In This Moment

It's about damn time that I write another blog post.

I've missed writing, but I can't say that I haven't been having one hell of a good time in my absence from the blogging world. 

Lately, I am just so content with who I am, with what I'm doing, and with where I'm headed. I am so happy in this moment.

That may seem like such a little thing, but for me, It's HUGE.

These past few months have just really shown a light on what I want my life to be about.... LIVING.

I've met some amazing people, started some really great new friendships, gone on fun adventures, been spontaneous, laughed, cried, then laughed some more. 

In the past I've gotten ahead of myself. I was so worried about the future and what was going to happen, and when, and where, and how... and it never really got me any closer to what I wanted. It just made me unhappy, because I felt like things weren't working out the way I wanted.

But now I realize that living in the moment and worrying about today is so freeing, and really helps you in the grand scheme of things. I'm more relaxed and in turn it's made the people around me be able to relax and we have all just been having such a great time. 

I wanted to share some pictures of some of the past few weeks of my life. Little moments that I will cherish forever. Days I spent really living in the moment.

Training for runs

Competing in mud runs & 5Ks

Lake Time

Going out with friends

Road trip to Austin

Outdoor activities

And of course my all time favorite: Working out!

Wednesday is my 23rd birthday, and it's not really a big deal. No big milestone to celebrate or anything like that, but it's a special birthday for me. It's the first birthday I will have where I feel like I really know myself, really love myself, and can really be proud to look back over the last year of my life and can appreciate how far I've come.

Looking at all of these photos, I can see what an amazing summer I've had so far; I am so lucky! I'm leaving for a 5 day break from work on Thursday and I can't wait to make some new memories with the people I love. Have a wonderful week everyone!
