Okay so apparently I had a little mishap with my blog...I somehow managed to set it to private posts instead of public! So I was writing, but you couldn't see it. Whoops! I thought it was weird that NO ONE had commented AT ALL...I don't get a lot of action here but usually someone says something!
So without further ado, I put them all in one post so that you don't have to read a bunch of posts to get caught up.
Day 17:
A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life.
MUSIC!
Like I told you in a previous post, the music of Switchfoot changed my life and my relationship with God. Everyday music continues to inspire me and speak to me in ways that nothing else does. And I can't tell you how relaxing it is so sit down at the piano (keyboard for now!) and just play....I love it. I have recently started playing again after a small hiatus and it has been so wonderful!
Day 18 - A picture from your childhood.
Haha...helping Mom clean off the spoon while making some form of chocolately goodness :)
Day 19 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel.
I have always wanted to go to Australia. Koala bears, kanagroos, Sydney, the ocean...what more could you ask for?! Not to mention this is like the coolest picture ever...they are writing Australia with sparklers. Awesome!
Day 20 - A picture from a year ago.
April 8, 2010
Nicole called me up one morning asking if I wanted to rent a puppy with her...I had never heard of this before so I was of course intrigued! So the VCA...sorry, that is here in Illinois...haha, I can't remember the name, I think it was just the local animal shelter? Anyways, they brought these adorable puppies to Western's campus, and if you donated $5 you got to rent a puppy for a half hour and walk them around campus and love on them. So fun. Gemini was one of the sweetest pits! I'm not a huge pit fan, but he was cute :)
Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you were better at.
Making - and keeping! - good habits, and dropping my bad habits.
I used to walk/run 2 miles every day, or at least every other. I was feeling really good about myself and able to run the whole 2 miles when I wanted to, and that was really exciting for someone who has never really be in shape or a big fan of running. I want to be a runner. I really do. But every time I get to where I think I am doing good, I let myself take a break...and that turns into an extended break...which is bad. So I am trying to get back in the habit of doing some form of exercise every day. I'm starting small. Short bike rides, 30 minutes on the treadmill/elliptical. Just something. Plus I've been having some really bad back pain, like can't walk it hurts so bad back pain, and I think that loosening my muscles and becoming a little more flexible will hopefully help with that as well. (Really I think I need to find a doctor and probably a chiropractor, but I'm too scared to find a new doctor!)
Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you could forget.
The whole PNC quitting thing... I am glad I did not end up having to stay there, but I still feel so bad for quitting on them and for the way it all went down. I hate knowing that I am "that one girl who randomly quit and cried about it". Haha.






That was fun~~reading so many together!! I was wondering why we weren't hearing from you!
ReplyDeleteThis nicer weather should help in your goal of getting back in shape~its so much more fun to be able to get outside :) Can't wait to get my bike out again!
