Thursday Things 10.30.14

Thursday Things 10.30.14

On my way home from work on Tuesday, which was a blustery fall day, I decided that I really wanted needed soup. So I made some and it was the best decision I made all day. Clearly it wasn’t that intense of a day, but hey, a good decision is a good decision.

It was a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, and a lotta bit pumpkiny.

I hope a big comforting bowl of soup is in your near future. Eat some while you check out these fun things:

  • Who doesn’t love a good idiom? Here are awesome ones from around the world.
  • Not gonna lie, I will be buying Taylor Swift’s new album. And it will be in CD form, because that’s how I roll.
  • I want to make ALL of these pizzas. Come over for dinner and eat these with me please. I’ll supply the pizza. You supply the wine/beer. Deal?
  • Minnesotans eat on frozen rivers all the time – while ice fishing in dinky ice houses. I think the dining experience at this restaurant on a frozen restaurant would be just a little bit different.
  • Traveling is a big and important piece of my life. Here is an awesome list of 20 trips to take in your 20s. I have a few of them checked off and a few to add to my “must travel to” list.

And hey, happy (early) Halloween! I hope you dress up in an awesome outfit and have a spookily good time.

Also, HAPPY (early) BIRTHDAY to my dear friend and amazing sister-in-law Kristin. Love you. You’re the bestest.

Welp, see you later.

xoxojd

    So many places to go, so little time (and money)! But I would rather slowly whittle down the list than not do it at all 🙂

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 ❤️
