Thursday Things 02.11.16

The Broncos won the Super Bowl! WOOP WOOP. I watched the first half of the game at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport, but then had to board the plane at half time, so I missed the last half of the game. Lame. To make up for it I went to the Super Bowl Parade on Tuesday with 1,000,000 of my closest friends. It was absolutely insane! Parking was a nightmare, but my friends and I made it to the route just in time for the parade to start. The energy from the crowd was ridiculous and it was a beautiful 55-degree afternoon. I spent the next few hours with friends on patios enjoying the February sunshine and views of the city. Not a bad Tuesday afternoon!

These things aren’t bad either:

  • A plethora of delicious options for Valentine’s Day dessert: conversation heart sugar cookies, Valentine’s Day almond cake, orange blossom almond cream tart for two, conversation heart cookies, peanut butter chocolate lava cakes, chocolate sugar cookie hearts, and one-bowl chocolate rose cake for two.
  • The 10 Pancake Commandments. Abide by these rules and make a delicious breakfast.
  • These simple wood slice shelves are pretty awesome.
  • 15 books to check out in 2016. I’ve read 5 of them and definitely want to check out the others!
  • The Lumineers have a new song called Ophelia. I’m slightly obsessed with them. Who want to go to their concert at Red Rocks on June 7 with me!?

I hope you are doing fun things this weekend, like getting together with people that you like a lot and maybe some that you love.

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
