One Year!!!

So, I'm a little late on this post because our first anniversary was last weekend but I thought I'd post this anyway. We've now been married a year!! I'm sitting here at 12:30 am watching Little House on the Prairie thinking about how it gives me warm fuzzy's from my childhood. Then that randomly got me thinking to the movie Hook, remember when he can't become peter pan without his "happy place" as I was thinking about this happy place I realized my happy place is our wedding.

Our wedding is hands down the best day of my life thus far. I remember waking up the morning of with the most excited feeling! I remember the day couldn't get to the ceremony fast enough. I remember hanging out with all my girls getting our hair done then later hanging out in our room waiting for the guests to arrive and for five o'clock to come around. I remember having the biggest smile on my face and nothing could take it off, not even a black eyeliner pencil that fell down my perfectly white dress 5 minutes before I walked down the aisle. Then finally the momentous moment was almost here, the girls went ahead without me and I got 5 quiet minutes with my daddy...priceless. Then I got to the aisle, my arm around daddy's and I looked up and all I could see was Tim. I remember being overwhelmed with emotion. My dad asked for me to walk as slowly as possible so we could take in this moment, I tried, when everything in me wanted to rush up to the alter to be with Tim, honestly though it was a quite quick walk, finally I was there, daddy gave me away, I of course had difficulty getting up the stairs with my dress which made it humorous. :) After some very meaningful words from Scott, it was time for our vows, his were breath taking, mine I struggled to get through, I did cry a little, next were the rings, then communion, then prayer. After the prayer Tim whispered to me, I get to kiss you for the first time soon! Then finally we were pronounced man and wife and the kiss Tim had been waiting 30 years for and I had been waiting 15 months for came to be! I look back on this day, with every fondness. I wish I could have frozen this day in time because it seemed to fly by.
Well now, a year later, I'm still amazingly blessed by this man, I'm so grateful we have many many more years to get better at this thing called marriage. I'm so grateful to God for giving me this incredible gift. My deepest heart's desire is to always remember what a special blessing this man is to me.

Homemade Boppy Pillow

Image
Okay, so for those of you who have looked at my registry, I did register for a boppy pillow but I also wanted to make one myself. I used material from an old cotton sheet we don't use anymore and can't help but wonder if store bought is better than homemade when it comes to this. Anywho, I figure if my pillow is just as good as store bought the registry one can always be returned and if my homemade one fails then I have a genuine boppy as well. Here goes nothing.... I printed out the pattern on the computer and had to tape the pattern together to make this. I got the pattern  here Fold your fabric, or sheet, in half, place pattern along folded side and cut two of the pattern out. Pin the two pieces together with RIGHT sides facing each other. Sew around edges, leaving opening for stuffing, I left my opening right in the middle but you can do whatever you want. Turn right side out and press Stuff pillow to desired consistency Hand sew the opening shu

My Toxic Life

Image
Oh me oh my, I've been on this real food journey for a while. My ability to feed my family real food is limited to my budget but I do the best I can to feed my family whole organic foods. I'm frequently frightened to see what's in our food. Even feeding my family healthfully. Like say chicken breast instead of chicken nuggets, my chicken has arsenic and the chickens are fed GMO feed? Are you kidding me? Well, thank God for Costco that is where I get my organic meat it's not pasture fed but it's the best I can afford. Recently, I was taking a prenatal vitamin and after I swallowed it I thought, I wonder what the ingredients are, after all I take this so when we conceive again (hopefully) that my folic acid level is healthy and whatnot, well come to find out my vitamins since they aren't organic are full of toxins. Eesh. Nearly three months ago I looked at what's in my shampoo, yikes. Thus began my "no shampoo" journey. So far, I'm w

Second Week, First Run and Spinach/Chicken Calzone

Image
Ran yesterday, plan this week is to run 3 miles first two runs then 3.5 last run of the week. Nothing too interesting, ran 3 miles, went slowly at 5.6, went hiking with the hubby on Saturday with some decent pain in my knees and wanted to take it slow in case I was sore or something. Had pain all down my right side towards the end and after, not sure what to think of that. I have a known hip injury that flares up sometimes on my right side, we'll have to wait and see what happens. Plan for dinner tonight was spinach and chicken calzone. In and effort to be more healthy, I made the calzone crust with whole wheat. Easy recipe from eatingwell.com, whole wheat flour, yeast, H2O, honey and salt. Quickly threw this together then let it rise twice, very simple. For the filling the original recipe calls for cooking the chicken in the frying pain with a little EVOO. I changed it up a little, I slowly boiled the chicken then shredded the chicken with two forks, cooked onion and garlic
