The Best Place On Earth

_DSC0376

Hi Lovelies!

It has already been over a week since we got back from our Michigan vacation. It feels like yesterday and it makes me so sad that we won’t be back for another year. Well, we may be in Michigan before then, but we won’t be up north on the lake:( Today’s photos are from the family reunion, the one above is of me and my cousin, Stephanie. It’s her birthday today! (Happy Birthday, Steph!)

Wes and our brother in law, Chris. Yes, my husband is wearing a storm trooper shirt. Yes, it is on a pink surf board. Yes, it is a tank top. You can thank our friend Bryan who kidnapped us for 3 days with no extra clothing. You can also thank Walmart.

Sophie took a dip in the lake. She didn’t like it.

Best friends.

It really is the most beautiful place I have seen and I wait anxiously every single year for the summer to come so that I can lay on the beach and read, watch the sunset, and get ice cream at the local ice cream shop. <sigh> Only 352 (or so) more days to go until next year!

Move, Nourish, Believe Challenge: Week 3 Recap

Hi Lovelies!

Well, the end of the Move, nourish, believe challenge has come. It makes me sad not only because it was fun, but because that also means February is almost over and I feel like it just began! Ahhh, time goes by WAY too quickly! Well, here is my recap of the challenges for this week!

Monday: Spoil Yourself

Face Mask

 

I used my fun new clay mask that I got in my Influenster voxbox last week to pamper myself a little bit. It was really nice. Tingled a little bit, but I’m pretty sure it’s meant to do that:) I put it on, turned on some relaxing music, and pretended I was at a spa for about 10 minutes….how relaxing!

Tuesday: Meditation

Meditation

 

Today was a day to meditate. Sometimes I feel like I have no time to do anything, so it was really nice to just shut everything out for a few minutes today and focus on me.

Wednesday: Show Us Your Happy Place!

Lake St. Helen, MI

 

This is my favorite place in the whole world. I grew up coming to this lake every summer and even got engaged here. This always has been and always will be my happy place:)

Thursday: Thankful Thursday

Family Portrait

The thing I am most thankful for is my family. I didn’t have a picture of all of them that would fit on Intsagram, so I just used this one of the littlest members of my family! Aren’t they the cutest?

Friday: Share The Love

Engagement Picture

My #1 supporter and motivator has ALWAYS been Wes. My husband is always supportive of me no matter what new adventure I choose to go on.

Well, that was my week! Hope everyone else had as much fun as I did. Don’t forget to stop by Fit Approach and Lorna Jane and thank them for this awesome challenge!

This Is What I Like About Texas

Hi Lovelies!

When Wes and I picked up and moved to Texas two years ago we had a lot of people ask, “Why Texas?”. Well, besides the fact that I lived in Texas during middle and high school and LOVED it. And, besides the fact that Texans have the most pride for their state than anywhere else I have ever been, which is amazing. THIS is ‘why Texas’. Sunday, November 17….85 degrees and sunny. I just don’t understand how you could NOT love that. It was chilly all last week and the leaves are starting to change, it’s beginning to feel like fall…and then it’s 85 degrees. You would NEVER get an 85 degree day in Michigan in November. Ever. This entire weekend was beautiful as a matter of fact. I have to tell you…Michigan has beautiful lakes, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere but Austin:)
