LISTEN HERE

Listen here ladies. Let's talk boys for a second. Gotta love em...but don't waste your time on someone that will only love you temporarily or partialy. It's not worth your loving precious time. When looking for a g.....STOP RIGHT THERE....that is where you are wrong. Stop looking!!! God will bring them to you. Besides, you will probably be looking for all the wrong things. You will look for eyes, nose, teeth, hair, body, job, frieneds, money, etc. when you should be looking for, time, parents, family, attitude, judgement, Jesus, and does he choose you first...These are just a few things that need to be considered when wanting to be with someone. I have experienced first hand what I thought love was. It was being there no matter what when they did things that you didnt like or things that contradicted what you and what you thought they believed in, even if they dont love Jesus, even if they drink...a lot but dont admit it to themselves and others, when they say they love you but they ignore you..NOOOO!!! STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP!!! Those right there are major red flags. So is a guy that will build you up, fuck you for 15 seconds, then never talk to you...RED FLAGS!!! Just wait man. Just wait for God to bring you someone that will go though life with you. That will hold you when you are hurting. That will confort you when you feel sad. That will love you as God loves you. That will always choose you. No matter what. Because you deserve to be loved. You don't deserve any less. So don't stoop yourself down like I did..just be patient. He's out there. I promise. 20180726

BODIES

I can not explain how beautiful bodies are. I see so many people around me with all different size, shape, color, textures...it blows me away. The fact that people base happiness and self worth through our shells kills me. The very little that our bodies mean to those around us and to the minds of all is very non existant. The ability to our bodies to change with our season in life and the way we treat it is inevitable. Our bodies need to change and be challenged. Its a very natural part of life and it is absolutely beautiful. Our bodies are a temple. Treat them as such. 20180726

Dear Aimee,

Hey Aim!!! Oh my goodness, so much is going on and I wish you where here for it! Well let me just start with the fact that I just spent 10 days in the most beautiful place on earth. Alaska was so awesome. There where so many instances where I would just yell, " I WISH AIMEE WAS HERE!!!" Noelle's wedding was like a fairy tale! So many beautiful light colored flowers, lots of lace, and greenery. The ceremony was beautiful. They set it up so that the arch was parallel with the mountains which made some killer pics. They had speeches and a dance floor which was a blast! Mom came and danced a ton and Grandma Karen got super drunk and started flirting with Grandpa and the bartender and...honestly anyone she could get her hands on. lol it was hilarious. Noelle was beautiful. She had her hair done up in a really pretty curly up do with a little flower cluster in the middle. Her dress was very simple, but gorgeous. Sleeveless, with the top corset section was all beaded and the bottom flowed out with a beautiful train. Her makeup was flawless of course. Daniel was so handsome. He was wearing a dark navy suit and his hair was slicked back. He is so cute. They make a really good looking couple. Aimee...they left in a helicopter!!! They guy owed Uncle Doug a favor. It was so cool!. Ellie, Anna and I went earlier that day to the newly wed’s hotel room to decorate it honeymoon style. We covered the floor, bed, bath tub, table, window sill, etc, in red rose petals. We made a design on the bed that said N + D in the shape of a heart. We bought little candles and lined the bath tub with it. We also left champagne glasses, chocolate and some sparkling cider by the bed. It was so fun! So after the wedding, us girls took about 2 days to recuperate. Then the hiking began. We went on so many hikes it was great. Oh and you would be so proud of me...I jumped in the glacier water!!! It was so flipping cold. I think my heart legitimately stopped beating for about 3 seconds. But I did it. I can check that off my bucket list. lol. We also went to a glacier. It was beautiful. I felt like I was a part of that movie Alaska! Do you remember it?? The one where the dad crashes his plane on the side of a mountain in Alaska then the daughter, that hates him, hikes the mountain to try and find him?? Wow that just unopened a ton of good old memories. We also went shopping and I bought my fist Lulu Lemon item!! I bought some shorts. It was part of my birthday money that mom gave me. I also bought some face wash from The Body Shop, some Fleo workout shorts, a face mask from The Body Shop also, and a Alaska shirt :). I don’t know if you ever went shopping with the girls at all.. it is a whole new experience. Let’s just say that it took me about 20 minutes to buy all that stuff…we where at the mall for 3 and a half hours…oh Lord help me. And you know how much I “love” shopping…(cough sarcasm cough) :) I think my favorite part about Alaska was the morning talks us girls would have every day. We would all wake up at different times, make some tea or coffee, then grab a blanket and sit down in the living room or outside on their patio with the little gas fire and we would all have our bibles and we would just talk about God or fashion or makeup or boys or anything. But we would always talk about God. It was weird when He didn't come up in conversation. God definitely spoke to me through those ladies. I pray every day that you will meet a girl that loves Jesus as much as you do so you can encourage and build each other up. I believe we all need someone to help us as we go through life. Oh girly I really do miss you tons. As I am going day to day here back home, I wish you where here to keep me company. My friends aren't really making any effort to hang out or talk to me, but God is good and I am using this time alone to get closer to Him. I have been running a lot, doing pushups a couple times a day; I’m just trying to not loose my strength at all. It’s not that fun, but I will survive. Don’t cry when you read this, but Daisy misses you. She will sit by the front window and watch for you to come home like she did when you would come home from school It's so cute and so sad. She is going to flip out when you get home. I leave for basic in 1 week. I am so so so excited. I am not that nervous…yet. I really don't think it will be that bad. I just need to keep my head down, and just move forward. I am sure you know what that feels like. I head back to Florida in a couple days to have my last check in at MEPS and to say goodbye to everyone there. I get there on a Friday, my birthday is on Sunday, and I ship out that following Tuesday early morning. So guess what?? I CAN’T DRINK ON MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!! I can't have any traces of alcohol in my system when I show up at MEPS. lol I thought that it was pretty funny. Mom talks about you a lot. I can tell she really misses you and loves you so much. She is so proud of you Aim, and so am I. I love you so much girl! Just remember that you are loved by not only us but by your heavenly father who always knows what's going on. Never forget, "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." -Isaiah 41:10 "God is within her she will not fall." -Psalms 46:5 Keep your head up. God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers. -Pinterest lol I love you so much Aimee. Stay strong. Love God, love others, serve always. All my love, your sista, Katherine 8.21.17

It’s not worth it.

Life can be such a complicated thing. It all goes back to the whole your mind thing that Morgan talked about. There are 7 billion people on this planet and each has a plan they call everyday life. Everyone is different. Why do so many of us try to be like everyone else??? IT’S NOT WORTH IT!!! I have met so many people who try to be like other people. Hell I’ve done it! But if you want to move forward in life, you have to focus more on the things you know are true about yourself. Like me for instance. I know that I love to work out, not for the attention, I feel good breaking a nasty sweat. Or, I like to read. I love to learn. Yes not all my friends like or agree with some of the stuff that I like, but you know what that is not what brings us together. It’s the things we love about eachother that bring us together as people. Back to what i was saying earlier, why does everyone try to be like everyone esle?? Be yourself!! Don’t you love meeting those people that just don’t care? The ones that are so in loe with adventure and so sure in themselves and in their actions? Be the person you want to meet. Be yourself, do things that make you happy and don’t let people hold you back. And that doesn’t only mean for looks, it can be applied to anything in life.

July 23, 2016

It all starts in your mind. It could be anything. The way you want your life to work vs. reality. The uncontrolable act of falling in love with things, places, people around you. the fact that i am drinking a liquid the color of grass and trees back home. Here in the concrete jungle where people are in a rush to get on with their lives it’s different. I feel it is just the absense of my everyday life that gives me this thurst for the unknown. _____________________________________________________________________ I love to read things that are beautiful to say outloud. Janne Robinson showed me that. She made me realize that expressing yourself through the simplest of words can make the biggest change to those that are more simple minded around you. _____________________________________________________________________ Those past couple weeks my mind has been very busy. As soon as I save 3000 bucks, I am moving to Jax Beach FL. I am so excited. For once in my life, I am not running away from something, I am running toward something. It’s exhilerating. It’s like nothing I have ever felt before, and it’s grand. _____________________________________________________________________ Most often I have mixed emotions about things that happen. Most of the time I feel things won’t pop up in my life to change my thoughts and my plans. But I was very mistaken.

WHY!!

What is beauty? Why is my beauty determined by the people around me? Why is it that if I don’t have big lips, big boobs, a big butt, a small waiste, perfect skin, perfect hair, white teeth, perfect makeup, the best clothes, I am not considered beautiful? Or beautiful enough? WHY??? WHY WHY WHY!!! I just hate the fact that that is what the world has convinced this generation that that is what it takes to be “beautiful.” I see on social media that all these girls, that are beautiful, have gone to such lengths to change how they look for a picture. A picture! If you meet these girls in person, you can just see how insecure they are by the way they look around, constantly wondering how they look in the eyes of others. You have a conversation with them and you see how empty they are. How they don’t have a thought of thier own. How they are afraid if they say something wrong or weird, that they will be looked at differently. They want to be looked at in the same way that they look at the other “beautifull” people. With a sense of want. Attention. That’s all it is. They want to be looked at and admired. The sole focus is the shells of all humans. But what about the inside?? What about the kindness we show others? Or the patience and mercy and form of opinion based solely on who we are? What about the love we feel for those around us? What about that stuff? I feel that we all get caught up in the outward shell that we live in, and we forget about us. You. Me. Every aspect that makes up the reasons why we laugh, cry, sing, dance, live, learn, love. We are made of so much more then a pretty face and a good picture.

It hurts honestly.

Everyone on this earth will let you down. It doesn’t matter who. Everyone is capable of it. It doesn’t mean that they will necessarily, but they could. You should never make up your mind that “this person would never” then they do, then you are crushed. Make lots of friends, but don’t hold them to that standard. Please don’t. Anyone, you, me, him, everyone is capable. It hurts honestly, but it’s a hard truth of life. But it’s ok. Meet new people, learn about their stories, let yourself get attatched to people. Don’t let that be a thing that holds you back from meeting and making new friends. It’s just a part of life

happy

This morning I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. I loved what I saw. I have never felt so healthy and strong in my entire life. Not just physically strong, but mentally and spiritually. I have worked so hard on my fitness and my nutritional health and I have seen results. I now have a sence of pride and thankfulness to God for allowing me to be at this point in my life. There are some people that have never been at this point ever. I feel when you look at yourself in the mirror, you never just look, you start to think, criticize, think down on, critique, but not today. I was happy with what I saw. I saw hard work, tlc, stressfree, natural, beautifully made body and heart. I have noticed that I think to much on how others see me, when I need to just realize that the way you see yourself is the way others will see you. So if you see yourself as ugly and pimple faced and fat, others will see what they want to see about you. But if you walk around with confidence and self worth, people will notice that you are different. That you like yourself no matter what. Honestly though it doesn’t matter what you look like. I have had a hard time with this for a long time. I feel like it comes with age though, and just understanding others around you as well as yourself and where you are at in life. If people only like you for how you look, they are not even worth your time. You need to be with people that bring out your weird side. That love you for you and that will be there for you no matter what you look like. One thing that I have noticed so far in this journey of mine, is that if you give yourself time, you will see a defference. Not just in the fitness world, but in everything. It’s crazy that phrase, “just give it time” is so relevent in every aspect of life. But it’s alright. It hit me. I am so freaking young!! I have so many years to do anything I want! Stay healthy! Stay happy!
