Rude people.
I am going to apologize in advance because I don’t normally post rants but this is going to be one. I know that I lead a healthy lifestyle. I do NOT restrict myself from food or drinks or activities with my friends because I am worried about getting “fat”. I try to eat the way I do because I literally have an intolerance to gluten. Not because I don’t WANT to eat pizza. Who doesn’t want pizza?? But if I ate it all the time I would be physically ill and covered in eczema all the time. I go to the gym 5 days a week because I LOVE it. It makes me feel better physically, emotionally and mentally. I don’t get mad at myself when I...

Read MoreTaking a Break from the Gym and a Mini-Meltdown
So exactly a week ago I posted this picture on Instagram and noticed that while I was getting leaner, I was also getting smaller. That morning my knee was also killing me so I didn’t do sprints. Then Friday night the Fatkid and I were getting ready for dinner when we both realized that I looked too thin and we figured out that I have lost about 5-6 pounds in the last few weeks. This is not good. It means even though I think I am handling all the stress well, my body is not. It was confirmed when I went to the gym Saturday morning for legs – my favorite thing to do – and I could barely push through. I decided on Sunday that this week I would set my...
Read MoreA long week.
The week that won’t end…. So I was debating whether or not to post about the horrifying shooting that happened in Connecticut yesterday, but I decided I couldn’t leave it out of this post because I spent six hours glued to the news yesterday as the story unfolded. What I will say about it is this, in the words of Morgan Freeman: “You can help by forgetting you ever read [the shooter's] name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem.” My heart goes out to all of the victims and families of this kind of violence. Not just this incident, but...

Read MoreBirthday, anniversary, and engagement pics!
So I have two recipes that I have been meaning to share with you guys and things have just completely gotten away from me (again). Every time I think I have a handle on this semester with school/work/life, etc. I realize that I just don’t, so please bear with me through December because next semester’s load will be much better (I hope). I promise I will get the recipes to you soon The last few weeks have been crazy so I think I am just going to share my life in pictures with you guys First – It was the Fatkid’s 30th Birthday and our four year anniversary. I surprised him with a trip to Waikiki (which I have been secretly planning and saving...
Read MoreWeekend Recap and Wedding Update :))
So last weekend the Fatkid and I drove out to California to see his two sisters, mom, brother-in-law and niece. It was a great trip and while we were there I found my dress!! Finally although now that I found it I am freaking out about how soon the wedding is actually going to come – there is so much to do still. Mostly invitations and decorations – good thing I will have lots of help from my MOH – she is soooo good at all that creative stuff Here is a little photo re-cap of the weekend and I am trying a new recipe tonight with pumpkin so I will let you guys know how it turns out once I try it. Don’t forget you can still enter the HTC One...
Read Morebirthday and a break
So I know it has be forever since I posted – or at least it feels that way to me. Some things have been going on with me this summer that have been completely draining in every sense of the word – emotionally, physically, mentally. I actually decided to drop my second summer school class because I knew I just needed some extra down time. The thing is that with working and the school stuff I am doing (other than classes), the blog is really the first thing to take a hit when I need a break from things. I’m hoping for things to be back to normal soon but no promises. I am going to try to still post at least weekly but I just wanted to give you guys a...
Read Moreplanning a wedding and remembering loved ones :)
So we I spent last week interviewing photographers and then talking about them with the Fatkid. It. Was. Exhausting. I was running to lunch meetings between class and work or going after work and getting home super late. It was incredibly hard to decide between our final two and it really came down to personality and (let’s be honest) budget. I loved Kacey from About Love. and she and her sister Taylor grew up with my best friend and also photographed her wedding. She was also the first person I met with and I hate making decisions without having all the necessary info and so I felt like I needed to meet with more people prior to deciding. I met with three...
Read Morea LOT of updates rolled into one
So the last few weeks have been crazy with the engagement, finals, finishing up my externship and heading to NY for a wedding. And some things have changed that I want to share with you guys but first a quick re-cap on what we’ve been up to and what I am loving right now. Wine tasting in Napa and of course the engagement still smiling about this. Then we were back for a minute and off to NY for a wedding. It was beautiful and I LOVE the idea of a photo booth at the wedding. Of course my soon to be mother in law got me my favorite apple pie from Kreig’s – the most amazing little bakery in Hampton Bays. And last but not least I am kind of...
