Days 20-23

Day 20: Handwriting

This one is one of my favorites. I'm finding the pictures are getting harder to get something or remember, but this one I really like! My roommate from LaCrosse and I live nowhere near each other (ok 3 hours really isn't that far I know, but we are both really busy) so we're always communicating through snail mail. We write 4 page letters front and back to each other to keep up-to-date. It's hard not to give in to a quick email or facebook message, but it's so exciting getting the long letters to enjoy. In addition, she is amazing at throwing in an extra pick-me-up or celebration card at the exact moment you need it. We had a little incident with Brode that stressed me out and got me all frazzled a few weeks ago and I recently got this card in the mail from her with all the right words. She knows just what to say and how to say it to calm your heart and your mind. I'm so thankful I've got this special relationship with her that we can keep in touch so closely even if we do go long stretches of time getting caught up in our crazy lives. Who doesn't love a long best friend letter or a beautiful handmade card? Wait, did I mention that part, that all of her cards are first hand made and beautiful, then filled with the perfect words! We always joke in our letters about how my handwriting is horrible so I need to focus when I write her letters so she can read them, and she loves scribbling them out after teaching young children perfect handwriting all day. Perfect picture for handwriting day!

Day 21: A Fave Photo of You

My fave photo is currently my Facebook profile picture too of course. Brode and I do not have many pictures together. I'm always the one with the camera, or he has always taken his professional pictures alone. I looked through our Walt Disney World pictures the other day all 300+ of them and Brode and I have 3 pictures together! I love this one because it's just us, up close and personal, and filled with joy. Isn't his smile perfect?

Day 22: Where You Work

OK worst day to have this picture because I didn't work Wednesday as we were in Milwaukee! I suppose I could have taken one a different day, but it really isn't anything different than the YMCA or any other wellness center. A bunch of treadmills, ellipticals and weights lined up. My desk is in the corner and from the outside it's a big brick mill building.

Day 23: Your Shoes

I am always wearing athletic shoes because of work at both locations and running around! I have two pair I switch off between depending on what we're doing. These purple and silver pumas are more of my cardio and running around shoes. I also wear a pair of black and pink Nikes that I wear on strength days because they wrap around my heel a bit more and I stay much more stable through all the different exercises. These Pumas are extra good because they were 50% off at the Puma outlet the week of Thanksgiving/Black Friday sales!
