Playing catch up

First of all let me tell you my new idea for this blog:

I want to designate a subject for each day of the week. That way I will feel more obligated to post. After all, I'm gonna look back at this one day and wonder what the heck  I did in my 20's every single day. ha.

These may change as life changes and I will have a few random things throw in too, but right now here is the plan:

Run-day Sunday- Exercise things/weekly workout summary etc
Motivation Monday- motivational posters, stories, quotes
Tempting Tuesday- yummy food ideas, pictures to drool at etc.
Wonderful Wednesday- anything I believe is wonderful
Truthful Thursday- I'm gonna tell you the truth about some things ;)
Funny Friday-  jokes/ funny stories
Simply Saturday- easy going posts, anything simple including quick easy diy ideas, tips etc.

So without further ado, here is Run-day Sunday and Motivation Monday to catch us up for this week!

 Workouts this week:

SELF Magazines Drop 10 cards

Total weekly miles: 14(4/1-4/8)

I stumbled upon great thing this weekend while on my run. Since I usually go with someone on a run, I don't listen to music. This weekend I was by myself and I didn't want to be bored so, I opened Pandora and searched "workout" and found a GREAT station! It also works with my Map My Run app too! I have this app set up to talk to me every 3 mins with an update on average pace, time and speed which will play over the music on Pandora. It was the perfect set up! Everyone should try this combo out!

Here is some Monday Motivation that you may have needed yesterday (or today) but hey, I'm busy so you aren't getting me at my best . I'll do better next time!!

This speaks for anything in your life!

6+ years!

I'm a little late on the 6 year anniversary post. So yay! We've been together forever!

If anyone is interested, I made Tyler a little keepsake I saw on Pinterest a long time ago.  I created somewhat the same thing for  Valentine's Day one year but it was shorter than this list and in a picture frame.

Inspiration: Found here

And here goes my version...

Supplies needed:

 1 deck of playing cards (old or new or whatever is around the house)

2 binder rings (found mine at Target)

1 Pack of labels (more than 52 needed!)

1 hole punch

1 Printer & Ink!

Optional:

1 ruler (to line up the holes)

Fancy scissors(my labels were too long for the cards so I used lace edge scissors)

After you come up with 52 reasons, print them on some labels. If you are having a hard time coming up with those last few reasons, just think of everything! Add some funny, romantic, random stuff in there. Only things you all would know! 

If you want you can add a picture too...I added a picture only on the first card.

I suggest  punching holes through it all first, then one at a time, add it to the rings. I didn't have the best hole punch so mine was a little off but thats what makes it homemade! ;)

Final product!! 

I also got him an old newspaper found at an antique store in Louisville. Pretty cool.

The opening begins....

I think he liked it :)

Happy Anniversary to us... yippie!

After he gave me some pretty flowers, he took me to a surprise dinner where I have always wanted to eat! P.F.Changs!! 

It was so good and worth every penny! Look at that freakin dessert! And our fortunes weren't bad either... See the double 27's? Yep, lucky #!

bad iphone pic, but we liked the horse

So there ya have it. We keep it pretty simple around here. Livin' on love....

Wednesday Pick Me Up!

I've decided that I want to do a Wednesday pick me up! Anything that motivates, inspires or is funny, I will try and post. Since it's the middle of the week, I figured everyone could use a little push to make it to the weekend! So here is #1!

Everyone has a gift, so use yours.

Confucius said if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Finding your calling, what you're passionate about, will open a door of enjoyment in life that not even being debt-free can unlock.

Everyone has a gift for doing something productive. Find yours.

Finding your purpose in life has two benefits. One, you love your work. The second comes with working hard at something you enjoy. You want to go to work and do well at it, and that translates into more recognition, better pay, promotions and excellence spilling over into other areas of your life. Your marriage, relationships, spiritual walk... everything gets better.

Your calling is out there. Better find it.
