Meredith Vierra


(This is a very old picture of me taken by the lovely, Ali Formby. It reminds me of when I had great hair and a best friend who was dating a very bad person. I love this picture.)

Yesterday was a very normal day which I was very grateful for.
Normal days force me to recount what I did and think of something truly inspirational to blog about.
I came up with nothing.
Except that I watched the farewell to Meredith Vierra Today show last night.
I sat and cried for at least an hour.
1. Because I missed Matt and wasn't going to see him yet again.
2. I have loved MV since the first day she was on Today 5 years ago.
3. Their farewell show to her was incredibly touching.
4. Sometimes I'm just emotional.

So, now I must get used to them announcing, "This is TODAY with Matt Lauer and Ann Curry."
It'll take time.

Oh, and my cousin cleaned my house yesterday.
Let's all take a collective SIIIIIIIIIIGH of relief that I don't have to clean this week.
Ok, you don't have to sigh with me, but what a relief!
I HATE cleaning with all the passion I can muster and paying someone else to do it for me is completely acceptable in my book.
I hope I can do it forever and ever.

Sidenote: I am so completely in LOVE with the most wonderful man EVER. An even bigger relief than not having to clean my house is knowing that I don't have to look for Mr. Right anymore. If you are a single, Christian woman then you know exactly how time-consuming and heart-investing and exhausting this process is. I implore you, like everyone else has in your life, to keep your chin up and if you're having to work your little tooshy off to get that guy's attention, he is NOT the one. If you are completely comfortable talking to a guy and don't have to put on a front and wouldn't be embarrassed to introduce him to your parents, friends, strangers, etc. than he is in the running (given that he's a Christian obviously). Just sayin'.

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of

Official Proposal Story!!!

Image
So, finally, I will be telling you the wonderful story of how a regular date night turned into the most wonderful night of my life... Buckle in! It's a tear-jerker! Matt had told me earlier in the week that we were going to have Date Night Thursday night. He said he had been grumpy from his cutback on dipping and wanted to make it up to me. (I didn't think he'd been that grumpy, but I love date night, so I didn't argue.) I looked forward to it all week, and then Thursday came around and he sent me a text asking me to wear his favorite B/W sleeved dress. (Oddity #1) He's never asked me to where something before, and I might have complained a bit since it had sleeves and it was a scorching 102 that day! But, I conceded. Then, he said he'd pick me up at 5:45 (Oddity #2). I figured that was a bit early, but I was just happy that Matt was planning our date night out so nicely. So, I had been wanting to get off work a bit early that day, but it just wasn't so. The
