Adios Summer 2015



Well it's official, my summer has ended. I went into my school today and spent my day prepping my classroom. It's a bittersweet feeling as I know that for the next 10 months I pretty much devote my life into being the best teacher I can be, which tends to takes time away from friends, family and loved ones but my goal this school year is to lighten my load and take care of myself as well. 
So as my summer ends I want to reflect on all the amazing, and not so amazing things that made my summer absolutely unforgettable. To start, my sweet nephew, James turned 4! I can not believe how fast time goes by. We had a fun time celebrating his pirate themed bday party with him.
 I also got married (as if you didn't know). Jeremy gave me my dream wedding and everything was so perfect. Possibly my favorite experience in my whole life, being surrounded by my friends and family and devoting my life to the man of my dreams.  
Another great thing about this summer was all the time I was able to spend with my best girlfriends, at the pool, running races, at my parents etc. Jackie, Maria and my sister and I had so many fun times together and I Feel so lucky to have been able to share so many memories with them and their kiddos this summer. I also was able to spend time with my swole-mate Beth as we competed in Cg games prelims. That girl is my rock when it comes to staying focused and motivated. I'm so thankful to have her in my life. 
Jeremy and I were also able to spend time at the lake house with his family and enjoyed the new paddle boards and in general escaping the "busy, city life." We enjoyed lots of laughs and fun times with his family, including all his family from KY who came in during the summer. 
I also found out this summer that my sister is having a baby, it came as a shock to all of us but now I can't wait to meet my future niece or nephew in February 2016. 
Although  this summer had so many great things I also experienced some very difficult times. The loss of our Family dog,Faith was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I know putting her down was the right thing to do but I miss her and think about her so much. At times it just hits me and I can literally hear the last breath she took. I will always love her and remember her.  Along with Faith, Our family Friend, Henry ( Poppa) passed away on Father's Day. He was a great friend and  My family considered him family. I have so many great memories of being on his ranch in Blanco with all of my friends and our families. A few days after our wedding we also found out that Jeremy's grandfather passed away and although I only met him once I know he had such a kind soul and genuinely a sweet man.
 I know that as time goes by and I get older, I will begin to loose the people in my life and although I may see it unjust I need to trust in God in his timing and just enjoy the  moments I have with them now. 
So that's what my summer  was all about, enjoying the moment with the people/animals that I love and trusting in Gods plan. 

*i have so many pics of this summer so as usual I put them together in a flip gram, check the our by clicking on the link.

4th of July

                                          Happy 4th of July!  Today ended up being an impromptu family day and it was so much fun. Since 4th of July ended  up being on a Wednesday we didn’t have anything planned since J had to work yesterday and will work tomorrow as well. So we were just going to hang out at my moms house, but then over a stream of text this morning we ended up making plans to go to Fort Worth and spend the day there with my sister’s family.  We stopped on the way @cousinsbarbecue it was our first time to eat their food and it did NOT disappoint. We ordered chicken, ribs, sausage and chopped brisket, along with fried okra, black eyed peas and slaw. The fried okra and ribs were my absolute favorite but honestly all of it was delicious. When you head to Fort Worth don’t foreget to check out  Cousins Barbecue We spent some time ...

Our Dream Home

October 21, 2015 When Jeremy and I first started dating we would go to neighborhoods and look at houses being built, and just imagine what it would be like to own a house of our own together. It was always one my favorite "dates" with him. we would talk about the specific changes we would make to the house to make it unique and we would pick other houses apart. Being with him and looking at houses always felt right. :)  A year ago around my birthday I remember Jeremy saying he found this community that was building Shaddock homes (which was always one of my favs) so I went and checked out the model home and fell in love. Then when Jeremy showed me the lot he wanted for us, it literally felt perfect.   I didn't think we'd actually be blessed enough to start the process of building a home and ending up with what is truly our Dream House. We both have worked so hard to be able to accomplish this goal that we reached out for and I thank God for blessing us with this beaut...

8 week Results

I’ve officially been taking Ketones for 8 weeks so here’s my update! Since my last measurements done 4 weeks ago I’ve only lost 1.2lbs but my total weight loss since starting ketone has been 5.2lbs! Which is pretty amazing! However I’m not too worried about the weight loss because as you can see I’m loosing inches y’all! In these past 4 weeks I’ve lost a total of 4.6 inches which means in 8 weeks I’ve lost about 8in total. I’m seeing results physically but let’s also talk about the other benefits, I still love the energy the Ketones are giving me, I only take one pack a day in the morning and can fast until about  11am  (Lunch time) , basically fasting for 16 hours. One day I plan to do a 24 hour fast while only taking ketones. I’ll let y’all know how that goes.  Sleeping has been amazing, and what’s crazy is I can remember my dreams now, although some I’d rather forget. My cravings continue to decrease, maybe it’s the fact that now I know how many carbs are ...
