I am praying to God that whoever actually reads my blog has heard of Bill Engvall. When I was a youngster (not sure how old) my older sisters started listening to his “Here’s Your Sign” album. On CD because that’s how we did it back in my ‘olden times’. If you haven’t listened to it, you must. I know for sure it’s on Spotify, but you can probably find it everywhere. Anyways, the gist is, people say stupid things, and they deserve a sign saying so…aka “here’s your sign.”

I Loved Justice League.
We went and saw the new Justice League movie over the weekend. Before we went, Justin mentioned someone on Facebook posted how they hated what the movie did to Wonder Woman. Made me curious, so I was even more glad we were on our way to see it. I completely forgot what he said during the movie. I ab-so-lutely loved it! I have seen every superhero movie that’s been made in the past few years. This was actually my favorite out of all of them. Even the Avengers. Shocking, I know. One of the main reasons, the length of the fight scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I love movies with…

My Marriage Doesn’t Have a Hashtag.
I have an addiction to my cell phone. I am the first to admit it. Sometimes it’s hard to just set it aside and not think about it. I don’t post on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter very often though. Mostly, I use it because I feel bored. So I see what other people are up to, or read incredibly stupid articles about incredibly stupid topics. One thing I see many posts of are couples doing things together. That is one thing I’m not great at doing, for many reasons. When Justin and I actually do things together, I like to be in the moment. I try to keep my phone…

A Family Recipe.
I LOVE Strawberries. They are my favorite red thing ever! My sister gave me a recipe book the first Christmas we were married and in it were recipes from both of our families. It was such a lovely gift and I treasure it. Mostly because I have found recipes that I completely forgot about. It’s not that I forgot about this precise recipe, but I haven’t made it in a very, very long time. My Aunt Mariane died the summer I graduated high school from a long battle with cancer. This strawberry salad creates a deep memory of her for me. This was at every family dinner we had. It…

Sore.
We did some “fun” workouts yesterday with our trainer. It was brutal. We did some leg and butt stuff and now…now it is difficult to walk. And sit. And stand. I think you get the picture. I mean, everything else is also sore, but mostly my ass. Which gives me hope that someday I will actually have one! As I am reading this, I am fully aware that this sounds a little…dirty. But…it’s not going to change, so you’re welcome. This post is only about exercise, nothing else. Also, I slept super wrong Monday night and my neck was killing me yesterday. That mixed with a headache and some fun…

What I’ve Been Watching.
I love watching TV and movies. It’s like a nice escape from my everyday life. We don’t have cable or anything. We use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and a Plex server. So, here is what I have been watching recently: Liv & Maddie I like to release my inner child sometimes so I binge watched Liv & Maddie (Disney Channel) on Netflix this past week or so. I watched the series finale last night and cried for the last two episodes. *sigh* I’m such a sap. It was a fun show to watch. I mostly watched it because the main actress is Dove Cameron. I became a fan of hers after…

2 Years.
Monday marks our two year wedding anniversary. I have learned so very much over the past couple years. Marriage isn’t easy. Period. End of story. It isn’t easy, but it is absolutely worth it. I do miss the relaxed days of being single, but I wouldn’t give this up for anything. I never went through to painful dating phase. But I do miss the days of eating popcorn for dinner, making plans without checking with someone else first, things like that. I have never felt more comfortable in my own life before. I am completely and 100% myself. It feels so amazing to just let me freak flag fly. We…

Having Courage To Go For It.
These past couple weeks have been filled with some ups and downs. I applied for the position of Executive Assistant to the Owner of the company I currently work for. After talking to the current assistant, the job sounded amazing. Like everything I would ever want in a position. The week leading up to my interview, my anxiety kicked up to about 5,000%. It was horrible! So horrible! Not the interview, my anxiety. After I quit working at the bank, I got rid of a lot of my dress clothes so finding something to wear for said interview was excruciating. Luckily, I had an amazing friend who texted and snapped…

Oh Goodness Gracious.
I have been slacking on so many things. Let’s see. What is new in our lives…. Halloween: Today is Halloween! I love Halloween! I love dressing up and pretending to be someone (or something) I’m not. Justin dressed up as a WWE Champion with this snazzy blazer we found at Goodwill (after removing those horrible horrible shoulder pads). A group of us in my department decided to dress us as zombie disney characters. I had zero idea what I wanted to do, up until the last minute. Hello Zombie Maleficent. I seriously don’t think I have ever used that much hairspray. Ever. I felt so incredibly flamable. I have never dressed as…

Road Trip!
Since I love bullet points so much, I decided to write this post with just bullet points. You’re welcome! We left Wednesday afternoon for Michigan so Justin could compete in the State Games of America in tennis. This podcast was a lifesaver. It was so funny, and great, and everything I have ever wanted in a podcast. Justin surprised me with a side trip to St. Louis to see the arch, since I had never seen it before. It was amazing, and so much larger than I ever imagined. We will be going back at some point so we can go inside. We spent the night at an Airbnb in Illinois…
