A Good Week

This has been such a good week and we're only half way through.  I was perusing blog-land and thought to myself that I haven't blogged in quite a while.  When I logged on to Blogger, I realized I had created so many draft posts, but had only posted three of them ... in the spring. 

It was refreshing to look through all of those drafts that I never posted.  To see how I may even feel differently about some of them now.  I'm feeling encouraged and inspired right now to do things that are good for me ... that feel good for my soul.  So, I'm going to start using this as a place to document life and things that make me happy.  And actually post the things I write up, instead of letting them hide as drafts.

So, back to this good week.  I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I am feeling some odd kind of zeal in my home life.  So much of the time I feel so focused on the every day hustle and the things we're working towards, that I lose sight of the big picture.  There are so many exciting things on the horizon for the Hubb's & I and where most times I am super impatient, I have taken a step back and am relishing in this piece of life.  Before we know it, things will be different.  No, I'm not pregnant. 

I just feel so refreshed and renewed in the things I want to pour myself into.  Home projects, meals, health, financial planning ... we're just at a good place right now, working towards where we want to be.

There is also so much to be thankful for, no matter what is going on in one's life.  It's not always easy to remember this.  Currently, it's very easy to remember as there are reminders present:

Hubb's is working diligently in his studies (he's less than two months away from his Finance degree!) and actually enjoying most of them.  He feels rewarded solely in the quality he's putting into that work.  I am so excited planning his party ... I've been waiting years to throw it!

We're working on healthier habits after long, tough work days.  We often times find ourselves enjoying drinks on our patio and eating dinner late at night.  Instead, we've been going to the gym after arriving home from work and moving on to showers, cooking, dinner and other things that need attention like studying, cleaning, reading, projects, etc.  We're feeling so much more productive.

We had our second wedding anniversary last week on October 10th.  We're both so incredibly blessed to have the marriage we have.  I smile and know that I will be in love with this man forever.  We've been together eight years and I swear I fall more in love with him with each passing one.




Our Wedding Day - 10/10/10


I graduated from Physical Therapy last week as part of my recovery plan from L5/S1 Microdiscectomy surgery I had on July 31.  It was a tough road, and I was so thankful to my loved ones and friends for bringing dinners, visiting, helping with laundry and the list goes on and on.  Even more, I am so extremely thankful to be feeling well and able to do most things.  You don't realize how much feeling normal and in working order is a blessing until you aren't able to do things. 


I have lots of things I want to share and am eager to get back into the therapy of writing out thoughts, ideas, plans, likes and all kinds of other fun things.  The internet is really becoming a ridiculously awesome place to find inspiration for everything and an outlet for creative minds to spread their talent.
