I Have An Idea, and It's Going To Be Great

I have this rug stored in my basement from when my room was red, black, and white.

 

But I have been developing my room over the past year (>.<) to be grey, white, turquoise, and my latest thing is to add a coral-red and yellow. Kind of like the color pallete of this bouquet...

Anywayyy, I have been seeing a lot of posts on painting your down pattern onto plain rugs to spice them up a bit. And it hit me!! I will just paint the black parts of my rug to be a different color. I'm thinking a coral-red color.

I'll keep you updated. Maybe :)

Easter on the Farm

This weekend I had the pleasure to spend Easter with Sarah's family. I didn't really know what to expect because I never spent more than an hour or two with her family, and I was honestly nervous if they were going to like me. They had a Farm Day to help clean up and set up their land for the non-profit program they are looking to start called Turn Back Time. Turn Back Time is a program meant to help children increase the quality of life by interacting with the animals and nature. They will learn how to work on the farm and play. Below are a few pictures from Farm Day.

One of my favorite parts of the weekend was when the pigs escaped from their pen.

Sarah and I were showered and laying down reading, when her mom started yelling that the pigs got out. So we all run out and guide them back to their pen. The boy pig went in fine, but the girl pig was being so stubborn! It took us 30 minutes to play defense, like we were trying out for the Celtics or something, which I hear is pretty good timing for trying to get pigs back in.

I loved being on the farm and being with Sarah's family. They really made me feel loved and welcome!

My Muscles Have Muscles

I am so sore! It hurts to sit and to stand and to walk up stairs. Monday, I went to the gym with Sarah and Paige, which was actually a lot of fun. I've been apart of our gym for about 3 months now and haven't seen them there at all. Not that they don't go, we just go at different times. Any-who, it worked out pretty well, I found out Sarah and Paige hate the elliptical and prefer the treadmill, and I am the complete opposite. So it was nice to warm up on "each other's machines" and then switch off. After we did that for about 30 minutes, we did this full body work out that Sarah found on Pinterest. Man was it a work out. I feel like my muscles had muscles by the end of it.

My New Years resolution was to get strong and enjoy working out. I didn't want to obscure my thoughts and ideas on what I thought my body looked like, whether I was too fat or too skinny. I feel like there is something that is always too whatever. So I set my goal to be something I could achieve and feel great about, no matter what stage of working out I'm in. I have to say, I do quite enjoy it, especially yoga. And I think I am getting stronger. Soon or later I might be able to pick up a car!
