I just bought all of my seeds to plant for this spring/summer! I absolutely love growing and tending my own garden! I can't wait to see it all on full bloom and cook with all of the veggies I've planted. I'm even attempting to grow quinoa; I had no idea how beautiful this plant is! Here are all of the plants I'm going to grow:
It is almost 8 weeks post surgery and my swelling is finally starting to go down. I'm down 3 pant sizes now and that's just the start of it. I've always loved fashion and clothes but never had the confidence to pull off the looks I loved... but nothing can stop me now! I think by May I should be a size 4 which is crazy! I can't wait to turn my wardrobe into what I have always wanted to!! Here are some pictures from 1 week post op all the way up to 7 weeks post op... kind of crazy!
Too bad it looks like I got a boob job too! haha I guess I should consider myself blessed.
I can't wait to see this film. I have been reading the book, Irresistible Revolution and have been so inspired by the notion of becoming an ordinary radical. I think this is exactly how people who believe in God should act... it's what I strive to do with my life.
I honestly do not understand people who have no filters on their mouth! I had another test of my patience tonight with someone whom I considered to be a friend. It turns out that wasn't the case and I have never been so offended in my life like I was tonight. This experience has just proven that I have grown up and I am a lot more mature than I thought I was. The old me would have released hell on this girl in front of everyone for what she said to me, but instead I just concentrated on breathing and being solely in that moment and I walked away. I even gave the girl a hug goodbye at the end of the night.... I just know that I will do everything in my power to never see her again and never give her the opportunity to make me feel this way again. I have been through WAY too much these past few months for someone's ignorant, careless words to cause any sort of self doubt. I am stronger than that!
Today is one of those days when I have no words to describe how blessed I am to have the amazing friends that I have. I have befriended some of the most caring, passionate, giving people from all around the world. Today I truly count myself as blessed to know Tyler, Irene, Lauren, and everyone else who has helped form Venture Corps. I have had the privilege to travel the world with these amazing people and help them fund-raise for the JCM Children's Home in Kenya. Venture Corps' website launched today and looking at all of their progress has left me awe struck and truly inspired. I can't wait to help them more with their journey and watch them change the world. I look forward to the day that I get to step foot in Africa again to see JCM for myself!

I love this video for so many reasons, but this one makes me a proud momma... my little guy Jackson is the first beautiful face you see.
I swear there there must be something in the water lately, everyone I know seems to be pregnant! Everywhere I look these days there are pregnant women and babies!!!! And normally this wouldn't bother me, but there is a huge part of me right now that so badly wants a baby too... and unless something crazy happens I don't think I'll be having one anytime soon. Maybe I should just adopt?! I'm hoping this phase will stop in a bit and I can peacefully wait it out until it's my turn... but for right now, I'm jealous! Despite the bouts of jealousy, I am super happy for all of my friends. What an incredibly exciting time it is for them! I hope they cherish every moment and I can't wait to meet their new little bundles of joy.
