mothers birthday! Happy Birthday Mom - I love you!!! 
2. It's my LAST day of "working for the man" and Saturday I'll be officially self-employed.
3. The movers are coming-- the movers are coming! (This weekend) 

I've sorta been running around with my head cut off the last two days getting everything ready. I've also been working out like a crazy person because I'm sad about leaving and I want to eat cookies next week. I did a double both Monday and Tuesday night along with a MMAXOUT class on Thursday so I'd say it's been a damn good week. I also keep walking into stores and thinking, "This is the last time I'm going to be at this Trader Joes possibly for the rest of my ENTIRE life." CRAZY.

BUT I'm also really excited to get home. I can't wait to start the next chapter in our life! Things are really good right now and I'm really looking forward to enjoying some time off with my husband. Although, I have to say that I'm even MORE excited about starting a business with him. Big things ahead for us!

Before all that happens though we've got a tour to do. We are starting our eleven day road trip/tour the day after Christmas and while I plan on blogging along the way - please forgive me for sporadic postings.

In other news this week - did you know that FAT leaves your body by breathing it out!?! I am blown away at this and I can't believe no one told me sooner. I spent all last night in MAXXOUT making SURE I was taking deep breaths in and deep breaths out. If that's all it takes I'll be the girl in the back of the room sounding like she's in labor. WHATEVER IT TAKES YO.

Oh and my friend took her dog to the groomer this week and this wouldn't usually be news worthy but apparently her dog is crazy and has to be stabilized to get her feet trimmed...

Hahahahahaha I can't stop laughing at this. I love that dog. Terra and I actually met at the dog park one random day a few years ago in Washington and now we are best friends. I'm going to miss these two but I'm pretty sure I can convince them to come visit Mississippi. I'm pretty bossy. 

Enjoy your weekend! I'll probably be on an air mattress without a TV to watch. 

Friday Things

What a crazy exciting week. I have to be honest and say that I think I had one of the BEST Monday mornings I've ever had in my life. We have been putting out some feelers to our friends and family in MS to find a decent two plus bedroom house to rent and last week I got a lead on my DREAM house. After a few phone calls and some praying we started playing the waiting game to hear if we would get this house. This house let me tell you goes BEYOND my wildest dreams. I saw it a year or so ago on the market for sale but we weren't in MS yet or ready to buy a house so, I moved along and prayed that God would lead us in the right direction when the time came. God listens. Oh my word the gratitude and humbleness I feel right now brings me to tears. So, Monday morning I woke up bright eyed at 5AM because I just couldn't wait anymore to find out if we would be getting into this house. I made myself leave the owners alone for the weekend so they would have plenty of time to talk everything out and come to a decision and it almost killed me. Well, not really but I just couldn't stop thinking about it. If we landed this house it would be the perfect match, the perfect timing, and we wouldn't have to live with any of our relatives in January! I admit I was looking forward to living with Chads Grandmother for a few weeks but it always feels better to get your own place and have your own things at your finger tips. Long story short - WE GOT THE HOUSE!

I am still in shock really at how quickly this happened and how perfectly it all lined up. It gives me the same feeling I had when we moved up to Seattle - things just fell into place and everything felt RIGHT. It's moments like that when I know that God is driving our life and all of our choices. Only He could smooth out a path like this and bless us with everything we have worked and prayed for. I know that we are making the right move; I know we are doing what He is calling us to do and I will keep putting all my faith into Him for the rest of my life. I am so thankful - all the glory goes to God!

In other news this week (which so isn't as important as the above) I worked out a lot - had my last work Happy Hour with my amazing team - went out with my kickboxing family to say the dreaded goodbye (more on that Monday) - and mailed off our Christmas cards! It's been busy and this weekend is going to be crazy too. *More on that next week.

It's our last two weeks in Washington and we are going to make the most of it.

Now, some interesting things to look at:

1. 17 Badass Women You Probably Didn't Hear About in 2014

2.  I basically do Adriana Lima’s diet - Well not the Victoria Secret runway show prep part but the normal diet part. Low-Carb lovers unite!



She likes boxing too! We are twins.
 
3.  20 Nutrition Facts That Should Be Common Sense but they aren't READ IT!

I hate it when people tell me not to eat eggs.... #eatalltheeggs ! 

4. 39 Renaissance Babies Who JUST CAN'T EVEN!

* Articles 2 & 3 I saw because of my friend Theresa's page. If you're on Facebook you should LIKE her wellness page where she shares all kinds of GOOD info. She is a Registered Dietitian at Lifetime Fitness in Arizona and I trust what she puts out. She's also beautiful and sweet so if you're looking for advice about nutrition from someone that went to school for it contact her.

Happy Friday! I'm a happy girl today and I'm ready for the weekend. This week has been full of ups and downs but surprisingly I shook it all off and have been enjoying the good news. Well, I guess it's not good news yet but the possibility of GREAT news has me giddy with excitement. I refuse to pay attention to the unexpected $450 bucks I had to shell out for my car on Tuesday... I mean really. Car maintenance = stupid. I could have bought a new purse for that! Anyways, to close out a good week here are a few randomly awesome articles:

1.  ONE SIZE fits Most - What that really looks like on a 6 different women * 

Seriously, I HATE you stores that do this.


2.  10 True Crime Documentaries that will give you nightmares
Because I'm obsessed with Documentaries and serial killers. I've only seen the Paradise Lost ones from this list so now I have 9 new ones to scare myself with!




3.  10 things you DIDN'T know about the VAGINA 

I mean... I only knew one thing from this list!

This makes me calling my period week "Shark Week" even more valid. 

 Now, I want to know who gave it the name because you KNOW it was a MAN.

4.  Impossibly cool gifts you should spend your money on this year. 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!??!? Someone please spend $275 on a replica of little Olive for me. There is A LOT of cool stuff on that list too - not all 275 bucks either. Check it out!


5.  29 Old People Rocking Highly Inappropriate T-Shirts.
