Aaaaand...Life

I have been such a bad blogger lately! I have been really busy with life, and as I go through my day, I think "Oh, this would be great to blog about!" Then I just run out of time!
As I left work Friday morning, I realized that I had been either coming from or going in to work for 8 days straight. Boooo. SO! I am so excited to actually have this weekend off. Oh wait, I am "babysitting" my sisters & Jack all weekend. 2 kids, 2 dogs? How am I even blogging now? Anyway...here are the things that have been on my mind lately:


1. Ben and I celebrated 8 years together on March 3! It is such a blessing to know and love someone for that long.

Can you imagine marrying the dude who took you to Junior Homecoming?

Or Senior Prom?

It is amazing how well we knew each other, yet still learn something new every day!

2. My weight loss challenge has taken a turn...for the better! See my Fitness Friday post for details.

3. I love love love my sorority sisters. One of them recently (and suddenly) lost her brother, and I have received no fewer than 5-10 email exchanges per day planning a care package for her and flowers for her family. The support and love from the sisters is amazing, and I know we are always there for each other during trying times and to celebrate during the joyous moments!

4. Home Buying...what a pain. That is all.

5. I don't know if it's because I am older and pay attention more to world news, but it seems like there have been a lot more natural disasters in the past decade. It's devastating to so many. 

Love to all!
