{five on friday}

YAY for Friday and SO much to be thankful for... it was so hard to choose my "top five" for this week, but here we go!

1. MACAROONS. Just the name sounds fantastic, but when they are personalized to say, "Will you be my Maid of Honor," they mean so much more! I am so honored to be part of Caroline and Craig's big day in May 2015.

2. LONG DAYS. I absolutely love that the sun is rising when I wake up, and sets as I go to bed at night. JK and I have taken full advantage of the extra time outside and with friends. 

3. BEING CONTENT. 

This verse can apply not only to our work but also the other areas of our lives where we compare. Comparison is a trap of pride we often willingly walk into because we take our eyes off Christ and focus on ourselves. When we look at other people's work, home, belongings or bodies it keeps us from experiencing happiness with the gifts God gave us. Refocus your life on the positive, many blessings from Christ and find peace with Him. 

4. NEW EXERCISE ROUTINE. I have such a hard time just doing one type of exercise, I get bored and end up not working out at all. SO, I found an incredible workout routine that mixes different types of exercise and time commitment. It has worked great this week, so I am going to try my {very} best to keep it up!

Sunday: 30 minute cross training

Monday: Barre class

Tuesday: Run 3 miles

Wednesday: Cross training

Thursday: Run 3 miles

Friday: Day off

Saturday: Run 3 miles

Sunday: Walk 2-3 miles

5. EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES. Complacency is my worst fear, so we have a few new, exciting and challenging opportunities coming up in the next few months. We will definitely need your prayers! I am smiling just thinking about it! More details coming soon...
