Snow Yesterday

So yesterday the south was getting to say some of us got excited and some of us not. 

It was just a regular day. My area was only supposed to get a "dusting."  It started around 10. Then it got worse. We only got 1 to 2 in. I know that's not a lot but the south isn't used to it. 

The ice on the roads got worse. Schools were closing early. And so much more. 

The people I nanny for were stuck on the road. Thankfully they got home. Even they had to walk home. It was only a mile because they left their car in a parking lot. 

Some people did not get home at all. My mom is stuck at work. Thankfully her boss found her and co workers places to stay. :) 

Some people are stuck at schools.  Kids and teachers. Some parents even walked to get their kids because they were stuck. Some parents felt bad they couldn't get their babies. 

My baby sister got home. My dad got home too. He brought home a few co workers and my sister brought home a few friends and siblings.  

I'm stuck at the place I nanny. They provided me a bed, toiletries, etc.  I possibly will have to spend the night here again tonight. 

So please everyone keep the south in your prayers. 

However this our farm with snow.

This is one of interstates! 280. 

Song of 2014

This song was given to me by one of my Overcome The Lie sisters. Words can't describe how much I needed it. It reminds me so much of my testimony. So I cried so much. I hope you enjoy.

Dear 18 Year Old Kaitlyn....

Dear 18 Year Old Kaitlyn, 

I wanted to write you for sometime. There's a lot going on in your life right now, but I wanted to remind you of a few things. 

First thing. You are beautiful. You may not feel like you are, but you are. Not just outwardly which I know you struggle with since you were 15. Inwardly as well. Your beauty shines from the inside out. 

Second. Don't let anyone take away your joy. Your joy makes you who you are. I know you care more about others, but you don't need them take away your joy. 

Third. Some guy will love you. I know guys have been using you for your friends and/or don't like you. But guess what you find someone loves you for you.   He loves your silliness, your awkwardness, and so much more. 

Lastly. You are finally working out and doing it for you. You aren't doing for mom, for a guy, etc. Yes it make a few times to finally get it. But girl you are getting it!! :) It is going to be a hard long road, but you've got this!! :) 

Love, 

24 Year Old Kaitlyn 

Ps your relationship with your family is so much better too!! :).

I Will Give You Rest...

This week has been very restful. After my crazy and not so good week last week. 

However it didn't take until Wednesday to do it. 

On Monday my alarm went off to workout and I thought I had pushed snooze. Apparently not. I turned it off by accident. So I overslept. And then I worked late so I couldn't go workout. 

I also worked late on Tuesday as well. 

This also happened on Wednesday that happened on Monday. 

I talked to Bryan about it and he said maybe God is telling you something. 

And boy God was. I've been going 90 mph these past few weeks. I haven't had time to stop and praise him for what's he been doing. I also haven't been sleeping good at all. 

So I this week I just focused on eating well. I messed up a little but besides that I had a good week eating. 

I've been resting in God's word and sleeping great!! :). 

This verse really spoke to me during this week!! 

 I can't wait to see what God has in store next week! :).

Top 5 New Healthy Things I've Found

So I'm linking up with the beautiful mother to be Joy!! :). My first time too!! Woot woot!! :). 

So since I'm trying to eat as clean as possible I've found some good eats. That I absolutely love!! I can tell you where to get it! :). 

First one is 

You can get these meals at Target. They are so so good. They are so many kinds. From sunbutter made out of sunflower seeds, tuna, hummus, pepperoni, turkey, etc. they are next to Mac and cheese. Also it is a plus doesn't have to be refridgerated! You can also order online. 

2 

I was introduced to this hummus with meal above. It is so so good. It is by far the best hummus I've ever had. :) 

Publix should have it in the chip isle, but you can also order it online. And you can get ones that don't have to refridgerated.

3.

 

I've been using almond milk with my shakeology. It is so so good. I have been mix in lots of fruit. :). It is so good.  It can be found anywhere. 

4. 

I love me some guac. It is so hard to do so I always buy these. And they are 100 calories which is a plus. I got these at Publix. 

5. 

I love quiona but it is so hard to know when it's done sometimes. This is found in the frozen section at target. 

I haven't had this one yet. There's at least 4 flavors. 

I have tried the southern western flavor. So so good. Quiona, black beans, pineapple, and red peppers. I wished I had some Tyson already made steak or chicken strips and guac when I had it. It was so so good. 

I hope you liked all my 5 suggestions!! ;). 

Love, 

Kaitlyn
