Three cheers for Friday!
Hip, hip, HOORAY!

Hip, hip, HOORAY!
This week went by quickly. Like, super quickly.
I thought it might go slowly because of the whole vacation hangover thing, but nope, it sped right along.
What did I do, you ask?
Good question – I don’t even remember.
I know I went to my women’s church group on Monday, our couples’ church group on Wednesday, I went to coffee with a girlfriend on Tuesday, and I had jury duty today. And of course, I made time for my girls Judge Judy and Ellen.
I also applied for a few jobs and went on an interview… yep, life was quite productive and happy and that’s all I can ask for!
Plus, fall is here and so I officially retired my flip flops for the season and whipped out my Frye boots. It’s always a good day when I can wear my Frye boots! (Which basically means that every day from now until April will be a ‘good day’ since they’re pretty much the only cold weather shoe I own).
Anyway, Friday can only mean one thing on this blog… Friday Fours!

4 Favorite Things:
- Sparkling water.

4 Confessions:
- I had jury duty this week and didn’t dislike it nearly as much as I thought I might! (But more on that next week).
- Now that it gets dark before 5pm, my laziness starts around 4:30pm and I just can’t shake it! (So instead, I’m choosing to embrace it).
- Vacationing really didn’t help my CrossFit performance. I went once this week and have been sore for DAYS. I’m hoping that if I go a few times I’ll be less sore… but somehow I don’t think that this reverse logic is going to work.
- “Call Me Maybe” is still my ring tone. I’m pretty sure I’m living in the past 2012.

Featured Blog:
I’m very excited to introduce you to my featured blogger this week! Stevie from “Colorful Commotion” is such a friendly and down-to-earth lady and her blog definitely showcases that.
A fun fact: Stevie got married in July and (from what she’s shared so far on her blog) her wedding pictures are absolutely gorgeous. You should definitely, definitely check them out. Actually, one of my favorite posts on this blog is wedding related! Stevie wrote an entire post about what went wrong on her wedding day and as a newlywed myself, let me tell you, I could definitely relate to and appreciate this honest post!
Along with the theme of honesty, one of the things I respect about Stevie is that she writes and tries to stay accountable to monthly goals. I can barely set yearly goals, so when people set monthly goals, I am in awe! Plus, I think that bloggers who share their weaknesses and continuous efforts of improvement with the (internet) world are especially admirable.
I could go on about Stevie and her blog for quite a while, because she is someone I follow and root for in life and online, but instead you should probably just see for yourself!
So feel free to stalk follow her (and her blog!) on Bloglovin’, Twitter, and Facebook.
