SMILES!

Bad Mood??? I know what you need!

Always does the trick!

This is how Natey Handles Roller Coasters! PURE TERROR!

BLAH BLAH PLAYING PRETEND!

I do not know what happened with this week, but this week and I are not friends! It wasn't one of those horrific oh em gee I don't know what to do with myself week but it sure wasn't great. 

I think it had to do with having Monday off.... M.L.K. Jr. AWESOME guy, but I literally spent his holiday  in my PJ's with not one ounce of motivation. That is a terrible way to start a week off. 

So I decided to take this week back and pretend it did not happen!  

 Including this train wreck.  

yep that shizz did not HAPPEN!

Next week I promise to be back on track and in good spirits... 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND .... I found some weekend motivation:

On a Serious Note

Me thinks its time for that 5 year plan I have been avoiding!

Ill be honest where I am now is not where I thought I would be at 28.... but hell where I am now is pretty DANG AWESOME!

Present day me!

See that happy face right there!!!! This girl is: 

NOT married, Degree-less, Gainfully employed at Nuclear Power Plant (NOT MY DREAM JOB but it pays the bills and funds my higher education) and HAPPY!

Now one might think "WHAT this bia is CRAY" !!!!!! But I'm not and Ill tell you why: I am working very hard so that in the next 5 years A LOT of things Change!

This won't be one of those UBER serious 5 year deals but  Ill cover the big playas of my plan! 

(side note: I am devoted to making all of these goals realities, no matter what it takes)

By the year 2017 I would have liked to accomplish these goals!

 Goal #1:

Graduate with a Bachelors Degree in Business

Goal #2: 

Have Meaningful Job

Go from feeling like this about my job

to feeling like this

 

Goal #3:

Change my name to 

Mrs. 

with two L's

Goal #4: 

Buy me one of these three and have it paid off:

Yes I do favor the color red!

Goal #5:

LAST but not least in the next 5 years I would have liked to have met  the guidelines of this article:

My Money at age 30-32

Now don't get me started on what I want to have accomplished in the next year as this is a doozie even for me. Right now I am very happy in the place that I am in. I know what I want and I know how to get it. I am fortunate to have family and friends who keep a smile on my face. I am lucky to have a man in my life who supports me unconditionally and keeps me in check!   

THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW!

Crazy For CrossFit or Just Plain Crazy

Oh hello! Happy Tuesday, guess what Y'ALL! I just stepped it up a notch or two! This ol' blog will now have a weekly feature post.... Allow me to introduce you to "Crazy for CrossFit or just Plain Crazy"

Natey and I have started crossfit again! YES YES this girl once upon a time could do a pull up or two! Last year around this time Nate and I joined CrossFit Fort Pierce... we started out on a 3 month deal. (January through April) Well right around April is when Nate and I were homeless and had to move in with my folks in Stuart. So we opted to take a break. Well the BREAK IS OVA! 

ITS ABOUT TIME!

So in the spirit of being bat shit crazy I decided to start a weekly post to track my progress... a.k.a moan and groan about the crazy shiat I am about to put my body through. 

Week 1: Weight 121.4   Mood - Excited, Determined, Scared Shitless! 

Tone that tummy! 

Popeye is laughing hard right now!

Baby Steps!

Oh hello body: STOP DRINKING BEER!

This ins't going to cut it on the boat!

 Bring on the Ab workouts!

Okay so I think we get the point! My goals for the next three months are to:

1. Survive. 

2. Be able to finish a WOD RX STYLE!

3. Do a pull up without the bands.

4. Beat some dude in an arm wrestle!

The hard part is that I am also going to school 3 nights a week. Luckily Natey said he would make dinner etc ...so on some nights I'll be hittin up that 7:30 class! On other nights ill take my booty to the bridge! 

So for this week it looks like my CF Schedule is: 

Tuesday - 5:30 - Tonight's WOD (workout of the day)

5 rounds  

5 deadlifts (275/185) 

10 burpees

Wednesday - 7:30

Thursday - NO SCHOOL - CF 5:30

Friday - 5:30

Saturday - Run the bridge

Sunday Rest!

Have a great day/evening everybody! If you leave a comment... be gentle hahaha!

Once in a Blue Moon kind of weekend!

What a weekend! I am so thankful this morning! Nate and I are seriously blessed with a great group of friends. This was the kind of weekend that doesn't happen all the time, the kind of weekend you hope every weekend can mimic. (aside from the terrible hangover I experienced Saturday morning.) Let me break it down!

Friday: Steven and Christina, our nearest and dearest friends in the Fort picked us up and we headed to downtown Ft Pierce. We started our night at Yellow Tail. After a few beers we met with some friends and then made our way to a new spot, Ft Pierce Frozen Yogurt. After having hot dogs, soft serve ice cream and beer we headed to On the Edge. LOVE THAT PLACE! The Edge is very lively .... we always go home with stories! There was a Wendy's Pit stop and then home. Thank you Steven and Christina (aka Miss Daisy) for such a great evening!

Lew Haines (Christina) and I @ Yellow Tail.

Future Mr. and Mrs. Haines... Aren't they the cutest! @ On the Edge

Saturday: ROUGH start... Yours Truly was in a bad bad way... in fact I don't think I am going to go into too much detail! Moving on! So in my last post I said I had some tricks up my sleeve for Mr. Wills! With the help of some friends we were able to get a group of us together for a BIRTHDAY BEACH BAR BIKE CRAWL. Starting at a local hot spot, Archie's we all met and surprised Natey! We had quite the gang! Even my mom and pop came to celebrate! It was a beautiful day...I really had such a great time with everyone! The path route was to start at Archie's, then ride to On the Edge, then head over the bridge to Buck Shot Bay. We were to then ride back over the bridge and back to Archie's. Plans changed a little bit! Once the sun went down the trip back over the bridge wasn't too appealing so a few of us got the cars and loaded the bikes. THE END ....................NOT!!! 

The Birthday Boy and me!

Gettin Silly with The Bro and Ames!

                 

My cookie (Annie) and Edward The Sow! Love these two!!!!

After loading our bikes we all decided to pile into Stevens Car (7 deep) and made our way to Downtown Vero. After the 30 minute car ride that consisted of 7 adults singing along to Top 90's hits and gangsta rap we made it to The Kilted Mermaid. If you live in the area and haven't been there then I suggest you make yourself a plan to get there. So cool! They specialize in fondue (fondont?) cheese/desert and always have live music! I have been there 3 times and have had a blast every time! After a round or two (Don't worry mom and dad, family and friends. I stopped drinking and was DD) we went to Stamp Bar another Kick Ass hidden treasure in Vero. Why do they have all the awesome bars??? Come on Ft Pierce get yo shiat together! Make sure you check out the video below:

Last Call and Birthday Boy Speech. 




Sunday morning I felt like a million bucks! Our morning consisted of cleaning and napping. Pretty low key. It was another beautiful day so we got ourselves dressed and took Dakota to the beach. This was her first beach experience. See the pictures below.

Our Beach Pup:

   

Dakota : 1-10 minutes of beach experience 

Dakota : 11 minutes after being at the beach! 

We ended our night with a a little birthday dinner. Stone Crab, baked potato, and veggies. I for one think My Birthday boy is a Happy Camper. Being that today is his Official Birthday ... I just want to say, I have truly met my match. I thank my lucky stars daily that we were brought together. He is my best friend and the Monkey I will love forever.

Happy Birthday Natey! I love you!

THE MANY FACES OF NATE WILLBUR

FRIDAY : I think LOOOVE YOU~

I cannot wait till the clock says 3:30...because its quitting time for yours truly! On the agenda for this weekend there will be a little cleaning, a little Christmas decoration dismantling, a little Murphy bed destruction, and last but not least and most certainly not little but rather A LOT OF CELEBRATING!!! Oh yes FOLKS my sweet sweet boyfriend and best friend TURNS 30! Actually he turns 30 on Monday (which I think blows birthdays on Mondays suuuck) But that's okay because we are just going to celebrate his birthday all weekend! ANNND I have some "tricks for the kids" up my sleeve.

So long as I see a few of these legendary Nate Faces I will know he is having a GREAT time!

Hope everyone has a excellent weekend! 

Happy BIRTHDAY MONKEY DAY 1!

Coming up next week:

Crossfit YIKES

3 nights of school DOUBLE YIKES

OFFICE PAINTING CARPET REMOVING!!!!

(this full time working college student needs herself some study space) 

WELL HELLO THERE 2012!

Goodbye 2011! 

I will not say that 2011 was a bad year or a good one but what I will say is that I am ready for 2012! Nate and I rang the new year in with my brother Greg and My friend/ his girl friend Amy. After working an 11 hour day on Friday we opted to make a trip to Orlando on Saturday morning  NYE. Thank goodness because I was pooped. 

The plan was to get up to Orlando (which is about 2 hours north of Ft Pierce) and hangout with Nate's Mom then head to Downtown Orlando for dinner at Ceviche. In years past Nate and his buddies would always spend NYE together in downtown Orlando. But after 7 years (i believe) the tradition was laid to rest. 

Here is Nate at "the booth" where many a countdown took place!

Anyhow we got downtown around 8 pm and got a table at Ceviche right away! By 8:30 we had ourselves some sangria and tapas!

The rest of the evening went a little something like this:

Bar # 1 Eye Spy

Bar # 2 The Lodge

Bar #3 The Harp and Celt

Then back to Eye Spy for the countdown!

 Lots going on this week and weekend! Starting classes on Thursday AND THEN My Natey Wills turns 30 years old!

HELLO 2012!
