Hi Friends!
Since I made my last post I have really committed to that transformation. I feel so convicted to make this change that it’s been on my mind constantly. It has been bleeding into so many areas of my life I know it’s more important than ever to really focus on being the person I was meant to be! One of the first things I’ve been doing is really just disconnecting. #RISK. Something about technology makes us feel so anxious, like we have to be constantly available. So often we apologize when we didn’t answer our phones quick enough, why? Apologizing for being in the moment? Enough of that. Enough being sorry for being caught up in your own life.
This past weekend Matt and I planned to have a date day! Sometimes the weekends seem so full of chores and responsibilities that I’m desperate for some fun. We planned a day of activities that we really enjoy to do and aside from taking photos (which should be taken on my camera, but ugh so heavy .. ) I was so disconnected from the world & sooo stress free!
Saturday morning we went to the gym & got distracted with an impromptu photo shoot 🙂
After the gym we got all fresh and put real clothes on (sayyy whatt?!) and headed out.
We went to the range first so Matt could shoot his new gun. I have taken my concealed carry class & am usually quite comfortable with guns but Saturday was PACKED at the range all it was so overwhelming. Literally some people shouldn’t be allowed to come 50ft near a weapon, but …that’s none of my business. Anyways, I decided to pass and just be the photographer.
Like look at this smoke show. This is mine…lawd.
After that we went to see Creed, finally. Ironically the Rocky’s have been on all week so we were already in the mind frame but damn that movie was good. It’s so rare a franchise can come out with that many movies but they just keep getting better. It was late when we got out of there but Matt and I were both all fired up & motivated.
I ate an entire popcorn to myself as well and feel only slightly ashamed. We popped around some stores, grabbed Matt a new pair of shoes and had dinner at Szechuan 132. It’s really the only nice sit down Chinese restaurant and we only ever got with my grandmother. I’m a terrible blogger (or a phony) and didn’t snag any photos but I had an amazing chicken pad thai.
Sunday we were pretty lazy. We had all intentions of shooting our bows but it was rainy and crappy so it was just a lot of lounging. We watched the message from church online (pc3live.org) and made another round of steaks for dinner – steaks, mashed potatoes, veggies – is there anything more to life? This photo below is actually from NYE – I am a fraud.
Now, it’s Monday and there is no long weekend in sight and I am dying! But good hair days call for celebrations …
Before I go, I’ll share you a little snippet of the message from church yesterday –
“When we move into heaven it will just be one more day of us living in God’s kingdom so we need to start living and preparing for that today. Today counts! There is only one way to God (through Jesus) but there are many ways to Jesus. Someones way to Him may just be THROUGH YOU. Try viewing your life and purpose through this vision”
I am praying for an opportunity to come true this week so all prayers are welcome! I’m trusting in God that He will bring me where I need to be as part of His perfect plan.
XO,
Casey
