I know I'm about an hour and 34 minutes late for an actual New Years Eve post... I mean, the clocks already struck 12, its already 2013, and Mark and I just got home from spending the evening at my parents with my family to ring in the New Year. But before I...
Just wanted to share the text we will be going over this morning in church... "Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers,...
The Christmas season is winding down. Today we will take down all of our Christmas decorations... put away our first tree with the "Our First Christmas"and "New Home" ornaments, take down our outside lights, and pack up our first stockings and hand me down nativity sets. All of these things and more are reminders...
One of Mark's favorite things I would make for him before we got married was Amish Friendship Bread. I haven't made it in over a year though because having to deal with the starters that you're supposed to give out to people can be a little daunting, not to mention a good way...
I am so excited to introduce you to the first addition to the Poindexter family! Our Christmas puppy, little miss.... Piper! ...I am In Love... ...
Per usual I had the afternoon off today, but Erin and I decided to get some last minute Christmas projects done instead of doing our normal "Well Balanced Wednesdays"... We probably won't get a chance to resume those until after the New Year. On my Christmas list today? Wrap the presents. Choice of...
I finally finished my Home made stockings! It only took me 2 weeks thanks to my superb ability to procrastinate... But I like the way they turned out and Mark loved them! The little one in the middle is for our sweet puppy that we get to bring home later this week! I...
I turned 24 yesterday... I don't know about you, but that number is starting to sound pretty old to me. I'm no longer in my early twenties... I've crossed the bridge into mid twenties! One year away from a quarter of a century!! *Insert mild freak out now* Kidding. I'm okay with mid...
Mark and I put up our Christmas tree and lights a little bit ago I just keep forgetting to post pictures! We took a special trip to garden ridge to buy some Christmas cheer for our house including the cute snowman tree skirt that you can see in the picture. I'm a huge...
Had a very productive Well-balanced Wednesday today! I ran 3 miles in under 26 minutes! Averaging 8'45" a mile - woop woop! Now that my marathon is over I'm loving these short runs. Afterwards I headed over to Erin's where we did a 20 minute legs workout (yay me, doubling up on my...
As I mentioned in my last post Mark and I spent the week (including Thanksgiving) in the big ol state of Texas! Here are some pictures of some of my favorite memories from our trip... My cousin Tim and my Aunt Beth practicing their mother/son dance on the deck of the house we...
Mark and I are breaking all Thanksgiving Tradition this year by spending our first major holiday as husband and wife at the Redskins vs. Cowboys football game in Dallas, Texas. We are grateful we had the opportunity to stay in Texas after my cousin Tim's wedding in order to see this game. I'm...
Today Erin and I discussed our character of the week, Miriam, in our Wednesday bible study. Miriam would prove to be one of the great women among the people of God, but she had to learn to trust and follow God according to His ways and not hers. Miriam is well remembered for...
26.2 My Marathon Journey Two days ago I accomplished something that I would've called you crazy for even suggesting 5 years ago. I finished a full blown 26.2 mile marathon. This whole process started in college in 2009 when I was surrounded by insanely fit people who loved to run. I had always...
This is my goal. I have been training for the last 6 months and tomorrow its time to put it all out there. 7:20 am tomorrow morning I will be standing anxiously in a crowd, hundreds of people surrounding me, and most likely squeezing the hand of the two beautiful women who have...
I totally bailed on my sister last Wednesday when we were supposed to do our bible study and work out because I was desperate to get one last long run in before my race this weekend. But we got back on track today! We continued our study on the Women of the Bible...
Voted. Today was my second presidential election and my sister Mallory's first presidential election. My parents have always made us very aware of our government and the effects it has on us and future generations. We have learned to appreciate the weight of having the privilege to vote. I am thankful that no...
