Summer Randomness

Hello friends, 

Today I am going to write about a few random things that I have done in the past week :)

 

But I am going to start by writing some of my favorite lyrics by Gary Allan because everyone goes through some rocky roads in their life and I would like to share some of the ways that I pick myself back up when I fall. "Life ain't always beautiful

You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day
But the struggles makes you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way of takin' it sweet time
No,life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride"

I love that song. So true. I like to meditate on Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength".

Often times I have to remind myself to be strong and to remember that I am not in control of my life, GOD is.

Now for some randomness:

I got to meet Tim for dinner last week when he wasnt working overnights. Here is a picture of him in his Cargill uniform :) 

Cargill's Top employee :)

Last weekend I got to see some of my close friends from West St. Paul :) Bre, Laura Patty and Emily, but I didnt snap any pictures :(

I did snap some pretty pictures of Tim's cabin on Grace Lake however:

I put some new wall decorations up in the house:

Just ignore the ugly wallpaper, I want to take it down but it is a rental house so I think I'll just leave it for now 

I am going to paint these :)

I have been looking at a new blog lately  http://www.pbfingers.com/ 

You should all check it out, Julie is the girl behind the blog and she is awesome. I have been following a lot of her fitness tips and recipes. I made some stuffed french toast with sandwich thins. The creme part is cottage cheese and raspberries with some syrup on top. yumm

Also, I would like to confess that I too have a peanut butter addiction. I think Tim realized this last summer in Colorado when the peanut butter seemed to be disappearing quite frequently haha I think we went through about 3 or 4 jars in 3 months. oops

Well I hope everyone has a great night. I should totally be sleeping right now. off to bed I go. goodnight!

Xoxo,

Amber
