Feel Good Friday!

Since one of my fav bloggers is hosting Feel Good Friday, I decided to participate this week. I should try and do this every week b/c otherwise I suck at blogging b/c its a good way to recognize the good in life!

So for this I think I will make a list of 5 things that are makin' me happy this week!

1. This song. I love it for the lyrics, the upbeat tempo and the fact that it is such a backhanded compliment kind of song. And its a great summertime song, just roll the windows down on your car and sing at the top of your lungs!

 

2. My husband. This morning I was completely stressed out by the fact that I got up late, my hair looked like shit, and I hadn't slept well. He always can calm me down and make me feel better. He told me I was beautiful and that my hair looked great (even though I still disagreed). He is the best! (He even wipes my sweat :))

3. Turning 28. I know I bitched about it on Monday, but I really don't mind being another year older. I know that this next year is going to be a good one and I have a lot to look forward to! 

4. Friends! I love my friends. When I need some girl time I know someone will always be there for me! They are the best!! (Yes, I was wasted in this second pic, it was my bachelorette party after all!)

5. The fact that I have lost 40 lbs!! I hit my 40 lbs mark on Tuesday at my WW meeting and I was so happy! I love that I have committed myself to being healthier, and making sure I am healthy for my (future) babies and for myself. I feel so much better about myself and I am so much less self-conscience than I was before losing this weight! Its awesome :) To get to my "goal weight" I need to lose another 35 lbs! I know now, after losing the first 40 lbs, that I can do it! :) Heres a before and after for ya'll....

Before:

(The 2nd picture makes me want to vomit now....gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

 

After: 

( I couldn't find a great picture, and the one with me in the gray tank top I look like I am slouching...Oops)

Really? Do I have to?

So today is my 28th birthday. I REALLY do not want to turn 28. Is that weird or what? It is way too close to 30 and I am feeling like I haven't accomplished everything I thought I would by the time I was 28. But oh well. Life goes on and I will get over it :) So tonight I am going here for dinner..

I will be getting some of these...

And then go home and have a piece of this...

Birthdays are great b/c you can eat what you want and have a great excuse!
I hope ya'll had a great weekend :) I did! Pool time, a pedicure, pizza, Flugtag (which was AWESOME! Someone set the world record! Go MN!), then a birthday celebration with the in-laws yesterday.

Neglectful much?

Geez someone has been slacking on this blog! Wow...they need to get it together ;)
Ok, so I know I need to post about my vacation yet but I seriously haven't even looked at the pictures yet much less put them on Facebook (God forbid). I need to get on that!
Lately by the time I get home I dont want to look at a computer much less put pictures on Facebook or try and upload them onto blogger. Which, by the way, they need to come up with something a little more user friendly when it comes to putting a lot of pictures in a post!

But...in other exciting news. I got another horse!!! Last weekend at our horse show a girl who we show with offered me a horse that wasn't going to be great for what she wanted him for, but he is going to be an awesome riding horse! He is only a year old so we won't be riding him for a couple years but I am already SO excited about this little dude! Oh, did I mention he was FREE?!?! WTF? I love it! He is so beautiful, and so laid back, and so sweet. Especially for a baby. He acts like he's 6 not one! Excuse the poor, poor quality of these pictures they were taken with my phone. I will put better ones up when I get some.

 

He is just too cute!!! I love him already!

Other than that, nothing too exciting in my life! Next Friday one of my bff's and I are having a pool party (at a local outdoor waterpark) and I cant wait! The weather better freaking cooperate. :)

I hope ya'll have a great weekend and I will work on my vacation posts. Soon...I promise :)

Still alive...

Hello all!
Sorry I have been MIA all week...We got back from vacation late Sunday night after a GREAT 2 weeks! I will update more when I get my pictures all in order. It will be picture overload, let me assure you! I took SO many pics.
This week has been filled with catching up on work crap. I usually blog during work so playing catch up has hindered my blogging ability :)
I leave tonight for a horse show too, so I have been busy getting ready for that...
I will be back next week! I promise...don't leave me! :)
Have a great weekend!! Ill leave you with the one picture I have on facebook from our trip...its from Banff...
