  • So I may have problem. I've recently discovered I'm totally obsessed with glasses 😆🤓 they're basically another accessory for any outfit! 💁‍♀️ I just got these in from @discountglasses and I'm LOVING them, especially with my new blonder hair 😍😍 👓: #DGWestend #HaydenFalls #sponsored #DGfashionista
  • The shot I got in 2017 ➡️ the same shot in 2016 🌁 . Seeing everyone's pictures of the #okcmemorial yesterday made my heart smile 🙂 and made me miss my old city. That race has and always will be special to me for various reasons. So I wanted to share some pics I've taken during the race and never shared (mostly from the last one w/@chrismadrigal8). And then sharing some of my favorite people who have done the race with me ❤❤❤ #r2r #runtoremember #okcmemorial5k #neverforgotten #okcstrong #togetherwerise
  • Happy weekend, friends! It's my birthday celebration weekend 🎉🎉🎉 kicked off the weekend with my Friday off, sleeping in, big snow flakes, a manicure 💅 (1st one in over a year 🙈), and wine tasting at one of my faves @stollerwine with a lovely woman who owns a local online boutique here to talk business (fun stuff coming soon!!) and just about life. She's a fellow Midwesterner so we bonded over so many similarities and struggles we've had since moving to Oregon and making new friends. It was so much fun and I'm excited to have a new girlfriend ☺ . Then I finished the day with some Costco shopping (and maybe pizza and a churro) and podcast listening with Chris and ending the evening with a good ol' documentary on the couch ❤ can't wait for brunch with my girls tomorrow 👭🥂🍾 . Also. Got these black #madewelljeans and I'm in love 🖤🖤🖤 if you are getting some, def size down at least one size, maybe even ✌ (added bonus 😉) they have a ton of stretch in them, and they're super comfy! And I love the faded black look 😍 def new closet staple! #everydaymadewell #targetstyle @targetstyle
  • This is 33. Currently sitting on the couch, in my sweats (I couldn't put them on fast enough when I walked through the door), sipping on a coconut la croix (saving my dranks for later this week because #adulting), about to go to bed at 8:14pm on my birthday 🎉 Kinda comes with the territory of a Monday birthday, but super excited to celebrate this weekend with my babe and best gals here in Oregon doing all the Portland things! Brunch, brews, winery, @pipsoriginal #birthdaydonuts, finding new food places, and wandering + exploring with my babe and pup 👨🐶💕 . I finally learned what a #goldenbirthday was, and although my true golden birthday would've been when I was 4 (was it even a thing then??), I'm declaring year 33 my golden birthday. March is the 3rd month, 3 is my favorite number (and 33 was Kenny's 💙), and I just have a good feeling about this one. . Laughing, always laughing. Because life is funny. . We think we have it all figured out, but we really don't. . There is no "balance." Grief changes, but never ends. . The things you thought were "forever" or for life sometimes aren't. And the things you never would have expected come at just the right time. . All you can do is laugh, take risks, be kind, and do your best 😊❤ . Here's to #33, my "golden birthday," and 33+ years to come 🥂🍾 #Ds33rdyear
  • Where do you live? This was the question from @10thingstotellyou with @laura.tremaine a couple weeks back, and I know I'm late, but I still want to share #10thingstotellyou I live in Oregon, and I'm a transplant. I'm originally from Oklahoma (born and raised) #OkiegoneOR and I made the move out west a little over 2 years ago. I'm not going to lie, when I first moved out here, things weren't exactly how I thought they would be. In more ways than one. It literally started raining as my mom and I pulled into Lincoln City that last day of September, and it didn't stop until June. I often questioned if I did the right thing. Moving to a completely different state, different time zone, different weather. Can I do this? Was this a smart move? The short answer: yes. Here is what I love about where I live: - Wineries - Food - My loves - Portland - Scenery - Coast - Mountains - My new friends - My job - Did I mention the wine and food? There are & have been some drawbacks to the move - less sun, no lake, no family and close circle of friends and community. But I've learned to adapt + evolve. I enjoy all the amazing things Oregon has to offer. I've made new friends and I've created a little home here in Newberg with @chrismadrigal8 and Tank that I feel safe in and have grown to love. Living at the coast wasn't for me - and I had to learn that for myself. It's beautiful and a wonderful place to visit, but it wasn't for me. It will always be the place where I spent my 1st year here and learned and grew so much. But this little town in the heart of wine country has grown on me and holds a special place in my heart ❤ When or if we ever move, this will be the place where I finally felt like I'm where I'm supposed to be with the people I'm supposed to be with. I'm finally making my way home 🏡
  • Take a seat, my friend . And let's have a little late night chat... . Last week, I shared (or attempted to share 🙄 hashtag insta woes) in my stories some thoughts on body image and specifically, some body image things I've been dealing with and have dealt with in the past. *if you missed them, you can rewatch the highlight ⬆️😘* . I also shared how I feel like I have so much to share with you, but I also don't know where or how to start. So in turn, more times than not, I just keep quiet. . Things like body image, social media, mental health, financial health, health, marriage, blended families, step parenting, regrets, relationships, adult friendships, broken friendships, depression, self-reflection, self-discovey, love after loss, faith, religion, control, surrender, grief... . The list goes on and on. . I think sometimes I get stuck because I don't know how to say it. Sometimes I'm scared what I'll say will offend or come off wrong. And other times, I think I wish I could just sit across from each of you, here on this couch, and just chat. Openly, whole-heartedly, tears, laughter, sharing, and connecting. . But that's physically impossible. So I will do my best to show up here, on the interwebs, in some form, until one day we can meet in person and chat. All the things. . If I'm being honest, writing has been a struggle lately. I have a draft for a fellow writer who I admire and look up to that I was supposed to have done almost 3 months ago! 3! And it's like pulling teeth trying to get me to finish that thing. Idk what the block is, but I'm pushing through because I know someone needs these words. Just like I've needed words before ❤ . I've recently discovered @noraborealis and holy sh*t, reading her stuff is like reading pages out of my own heart. If you've been struggling with grief, directly or indirectly, I highly recommend her writing. She says all the things everyone is afraid to say, but really feels. Trust me, it's good. . So all this rambling to say I want to show up and will do my best to do so, even if I maybe don't feel 100%. Life is too short NOT to show up. . Because we can't save time in a bank account. Now is all we have 💞 #nowisnow
  • I just measured myself from my 1st round of #fwtfl 💪 and I'm loving my results! #ad . Hitting my daily macros is a key part of the program, and these @epicbar meat bars help me do that! I love that they are gluten free, grain free, soy free, and dairy free. . They're great for an on-the-go snack - I know I'm getting a quality product and not sacrificing on hitting my goals 👊 . I'm so ready to see what round ✌ has in store for me! . @krogerco @fredmeyerstores #KrogerEPIC #EPICbars
  • When your forever valentine isn't your valentine forever. . Sharing some words from an old blog post, in case someone needed to read them today❤❤❤ . "Seeing everyone post about their xth year with their valentine pulled on a heart string today that has silently been there with other life milestones (anniversaries, birthdays, baby announcements, new houses, etc.), but I haven’t spoken up about it yet in depth. Something about today has tapped into that space and I felt the need to share as someone else may be feeling something very similar. . I often catch myself feeling like I drew the worst chutes card after drawing so many good, some small, ladder cards, and getting chuted right back to the beginning. Back to 'START.' Back to square 1. . Whether it’s from a death, divorce, miscarriage, breakup, layoff, whatever. It can be extremely frustrating some days. Most days I’m able to cope with it pretty well. But on those much harder days, I feel myself wanting to be where everyone else is – married, house, babies – because I was there. I was already there! . But something happened. . I drew that chutes card, and back to the start I went. . With social media these days, it’s so easy to get consumed and overwhelmed when we can see “everything” (read: the highlights) that everyone else has, is accomplishing, is doing with their lives. Especially when you’re starting over at square 1, trying to begin a new relationship, learn a new job, meet new people, start new friendships, keep old friendships. It’s A LOT. And sometimes it’s just freaking hard. So hard. But you have to keep moving, keep drawing cards because among those small chutes and ladder cards, you’re bound to draw some awesome ladders." . I've drawn some awesome ladder cards in the last year or so. New beginnings, new job, new friends, new home with my boys, growth in my relationship with Chris, growth within myself. Along with those came some chutes, times where it was challenging and sometimes down right ugly. But I'm so grateful for them. All of them. . Here's to you finding your ladders, even if you've recently drawn a chutes. Keep climbing, my friend 💕 rest & reflect when needed 🙏 but keep climbing ✨
