Thursday Things 09.02.15

So. Now that my wrist is in a brace rather than a cast and Katie (my roomie) is on the brink of a full mono recovery, we are really starting to take advantage of Denver living (on the cheap). Since last week we’ve gone to Boulder, did a little downtown bar hopping, won the lottery tickets to see Book of Mormon (front row for $25 and omg, so funny!), and went to a Rockies game ($4 Rockpile tickets). In between all of the activities, I’ve been applying to jobs, going for runs around Wash Park trying to acclimate to the altitude, and meeting new friends. Most of these things are fun. Guess which isn’t.

BUT, all of these things are great:

  • These chocolate cakes: chocolate bourbon caramel macaron cake, ultimate snickers cupcakes, mint choc chip layer cake, and basil mascarpone buttercream frosted chocolate cake.
  • How to change your look with lipstick.
  • There are so many plant hooks by the windows of my new place. I think I need these diy hanging clay planters.
  • These square aprons are super cute and look easy to make, but then there are also these stylish aprons.
  • Do you suffer from sentimental clutter? I do, but I’m trying to get better!

Welp, happy Thursday! I’m going to get back to my funemployment…

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s a My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
