Next Chapter

Things just got real. This is the last of my outfits from Utah. Weird. I never ever ever ever ever thought about what if would feel like when I left Utah. And left that chapter of my life. A lot of amazing things happened in Provo. I made some of my best friends. Memories that will last forever. I felt heartache. I felt a lot of joy. I accepted defeat. I learned what it meant to fail. I found out it is okay to say no and that I don't have to be the best. I found my path. I achieved more than I could have ever hoped. I met my husband. I got married. The best moments of my life so far. And now it is all packed up and shipped out. The beauty of Provo, Utah? Everyone is in the same chapter. Going to school or recently graduated and starting out their career. No kids or just a little baby. We are all starving students just trying to start out. I loved that. I loved having so much to relate to with everyone around me. And it didn't really set in that we aren't going back until this very moment... as I right this post. But now we have a lot to look forward to. Making new friends. Meeting new people. Being thrown into a whole new world. And I am excited.

Top: c/o ToAdorn || This is my second post featuring ToAdorn items. I have been LIVING in this top. I've worn it at least four times in the last two weeks. It is so comfortable. Great material. And it goes with jeans, leggings, and skirts - that is right I have worn it with all three at least once. You can get 10% off your order with the code "Ilovetoadorn". Watch for more from them in the future. I am loving their product.

Ring: c/o BornPretty || A Great site for discount jewelry. I recently ordered a handful of items and my total didn't go over $10. This ring is great because it is adjustable, so I didn't have to stress about ordering the right size. It adds the perfect girly flare to my outfits. I also got a few other items that will be showing up in Arizona this week and on the blog soon! You can get 10% off your order with the code "DMT10".

Busy Breakfast

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Jimmy Dean, but all my opinions are my own.

I am slowly getting back after being missing all last week. Maybe you noticed. Maybe you didn't. Either way I am calling attention to it. Life has been way busier than I expected. With a full time athlete and a full time event ops manager - we are running around like crazy people here, which meant little time for blogging. Heck, it even meant little time for eating! We have been fueling our days with Jimmy Dean Redbox Meals from Walmart. They are quick, easy, and delicious. Emphasis on the quick. Our favorite are the Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Croissant Sandwiches and the Jimmy Dean Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches... Let me tell you why they are important to us.

Adam is an athlete. And for the longest time he has been trying to put on weight - hence his nickname of Skinny. Well since last season that has really been his main focus. Gaining weight. Good weight. Muscle weight combined with eating enough to keep him on full and keep him healthy. This is where Jimmy Dean comes in. Adam can grab a sandwich on his way out the door to weight or practice. Then he is fully pumped and fueled for whatever it coming his way that day. And while they are helping his weight stay up. They aren't weighing him down! And it is quick and easy to make.

1. Open the Jimmy Dean package and place on a paper towel.

2. Wrap the sandwich up in the paper towel.

3. Place in the microwave on defrost (if frozen) for 1 minute. Then flip the sandwich over and heat for 1 minute.

4. Take the sandwich out. Let it cool. Enjoy!

See? Easy. And quick. And delicious. And perfect for the family on the go! These breakfast options are available at your local Walmart. Just four steps and about three minutes and you are out the door. So like I said... life has been busier than expected. But we are accomplishing things one day at a time and staying fueled while we do it. Adam and I are officially moved down to Arizona. I started my new full time and way more time consuming job at the new hotel. Adam started his throwing program at the Diamondbacks facility and he starts mini camp later this week. We've been living in the hotel and we officially get to move out and into our new apartment at the end of the week. Other things on the list? Renters insurance, file our taxes, unpack, buy sheets and a comforter (sheets are a must - comforter isn't a rush) for our new bed, a couch for our new place, and... the list keeps going. Basically what I am getting at is we are busy. And we will be busy for awhile. So don't mind if I miss a day or two around these parts. We are busy people. But we are getting things done because we are making sure we eat. What could a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich do for you? How do you make your busy days successful? What do you have on the planner these next few weeks?
