Well friends, I've made it another go around the sun! Welcoming 23. Ah, 23. If you asked me 5 years ago where I thought I'd be today I would have had a different answer. But I am so happy as to where I am now. I am surrounded by people I love daily, I am... Continue Reading →
A friend, Hubby, and myself hiked up our favorite mountain in Shenandoah, Old Rag. The 9 mile hike we have probably done about 4 times now. The view at the top, the rock scrambling, the anticipation of the long climb makes this hike worth it. We really took in our surroundings and appreciated this climb... Continue Reading →
It was time for another weekend getaway. This time not to Florida or Tennessee....but to Mississippi. A new place I get to put on the list of places I've been. We stayed right on the water, my favorite place to be. It was a perfect, relaxing weekend. Just me and Hubs and sharing this time... Continue Reading →

Persistence and dedication are key. Two weeks ago coach programmed squats at 195 lbs. As of four months ago 185 lbs was my 1RM. So going for 195 for two sets of four was a bit intimidating. We went for it and it didn't happen. If you remember my post on mental blocks while training,... Continue Reading →

Let's get to this week's favorites, shall we? What Men Want Had a girl's night where 7 of us went to go see What Men... Continue Reading →
I love Valentine's Day. But of course right? I am a hopeless romantic. I love celebrating love. I love my marriage. So, loving this holiday is nothing new. And I am just a tad bit sad Hubbs is out of town for this holiday. But anyways... We are the cheesiest couple, I know eye roll.... Continue Reading →
I am a daughter. A sister. A friend. A fur mama. A weightlifter. A Floridian. I have many titles. But one of my favorites has to be a wife. Marriage is: two people who get to become one, for better or for worse, to push and motivate. To support and catch when they fall. To... Continue Reading →
