A New Season, A New Subject: What Really Matters

You may have not noticed, but I changed the title of my blog a little, as well as the description. Why? Because it's a new season which allows for a new focus of my mission for this blog: Learning to Love You.

This summer I focused on health, fitness, and ways to feel confident in your own skin. As the weather begins to get cooler, and our time gets focused on more important things (such as family, work, school, etc.) we should start focusing on different aspects of our beauty as well. This fall I would love to research and share topics based on beauty you don't often find while looking in the mirror; Your personality, successes, positive journey through life, career and future goals, and so much more. I hope as you do recognize all you have going for you, you might just feel more beautiful and confident on the outside too.

If you didn't reach your fitness and physical body goals this summer, let's make a new set of goals for something I think is even more important. You don't have to be skinny to be beautiful. And let's be honest, we're all going to get old one day and our bodies will... "not be what they used to be". Why not focus on the part of us that can stay the same (or at least can consistently get better)!!!!

First topic on the new subject and a very important lesson to begin with: You are perfect at being YOU. You will not be comparing yourself to anyone in the next few weeks. Base your progress off of yourself, not others! Set goals and notice when you've reached them. Write down the things you accomplished! I have some ideas of topics to help, but I would love to know other areas you wish to improve on. You can even send it anonymously here ---> Topic Suggestions . A few ideas I had were strengthening relationships, charity, and wisdom, but please provide the topics you would like read more of too! Please feel free to comment with your goals and accomplishments so others can get ideas!!  We can do this together!!!

Finishing off Summer and last season's topic-
The end of the summer was so great and so crazy, all at the same time. My wonderful siblings came home for a week, so we got to play a lot! We went to the beach, mini golf, tried some shuffleboard, standup paddle boarding, outdoor movies, and more! When it was time to go back to Utah for school, we flew into DFW and ended up sitting on the plane for three additional hours. We had two flights get cancelled, and lost our luggage when we finally did land 16 hours after we took off from VA. When we got to Logan, none of our furniture fit down the stairs/into the door of our new apartment. We had already packed our belongings into our vehicle, so we had to find a new apartment the same day. Luckily, we did! Everything works out as it supposed to. I'm grateful for a loving and patient husband that helped the craziness seem bearable. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

A fun way to bring the family together
while also getting off our butts.
Even though we didn't surf, it's a great new
sport to give a try!

Trying a new game/sport is a great way to
stay active!!

Cheering on your favorite team can help
lose more calories than you think :)



Find a local town that has fun
activities. We walked over a
mile here and it was a blast!

Paradise can be filled with great ways
to try new foods, activities, and exercises.


Take a nice break after a beach run to
enjoy the view!!
Our first time trying this new sports and we
LOVED it!!! So much fun :)
