Hello and happy seven days until Christmas. Golly goodness, it's truly right around the corner. One measly week away, I can hardly stand the excitement. Today I'm sharing round two of my year end recaps. The middle of the year lots of things were happening and we continued our multiple trips a month for kickball and family fun.
A P R I L
Re-posted my engagement pictures as a throw back.
Shared a heartbreaking post about my grandmother's death anniversary.
After years of patiently waiting, I finally met my BOFF! She flew in from Dallas for the weekend and it was EPIC! We celebrated my bday, had dinners, went to church and had a blast together. It was so wonderful meeting her and it solidified our soul-mate status.The weekend was too short, but it was AMAZING and one for the books!!!
CELEBRATED MY THIRTY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Rejoiced in the rising of our Savior, on Easter weekend.
Finally dropped a huge stressful and negative weight in my life. #neverfeltbetter #youcantryandspinit #buteveryoneknowsthetruth #copycatsthattalksmackmakemelaugh
Flew to Austin for our third kickball tournament of the year. This time the sissys joined us and we had a blast in the city. Unfortunately, the tournament ended badly and started a big of a spiral on our team. However, the trip was fantastic!

Started the month feeling inferior about my body and weight. #dumbIknow
Was saddened to learn that Super Teddy lost his fight with Menkes and went to be with God. Even though I never knew him or his family, I bawled when I heard the news. Fly HIGH, Super Teddy!

There was a huge shake-up at work that left me a lil nervous. It was something I kind of felt was coming, but when it happened it was a shock. Things are okay now, but it was a bit nerve racking at the time.
I confessed my thoughts on marriage and it was hilarious.
We traveled to Cincinnati to celebrate Memorial weekend with Le Husband's family.
Posted about lifting, because I saw too many women just doing cardio! WEIGHTS ARE YOUR FRIENDS!

Played in and WON our first Women's tournament as a team. It was an eye opening weekend, for sure.
Traveled to PA for a kickball tournament. It went realy poorly and there was a lot of drama because of people's lack of drive. Le Husband and I almost walked away from the team.
Got GEEKED about the World CUP!

Watched the USA BEAT GHANA IN THE WORLD CUP! It was one of the greatest sports moments of my life when we scored both goals and then celebrated at the end of the game. EPIC BAR MOMENT!
Ventured down to SOMD to play in a kickball tournament with my BFFER and watched the USA play again.
Posted my first coffee date.
Secretly started our Alaskan vacation, without giving blog land the heads up!
Come back next week for July, August and September!!!!

- My lil bit of cheer was finally watching The Holiday this season. It's become one of my favorite movies and I fall in love with the cast every time I watch it. Jude Law is perfection, isn't he?
So hard to believe your Austin trip was earlier this year - I still remember reading the recap!! I absolutely love your throwback to your engagement pictures - you are the cutest!! And yes to the Holiday - such a fantastic movie...jude law, that accent gets me every time!! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteHaha so I just started watching The Holiday for the millionth time last night but somehow fell asleep...definitely need to finish it up later today!

That kickball tourney looks like so much fun! I've always wanted to join one of those leagues :)
ReplyDeleteagain, i love your dedication to kickball! that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSO crazy how many good things you guys crammed into those short few months - especially that amazing trip to Alaska! I love going back through all of your most amazing posts and remembering the fun, along with the not so fun. I still cry when I think about sweet Teddy. He and Caleb were so close in age - less than a month apart - and my heart still breaks for that sweet Mama when I think about her loss. I still check her website periodically to read journal entries she posts. Fly high Teddy, indeed.
ReplyDeleteYeesh what didn;t you do in those three months? But best part? Meeting me IRL finally!!! I just cannot believe it took us that long and how we just well clicked, le duh! I am excited to see what the next year unfolds for you and C and your kickball career. Love you to the moon!

I freaking LOVE The Holiday. I'm really not a huge fan of Jude Law but he is pretty fabulous in that movie.
ReplyDeleteI love that you went to Alaska and didn't tell anyone haha. You're like the most secretive blogger I know ;)
I clicked onto the post with your engagement pictures and they are so cute! Love the outfit choice! Looks like a great spring/early summer! Its cool that you travel so much!
ReplyDeleteY’alls Easter outfits are styling! Cheers to a wonderful 2015 friend!
ReplyDeleteYou guys get to see so many fun places thanks to kickball! Still praying for sweet Teddy's family daily. Did you see they had a healthy baby girl a couple of months ago? She's adorable!

You're definitely making me want to read your marriage post :). I like hilarious :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a good hunk of man meat he is! I love that movie but always forget about it. Isn't that weird? You had another 3 busy months, holy cow!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lot of ups and downs in these few months. Glad that you and your team were able to win a few championships! I bet that upped the morale :D I love your Easter dress!
ReplyDeleteLoved your marriage confessions post- my husband is a twitcher when he first falls asleep, so yeah, no cuddling when it is sleeping time. Okay I read the post quickly about meeting your friend, but what does BOFF stand for? So glad you hit it off in and had such a great time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
