Cravings

Right now I am desperately craving summer.
Or more specifically, sun....warmth.

Not blistering heat, mind you.

But that 'wear just jeans and a tee-shirt, rainbow sandles wearing, run on dirt instead of in a gym, not have your eyes fried by the icy wind, your hair dries in 5 minutes, lovely freckles, have an iced coffee, go for a hike kinda sun.
Today I got a slight glimpse as I didn't have to wear my amazingly warm Marmot jacket to class for one of the first times - and I was actually comfortable.

Usually I am much more of a winter person. Don't get me wrong, I could really go for some snow pretty much ANY time of the year. And I LOVE the rain. The sound of it pouring outside and tapping the window while you are inside curled up and toasty is IRRESISTIBLE and I would not trade that for anything!

But ENOUGH is ENOUGH already!

Ya just gotta have some balance.

I am sure that once warmer temperatures have graced us with their presence for a couple of months, I will be longing for winter.

I get irritated when people are never satisfied where they are in life - always looking to the future and wanting more instead of being content and present where they are currently. So I'm trying not to be this way about the weather.

I will continue to stay bundled up and enjoy hot coffee and the lovely pitter-pattering outside my window, as I know it won't stick around forever!

here's to the men.

In December, Jeffrey and I will be celebrating four years of marriage.  I am happily married. Correction.  I am head-over-heals-love-him-more-each-day-blessed-beyond-measure-happily married! Ok, enough with the mushy stuff and on to the reason this post is titled, "here's to the men". As I think over my journey of meeting my husband and everything leading up to that, there are a number of factors that I know contributed to finding this wonderful man.  Everything from having a similar upbringing to great communication, are obviously apart of it.  But I wanted to focus on one of (I believe) the key factors.   Men. That's right, men.  We (as women) have all had our fair share of experiences, both good and bad, with men.  Whether we realize it or not, they have helped shaped our view of who we are as women and what we deserve in a boyfriend/spouse.  This starts at childhood and goes into our teenage and young adult years.  The sta...

tears

I wouldn't say that I am an overly emotional person.  I have always thought that I am pretty well in tune with them and they rarely get the better of me in situations.  My logic is usually able to balance things out. Yesterday, I was watching a show and there was a ballet scene featuring one single dancer on the stage.  She radiated strength, passion, and was so full of life.  It was so incredibly beautiful and as silly as it sounds, it brought tears to my eyes. When I was younger, I can remember my Mom getting teary eyed over everything.  We could be watching a movie or tv show and she would be wiping her eyes over a beautiful song, reuniting of a family, a piece of music, anything.  I remember always thinking that it was so silly.  Call it genetics, but I now do the same thing.  Maybe it's growing up and being more secure in who I am, but it happens, often.  I am usually able to feel it coming on and quickly distract myself ...

Leo Allen's Birth Story

The day my little Leo was born was truly, the best day of my life. Now I know, I'm supposed to say that about the day I married Jeffrey, but the day I married him was not the important part as much as the marriage we had/have ahead of us (which is still awesome by the way!)  The day I had Leo was truly the best day on so many levels.  Often times when I've heard people talk about the birth of their child, I think they are typically referring to the actual baby-comes-out and meeting them part.  What I am referring to is the whole shbang.  From the very first contraction to finally holding him in my arms.  It was hard, yes, but I don't think that holding him in my arms would have been nearly as amazing without everything leading up to it.  From start to finish, delivery and  labor were absolutely amazing! Now, I had been preparing for years for the birth of my child - researching, reading, and envisioning what would happen.  Birth has always be...
