The Joy of Love Catch Up Post

The Joy of Love workshop 


I am behind so I am going to do a catch up post to get caught back up. If you haven't taken a look at all the amazing photos over at Willette Photography take a few minutes and do so - you won't be disappointed. 




Day 6 - Who They Love

Day 7 - Generations - Justin's Dad, Justin and His Momma

Day 8 - love from the heart - show a picture of how he shows you unconditional...

This is a picture of the counter at the bottom of my blog.  Justin and I have had many discussions and long talks about moving in together. We both know this isn't an easy step or something to take lightly. This to us is no turning back. It is the step before marriage. So agreeing to live with each is really special to us and we both agree that once we do it, there is NO moving out. So here is a picture showing love from the heart...

Day 9 - passions and hobbies 
Justin loves anything outdoorsy, one of his favorite past times includes Fly Fishing.  He won a giveaway on one of the blogs he reads and was very excited to "play" with all of his new fun fishing stuff....

Last night...

Last night after heading home from a very disappointing basketball game my head and heart were all over the place. We were all talking (Justin and 2 friends) about things and someone asked if I had heard anything from the possible new job, I had to say no - but remember it is only Day 1 of Week 2. They promised by the end of week 2 they'd call. As soon as I said that I proclaimed that I wish I would have perused the teaching job closer to the new house a little more. Justin agreed. We both talked about how we could make the pay decrease work and it would have worked out. Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda Talk. Until 10 minutes ago. When the teaching job just called for an interview THIS Friday at 10:30 -

I am not sure I believe in signs, but if I did - this would be one, right?

Day 2, All You Need is Love

It is Day 2 in the All You Need is Love Challenge....

The topic - When I'm feeling down, to cheer myself up I {LOVE} to..

 

Again, as sad as it is, cleaning can make me feel so much better. I love to have everything in its place, organized, smelling fresh and then be able to lay on the couch/bed and watch whatever trashy reality show I can find.

A good shopping trip can also cure anything.. - Groceries, Dollar General, Target, The Mall it doesn't matter, that rush of buying usually cures any sadness

What do you do for a quick pick me up??

All you need is Love Challenge

OK So here is Day 1 of the All you need is love Challenge...

The first topic is : When I need some me time I {LOVE} to...

• Curl up on the couch and watch hours a few episodes of any of The Real Housewives, Teen Mom or any other cheesy reality TV show...

• Clean, Manic Deep clean - please give me the bleach move over and let me get on my hands and knees and scrub.

• Run, the weather has been cold, snowy and gross but soon I hope to be back out there

• My iPhone - really this thing is a Hodge podge but I can blog, face book, chat, text, watch tv, tweet -  pretty much do anything I want while lying on the couch

 
 
• Speaking of laying on the couch - I love to snuggle up in my PJ's with a great book and think about nothing for a few hours

Joy of Love Day 5

Day 5 - You KNOW your loved one does something that drives you NUTS (but you LOVE to complain about it and the day just wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t have to complain about it).  Capture it…

I love that Justin is passionate about his blog - awesome opportunities are coming his way because of blogging. And I am happy because he is happy. But sometimes at the end of the day or during a conversation I want to throw the computer out the window  urrrr  tell him to please close the computer and focus on me hehehe

Day 6, 7 & 8 will all be tonight :)

7 quick takes...

1. February is here. I always look forward to February, it is a short month and March is just around the corner - March to me means Spring. I know we can still get snow in March but still March to me is spring.
2. I think we have decided on a Fondue night at home for Valentine's Day. Any one have any experience with Fondue at home? Please share your tips :)
3. I am loving the The Happiness Project - I am going to finish up Chapter 1 this weekend and hopefully Chapter 2 and do my post. It really is a great book and full of inspiration and statements that make you say, Duh, why didn't I think of that.
4. Take a minute and check out The Love Bomb Team - they have such an awesome platform and it is such a neat idea. It takes literally 2 minutes every week to do something great for some one else. It is free, easy and makes others feel better... Really what could be better?
5. It is the end of week one of the two week wait for the new job. Ugh. I need to hear something. Soon.
6. I tried the new McDonald's oatmeal this morning, it was really really good. I was surprised. Try some, you may like it too.
7. We are finally picking up our couch this weekend. Things are slowly coming together. I am excited to get settled and have one home. Now if I could only talk him into upgrading his cable to the next package so I could have Bravo I would be ecstatic... (ahemmm, love you ;) )

The Joy of Love Day 4

Today is all about what he wears.... 

Justin is as basic as  you can get when it comes to fashion. He loves his Levi's, Camo WVU hat, old work boots and a T-shirt.... But for some reason he can pull it off and the sight of any of these things makes my heart flutter....

His most favorite thing to wear has to be anything Camo - because when Camo is involved that means hunting or fishing.... (ha he as a good sport and went and put on his camo suit so I could snap a quick pick)

He even likes to wear fuzzy hats....

But as corny as it is, my favorite thing he wears is that smile....

(blocked out the work shirt logo)

Now the other love of my life wears clothes too... He just isn't as picky.....
