So..I haven’t exactly been Paleo this week…all the time. I mean how can you turn down an American Flag Cake? More so..I think it hit me this week..that I’m GETTING MARRIED! I don’t know what it is, but the idea of being a WIFE is much more profound and larger than being a girlfriend or … Continue reading
…Bible Passages: 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who … Continue reading
People…can I just tell you..that’s it’s cold in Australia. I’m not even kidding you…I woke up this morning and it was 39F/4C..and THAT’S COLD!!! In fact, yesterday I decided that I’d go running around 4:30pm..the sun was out..but it was a liar. It was freezing cold. I was rugged up with two layers and gloves … Continue reading
Andrew and I got back from the engagement party with a suitcase full of card, generous gifts and a book that I was dying to get into. I think that it’s easy, in any relationship, to get caught up in a self-ish angle. “Why isn’t he helping around the house?” “How many bloody times … Continue reading
I was in the bath last night, you see I take my iPad with me in there to read…thank goodness I haven’t actually dropped it in yet, and I was reading through a post on FB that Miz put up about Heidi Klume paying her kids to drink healthy smoothies. I wouldn’t pay my kids … Continue reading
We trekked to Wallaroo, South Australia for our engagement party. It was such an good experience for me. It’s a blending of cultures, it’s a blending of families. I’m finding my own feet in the new role that I play as the ‘future-daughter-in-law’. It was weird to hear that, oddly comforting, and yet foreign. Looked … Continue reading
I’m in WAY over my head with the Advance Life Support training handbook. People it’s 250 pages of WORST CASE SCENARIO if someone crashes…WHAT ARE YOU GONNA’ DO? Then it’s a whole bunch of multiple choice pre-training questions with ECG strips and one obvious answer that I can’t seem to find. Geeze people, I’m telling … Continue reading
I think no matter what you do in life, you have to do what you want. One thing, that I have to admit to myself, is that my desire to enjoy/overeat/solace in food has been greater then my honest desire to be healthy, emotionally free from food, thin. The cycle of weight-loss is the most … Continue reading
I’m not even sure where it all begins and ends. I’m normally not ok with that, but I am now. After the engagement, I threw myself in planning: engagement party, invites, Pinterest boards, etsy favourites, learning the hard way that American invite sizes and Australian envelopes don’t match up. I machined out engagement party invites. … Continue reading
There’s A LOT of backstory to how Andrew and I got engaged. When we went to American in September I drug him to my most favourite jewelers there and said to him that it would mean a lot to me if he could some how purchase and/or design a ring from them. He listened to … Continue reading
