Could you do it?

I guess I’m kind of a chicken when it comes to this kind of stuff…. but I read an article today on Yahoo that talks about how they now have glass balconies at the Sears tower. That’s the tallest building in our country! Here’s a glimpse of what that would look like:

eeekkk….I don’t know if I could! HERE’S an article that talks more about it…

24!

So yesterday I turned 24…yes… I’m getting old!

:)

I had such a great birthday! Matt made the day very special :) We went to Animal Kingdom during the day and then went to Maggiano’s for dinner…We had never been there before. It was yummyyy and very romantic :)

Then we went to City Walk for a while and walked around, went to some shops, got some dessert…we had a great day! It was exhausting though…it started at 9am and we got home after midnight!

I’m so grateful for my hubby…He always does such a great job of making my birthdays very special. He also spoils me rotten!! He got me a Garmin Forerunner. It’s a GPS watch thing that you wear when you run and it tells you how far you’re going, your pace, your calories burned, heart rate and so much more…. I LOVE it!! I was so excited when he gave it to me! He also got me some clothes and then took me shopping for some more stuff today :) …seriously…he spoils me :)

I’m very grateful for all the phone calls, messages, texts, & comments I got yesterday! I love all my family and friends! :)

Here are some pics from our day:

Must See!

Everyone should see this movie! It’s seriously one of the funniest I’ve seen in a while! Check it out:

I guess she’s got beef!

We took this video of Princess the other day… she’s CRAZY! Of course, her craziness is entertainment for us :)

Check it out… The last 30 seconds are my favorite!

P.S.- Don’t hate on my laundry that needs to be done! :)

*Sigh*….

So yesterday I wrote about our past week at student camp… I wanted to keep it positive so I didn’t bring up the one, and only, horrible part of the week.

I lost my wedding ring in the ocean…. I want to vomit thinking about it. It happened last Tuesday…

I have tried to remind myself… It’s just a ring, it’s replaceable... That doesn’t seem to help much! I am definitely an incredibly sensitive and sentimental person so losing one of the most important things Matt gave me was traumatic. Yes, maybe traumatic is a bit extreme…well…if I’m being honest…that’s not really extreme. I was pretty upset and have been since it happened.

Guess I just needed to vent about it for a minute….

Matt replaced my old ring already :) We went and got the exact same one Saturday. I was very adamant about having the same one… but now it just feels weird.

It’s kind of strange to have the same ring I lost… It’s almost like more of a reminder of the one that I lost…am I making ANY sense?!

Probably not so I’m gonna just stop here…

All this to say: DON’T EVER WEAR YOUR WEDDING RING IN THE OCEAN!  I want everyone to learn from my mistake! I will never do that again. I will also ALWAYS make sure my ring is sized to my finger. It has been lose for a little bit and I said to Matt a couple days before we left: “When we get home I really need to get this resized.”

Ughh…. I am very grateful that it was just a ring and not something more valuable or irreplaceable. I’m also very grateful for Matt… He’s been so amazing about the whole thing! Love you, babe :)

Okay so the next post will be more positive and not such a downer :) I actually have a funny Princess video to post!

So… It’s been a while…

I know, It’s been forever. This is has been the craziest start to a summer I’ve had in a while!

We were just busy with regular life stuff until last week- then we headed to Panama City Beach with the student group for summer camp!

It was seriously a blast.

C3 has some awesome students. They teach me more than they will ever know. It was a great week where we got to see them grow and learn more about what God wants for their lives. I saw my high school girls come out of their shells (even more) and really worship God. It was incredible! I don’t even have enough words for all that God did last week. I got to spend so much time with my girls and have some awesome late night conversations. :)

Of course on the way there and back, Matt and I rode with the high school guys…we had some interesting conversations there, too! :)

If you have a student in your family, get them involved in C3’s student community…seriously it rocks!!

God has done some amazing stuff and helped me learn a lot in the last couple weeks. I’m so incredibly grateful for Him and His love for us. I’m so grateful for my husband… he is so selfless and works harder than anyone knows for his family. I’m grateful for my friends & C3 family. C3 is such a refreshing way to start off my week… being with people who are real and love God and love people is incredible!

So hopefully I’ll get back to posting more regularly. I now need to go for a run… last week was awesome but no workout= me being a week behind with my training!

Crazy Wednesdays

Today has been a crazyyy day! Wednesday’s usually are…

I watch Jackson on Wednesday’s and we have 413 (C3’s High School Ministry) at our house. That means baking for the students, cleaning, and of course hangin’ with Jackson!

I also have to get in a run on Wednesday…. I did run today but the rain really makes me unmotivated!

All that to say I’m kind of lovin the rain. I guess it’s more of a love/hate thing. I love it at night when I can sit an cuddle with Matt on the couch…and of course I love when it’s time to sleep! I hate it when I’m trying to grocery shop, have a cart full of stuff and it’s pouring!

Anyway,

I’m so pumped because yesterday I registered for my first half-marathon! I’m running it in Chicago on August 2nd. I’m nervous but still excited! It should be pretty fun, it’s the Rock N’ Roll half marathon. :)  ….13.1 miles… it’ll be interesting!

I’m gonna go watch American Idol now- I really hope Kris wins, I am NOT an Adam fan!
