some thoughts

Thoughts on a Wednesday:

As you may have noticed, I haven’t cooked an actual meal in about 2 or 3 weeks. Reasons being – number one, we are never home until about 8:30pm or later and number two, it’s harder than you might think to share kitchen space when you don’t eat the same types of food. I miss my kitchen:)

I ran five miles this morning and felt pretty good until I got back to the car and couldn’t find my car key. 15 minutes later I finally founded it inside my shirt. Still contemplating that one…

We only have a week and a half until our 2nd half marathon. I’ve realized the last week or so that it will be a small miracle if we beat our first time. I’m currently trying to stifle my competitive side and not care.

The level at which I miss Olive is on the rise with every passing day. I thought these things were supposed to get easier with time?

Kathleen Grissom, the author of one of my favorite books – The Kitchen House, commented on my blog the other day. I’m still giddy with excitement over it.

Lately I’ve been a bit out of sorts, and I’ve narrowed it down to a few things: our one bedroom living quarters is cramped, cluttered and disorganized; because I currently live in our car more than anywhere else it is also cramped, cluttered and disorganized; I’ve been eating out most meals which means my pants are slowly getting a little bit more snug and our bank account is dwindling; my hopefully soon-to-be job is completely uncertain, and I have no control over what happens. Other than that everything is going pretty well;)

I am the absolute luckiest girl in the entire world to be married to the husband. Love that boy.

Happy Wednesday!

The husband and I are currently re-watching Lost through Netflix. We started watching it during our time in Thailand and completely fell in love with the show, especially the characters. One night we decided that we needed a new show to start watching, so we walked down to Night Bazaar, surveyed the available options and after narrowing it down between Grey’s Anatomy and Lost (neither of which we knew anything about), we decided on Lost. After which, we proceeded to watch every single season within about a month long period (could be slightly exaggerated). I think the show was technically in season five or so when we discovered it. We totally fell in love with it, and of course continued watching it once we moved back to the States. Anyway, it’s such a complex show that we recently decided to re-watch every episode, which has proven to be almost as exciting as the first round. We’re noticing and catching things that we never noticed before, and the story has become even more amazing. If you’re a Lost fan, you know what I mean.

So Friday night we had a Lost marathon and ate some pizza in bed. Yes, in bed. Our bed is essentially our new living room because my mom and step-dad don’t watch Lost. We spend a lot of time on our bed these days, which also really reminds me of Thailand because when we lived there our bedroom was the only room that was air-conditioned. Tropical country + no a/c = no further explanation needed.

I digress.

Saturday

After relaxing in bed (told you) for awhile Saturday morning, we headed to the city to get some house progress done! Most recently we got our a/c ducts and furnace installed as well as wiring throughout the whole house. With all the progress that’s happening, we’re realizing more than ever that we need to get on the ball with making decisions about the inside. We met with our design person in the early afternoon, and finally decided on our flooring – it feels so good to have one decision finally made! Our entryway, kitchen, living, dining and bathrooms will all be stained concrete, and our bedrooms with be a dark brown wood. I love the idea of juxtaposing the two materials, and I think it will add to the eclectic feel – which makes me happy!

Anyway, after house errands, we met with our accountant – finally finishing up taxes – and then decided to explore some more OKC restaurants, namely Iguana.

The husband had heard about this little mexican cafe, and it sounded divine. Upon pulling up to it, we knew it was going to be right up our alley. Situated at the edge of Midtown right beside the railroad tracks, it has a lively, modern atmosphere complete with indoor seating as well as a lovely outdoor patio. So so pretty. The service was fantastic – from the waiter who, upon bringing our setup, breezily stated “best chips and salsa in OKC” to the fast delivery of our meals. And the food was honestly the best mexican food I’ve had in Oklahoma, no exaggeration. There were a TON of veggie options, and everything (especially the salsa) was ultra fresh and delicious.

I ordered the veggie quesadillas, and the husband ordered a veggie burrito so we could split both. It was definitely way too much food by the end, and next time we’ll try to restrain ourselves by ordering just one dish to split…but we enjoyed every last bite, only leaving a few remnants behind.

Despite being so full, after we finished eating we walked next door to check out yet another cupcake shop – hey, it was too cute to pass up! SaraSara Cupcakes is a cupcakery we hadn’t heard of yet. The atmosphere was adorable, located in a two story old fashioned house – it surprises you when you walk in to find super modern decor.

The cupcake selection was pretty extensive, and the husband and I walked out with a red velvet and a mint chocolate in tow. To be eaten later of course…in bed. I’d say the atmosphere of this shop ranks just under Cuppies and Joe (for all you Oklahomans), but above Gigi’s and Pinkitzel. However, as far as taste GiGi’s cupcakes have still yet to be beat (in my opinion). Overall though, I’d choose Cuppies and Joe any day if I was looking for a great cupcake + great atmosphere. Love that place. No doubt we will be back to SaraSara though, and I will say I think you get more cupcake bang for your buck there!

Last stop of the night was a tiny little shop called Shop Good next door that we just barely noticed on our way back to the car. Intrigued, we ventured inside to discover a novel little place filled with vintagy and unique clothing, accessories and trinkets. What really makes it special though, is that every item in the store comes with an attached tag that indicates a specific cause to which part of the profit of that particular item goes. They currently have a partnership with “The Tapestry Project, an OKC-based nonprofit that’s working to address homelessness and poverty among marginalized women in a deteriorating neighborhood on the south side of the city.” [source] So not only did I come out with an awesome skirt and tee, but 5% of the cost went toward this awesome OKC charity. Epic. I love my city.

Sunday

Sunday started out bright and early with an eventful ten mile run. We had planted frozen water bottles along our route that morning, thinking they would be partially thawed out by the time we got to them. Unfortunately, it was quite a bit chillier than past weeks, and upon hopefully arriving to each bottle we realized each time that they were still frozen solid. Finally at about mile eight, we ran up on some sprinklers working hard to quench the thirst of the yard and sneakily took full advantage of them, getting huge mouthfuls of water as it ran down our chins. I was a new woman. We rocked the last two miles and came in at about an hour and fifty minutes. The weather was absolutely perfect for running – high 50’s with a slight breeze – and now I’m keeping my fingers crossed for similar weather at our race – which is in just 2 weeks! So excited!

Unfortunately, after spending about 15 minutes looking for the long sleeved shirt I’d ditched and hidden a little too well at mile 2, we were still an hour away from church and were already clearly going to be late, so we just hit up Panera looking way too dressed up. Though completely unplanned, it was a wonderful breakfast and we spent some time dreaming about plans for the future and all the great things that are happening right now. Love those kind of moments with the husband:)

More family time ensued in the afternoon when we picked up Olive and then followed my mom, step-dad, and grandparents to our new house. They hadn’t seen it yet, and we were so excited to show them; it meant so much to us that they came up to see everything. After the house, we caravanned around OKC, cruising by some cute houses in our favorite districts and then finally ending up at Subway for some quick dinner.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -

Since moving to OKC, our weekends have become so much more full. We are LOVING all that there is to do here – the neighborhoods to explore, new restaurants to try, streets to walk. We love to go, do, see – and the city lends itself to that so much more. We’ll always love our little college town, and every visit back there will be so sweet…but I think I can officially say our hearts now belong in OKC. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to make our home here, and so excited for the future. I know OK isn’t a popular city, and many people probably still think it’s red dirt and cowboys, but it truly has so much to offer, and I hope we’ll be able to offer back to it in the years to come. And besides, a little red dirt never hurt anyone anyway.

What’s your favorite thing about the city you call home?

favorite things friday

I’m so excited it’s the weekend!

I haven’t been super productive today…unless you count spending hours browsing for decor inspiration as a major accomplishment. Although I have done several loads of laundry and gotten in a really great workout, so I haven’t been all bad.

Anyway, for a little Friday fun I thought I’d share just a few things that I’ve been loving lately!

First up, the book I just finished this week - The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom. Once it got going, I simply could not put it down. It was “one of those.” I highly recommend it!

Simple and healthy homemade meals. I’ve always loved to eat out, but lately I’m just really craving food from home, especially some of my old staples. Today was lovely getting to be home rather than taking all my food on the go.

whole wheat bread with roasted garlic hummus, broccoli slaw and spinach

kashi, green yogurt, frozen blueberries

Apartment Therapy. I’ve been getting tons of inspiration browsing this website for house decor ideas.
The husband and I are contemplating what flooring combination to do – stained concrete, wood, tile – so many options! I’m loving so many elements of this space right now.

These shoes I just bought to wear on Easter. Yes, I’m 27 years old, and I’m still buying clothing items specifically for Easter. Why not? It’s a great reason to get some new staples for the beautiful spring weather! Plus I just couldn’t resist the vintage modern vibe…and they’re comfy too:)

Dinners shared in the car with the husband while running house errands. Actually, just being in the car with the husband while running house errands. Who am I kidding?

And last, Dove dark chocolate. Just one square (okay, two) does the trick:)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

What is one thing you’re really loving right now?

randomness is good

Oh, boy….I’ve been dealing with taxes all morning – such a headache. How can it possibly be April 14th already?? Nothing like waiting until the last minute! I think we finally got it all sorted out. The husband and I like to make our taxes as complicated as possible by switching jobs, buying and selling houses, and owning our own business. Fun:)

Anyway, this morning I started off with a bowl of cereal – Shredded Wheat n Bran +Kashi, and by about 2 hours later I was starving. I have a very serious love for cereal, but it rarely keeps me full for long. Yesterday I was home in the morning for the first time in a while, and after taking a nice 4 mile run, I knew I needed something substantial for breakfast. I found some Van’s flax waffles in the fridge that we had brought over from our previous house, and I got so excited! Hadn’t had one of these in a long time, but they used to be one of my go-to breakfasts/snacks. I dressed it all up with some almond butter, sliced banana, chia seeds, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. mmmm.

As my stomach rumbled one last time, I took a mouthwatering bite….

And it was hard as a rock. Seriously, I couldn’t even bite into it. Freezer burn I’m thinking? Guess it didn’t survive the move very well. I’m sure you can imagine my disappointment. Anyway, I just transferred the toppings + a new layer of almond butter over to an Ezekiel english muffin. Not quite the same, but it was okay. Lesson learned – check the frozen item before putting on your most expensive toppings…especially if said frozen item has been through a lot in its short life.

My morning began looking a up, however, when I decided to run through Panera to get an iced tea. I grabbed it to-go, got all settled in my car, and took off. About five minutes later, I glanced up for some unknown reason, and through my sunroof I could actually see my tea sitting on top of the car! Now tell me my little Mini isn’t a smooth ride, ha! I was just kind of amazed that it survived up there…so I took a picture of course. And by the way, our Mini is still for sale, so if anybody in the OKC area is looking for a fun little car with great gas mileage, look me up!

Anyway, newest update on our house is that we have shingles and electrical wiring – yay! Don’t worry, I won’t keep bombarding you with house talk every day. I think we’ll be waiting for inspections for awhile now, so we might not see much happen. We did have another appointment at the design center this morning, and we spent about 20 minutes picking out the door style that will go inside our house. It was ridiculous. It’s so fun picking everything out, but sometimes I feel like I would never even notice what type of doors we have on the inside, but because I have the opportunity to make the choice, I’m going to analyze it to the bitter end. And I’m still analyzing it. It happens with everything. Until suddenly it will hit me that no one (including me) really cares what the grooves look like on the doors inside our house – there are so many more important things I could spend my time thinking about. All about perspective friends:)

And now I’m off to grab some lunch and run some errands. This is probably the lamest post I’ve ever written, but I just wanted to drop in and say hi and also thank you for the sweet and encouraging comments on yesterday’s post. All the thoughtful words meant so much.

Hope you all have a great day! It’s almost Friday:)

it’s not about me

Awhile back, after being inspired by a fellow blogger, I signed up on a website to receive daily affirmation in the form of email messages. I usually would rather give my right arm than hand over my email address to anyone that wants to send me daily messages, but the encouragement I got from the one posted by my friend was just what I needed to hear that day and I thought it might be a good thing. Since then there have been several days on which the message really hit home for me, and today is another one of those.

So often we find that our individual experiences in life may not have been as beneficial to us as they were for others. Life works in such a way.

We all have our own journey to travel…an individual journey that is meant for us, but we also get to live through things that are not so much about us at all. Sometimes our trials or our blessings or our lessons are meant for the people who we surround, or who surround us. It’s important to remember that people are watching the way you handle things in your life, they are learning so much from you and your strength and your grace and your wisdom. It’s important to remember how much we can help each other along their way because of what we have learned or what we remember.

It helps make sense of things too…when we can recognize our ability to be a miracle in the life of others…in a way that we never could have had we not traveled the path that we each have traveled.

The truth is that each and every one of us has our own crosses to bear. I know that my life is so very blessed – I have my health, my marriage, a wonderful family, a home, an education, and so many other things that a lot of the world doesn’t have. I’m so thankful for it all, and I don’t take it lightly.

But I also have my own cross to bear. And somehow, in the thick of things, knowing how blessed my life is doesn’t make that cross any less heavy…it doesn’t make it hurt any less. I struggle daily with trusting that God has a purpose for this issue in my life and that it is ultimately for good, even though deep down in my heart I do believe it to be true. And I long for the day when that purpose is revealed to me.

I truly want to handle everything that comes in my life with grace, wisdom and strength, but I honestly have never thought about doing so for someone other than myself. As humans we have so much influence over each other – we impact other people in ways we never imagined we would, and I don’t want to let selfishness guide my actions and reactions to events in my life. Even if the only person I influence is my sweet husband, that is worth the world to me. A million times over, it’s worth digging deep, finding a way to respond with peace and faith in the midst of uncertainty.

And for me, it does help make sense of this seemingly purposeless thing that I’m going through – to think the purpose could be greater than myself and the way I handle it could make a difference for someone else. I’m seeing it all from a different angle, and in the moments of deepest questioning and hurt, I feel a bit more grounded by realizing that it’s not all about me.

I really needed to get these thoughts out. A times I worry about sharing some things here, but this blog is an outlet for me. It helps me process, and when I finish writing it’s like parts of me that once felt so heavy seem a bit lighter, and I see more clearly. One of the many reasons I’m so happy to have this space.

another busy weekend

Good morning!

The weekend flew by so fast, as always, and it was as full as ever in the last two months. Friday evening the husband and I stopped by our house after work to see how it was coming along. It really is incredible how much has been done this week. Last Sunday our house looked like this:

And this Sunday it looked like this:

After we signed the papers and everything it literally felt like absolutely nothing happened for weeks, and just when we were starting to become a little bit concerned they really got going on it. Here’s the progression of the last month in pictures:

We’ve now got about 2 months and 11 days until our anticipated close date…we’re so ready! And another couple pics just for fun:)

haha – jumping pictures are not my strong suit

looking into our living/dining room from the entryway

After checking out the house Friday evening, we re-visited one of our favorite new restaurants. The last time we went to Cafe 7 was last Sunday with some friends, and we knew there was so much more that we wanted to try. This time we both got something different, and it did not disappoint.

I went with the margarita pizza, which had marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, spinach and tomatoes. Delicious!

I ate about half and took the rest home because the husband and I had grand plans to split a cookie. Seeing as how Cafe 7 is only about a mile from our new house, I’m sure we’ll be back many more times.

Post dinner we decided to head down to an area of OKC called the Plaza District. We went there during the day once before, but on the first Friday night of every month all the shops are open, there’s live music, street vendors, food, and all kinds of other fun stuff like the Humane Society pups up for adoption.

As you all know, now would not be the best time for the husband and I to adopt a new dog, but I wanted to take this guy home so badly! I think I’m having puppy withdrawals:(

Anyway, Saturday we had an appointment to pick out the lighting for our house and then we met up with the husband’s parents for lunch and to go see the house. Lunch was a cute little restaurant that sits right on the lake, called Louie’s. We actually had this place in our old town, but we didn’t go there very often…only once I think. It was excellent though – great atmosphere, great food – actually the best fruit I think I’ve ever had at a restaurant.

black bean burger with avocado = amazing

iPhone pics. eh.

On Sunday the husband and I got up early to do our long run. Honestly, I was not looking forward to it. On Friday, I had experienced one of the absolute worst runs of my life. Every step was brutal – my lower back hurt, my shins hurt, my quads…everything. In retrospect I really should have just thrown in the towel probably, but I really needed to get in the mileage, so I did my best to push through. I had kind of an emotional breakdown after it…I think the pain and frustration brought out all these pent up emotions – stress, tiredness, feeling like everything is all out of whack right now – and I just needed to let it all out. I was really feeling down. Thankfully the afternoon improved drastically because my interview went really well, and the husband booked me an afternoon massage. He really is the most thoughtful husband in the world.

But back to the long run. We were slated to go 9 miles, and the first 4.5 went pretty well; I felt a lot better than I anticipated I would. We ended up doing sort of an out and back route, and it was only when we turned to head back that we realized how windy it was. With the wind at our backs we barely felt it, but all of a sudden it felt like we were running into a wall. Flashbacks to our marathon 2 years ago kept popping into my head as we fought our way back. Hills, wind, the whole bit was the essence of the last 4.5 miles…and there were definitely some walking breaks. However, we both somehow got a second wind with about a half mile left and finished at about an 8:30 pace. No matter what the majority of a run is like, I always feel as if I’ve redeemed myself when we finish strong and happy.

The rest of Sunday included breakfast at Subway, lots of IcyHot, a long nap, and a visit to our baby. The best way to end a weekend I think. Now for another busy crazy week!

How was your weekend?

random goings on

Edit: I actually wrote this post on Thursday, but my camera battery went dead, and I wasn’t able to pull the pictures off, and I haven’t been home since then to get them. I know it’s kind of weird to be posting a recap of the weekend a week late, but I really want to document this time in our life, so weird or not – here it is!

I really can’t believe it’s already Thursday again, and I’m just writing my first blog post this week. I have to admit, I’m really struggling with this whole “getting into a routine” thing. We have been SO busy lately, and honestly we just haven’t been at home much at all. Because my mom and step-dad live so far away from the city, by the time the husband and I do everything we need to do after work, we don’t get home until super late. This means minimal blog time and little to no cooking.

We have been spending so much money on eating out lately, and while I try to keep it as clean as I can it’s still not the same as knowing exactly what’s in my food. The jeans are starting to feel a little snug despite training for our half marathon, and I’m going to have to clean it up a little more asap. I’m not going to lie…it has been hard. You’d think that being five weeks into our new life, I would have found a balance by now, but I think it’s getting worse not better. I’m just so ready to live in the town we work in, have more time at home and get back on a regular blogging schedule – it cannot happen soon enough!

This past weekend, the husband and I went to the OKC Home Show to try and get some ideas for our house; while we didn’t really get a lot of decor ideas, we did buy a steam mop that I’m really excited about. haha. I’m such an adult now.

On Sunday we went and tried another new church and then met up with some friends for lunch. I went to college with Elyse, Ryan and JJ, and it was so so fun to hang out again. They are one of the many reasons why we are so excited to have moved to the city – looking so forward to reconnecting and having fun date nights!

JJ and her cute baby boy, Grayson. Seth didn’t quite make it into the picture.

Ryan and Elyse

After lunch we went over to my grandparent’s house to celebrate my grandpa’s birthday. Even though we live so close now, I still feel like we’ve barely spent any time with my whole family, and it was so nice to just spend time with everyone. And we got to see our baby of course.

I believe my grandpa is one of the best men who has ever existed. He has quite the sense of humor, and he never fails to make me laugh…always telling jokes and being clever:) He has been such a hard worker his entire life; even to this day he loves nothing more than being outside, working hard. In the summer he always has a bandana around his forehead, coveralls on, with sweat all over him as he fixes and/or makes everything under the sun. But he also reads books like it’s his job:) I love my grandpa so much, and I’m so thankful to have him in my life. He’s one of the most important people in the world to me. And now he’s helping take care of spoil my baby, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Pictures of my Grandpa are still stuck on my camera (don’t ask), so I’ll be posting them soon! I just had to get this post up..it was getting ridiculous.

——————————

In other news, our house is coming along nicely! Things have sped up the last few days; one day we went and it was a concrete slab (which we were hugely excited about), and the next day it looked like an actual house!

We’ve got windows and walls, and I really wanted to just set up camp for the night but decided that it might be best to wait until our roof is not just rafters.

Also, today we went to the design center and were able to pick out most of the details. We analyzed back-splashes, tile, cabinets, counter-tops, wood floors, paint, brick and tons more. It was pretty overwhelming, but also so much fun! Because the husband and I are a little bit picky, we didn’t have nearly enough time to finish, so we’ll be going back next week to wrap it up. Hopefully I’ll be able to share some pictures of what we’ve picked out!

Tomorrow I have a second interview with the ESL institute that I would prefer to teach at, and I’m hoping I’ll find out more about it in general and more about if/when I’ll be able to start! Right now everything is so crazy that I don’t know how I’m going to fit in a job, but it’ll work somehow;) I just hope it all goes well and that they want to hire me sooner rather than later.

So, that’s a really random recap of everything that’s going on right now. It’s so funny how when my life is crazy I really want it to slow down and I envy people who have a semi normal schedule. But as soon as my schedule turns normal, I long for excitement an spontaneity. I guess it’s really all about embracing whatever moment you’re in, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to do. Trying being the key word here.

I’m thankful to those of you who have been still stopping by this little blog of mine. I promise the disorganization and lack of focused posts will all pull together soon and things will be back to normal. Thank you for sticking with me through it all though. Hope you’ve had a great week!

Do you thrive on routine and normalcy in your schedule or do you love when things are crazy?

great books and other stuff

Despite the fact that it’s Friday and the weather has made vast improvements, I am dragging today! The culprit?

This book.

Yesterday I was killing a little bit of time before picking the husband up from work, so I ran across the street to Border’s because they’re having a huge closing sale. After wondering around for awhile, my eyes landed on the cover of Euna Lee’s memoire. I am a big fan of memoirs; I just recently finished two different ones, Thin is the New Happy by Valerie Frankel and The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls – two books that could not be more different, but were equally engaging and wonderful. I highly recommend both, but to give you fair warning, The Glass Castle is very harsh and somewhat disturbing at times…like when you see something so devastating that you want to look away, but you just can’t. But in the end it shoots straight to your heart as it speaks of redemption and the ability to rise above any situation, and I walked away feeling inspired and more aware of the world.

But back to the book of last night. I read a few pages right after I bought it and knew right away that it would be hard to put down. After running a couple of errands and making the trek back home, I picked it back up; three hours and 275 pages later I stumbled into bed. Lee’s account of her time in captivity in North Korea took me on a journey that ended in a renewed thankfulness for the most important things in life and a new perspective of how God leads us through the toughest of times. Thought provoking and emotional, at times I felt I was right there with her as she agonized over missing her baby and having no certainty over her future – and upon her arrival back home where she embraced gratefulness, safety and those she loved most. I loved it.

This morning I had plans to get some work done at Starbucks, but I just had to finish the last 15 pages or so. This is my problem with books – if they’re riveting enough to keep me flipping the page, then I simply cannot walk away from them. Gets me every time. Having rushed out of the house in a blur of bags, laptops and keys this morning, I didn’t have time to eat breakfast, but Starbucks perfect oatmeal to the rescue once again! The best option for breakfasts on the run.

topped with dried fruit and nuts

I also wanted to toss in one my favorite easy lunches that I had yesterday. I’ve made a version of this before with just black beans, but the spices in this one had me over the moon.

Baked sweet potato with leftover Amy’s Chili poured over top. And a side of kale chips.

This could even be a portable snack to take to the office (which I’ll be needing soon!) if you have a microwave. Maybe subbing out the kale chips for a bag of steamable broccoli? I just love little meals that are warm and homemade tasting, but take minutes to prepare.

I’m so happy it’s Friday (duh), and I’m so excited because the husband and I are going to the OKC home show this weekend. We’ve got some serious house decisions to make in the next week, so hopefully we’ll come away with some direction and inspiration.

Have a lovely weekend!

What is your favorite book you’ve ever read?
If I had to choose one, I’d probably say Barbara Kingsolver’s Poisonwood Bible – read it while we lived in Thailand, and could read it a thousand more times. Side note – the other day I was re-listening to My Sister’s Keeper in the car, and I had this sudden realization that books can take on a whole new meaning and impact with each time you read them. There are different things going on in my life right now that cause me to read it in a completely different way than last time. Love that about books.
