Post 100!!

Well my dear friends, this is officially my 100th post.. how awesome is that????
So i've decided i'm going to just be posting my pictures and what not during the weekends or mondays or what ever.. but NOT every day.lol. sorry!
so on to this past week...
1. i started doing a little more running.. YAY ME! but i felt pretty gross and actually ended up getting sick:( bummer!!! BUT i did run 9.5 miles on friday..and i felt AWESOME! bring on these half marathons:)

2. Still reading my awesome devotion.. i love it!

3.
Quinoa and blueberries.. MMMM!
how awesome is this? it looks like a smiley face on the bottom of my peanut butter!! haha.
fish and tomatoes and much more.. soo yummy
a mess of coconut curry veggies, but it was REALLY tasty.
more food.. haha.. wanna guess what my week consisted of? eating, eating, and more eating would be correct..

WE GOT SNOW!!! about 4 inches to be exact..YAY!!
yup, i live on this stuff.. haha..
There is no place like home♥
alissa and i made the BEST peanut butter truffle brownies on earth!!
there has never been a more loving, more calm, more awesome animal on earth.. Aspen is my baby.. i picked her out of the puppies.. i named her.. i LOVE her.. haha.. yup, she makes me smile like nothing else can=]

so that was my week! kinda crazy.. kinda long.. but spring break is less than 2 weeks away. BAM!

T.O.F.U

randomness is right up my ally right now.. so here is a piece of the randomness stomping through my brain..

remember WAY back in the day..
[ok, in january] when i attempted to make some tofu?
ok well i just don't understand HOW PEOPLE CAN GO VEGAN!
i read multiple blogs about people who live on tofu and veggies.. i hope you all realize you are quickly [no, not slowly, quickly] killing yourself..
God made animals for a reason.. some to look at, and SOME to eat!
as for this nasty tofu crap..
1) It feels like slimy mush
2) It smells gross
3) it looks like a hunk of rubber
4) It tastes like NOTHING.. seriously, nothing at all
5) DON'T EVER TRY TO GET ME TO EAT TOFU! my one and only experience was life altering.. i chose to live on steak, chicken, fish, burgers, bacon, ham, turkey, etc.. you get my point.. not some mushy rubbery nastiness...
6) last of all.. for those of you veggie people..FISH IS MEAT!!
[they are trying to make it look nice.. and it STILL looks DISGUSTING!]

ok, i'm done.. moral of the story is, don't eat tofu.. it is not a real protein source.. its rubber, disguised as food:O

You want MY soul.

'Cause You don't want to let me go,
Owner of the world but You want MY soul.'

What kind of a God do we serve that he holds the whole world in his hands, but he also knows how many hairs are on our heads?
What kind of a God do we serve that he could blow this world away in a second, but he gives us second chances?
What kind of a God do we serve that he has to deal with people fighting all over the world, but he still cares about our own personal battles?

It is still impossible for me to understand..

What an awesome God we serve.

epic fail. =]

Well, if you all hadn't noticed, this whole blog thing has been an EPIC fail.. however, incase you forgot, IT WAS NOT my new years resolution to blog every day, you just got super lucky at the beginning of the year..hahahaha..
but, i haven't in fact been keeping up my end of the new years resolutions, pretty much..

1. I have been training hard for my half marathon which is now officially in about 3 weeks. SO CRAZY! Saturday i ran 10 miles..outside.. and it was actually really nice! it was warm, sunny, and i ran a 10:24 pace.. i know, pretty slow, and i have to cut 1 1/2 minutes off each mile for my half if i plan on break 2 hours.. but i have faith i will do it:) so i just have to continue training hard! This friday i will be running 13, and then its homestretch from there! wahoo! i'm ridiculously excited.lol

2. I have also been reading my devotion, which is a huge pick me up every day.. I LOVE IT! still..teehee. you should totally read it:)
