bucket list #44

So i was looking through my blog and trying to get some things updated when i noticed my bucket list. I read through just to make sure i hadnt accomplished something and forgot to blog it. Well i DID! number 44. Ski a black <>! This last march i went with my husband and his youth group to Colorado, Winter Park Resort and we finished our last run of the last day on a black diamond with moguls. if you ski you know that those are the hardest thing to ski! they are windy and bumpy and you have to have full control of you skis the entire time! There is NO relaxin on a mogul! well i am so glad to say that i made it down and i was so excited.

I only get to ski once or twice a year if im lucky, so after three years of skiing thats really only 12 days ive ever skied. not bad huh?

everyone should try snow skiing at least once! you will love it! just take lessons or find an awesome teacher like i did...my hubby!

Jobs

About a week ago I posted about my current situation with my husband and moving to san antonio. We have been struggling to find work and had a really tough time learning what God was trying to teach us through our situation. But our faith and perseverance finally brought us Joy. Brent was hired on with a wonderful company that has tremendous opportunity. He has been finishing up the paperwork and details the passed few days and is anxious to get started! 

My current situation is hopeful! I am working at a Non Profit Coffee House called 'The Foundry' and im loving it! They staff is great and we have volunteers that come in and help all the time. Their enthusiasm for life at the foundry makes me so joyful when Im working.  I am also waiting to hear back from another company that has a lot of growth opportunity for me. I want to pursue my future career and i think this could be just what i need! 

Id like to thank God for the opportunities he has given us and all the friends and family that never stopped praying for our success in jobs! We love you all!!

Funny Halloween :-)

So my best friends are just the most amazing people and they are always sending me the most hilarious pictures!....

Not only do they crack me up, they show people that Halloween doesn't have to be scary! It can be fun and more about the autumn season than costumes and skeletons.

Hope everyone is enjoying the gorgeous weather and beginning of the holiday season.

A season of learning..

I've learned so much in 3 months. What I'm good at, what I want to do, who I want to spend time with, and how to truly tryst on God. We all have times in our lives when things just don't seem To go right. well this season I've learned that we have to constantly keep faith and persevere. I am so happy to say that it has paid off and my husband got a job!!! Thank everyone for prayers and those that helped us! We love you all and are so grateful to have u on our lives.

Lately...

It's been quite a while since I last blogged and I'm happy to say I am ready to get back and make some great contributions to the world of bloggers. This past few months have been a change to say the least. My husband and I moved to san Antonio and finally feel like we can enjoy ourselves but we have a major draw back. Unemployment. It's a tough thing to deal with but we are trying our hardest to find what we can.

I recently started working at a coffee shop called The Foundry. It is a non profit that supports Christianity and loves to help the world around them. I'm loving the people and the coffee!

Well I hope everyone is as excited about this as I am!! So ready to get back in the game!

Bucket List #35

So I was reading over my bucket list and I realized that a have BUILT SOMETHING! Brent and I built a Bar to put in our home when we moved away from school. Brent definitely did most of the math and design but the actual building we did together. His dad is a mechanical engineer and has lots of wood carving equipment. We cut, sanded, glued and nailed everything together over a period of a few weeks. It was a fun project and I'm glad we did it. But I don't really see myself doing that much more these days.  other than the fact that the saw scared the crud out of me, It's messy and hard to maintain a weather free atmosphere where we live. We don't have a garage to keep things or store them while in the process of building.

All in all I enjoyed the task it self and it was very rewarding to know that other people can appreciate your handy work.

Here is a picture of Brent's Bar. 

It has a "P" on the top but it has faded. We will probably cover it with a liquid plastic but we dont have the space to do it where it wont get all over our floors.  

 Bucket List #35 Complete. 

The plastic finish looks something like this. Brent built this high night stand table for me as a proposal gift. 

Whats on your Bucket List?

Sticking to it.

Today I tried on a pair of snow ski pants I bought in march. I have worn them one time and today I could not get them on! Ugh so disappointed. I have wavered in healthy eating too.
Which I'm not so proud of...I need to find that band wagon an get back on for good!!

I've been to a crossfit..loved it but not cheap!

I want to try yoga but I don't know if it's enough cardio.

And every time I try to run I get bored after a week.

There has got to be something out there that is inexpensive and fun!?...

But I also can't do anything that requires video game console. Not enough room in my apartment or motivation when I'm cooped up.

Any ideas readers?!
