Our Favorite Meal of the Day - Breakfast

Breakfast has become our favorite meal of the day. It all started when we were first married. Three months after our wedding, I jumped in full time with Stephen to join forces. I had just graduated from college and quit my part time job. We had this routine that we would wake up at 6am and go to the gym before starting work. When Wednesday rolled around, we were both exhausted and wanted a day to sleep in past our 5:30am alarm. We quickly dubbed Wednesdays as our “date day” and we would go to a favorite breakfast place in our hometown of Chico or be adventurous and try someplace new. This weekly tradition lasted nearly a year. From then on, breakfast has always been our favorite time of day to go on a date when we get a chance.

Fear Will Always Be There - Three Lessons From A Dance Class

Fear can paralyze you. Making you feel small. Making you want to turn and run away. Fear will always be there, it’s how you react to the fear that matters! I know this because that’s exactly how I felt a few weeks ago. If I’m really being honest, it’s often how I feel when making a new business decision or big personal decision. We all struggle with doubts and have fears to go along with them.  Personally, I like to weigh the odds and try to know what my outcome could be. I often want to grasp for control instead of stepping out and just rolling with the situation.

Lessons About Marriage This Week

Let’s be real this morning. Spoiler alert: we’re not perfect people and sometimes we fight! Hurting each other’s feelings, being misunderstood, not communicating well, those are all parts of any relationship and especially true in marriage! For Stephen and I, sometimes this comes up more than we’d like to admit, because unlike most couples, we’re together every minute of every day (almost)!
