SO MANY BLESSINGS!!!! And... WE GOT INTO NURSING SCHOOL!!! :)

Have made some major lifestyle changes, and have grown to LOVE eating mostly fresh veggies, fruits, whole grains and lean meats and staying away from processed carbs and sugars! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
Me just after completing one of our recent Crossfit work outs... which was, "do as many burpees as possible in 7 minutes"... I manages to do 91, with pushups at every bottom and jumping 6 inches past my full extension at every top... I was POOPED lol.

Jeff and I went for a long walk the other night around Everett... ended up being 9 miles! Yeah for great chatting times and super exercise!
Yesterday, we got letters in the mail saying, YOU ARE ACCEPTED TO EVERETT COMMUNITY COLLEGE NURSING PROGRAM!!!! Oh  man, I cried and screamed so much!!! This is a dream come true for me since I was 12 years old, and I'm SO SO grateful to the Lord for getting me this far and for the miracle of getting into such a competitive school, WITH JEFF!!! We were expecting to have to move away from Everett to another state to get into nursing school, but God did an amazing miracle and I guess he still want's us here, which I'm SO happy about!!!
Me ready to celebrate for the night after hearing that we got accepted!!! YIPPEE!!! Don't ever curl my hair, but it's such a celebration, I did. :)

Jeff and I just before we headed out to hang out with friends and celebrate!!!
Hanging out with our wonderful church friends, celebrating and listing to our church band's AMAZING music at Tabalas Restaurant.
Just me today after church today... still in shock and so so excited!

So far, school has been going great... have all A's in all three of my classes (nutrition, Spanish and public speaking) and we'll be starting the INTENSE nursing school with Jeff in a few short weeks. Here we go for another two years of a crazy ride. :) Thanks for the love and support out there!! :) God is so amazing!!!

Family, Pets, Food and Fitness.

Got to see my amazing brother who came back for a few days from CA! Always love my family visiting us!

Jeff and I made one of our fav meals together and had a special date night. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Our handsome dog Polar! WE LOVE HIM!!!
Our new garage gym for CROSSFIT!!! So nice to no be paying for a gym anymore and to have it right in our garage! It's been amazing!
Polar got a visit from his girl cousin Lil for two weeks. :)
Our new month cleanse... consists of 4 small meals a day and one protein shake. Meals consist of a combination of colorful, dark veggies (peppers, spinach, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, avocados etc), eggs, fish, chicken, nuts, oatmeal, fruits (apples, berries, oranges, grapes etc.). NO PROCESSED SUGARS, OR CARBS. :) Feels amazing to be so healthy! We're trying to implement it in our lifestyle too, just not as strict.
I LOVE taking pics of the dogs WAY TOO MUCH!!! lol Aren't the BEAUTIFUL?!
Well, our classes are going awesome... so far acing each and every exam by God's grace and help!
