RWS Features #30

June 30, 2012 | family, fitness, Uncategorized

 

Happy weekend! We are at my parents this weekend because we have a wedding to go to tonight! My college friend Christy is getting hitched in NOLA and Bobby and I are going to go celebrate with the happy couple at their nuptials tonight. We also have a long run planned for tomorrow morning, as well as a 4th of July party at my cousin’s house! Stay tuned for lots of fun photos!

I heart the 4th of July!

I want to introduce you to Mellissa! She blogs at www.afitandspicylife.com and you can also find her on Twitter at @fitnspicy. Mellissa started blogging as a way to document her trip to Italy, and then she got hooked. Oh, she also happens to be a dog lover!

1.) How/Why did you start blogging?  I was heading on a big trip to Italy and really wanted to write about all the experiences on that trip.

2.) Sum up your blog in a couple sentences: A Midwestern girl and her love of fitness, food ,travel and wine.

3.)What do you wish to accomplish/achieve by blogging? I love being a part of the community and hope to continue to blog because I love it. Sharing my passions makes me so happy.

4.)What is your biggest healthy living accomplishment? Working out 3-4 times a week for 10+ years!

Thanks Mellissa! Please be sure to stop by her blog and say hello!

    Fantastic post. On my way to follow Melissa… thanks for the share.

    And: Spain. Well, Spain or London. Either one would be so much fun to run around in… literally.

    Thanks for sharing, Melissa!

    I loooove to travel. Disney is always my number one locale, but If I could go anywhere maybe I’d like to visit Africa!

    I’m a fairly new blogger but I totally agree about the love and support from the community of bloggers. I may never meet everyone IRL but I feel like I’ve got a lot of friends out there. Off to connect with Melissa!

    Anywhere for vacation: Italy, Australia, Russia, Sweden…I want to go everywhere!

So it’s actually today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉 Ju So it’s actually today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉 
July 13th happens to be a pretty great day if you ask me. 😜

Today I’m 41. I’m not a fan of odd numbers so I’m not sure yet how I feel about this year. 😆

I will say I am always very reflective on my birthday. I’m grateful for every year God has given me, and know how blessed I am to have even made it to 41. Each day is truly a gift, and I don’t always live or act like it. As someone who is “over the hill,” I find myself wanting to soak it all in and slow it all down more and more, but it just keeps getting faster and faster! 🫣

Here’s to another go around, and hopefully to many, many more. 🥂
