Another Friday has yet again approached us. It has been a fast and busy week for me. Oh - but very good! Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures to show for it. I wish I did. Seen so many beautiful sights this week.

So here's a look at my favorite moments for the week.

1. On Sunday, I had a great workout. Then right after, my husband and I did an impromptu date night. Sort of. We went for a walk along the Greenbelt for a few miles.  It was fun see the rafters floating down the river, taking a tour inside the nature center, enjoying the sites, etc,.. Then, we heard lightning and then it started sprinkling on us. Needless to say, it was such a great evening.

2.  Tuesday evening,  was time well spent with some of my family. One from Alaska, another all the way from the Michigan. We all sat down outside of the Cottonwood Grill, drinking wine, eating, and just catching up. I'm a big family gal, and I just love being with them.

3. Saturday night was the Snake River Stampede rodeo. That, my friend, has to be one of the best entertaining rodeos I've ever been to. I think it is better than the PBR! My favorite would be the bronc riders, and I'd say the steer wrestlers. I think my husband should become a steer wrestler... just saying.  On another note - how cute is this mutton busting?!

4. Wednesday, was an evening event for work. Just for educational purposes. But, I did see one of favorite friends that I haven't seen in a few weeks. Plus, I bought myself a kimono ( my new obsession). So comfy!

5. I'm so excited to say that they're going to be a lot of great things happening at my career. We got word about a certain thing that we've been working on for months. But I can't say what it is just yet - stay tuned.

How was your week?

A large part of me wanted to sit down in front of my computer to write a post for today but I didn't. Why? I have received a call stating my cousin from Alaska and uncle from Michigan was out here visiting. Last night, we had a really nice dinner together while catching up. By the time I left them, it was late and I was too tired.

So, I'm a little behind, and got nothing for you today. I hate that feeling. I'll leave you with this, a cute little video I came across a few weeks ago. It'll make you smile.Oh and hopefully you'll have Facebook to.

Have a great Wednesday.

Well I'm about 2/3rds the way through of my 3 month series of getting healthy. It's been a process that's for sure. Again, I was hoping by this point, I would be able to share with you my costumed  workout plan from the trainer. But, it seems that the trainer has quite the gym. They are, however, are in the works of finding a new one.  Soooo we will have to wait a bit longer, unfortunately. For this week, I'll  be showing my go-to essentials I use to keep myself on track. They are the bottle blender, gummy multi-vitamins, lean protein powder, camel back water bottle, my phone, ear buds, and a mini cooler. On another side note, I have another goal to work for. My new goal for the week is to really amp up my water intake. I've done my research, and come to find out I should drink an ounce of water for every pound that I weigh. Crazy, huh!? I'm thinking how and the heck can I drink all those ounces?! If a person weighs 180, that is drinking gallon and a half!

Thanks for visiting today. And please like my Facebook page!

It is another Friday yet again. This week went fast! Though yesterday, I wasn't feeling my best, then ruined for me to head to the gym. Hopefully, I'll be better today.

Here's a look at some of my favorite moments of the week.

1. One of my friends from collage drove a ways and stayed the night cause he had a job interview the next morning. It was good to see him and to catch up.

2. I ran 3 miles in like 30-32 min! That was huge for me since I haven't ran that well since I was running all the time.

3. My boss got approved to buy an office space for work. I'm so excited to be moving into a actual space. Did I mention I work with such an awesome team!?

4. Starting to feel confident in my own skin again. Though I still have a long ways to go.

5. I won a bottle of whiskey at an Interior Designer luncheon! Isn't that funny?! I could tell some of the guys wanted me to see if I wanted something else.  I said "No, my husband will love this!"

How was your week? Tell me about it!

It's rodeo week! Anybody that knows me personally, knows that I'm in love with two different worlds.  The designer world and the wild west. Yes, I know, they're almost polar opposites.

In honor of rodeo week (in my area anyway), I thought it would be fun to do a style post, and perhaps keep doing them every now and then. This look is very simple, perhaps a little out-dated but it's sophisticated and honestly, I like it that way. P.S. So does my husband!

Tank Top | Maurices 

Jean Shorts | Old Navy

Plaid Shirt (old) | Old Navy

Boots (old)  | similar

Jewelry - made personally as a bridesmaids gift

Do you like rodeos?

P.S.S. I'm really not always mean looking. I was honestly born with it! That's the story I'm told anyway. Someday I'll have to share it. 

Earlier this week, I was invited from a friend back in high school to do a free 30 day slim challenge. Of course, since I'm doing my 3 month getting healthy, I jumped at the opportunity!

You should join to! You even get a free coach! You can ask to join here to be included on this challenge. Then you'll need to make your profile under your assigned coach (which she is just awesome!), and you can find that here.

OH! And one more important thing, you have til this Monday to sign up!!!

So come and join!

Checking into my other favorite blogs one morning, I cam across this post. I thought it would be a fun to do this little post to reflect and document what is currently happening in life. In the next year, I hope to remember to go back and reflect on this again. Here is my addition on taking stock.
