The Week's Review....

Another week has come and leaving quickly! The weekend was beautiful and we spent lots of time in the sunshine and warm air playing with the dogs and doing some much needed yard clean up from the bitter winter, that I hope is gone! It seems like it has been a very busy week with something needing attention everyday.....

We did work in a swim Monday night and the water felt great...however showering and getting dressed in the FREEZING locker room, NOT SO GREAT.

Tuesday we got to see the baby AGAIN :) "It" (for now) was moving and waving happily at us! Everything looked good and fingers crossed and prayers requested my blood work is the same way. We have decided (pretty much I decided) that we will be going to Watch Me Grow on Friday, the 18th to find out what the baby is...mostly because I can't wait much longer nor do I want the child to have a complex if its a girl because Brooks and Bryson only call it a he! Very excited to see what our family will be completed with...although I want a girl, if its a boy then that means that I get to have another mommy's boy and that will be just fine too. Its becoming obvious in my small size shirts that I am in need of a bigger size SOON! BUT thankfully I have only gained 3 pounds and I couldn't be more happier with that.

Wednesday was just Wednesday nothing big or exciting other than cleaning out the basement.

Today work went well and I did a couple of  miles on the treadmill at the Y.

I am looking forward to the weekend and hopefully sleeping in just a little bit...I haven't rested well the past few nights and I am hoping that I can sleep peacefully soon and not feel so drained by 10am. Hope you have had a fun week and plan on having a good weekend! Be safe and ENJOY the Super Bowl! Love you, Alysha

we bought a house.....

 i have wanted to jot down my thoughts for months....the college topic is one that i want to document as its ever changing and needs a place to be remembered....this blog although it sits for periods of time, is my way to reflect on how much life changes-good times, hard things, happy seasons, just life. this college topic is one that i have started and stopped a handful of times and maybe because the timing wasn't what it needed to be.....but now it is! ....we bought a house! we have NEVER gone so far out of our comfort zone....we have also never done the whole realtor route, look at options-10 of them to be exact, close with a lawyer deal....because most know we bought our home from my dad when bryson was 2! yes, we bought it, but we didn't need a realtor (or their fees) and we didn't need a lawyer as we closed at our kitchen table! so living the process from start to finish has been an experience (not a bad one, honestly, more seamless than i envisioned), but nonetheless...

i am changed.....

  covid changed me, you read that right. that's when i changed. i changed my outlook, i changed our routines, i changed our home! i changed a lot of things because it changed me and somehow makes me see the tragedy that occurred in the state of NC last week differently. there is perhaps a little bit of aging in my outlook too, don't get me wrong, but i am forever a different person as the years pass. i am not the same as i was last year and i won't be the same next year, i am certain. but it's these types of life changing events that make you sit up and realize. it. could. all. be. gone. tomorrow. and if you don't realize that, search asheville, boone, saluda NC….they are proof. the things we get up everyday to do on our to do lists, they don't necessarily matter. yes, i am a firm believer in a purpose, when my feet hit the ground every morning i go through my to-do list in my head, BUT it could change any minute of any day and we have to know what is important ...

post 5 of 6-----vision board progress!

post 5 of 6 for my 2023 vision board... i'm a tad behind which really annoys my OCD. the week didn't go as i had intended and i ended up sick which is not a norm for me, so i have struggled to recover and accomplish things that should have already been accomplished.  in this post i wanted to share my progress on my 2023 vision board.  my word of the year was intentional-i absolutely feel like i lived up to this word. i have caught myself on many occasions seeing that word in the middle of my board and bringing me back to being intentional! i have tried to leave things better than i found them, i have lived in the moment and worked hard at making things intentional.  grounding-i have failed on this one....it has been harder than i thought it would be, but grounding is something that i feel like i can mentally carryover and continue to work on.  travel-in my book we have accomplished this. brooks and i traveled to mexico. we have made several little trips-snowboarding,...
