fresh air

it may be time for you to take a break in your day, rest, relax, or just think about something other than work & "how do i get this lady to eat less, so she'll lose weight?"  (haha...oh wait, maybe that's just my job). here's a glimpse of what i've been viewing lately.  maybe some of it will inspire you. :) happy thursday.

the treehouse



quite an amazing treehouse.  my friend, kate, and i have always talked of each having our own some day.  atop all the amazingly tall trees in a beautiful area of the world, sits a home.  secluded.  peaceful.

happy thursday, friends.

sometimes I wish...

House Beautiful

Sometimes I wish...in the middle of the afternoon that I could curl up on a big, comfy sofa, read a good book with a cup of hot earl grey tea, and relax.  So here's to those who have this wish today, too. :) Happy relaxing....(on a somewhat stressful Thursday).

"his and hers?" the butcher asked

so many things to be thankful for today. 
1.  my chase and his honest self
2.  my veterans that we celebrated with yesterday...ps. i have heard many war stories in the past year
3. rainy fridays- kind of relaxes me for the cool weekend ahead
4. the Lord placing me in the nutrition field- i truly love helping people understand it more in how it relays to them getting better, ...whether it's suggesting to a resident what to not eat with a colostomy, encouraging the check out lady at CM "how to get rid of her bloat," or suggest to chase and his friends the headache free way of eating...i love my role as a dietitian and nutrition coach
5. women of accoutability

thursday night filets

It's been a wild and crazy week for the most part.  Trying to finish out strong while enjoying it along the way.  Here's a peek at our Thurs night dinner.  I surprised my Mr. Wonderful with filets from CM....cooked off  with rosemary, mushrooms, Chilean red wine, and paired with red baked potatoes.
she: "Chase, come here, how done do you want your filet?"
he: "Medium" then he gets up to look at it.... "Remember I can't see red...  I'm sure it'll be great."
Never underestimate the great cooking skills of a dietitian- even if she isn't much a beef person. :)

thankfulness continues...

I didn't get to post yesterday or the day before, so I am going to catch up my thankfulness posts today...triple time. :)

 Aunt Veneica's last days with her precious family

November 2nd-  I am thankful for my family- all of them.  This has been quite an interesting year for us, and it seems that the family has grown closer than ever before.  This first picture above was taken in late August with my Aunt Veneica, cousins Darcee and Keelie and 2nd cousin Eli (along with Mom, Dad, and Sar Bear).  This picture is very sentimental to me because my Aunt past away 2 weeks after this was taken.
2nd picture- Sarah and I this summer when she and Kyle were here for break.  I love this picture because it's so us.  Sarah- the most silly, fun, random sister in the world ...I love her.

November 3rd- Mr. Wonderful.  (this pic has been up before but I love it because it was one of the first times that we hung out and it brings back great memories) Truly a one-of-a-kind friend and boyfriend who has walked with me through some challenging events in the past few weeks. 

Today, November 4th- I am thankful for Thursdays-- the almost FRiDay!  A few girls at work and I wish eachother "Happy_________" on certain days when the others are looking down, discouraged, or just stressed out in need of a pick-me-up.  Fortunately, today was a happy Thursday.  I am always thankful for days when the air is crisp, work's getting done, and homemade pizza's for dinner.! ! ! mmm.

What are you thankful for?
