Hello Friends! Oh I needed some family and love this past Sunday! School was really getting to me last week and it was so refreshing to be around people I love and have some good laughs, good food, and a nice long walk reminiscing about things like how my friends and I used to make…

Goodbye Grandma Knapp
Hello Friends! I don’t know about you, but my weekend went by with a big whoosh! Thursday night, late late at night, Dave (the BF)’s dear grandmother passed away. She was 99 years old and lived a long and feisty life. I only knew her from visiting her in the nursing home and she was…
{WIAW #34} Summer Staples
Hello Friends! So I wasn’t going to do WIAW, because that would involve visiting other blogs, which I’m temporarily giving up. I did decide to pop in on Jenn’s WIAW because she told me via Twitter that she had created an ACV concoction that she wouldn’t be sharing until today. (*sigh* I broke down…
Zoo-exercise
Hello Friends! Well I am pooped. And famished. (And overly-dramatic.) Today I had the pleasure of exploring the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo. Apparently Trip Advisor rated it the best zoo in the US. No big deal. 😉 I’m so excited!! I met my good friend Emily who had her little babe Rhea and the little…
The Day Before
Hello Friends! Well it’s been tapering week! (Which to be quite honest…wasn’t all too different from a lot of other weeks in my training for my first ever half marathon.) I only ran a short run once, instead of two short and one long run. I tried to mostly get some walking in. Sunday: Rest/Eat…
Happy (Late) Mother’s Day + Cupcake Champs
Happy (Late) Mother’s Day Friends! Apparently we celebrate things late in my family. Celebrated the Daddio’s birthday a week late…celebrated Mother’s Day last night… It’s okay though, as long as we get together right? As I said, last night we celebrated Mother’s Day with my family (minus sister Courtney..she was working). Sister Rachel, Brother Josh,…
Happy (Late) Birthday Daddio!
Hello Friends! {First of all: Did you enter my Fitmixer Giveaway?? It closes today, so head on over and come back for the rest of this post!!} Since it was the Daddio’s birthday the night I got back from Blend, we didn’t celebrate it until that Saturday. It was a little challenging getting together since…
All Studied Up and Smart and All
Hello Friends! Well I did it. Participated in the graduation ceremony for my associate’s degree. Did I want to go? Heck no! Daddio and I If you know me at all, the last thing I want to do is be around people I don’t know and walk on a stage in front of thousands of…
It’s My Birthday and I’ll Run if I Want To
**Happy Easter!!** It was super weird being out of town on my birthday, not with my family. But it did fall on Easter weekend so of course we have to split up time equally with both families (me and the BF). First card is from my youngest sister Rachel. It says “Happy Birthday and Easter!” …
It’s all about Preparation + Country Love
Hello Friends! As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I hung out with the BF and his dad at their family farm this weekend. It was a much needed escape from everyday life and stress. The farm is in the middle of Nebraska somewhere. (I’m not the one driving…I don’t pay attention.) The house isn’t…
