I am back in the lovely State of Nebraska! I made the 6 hour drive yesterday! (PS did you know I finally got instagram??)
I made it as far as my dad’s but decided to stop since I was apparently in the middle of two major storms. Slept like a rock and for some reason decided to hang here a little longer to “do laundry” slash to put off packing and write this post highlighting some of my favorite things as of late!
Favorite Trips:
I actually haven’t slept in my own bed for a couple of (three maybe??) weeks with Blend Retreat,
Hanging out with Dave in the twin cities (where we will be moving next week..eek!!),
and Memorial Day weekend at the farm.
Favorite Quotes:
I am a huge lover of inspirational quotes. It says so on my Twitter profile. I also have a whole pinterest board dedicated to this. These in particular stood out to me recently.
Favorite Thoughtful Posts:
All of these posts show revelations and connections that were made at Blend Retreat this year!

| Love this girlie!! Roomies for life!! |
I actually added a whole folder on my Facebook page for Blend Retreat!
Favorite Go-Against-The-Grain articles/posts:
An Open Letter to Michelle Obama: Beyonce is NOT a Role Model
I really have to agree with this article. Although she is successful in her industry, I don’t feel we as women should be looking up to her and I especially don’t think that young girls should!
Should Your Workout Leave You Sore for DAYS?

If you haven’t read this, please do! And join the discussion! Please realize that you are not alone if group fitness classes intimidate you, so join in and have fun, but listen to your body! The instructor will try to get you to push yourself and if you need that, go for it, but mostly listen to your body!!
Favorite Funnies:
Technological Warfare by Passive Aggressive Notes
This note is SO TRUE when it comes to cellphone usage these days. I am definitely one of those people, but I try to put the phone away at meal times with people at least!
Awkward Cat Sleeping Positions by Buzzfeed
Dave sent this link to me as I was getting ready to fly back to Omaha from Utah (I am kind of a nervous flyer). I didn’t get to open it until after arriving, but I couldn’t help but giggle at every picture!!
Favorite Foodie Find:
Skinny Peanutbutter Swirl Brownies by Sally’s Baking Addiction
Pinned to my Sweet Tooth board here. I have a feeling I will be pinning a lot more foodie things since it will be my job to help Dave eat healthier! He’s been in hotels almost two years and it’s time to get some fresh eats into him!

Good luck moving! I can’t believe it’s here already. Before I know it, it’ll be time for me to move!
That’s a scary thought …
Thanks friend! When do you move??
Around the third weekend of July :/. I know it’s just going to sneak up on me! I’m excited, but nervous to deal with 2 years worth of apartment build-up, haha.
haha good luck!! I only moved in my apartment 4 months and I was surprised at the amount of things to pack up!! 😉

good luck with moving! moving is never fun but once you get to the new place and unpack, that part can be fun as for us it gives us that feeling that we are starting over. and hopefully get to do things better this time around 😉
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Thanks! I know it will be good once we are all settled! 🙂

Those brownies look insanely good! I pretty much love anything that involved PB and chocolate :).
Yes ditto there friend!
