The 14 Days of Valentine's Day

 {This card was there the first day and then a handmade card that each day I wrote a new reason as to why I love him. I figured you guys don't wanna see that mushy stuff. Oh! and yes, that says Sheep - he calls me that sometimes.}

Valentine’s Day is finally here and there are some who are  loving the day and others loathing it! I, myself, have always been pretty neutral – whether single or taken I just thought it was kind of a cliché holiday. I do think it’s fun to see all sorts of pink, red and hearts and also sympathize for those of you out there feelin’ lonely. Just remember your man is out there and you may have to date a lot of d-bags in tinfoil to find your knight in shining armor. J

Anyways, I had been pondering v-day ideas for Matt mid-January. Pretty much anything he likes is hunting, fishing or engine related. Most of that would cost me an arm and a leg unless I was to get him his 200th daredevil lure (and he owns multiples of anything and everything). So I decided to get 14 different candies and find cute little sayings to go with them.

I googled and pinterested some candy saying ideas and started visiting Dollar Tree and Target/Runnings’ dollar sections on my work breaks.  So I spent $14 bucks and Matt loved it! He was surprised every morning for 14 days (well, 12 since his appendix was taken out Saturday and I gave him his last two today). I thought it turned out cute!

{I apologize for the crappy pictures – my camera bugged out and so I had to use the good ol’ Blackberry AND most were taken at like, 6 am}




I'm stuck on you!




I'm NUTS about YOU!





My life would be "un-bear-able" without you!

 

 

 



You're worth more than 100 grand!

 

 

 

 



Our life may be a CIRCUS, but I'm glad it's with YOU!

 

 

 



Some kisses for you. xoxo.

 

 

 



You o'fish'ally have my heart forever!

 

 

 



It's a joy to love you!

 

 

 



I'd be in knots without you!

 

 

 



You BLOW my mind!

 

 



Have a GREAT day! Love from your favorite Airhead.

 



You're more precious than gold.

 



Will you o'fish'ally be my valentine?

What I've Learned

I was reflecting this morning on the year and wanted to briefly share with you what I’ve learned. My perspective on what success means and how to train myself to think positively have all been transformed over the course of the year. I really don’t wish bad things upon anyone but I know that every hard time brings some sort of goodness. The good from the bad has helped freshen my view on life and helped me to breathe a bit easier.

In the past year I have learned to turn:

 sadness into bliss.

hard work into progress.

gut feelings into decisions.

time into treasure.

tears into laughter.

happiness into success.

memories into wealth.

tomorrow into today.

Don't the trees look gorgeous?

Just feelin’ a little blue today.

Talked to my best friend, Bre {made her the TX basket}, today and it was good to hear her voice but it made me miss her even more. And last night, I was looking at pictures of Thomas with Matt, it’s hard not to feel happy and sad at the same time when you see his smile. I dreamt about him again last night. It’s hard because in my dreams I hear his laugh so vibrant and real and then I have to wake up. It makes for a hard morning. Maybe it’s just the dread of February, I don’t know. 

.

In, other news, I am excited to go over to my future mom-in-law’s and start on the first DIY wedding crafts I have up my sleeve! We aren’t getting married until September of 2013 but it will be here before we know it and I want to take my time and enjoy the process. We are also going to be crafting under the influence so it shall be interesting.

.

Tomorrow I share with you the end of week 2’s result for weightloss with Shakeologyand Slim in 6{a workout program through Beachbody !} You will be astounded. : ) and if you already didn’t know I am officially a Beachbody Coach and am excited to help motivate and encourage others as I journey through this transition physically and mentally myself! I’ve literally never been more pumped in my life.  

Have you ever just felt in your heart that you were meant to do something and just knew it was the right time – it just felt right? This is how I feel about being a Coach with Beachbody! This is going to be the company that gets me physically, mentally and financially fit. I’m beyond excited to prove myself I can do anything I put my mind to. Sometimes we’re our own worst enemies with telling ourselves we can’t do something!

Lindsay never gave up on me and I finally came around! I’m ready to help you if you’re ready and willing for me to let you. You can add me on Facebook or e-mail me at brandi_babe35@hotmail.com {I made that e-mail in literally like 8^th grade so don’t poke fun. It’s my favorite e-mail and I would say a step up from bronco_girl39 which I was in the elementary/early jr. high days!}

Don’t wait for tomorrow for tomorrow may never come!! Today could be the first day of the rest of your life ya know? And I mean, If I can do it YOU can do it! It’s time to get you out of that rut!!
