My Crazy Beautiful Life

Ok...so I made goals at the beginning of the yer and I want to look at where I stand since I am now 1/4 of the way through the year.....hard to believe it's going by that fast but it is. My Goals (Resolutions) for the year 2014 1.  Finish a bible study {still looking for one} 2.  Finish a book (maybe a series too)  {I have started a book and I am actually looking forward to finishing it so let's hope I do it!} 3.  Blog weekly  {I am still blogging ....maybe weekly was a little much for me to really commit to but I am working on it} 4.  Stay organized (home, work, self, etc) {This is so hard for me!!!!!!!!} 5.  Coupon {I am slacking} 6. Start saving money {hoping to do this after tax return comes in} 7.  Take more pictures (personal and for others) {I take pictures daily on my phone but I need to take more with my camera....I have done a wedding so far, took pictures of a friend, and i have had some inquiries about me doing some ...

I have the privilege of working with Kara each day at my school.  Not only is she an awesome secretary but she has become a great friend as well.  This summer her boyfriend came to school, brought lunch and proposed!  Super sweet!!!!  She asked me if I would do the pictures for her wedding and of course I jumped at the opportunity!  This past Saturday, Joe and Kara tied the knot and it was a gorgeous day, gorgeous ceremony and such an awesome couple!  Here are a few of my favorites so far from the wedding. Thanks so much Kara for letting me capture your special day! 

So I have decided the lazy winter blues have kicked in from being off schedule with snow days, being stuck in the house and just not feeling like I am accomplishing what I need to.  I'm slacking on my working out and I feel like I am just plain out lazy right now.  I want to get back into the swing of working to better myself everyday.  Maybe the time changing tonight will help...one can only hope. I'm ready for the warmer weather to get outside with the kids.  I look forward to watching them play outside, going to walks and even some runs.   I'm excited about playing at the park and just seeing all of God's beauty in all the new flowers and animals that will start arriving with the warmer temps.  More time in the day, a personal assistant to keep me on track, a set schedule for each day, or just plain self discipline...not sure what I need but I need to get back on track. I have not had pork or red meat since Tuesday and so far it isn't too bad.  ...

Lent begins today and I am giving up red meat and pork...not the easiest thing for me to do.  Bacon is a weakness for me but I will make it through this.  I have been praying so hard for some things are so I'm giving up something I can't see me going without for any amount of time to fast for what im praying for. Still doing my challenge and also doing the c25k to get this body back in shape.  Let's hope this mommy can get more energy to give to her family. Tonight I get to bake(something I love) and create a super cute cake for a great friend who is getting married very soon. Hopefully I'll have pictures to post next time. I'll post again soon...but I must get ready for work.
