i'm livin' in the 21st century, doin' something mean to it...

i just booked my flight to chi-town.

towards the end of may, i will visiting the gorgeous doctor to-be above.

pretty and smart...she's the full package, for sure!

gosh, i love this girlie!

we have been friends for years and, although we haven't lived in the same state since highschool...we have still maintained a wonderful friendship. i've never been to chicago and its been a while since i've seen my girl, so i'm def counting down for this trip! look out, chicago!

{get it right, get it tight}

i mentioned before that i recently joined a gym.

okay, so i'm still loving it, but i have an issue....

i don't know about you ladies, but i go to the gym to WORKOUT!

if i have my head phones on...is that a cue to come talk to me??? ummmm....i think NOT!

why do some men think its okay to stare at you while you're trying to workout?

yeah, admire all you want, but lets put a time frame on how much staring you can do in two hours. geeezzz.

and, i don't mean just a couple glances here or there, but full-on stalker staring...that's scaring, yo.
at least wave, give me a thumbs up or something...lol

sometimes, its hard being such a pretty girl. i'm sure you ladies can agree with me, right? lol :)

i signed up for sessions with a trainer...and, its a guy!
he looks hard core! my first session is on sunday afternoon.
hopefully, i'll make it out alive. wish me luck!

anyone ever tried this workout before???

i'm body aches just reading it...lol

hope you guys have a wonderful weekend :)

sweat, tears and lifetime.

i'm officially a gym member. a rush gym member.

i've never really been a fan of gyms, but i finally got suckered into joining by my bestie.

what are friends for, right?

now, we can workout together (everyday....NOT!) on the days i don't train with the running group. yay!

The Rush is pretty darn awesome! all together they have 23 locations in TN, SC, NC and GA.

i've been taking advantage of all the fun classes they offer...

on Saturday, i enjoyed 1 hour of Yogi (Yoga/Pilate's), 1 hour of Zumba and 8 miles on the bicycle.

i was pretty pooped and sweaty afterwards, but it felt great to change up my workout routine a bit.

 

Army Wives

 the new season of Army Wives premiered last night!
this is gonna be a great season :)

and...a new show premiered last night as well....



Coming Home

 

Coming Home

 dear Lifetime,

i love you. you know i do.

and, you know i'm a such a tear box. that's probably why you create shows like 'Coming Home'. i'll probably need to invest buying a whole year supply of tissues. thanks!

sincerely, your biggest fan

Coming Home...wow.

can you imagine being away from your loved ones for more than a year?

coming from a military family, luckily i've never experienced deployment.

but, my heart does go out to those who experience this time and time again.

these soldiers and their families are truly very strong people.

i seriously cried the whole episode. happy tears of course. its always beautiful to see reunions like these.

if you didn't see it, you must tune in on Sunday nights at 10pm. its definitely worth staying up to watch.

my thoughts and prayers are consistently on our American soldiers, our local law enforcements agencies and their families because these people are truly special.

they get up everyday and protect us.

i pray every night for the lord to watch over our American soldiers and for them to return home safely to their families.

hope you guys have a great day :)
