Okay guys, this post is a little different. I want to hear from YOU!
When I was in college and high school I was very motivated. Not just in my studies and schoolwork, but I was motivated to work out and be active and just basically be the best me I could be.
...however...the time has come where I have lost motivation and I am really struggling to get it back. I work basically full time and I am taking graduate classes. I am also a recent newlywed and spend time keeping up with the apartment and cooking, shopping etc. Not to mention spending time with my hubby. I want to know what motivates you? How do you get pumped up for that after-work workout? How do you fire yourself up to complete a daunting task? I would LOVE to hear from everyone! Please comment below and tell me how you get motivated!
My next post will be the top reasons that I hear for getting and staying motivated :)
Have a happy Tuesday!

Never Ending To-Do List
Do you ever feel like your to-do list never ends? You cross off 5 things, and 6 more magically appear on your notepad...yeah I totally understand that. Some days it seems as if I will never get caught up. I think what we have to do if we are in this situation is realize that we will never be completely caught up. We have to have our priorities in check and make sure we are doing what's MOST important first. For me, God is MOST important, and Zach is next in line. If I am spending my time with God, and giving Zach the next big chunk of my time, everything should fall into place.
Do I do this...? No.
If you are like me you struggle with priorities even when you know who and what should come first. Maybe you have 2 jobs, and you're in graduate school and you promised her you'd be at that event and you have 12 errands to run and you have two huge tests to study for that will determine your future and you have too many obligations to too many people and you're applying for that big first real job and you are trying to figure out your next step in life....and this and that and fifty other things that need to be done..
So here is the punch line-- give yourself a break, you're only human. Make time for yourself so you can "fill your own cup" and therefore be able to pour into others.
Remember, you are loved first and foremost by a Great God and He wants you to be happy.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day today!
Sincerely,
Brandy

Crazy Weather and Hump day Excitement
I haven't blogged in a while and I chalk that up to having a crazy stressful life. Now before you feel bad for me, i've done most of this to myself lol
I love to craft and upcycle things and pretty much do anything that involves a hot glue gun, my husband will attest to that. (Praise God for giving me somebody who is supportive of my crazy hobbies) Sometimes I will literally destroy a room during a project and he never seems to mind :)
So last week we had amazing and beautiful warm weather, and then Monday --it iced and snowed. I was sad, and I truly believe that weather has the ability to get me down. :(
But, alas!
Today is Hump day and it has been my very favorite day ever since this summer. This past summer I worked at a zoo and lunch time was always hang out with the animals time, which is amazing and I miss it terribly. So, one Wednesday afternoon, my fellow interns and I decided to ride the camels on our lunch break. CAMELS ON HUMP DAY! I mean c'mon that's probably the most awesome thing you could ever do right?
This past summer had its ups and down but I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
I am excited to see what this summer will bring. And I am excited/nervous to see where my life is going to take me in the next year or so. A lot is up in the air but I know that God has a plan mapped out for me and all I need to do is listen. I hope everyone has an absolutely fantastic HUMP DAY! Woop WOOP!
