Thursday Things 01.21.16

My little sister, Jaci, got engaged just before the new year. When she called to tell me I freaked out a little bit and maybe cried a few tears of joy. Jaci and Seth (her future husband) are perfect for each other, so it makes me super happy that they are getting married (this May!!!).

Earlier this week she sent me a little package containing delicious macarons from CH Patisserie and a card asking if I’d be her Maid of Honor. I already assumed that I was going to be MOH, so I wasn’t really surprised, but I was super excited about being formally asked and about having a bunch of macarons in my possession. They are so good!

Annndddd now that I’m officially her MOH, I get to start planning the bachelorette party. It’ll be the best, because she’s the best.

These things aren’t necessarily the best, but they are still pretty neat:

  • Smoothies are great, but it’s ok to eat baked goods in January too, like these bars: unicorn bars, dark chocolate fig oatmeal bars, frosted graham cracker bars, nutty blondies, and oatmeal raisin cookie bars.
  • Michael Pollan’s new documentary “Cooked” is coming to Netflix and it sounds pretty interesting.
  • Would you put Apple Cider Vinegar in your hair? I take a watered down shot of it every morning and I think I might try this too.
  • This finger knit fabric statement necklace is adorable! Looks like it’s time to find an old t-shirt to cut up.
  • These 5 styling tricks are kind of fun. I plan on trying the jacket one for sure.

Have a great Thursday!

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 ❤️
