Junk in the trunk aint gettin me no hunk!



Last night I had a devastating experience. And I mean truly devastating. I was heading out for a night with the girls (and of course my dear soulmate Scott!) and feeling somewhat rushed and not amply prepared for the beauty of these women, I decided to throw on my most favorite pair of jeans. You know the kind, they fit in all the right places, they are worn in and shape your hips perfectly, and no matter what you pair them with you know they are going to look smokin! Well there was a slight dent in my plan as I pulled on these perfect pair of jeans and soon realized that the zipper was not happy about what I was about to do. The pulling, the squirming, the sucking in....the zipper desperately whispered "you no longer fit into me, please stop trying". After 3 years together, we had seen the best of times, the worst of times, the most embarrassing of times. We had been loyal to each other, relied on one another, and trusted that no matter what they were my go-to. And now I have to face the facts that they are just too snug. And as mortifying as this is to admit I realize I do have a few problems:
  1. Crave Cupcakes
  2. Hagen Daz Ice Cream
  3. Midnight McDonalds runs
  4. Mini Eggs
  5. Earls

Now, taking these 5 things into consideration I realize that my 5'2 frame can not sustain such a diet. What was I thinking?! And more importantly why has no one mentioned a single word to me! So, here I face the ultimate conundrum, do I do the one thing that will be hard (workout) to fit back into these lovely friends, or do the other thing that is easy (shop)....because clearly this junk in the trunk aint gettin me no hunk!

Things I Learned About Myself by Moving 5,000 KM + An Ocean Away from Home

Call me crazy - but 1 month after getting married I told Matt I was ready for an adventure.  As if getting married wasn't a crazy enough adventure!  I learned very quickly after being with Matt that I needed to stop  asking for things because he always had a way of making them happen!  March 2015 a job posting appeared on the island of Kauai.  At first it seemed like a pipe dream...I mean who wouldn't just apply for a job in Hawaii?!  So that is what we did, applied for a job...had 3 long distance interviews...told our families + friends there was "potentially" an opportunity...they flew us out there for a final interview...we had a job offer...and sh!t got real!  After a lot of back and forth we decided to book 2 one way tickets to Kauai.  And here we are, 1 year later; and it's been the biggest adventure of my life so far.  Like most curve balls in life there is always a lesson waiting for you to be learned...so here is what I can honestly say has been my learne

Good things come to those who love....

I believe, or at least I hope that I believe that everyone will fall in love at least once. Others may experience it more, some less. I have no idea where I land on this continuum . I imagine somewhere between never wanting to date again, and wanting it all. Bit of a wide range, but you can never be too hasty! However, there have been a few experiences in which I never wish to relive, in fact even better, I have started to compose a list of things I would rather do than have to be left standing alone at the gas station of love using the self-service pump, aka go through that again! Get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face Contemplate if everything I though was right is wrong (black is white, up is down, short is long...) Slam my fingers in a door (again and again and again! But only 3 times, any more than that is risking permanent damage) Shove an ice pick under my fingernails Wear black leather in the hottest weather Hit a tree, these fender benders aren't really killing me Ju

The things I am thankful for

Image
With Thanksgiving coming and going this year I was blessed with the opportunity to sit in a room of 20+ people and share and listen to all the things in which the people whom I care the most about are thankful for in their lives. While this list can be entertaining with 9 wonderful nieces and nephews who spout off answers like "chocolate cake", "Auntie Rachel", "Dad" and "Lego", it is also filled with heartfelt answers of family, health, love and appreciation and of course with 4 girls in one family a few tears. I spent this week thinking about the simple things in life I was thankful for.... A brother who who always takes the time to listen Big sisters being patient with little sisters Cab drivers who know when to talk and when to be quiet PVR - so I never have to worry about missing all those girly shows Good friends who always make the bad days seem not so hard and the good days feel like heaven A mom who worries about you night and day but wo
