Sweat, Mud & Tears (of laughter)

This Saturday me and a group of friends, did the Austin Colour Run. All funds went to Habitat for Humanity, and the general idea was for every K you ran you got a different coloured paint powder thrown at you. It was fabulous even after a downpour the night before which turned the "track" into a slodge pit (atleast 6 inches of mud) we still managed to have a great time. Even if many running shoes were lost... and found again buried deep in mud, at one point me and one friend of mine decided it would be easier to do the uphill climb without shoes, it was for a little while anyhow. It made me more motivated to keep up with my running, next one is the Capitol 10K in March, can't wait!

I know how much everyone loves Anthropologie, but not as much as me. Everytime I dare to go in that shop I spend so long just taking it all in. Luckily theres a REI next door so B doesn't get to impatient.

This is my favourite thing in the whole store I have been eyeing it for a good year and a half now,  I just can't justify spending $180 for a shower curtain. Maybe one day.

Ok so maybe this is also my favourite thing in the whole store.

Ok so maybe I have lots of favourite things when it comes to Anthro. Just thought you would all like to share this beauty with me :)

23 years young!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I am so excited for my 23rd year on this earth.

Sunday lovely Sunday



Turtles at the lake



We spent our Sunday downtown, we walked down by town lake, then went and had some delicious smoothies and went and spent some time at my favourite two stores REI and Anthropologie.

What a fabulous Sunday!

This news isn't very new, so it may not even qualify as news, but I guess it's new to you guys so here it goes!


I joined the Army.. back in October, it wasn't a very hard decision to make I've thought about it since I was about 14 and then life just happened. Although my dreams where to join the British Army, but since that isn't quite possible with my choice of husband, US Army it was, either way we are fighting the same war, and to serve is to serve right?


I will be tough being away from B and my boys for 6 months (and then some more depending where I get stationed) but it was the right time for me to do it, before we start a family and whilst B is preoccupied with university.

I leave in approx. 10 weeks and I am so excited, and slightly nervous, the nerves are mainly linked to the fitness aspects of it. Hence why I decided to hire a semi-personal trainer (semi-personal because there are other two girls in my small class). Today was my first day and she kicked my BOTTOM! She is awesome I am so excited for my next session.

Dinner with some friends.

Last week we went to a mediterranean restaurant called Pharas with some of our friends, the food was amazing and the company was even better.

The little things that made my weekend

Brandon was in San Antonio this whole weekend. So I made the most of it. I watched girly movies, painted my nails, took a bubble bath and did all sorts of stuff I don't have time to do when he's around.

skyped my baby sister and my precious niece...

caught up on reading

hung out with these two... although most of the time they were staring out the window waiting for daddy to get home.

I then went for a nice walk around ladybird lake with my good friend Christy and took some fabulous pictures, then got home and realised that hubby had messed with the settings and none of them came out so was a little sad when i finally figured it out, it's my own fault for not checking the settings before I started shooting. I guess I'm still an ammature photographer.

Brandon's home tonight, and leave's again tomorrow..booo :(
