Things I Love Lately

~Nike outlet.  You can find amazing deals!  New running shoes for $40??  Yes, please!
~Contacts.  A new year, a new me!  I made the transition from glasses to contacts.  It was so, so, so hard to put them in and take them out at first, but now that i'm used to it, i love them!  I can see clearly and not have to worry about always having my glasses with it.
~My job.  I've been there for just over a year now and it's been such a blessing!  I've been given more responsibility, i'm making the most i've ever made, and there isn't a lot of office drama.
~Fresh fruit.  It's one of my favorite things about spring/summer!
~Rain.  Rain is my favorite and it's even better when it's accompanied with thunder!
~Going paleo.  I changed my eating about 3 weeks ago.  I've cut out all grains, dairy, and processed sugar.  Basically anything processed.  The first couple of days were tough, but I now feel amazing!!  I haven't had any stomach issues and i'm enjoying red meat again!  I've been experimenting with new recipes (some hits, some misses) and slowly getting the hubs on board.  Another big benefit I've noticed is my sleep!  I get such amazing sleep!!
~My contigo thermos.  I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I love it.  It keeps things hot for 4 hours and cold for 8 or so.  And it doesn't spill if it's knocked over!
~The library.  I can't remember the last time I was at a public library.  Ben and I have started going and I enjoy perusing the aisles.
~Summer bbq's.  The warm weather!  The lawn games!  Good friends and good food!
~Long weekends
