The Journey of Parenthood…

What I’m Loving Wed!

Normally I LOVE blogging. But sometimes I get in a rut. Where I don’t really feel like it. Where I’d rather just sit and do nothing. I get in a funk and it can take a bit to get back out of it. I’m trying really hard just to allow myself to feel and go through emotions as they come because when times are harder and we have pain to deal with, it’s better to DEAL with it than IGNORE it. Emily’s old coping? Denial. Emily’s new coping? Dealing. 🙂

Anyways. Today’s a funky kinda day. I’ve been sitting at my computer for an hour now. An hour! And I’ve checked FB like 1,000 times. And I’ve scrolled through my drafted blog posts. Scrolled through my recently uploaded IPhoto pics. Scrolled down and read some of the new posts other bloggers have posted. Basically anything to avoid actually blogging myself 😉 While doing all that awesome scrolling I came across What I’m Loving Wednesday. I totally didn’t realize Jamie was still doing them and thought this would be the perfect way to get out of the funk: find the GOOD 🙂

So here goes!

What I’m LOVING on this rainy “funky” Wednesday!

I’m LOVING that this week Britt officially has dropped her morning nap! While it’s tough dealing with her in this adjustment phase, it’s exciting to have some FREEDOM now that we don’t have to be home from 9-11 every morning 🙂

I’m LOVING The Bachelorette! Zach and I filled out brackets this season and it makes it so, so fun! I originally wasn’t a huge Brooks fan but after their first date this week I really like him. What he shared with her about his personal life really hit home with me and made me feel like I was going to cry because I could so relate to the stuff he said and how he feels. Plus when I went googling around about him I was pleasantly surprised at what I found. Hello Brooks!

I’m LOVING this rainy weather! I just wanna curl up and cuddle. I have been struggling with sleeping at night lately but the storms last night gave me some awesome, much-needed rest!

I’m LOVING that I had a special treat after my yearly physical this morning and got my hair done! To me, there is NOTHING better than some fresh hair! Am I right? Here’s me blogging away…it’s hard to tell but it’s got a LOT more brown in it than it has in awhile. I really like it and Zach gave his seal of approval as well 🙂

I’m LOVING that Zach and I are a few months into our “spending smart” plan and that we’ve really found a good groove with it! It’s exciting to have goals and to be working towards them together 🙂

I’m LOVING how much swimming we have been doing around here! We’ve been in our pool several times a week and it’s so much fun! Britt constantly runs around the house saying “pool…poooooool” 

I’m LOVING that I’ve started the planning process for Britt’s first Disney World trip...I cannot BELIEVE she’s almost old enough to go and it is bringing back so many wonderful memories of Kye’s first visit!

I’m LOVING that I just ordered my own spray tan system! I will be posting ALL about it soon but I’ve decided no more laying out and am missing being tan (b/c HELLO tan fat is better than white fat, right?). It should arrive in the next couple of days! I had a spray tan for Casey and Jordan’s wedding and can’t wait to have that nice, even color year round!

I’m LOVING that I finally got around to updating my Ipod. I have been jamming out to some great “Mommy Music” in the car when I go to run errands. I love how songs can bring so many memories to the service and I love riding solo and singing at the top of my lungs! I might just drive around the neighborhood a bit before pulling the driveway so I can enjoy my “me time” haha

I’m LOVING that we have a Game Night planned this weekend! I am hardcore about some game nights. It’s always so fun staying up late and laughing with good friends! I’m sure we’ll be busting out either some Loaded Questions or some Tripoly 😉

I’m LOVING that the medical bills from my foot surgery have finally stopped rolling in. Although I’m still not fully healed, it hurts a little less to know that it’s at least paid for in full haha!

I’m LOVING that in just a few weeks I’ll be getting to mark another item off of my “bucket list” because I’m getting to go to GRACELAND! I know, that’s random. But legit I can’t wait 🙂 Elvis is THE KING!

What are you loving this week? Be sure to join the link-up over on This Kind of Love!
