Back in the Habit

Know what movie that "sub" title is from?

Sister Act II, in case it's killing ya!

So one of my best (and longtime...like 23 years to be exact) friends blogs often. Her blog is fantastic. She is the one who actually inspired me to start mine some time ago. We were texting back and forth today and she told me it's her 5th year of blogging! Consistently blogging. Is she not a super star? 

I have been so on and off on my blogging. I was great at the beginning, but life happened at the end of summer 2015 and I kind of fell out of love with it & was suuuuper splotchy. So, that being said, I want to get back into it.

There's a lot to catch you up on in my life. Seriously. So much.

I have a new job, new house, a fantastic, lifting loving boyfriend, closer to my parents, my nephews are growing SO fast, I started a new business...

In the mean time, some updated photos!

Blake & I

To catch you up on this guy...He is pretty great. He has a lot of the same interests and passions as I do--lifting, body building, eating clean (and the opposite--PIZZAAAA), music, relaxing, family, reading, etc. But he also has his own interests and passions that make him HIM. He is unbelievably good at rapping. Like insane good. He's got a few videos on YouTube, rapped the 'best man' speech @ his friends wedding, and could probably knock something out outta nowhere after a couple of brewskis if you asked him. ;) He's super good/smart/knowledgeable at mostly anything related to science. SO SMART. I can't say a word and he knocks it out like it's nothing. Um K, Blake! Lol!

How Blake & I got started was kind of weird. We both admit it was so weird.

I used to get up at the crack of dawn to workout over a year and a half ago, and I'd check my snapchat stories, and he would STILL be awake at 4am. Finally, one morning at 4am, I messaged him and asked, "Do you ever sleep?!" And the rest is history... I will say, he was supportive through some tough times and obstacles over the last year and a half. Specifically prepping for the physique show I did in the Fall of 2015. Now, we're two peas in a pod when it comes to body building!

My sister's family

The boys are growing so quickly it's almost surreal. They are the sweetest boys I know. Mom & Dad are great and definitely have their hands full, but they always seem to make it work. All 3 sets of grandparents adore these two cuties...as do all the aunts and cousins. I can't handle that they'll be 2 in June. How???

P.S. My favorite outfits they've ever owned---their pimp suits ;)
...OK, so maybe not my FAVORITE favorite outfits, but they take a close 3rd place to Dino & Shark outfits. :)

My family

I know this photo represents a small portion of my ever growing family. But everyone is well. :) This picture is one of my favorites and I hope we can make it a yearly event! And, BEEBS! She is doing so well! <3 She likes Blake more than she likes me, I think.
