Kony 2012

 This morning I woke up and followed my usual routine of going to the gym, eating and planning my day. Out of nowhere my stomach began hurting so I thought I'd take a nap. I couldn't sleep so I logged on Facebook and other social media sites to find Kony plastered all over the place.

It seemed like a coincidence that Chris and I were just watch the movie Blood Diamond which sheds light on the child soldiers in Africa. I clicked on the video to find out more information, and felt I had to share.

After watching the video I thought of  all the things I take for granted and how blessed I am to have this life I am living. Everyone struggles with one thing or another but when you take a step back and look at the big picture, things could be much worse.

As a child I was always told by my parents how lucky I am to live in America and have the opportunity I am given. At times it becomes so normal that you forget what its like in other countries where they are not so lucky and for this reason I am spreading awareness to you all.

So lets make Kony famous for the destruction he has caused because no child should live in fear.
This is the link to watch the video, take the time and watch it.

Busy Beautiful day

Hey guys, just checking in on the blog world. I spent the weekend with my family nothing too wild and crazy to talk about there haha but today I met up with a friend, got some sun and went shopping!

This morning the family met up with my grandparents for breakfast. It's my grandpas 74th birthday today so we took him out to eat. I had the usual 2 eggs and a bagel.

 After breakfast we did some shopping. I was super excited to find a kitchen scale on sale and new heels! 

It's very difficult to find cute shoes that are wearable with all my feet injuries. I almost didn't buy any but at the last second I found the perfect pair. Wedges are the best heels ever!

Later in the afternoon I met up with an old friend, Jaime. We went to the pool for a few hours, gossiped and soaked up the sun. It was the perfect combination.

 

I had such a busy day so I'm just getting to my workout now. I'm off to the gym to work my arms. Catch ya later!

First day of Spring Break!

Happy Friday! I am in a wonderful mood thanks to the afternoon nap I just woke up from. I love napping and have not done so in such a long time. Its the best thing in the whole world.

I did not go to physical therapy volunteering this morning because my ankle is still not 100% healed but I did get a lot accomplished. My sister is coming down from Tallahassee where she is studying at Florida State University so I cleaned up her room and the entire house. Plus I bought my sis some junk food. The girl is a twig but loves her white bread and oreo cookies!

I wish I could spend the rest of the afternoon in the sun but my baby girl is sick. Candie has been having stomach issues for a few days now so after meal 3 Chris and I are driving her to the vet 45 minutes away.

Updates to come on my little girl. :(

I'll leave you all with a pic of meal 3 and myself, I will be taking pictures of myself every Friday to track my progress, I've lost a pound this week but I cant even tell haha, I'm more focused on what my body looks like than the pounds so it doesn't matter.

Have a great weekend! Do I look jacked yet? haha
