🥂 13 years! 🥂 I’d make a Taylor Swift qui

🥂 13 years! 🥂

I’d make a Taylor Swift quip but in no way does a lucky number have anything to do with what this year has been for John and me.

This has, without a doubt, been the most difficult year in our marriage - individually & as a couple. When you’re married, you don’t get to live in a silo. Your struggles are shared just as much, or maybe even more so than your passions.

In a Catholic marriage, you reorder things: God, spouse, then self (and then the kids if you’re blessed to have any.)

In the best of Catholic marriages, you screw up that order at least once a day. 😂

When we entered into this covenant with God in front of our family and friends, we didn’t know what we were getting into. Not really. I don’t think anyone does.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we love each other, we promise to forever. Can we go celebrate now?

In the hardest year of our married life, we have grown closer & stronger than I think we ever have been. When it might feel like we should have been broken, I feel like we connected. God continues to guide us. And praise BE for that because we sure can’t do this without Him! I feel like we have leaned into this Holy Sacrament in a new way and I pray the next 13 years are the best yet! (Please God, hear our prayer.)

No one wants to go through hard times. But I’m grateful for the tough this year has been if only because I feel more solidified in my yes to John than I did the day I said it.

“It’s 11:11 I love you, Boo!” More than you’ll ever know & probably more than I can ever express. 😘

🎶 Need your lovin’ here beside me
(To guide me) Keep it close enough to guide me
(Inside of me) From the fears that are inside of me
You’re the biggest part of me

Got a feelin’ that forever
(Together) We are gonna stay together
(Forever) From now until forever
You’re the biggest part or me
You’re the life that breathes in me
You’re the biggest part of me

🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸 Home of the free because of the brave, undervalued & under supported. Thank you for your yes & your courage! My two favorite veterans are gone now, but they built my family & I’ll be forever grateful for their service and all of their brothers & sisters in uniform. #yabettathankaveteran #veteransday

Today’s the day!

None of us want to go back.

Half of us don’t want to go back to 2016.
Half of us don’t want to go back to 2020.

Today’s the day we have the privilege to choose; a privilege given to us by living in the greatest country in the world. A privilege people voted for before our time. For their future generations - us.

Today’s the day we get to use our individual voice to vote for the America we want.

Today’s the day we vote for who we think will be the best leader of our country for the next four years. And for our future generations.

We the people own this country. If you want a voice in how your power is used, go vote.

I truly hope you’ll take advantage of this great privilege. (Or have already.) America can be great again.

Have you already voted/voting today?

Today’s the day I finally & forever give up on s

Today’s the day I finally & forever give up on sports bras that have removable cups. 👋🏼

They’re the worst & I’ve had these far too long, always pushing them to the side to select mine that have molded cups bc I cannot, will not wash these one more time only to have the cup fall out in the wash, fold up creating a crease, then have to wiggle it back into the bra only to see said crease through a shirt.

Guess I needed to get that off my chest.

Why these even exist, I’ll never know.
What woman actually prefers a removable cup?

Do you have a favorite molded cup sports bra? Surely IG’s ads will target me now that I’ve mentioned it… I’ll let you know if anything comes along. 😂 I’ve been liking the Avia ones from @walmartfashion.

#sportsbras #removablecups Can’t wait to see what creepos I attract with those hashtags.

My PBJ and sometimes S smoothie: P: Vanilla Prote

My PBJ and sometimes S smoothie:

P: Vanilla Protein powder
B: Peanut Butter
J: Strawberries (pretend it’s jelly)
S: fresh or frozen spinach

I blend with water bc the Arbonne protein powder I use doesn’t need any milk for taste or texture 🤌🏼

If you’re looking to add more protein to your day, a protein shake or smoothie is a great way to get it in. I’ve been upping my daily intake and getting this 24g (+more if I add things in), has been game-changing for me.

The Essential Meal powder I’ve been using since June is a real powerhouse. I truly enjoy it as-is with just water over some ice or blended with ice. But it’s also good to add other nutrients with fruit & veg.

Protein
💪🏼 putting your metabolism into drive +24 grams of vegan protein
💪🏼 A balanced meal replacement + A superblend of macronutrients 💪🏼 Easy to digest
💪🏼 avocado oil
💪🏼 20 vitamins + minerals
💪🏼 9 essential amino acids
💪🏼 Gluten, dairy, whey free
💪🏼 Creamy, delicious & blends well
💪🏼 Comes in 3 flavors
💪🏼 Low glycemic index (No blood sugar spike)

LMK if you want to give it a try! Arbonne always has a 90 day refund option if you find it doesn’t work for you.

Ahh September. What’s in store? Will you bring

Ahh September. What’s in store?

Will you bring us glimpses of Fall here in the humid South?
I hope there will be some Clemson wins.
I know there will be birthday celebrations!

Will you give us rest with earlier nights?
Lots of apples and peaches and pears.
And after-work dog walks.

I wonder how we’ll grow & change.
I hope to discover a new favorite recipe.
I know we’ll watch kiddos kick balls & swing bats!

Thanks already, for whatever you bring. Make it a good one. 😉
