200.

200 days since fast food.

i decided a few weeks ago that i am going to go for a full year without it.

at least.

and i'm over half way there :)

not only do i feel better and look better, but it's nice to not spend money on a bad meal as well.

it's kind of crazy.

but a good crazy.

i love to cook and this pushes me to do more and choose healthier options when i do eat at restaurants.

if i can give it up then so can you :)

Dum Dum

if you know me then you know that i love music and i love to dance. 

one of my favorite songs is a collaboration between Lecrae and Tedashii called "Dum Dum." 

so imagine if you will how excited i was to see that the dance competition show So You Think You Can Dance featured that song on their show tonight!!

I screamed :)

Without further ado...

procrastination & a camping trip.

so there's this thing called procrastination that i am really good at :)

i desperately need to clean my bedroom.

while i go do that i'm gonna leave you w/ a few photos from my weekend camping trip at huntington beach state park.

beach bums :)

feet in the sand - always a great feeling.

beautiful sunset sky colors.

prepping dessert around the campfire. 

150.

it has been 150 days since i last ate fast food.

you may be wondering what i mean by fast food.

to me that consists of certain restaurants that may or may not have golden arches, crowns, stars, cows or  a little red headed girl w/ braids in her hair in their logo.

i just felt gross from eating so much of it over the 3 months prior to stopping.

it was a decision that needed to be made and i love a good challenge :)

it's a new discipline.

the first week was so tough, but i really have not craved it since.

keeping it real though, i miss french fries the most.

what have you given up to create a healthier lifestyle for yourself?

hello again.

i was out of town for the past week. that's my excuse for not blogging. 

my youth group, four other leaders and myself were on our senior high trip called Fun in The Son.

the location was Jekyll Island, GA. still not fully rested :)

for today, i'm sitting at the museum desk one more time.

it's our last day open to the public until our new facility opens downtown in February 2014.

i used to think it would feel bittersweet, but i'm ready for the move.

new and exciting things are happening and i'm so glad to be a part of it all.

wishing you all a great saturday!

about me...

i love Jesus & laughter, people & baking, kids & crafting, music & cooking, instagram & thrifting, fellowship & work.

i enjoy taking pictures of anything and everything. 

grew up in a small town - no serioulsy, population about 1000 :)

i'm a night owl & normally never on time.

people say i'm silly & i think they might be right :)

stay tuned for the normal, random and honest experiences of my life.

PS - i can't believe i finally started this thing!
