OH my goodness! I haven’t posted since November?! Things
have been pretty crazy around here!
Since my last post, Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and
gone and we are well into the New Year! We spent Thanksgiving with my family
and Christmas with Alex’s. It was a lovely time and a very busy couple of months! As nice as it was to see everyone and
spend lots of time with family, I am glad to be home and getting back to our
normal routine. This week was the first full week back to work after the break
we took for Christmas and it’s been rough! I’m definitely ready for the
weekend.
Since we’ve been home, we haven’t had too much going on
other than getting our lives back in order from traveling so much. Getting back
into all the routines has been challenging (work, chores, cooking, etc..). I
decided I wanted to learn how to knit a couple days ago and went and bought
myself some knitting needles! As you can tell, things have been pretty low key!
Starting on January 15th, I will be starting the
Advocare 24 Day Challenge! A coworker is also starting that day so we can keep
each other accountable through the process. The 24 Day Challenge is a great
kick start to a healthier way of life and I personally know many people who
have had great success with it! Check out the link here for more info! (This is
not a sales pitch – I do not sell or distribute Advocare products. I’m just an
excited costumer!)
In preparing to do the challenge, I wanted to do some online
research and read some real reviews from REAL people who completed the
challenge and what their thoughts/results are. Even though my search results
brought up many pages of sites to look through, I really didn’t find a lot of
what I was looking for as far as reviews. This led me to decide that throughout
my process of the challenge, I will post updates here!
Alex and I decided to set some goals for our year. It was
really nice to chat about that on New Years Day when we were driving down the
coast back to our little town from the Bay Area. Some of our goals include:
Reading more books (at least 10!) – me
Exercising at least 4
days a week – him
Going on one vacation! – us
Write letters to our future babies – us
It was so nice to get back on the same page about where we’re
headed and what our goals are… there are definitely more of them, but this is
just a taste. We want to be more Kingdom minded and focusing on good things
this year! This year will be one of transitions with him finishing up his
Master’s Degree and beginning to work full time! One thing that is so evident
to us is that time keeps moving forward, even when we don’t! Reconvening on
where our life is headed was a breath of fresh air!
I am also participating in the Carabox exchange through
Wifessionals! It has connected me to two very lovely ladies who live in CA and
getting to know them has been so fun. I can’t wait to put a box together and to
receive one! I’m really starting to take a lot of joy in the blogging community
and all it has to offer as far as support and other women who are in the same
phase of life! And let me just say, Kaitlyn over at Wifessionals is a wonderful lady! It's because of her blog that I really started to grasp what the blogging world has to offer. It's really a joy to read her posts.
How was everyone else’s
holiday season? I would love to hear about it! I will also take any and
all 24 Day Challenge advice! January 15th is approaching quickly!
Look out for a post of pictures soon from Thanksgiving and
Christmas, and also look out for updates on the challenge!
xoxo
