A Look Back

March 15, 2011 | Uncategorized

I thought it would be fun today to do a look back at where I was a week ago, month ago, and year ago today! To me this is one of the fun things about blogging. I can always look back and remember fun memories!

Well…a week ago today I had just moved into my house and didn’t have internet yet, so I blogged a message from my phone..Please Don’t Leave Me!

A month ago today was February 15, the day after Valentine’s Day. I blogged about When Things Don’t Go As Planned. I was very frustrated as I wrote this post, dealing with handling adversity and when plans change/don’t go my way. This has been a very trying year for us and I haven’t always had the best attitude, even though I know I am the one in control of my attitude! Just call me stubborn! I am happy to report SOME things have gotten better, but we are still dealing with some “changed plans” that are hard to swallow. As is life I guess! I am really working at trying to change the way I react to negative situations to have more JOY!

A year ago today I was in DISNEYWORLD with my mom! Sad times. Why did I remind myself of that? I didn’t blog that week, but I can tell you we had fun in Disney, but it was SO CROWDED, COLD and WINDY! I vowed to NEVER go in March/Spring break again! HERE is the post I wrote when I got back. Apparently it was a quite chilly early spring!

Speaking of Disney, the countdown is on for our cruise! 71 days and counting! Seriously, I’m counting. I have a countdown ticker on my phone!

Isn’t it funny how things change in as quick as a week, or as long as a year? I am a sentimental fool so I love looking back! My favorite way to look back is to see when I am improving in something, so be on the lookout for before pictures for my 6 weeks to 6 pack abs pictures!

    It is crazy how fast time changes things….and when I think back to last year, I was extremely busy with an infant and hadn’t gotten serious about getting back into shape yet!

    So jealous of your cruise!! My boyfriend and I were invited to go on one this summer but it’s not going to work out.

    Did you say somewhere that you used to work for Disney?? What did you do there?? My boyfriends sister is “friends with Mickey.”

Backstory: It was our last morning and Myself, my Backstory:
It was our last morning and Myself, my mom and dad were sitting outside by the fire drinking coffee enjoying the view. My mom was walking to the door and my dad and I heard a scraping noise on the deck. I was sitting and the column was blocking my view. Dad was standing. He turns away from me, and says super casually:

“Oh look, it’s a bear.” 🐻 

I jumped up sure enough there is a baby bear standing at the top of the steps, 12 feet from us. We ran in and locked the door and called for Bobby and EK to come look. We left our coffee outside and mom and dad’s phones were out there. Thankfully I had mine for video!

We had grilled steaks the night before so they were coming to find the food. (After the first morning…we had grilled the first night too…we saw bear paw prints so we knew there were some in the area.) 

Emma Kate was recording on her iPad, and got the best clip of all, the very best one! He actually seated at her two different times but we only got one on video. 

It was quite the adrenaline rush but also SO COOL and a great way to end the trip!!! 

*Please do not ever approach or feed a bear. While black bears typically aren’t aggressive, if humans feed them they will continue to get close. If staying in the Smoky Mountains stay aware and never leave food outside or in your car! And lock your car and cabin doors.*
