Of Sushi & Movies

Good morning everyone!  Hope your weekends are just as awesome as mine has been 🙂

Friday night was a fun, late night!  As soon as we got home we both crashed out for a couple of hours.  I guess neither one of us realized we were that tired!  When we woke up we decided to celebrate Pizza Friday with a pie from Pizza Hut.  KLASSY 🙂  It was really good though since we were both really hungry after a couple hours of sleep.  That night we stayed up and watched 3:10 to Yuma, Julie and Julia, and 3 episodes of Law & Order.  Like I said, late night!  (And sorry, no pictures…I figure y’all know what greasy pizza looks like at this point :))

Yesterday we got up and went to take pictures of one of the cutest babies ever, Blake.  He’s the son of some good friends of ours from church, and is just the sweetest little boy!  It’s his 1 year birthday in a couple weeks, so we did some “studio” shots with our massive roll of studio paper and lighting.  (Speaking of photography, you should check out our photography site.  In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, we are totally open to travel, so if you or anyone you know of need a photographer for a wedding/baby/family portrait/event, please let me know!) Anyway, once Blake tired out, we packed up and decided to grab some sushi at a place we hadn’t tried yet.  We started off with some cheesy crab wontons (I think that’s the name?):

I’d never had these before, but they were pretty good!  I mean, it’s hard not to like something deep-fried with creaminess inside, right?

Plus the presentation was so pretty!  Don’t you just love how symmetrical sushi arrangements are?  It’s not a TON of food, but they make it look so gorgeous that it promotes eating slowly and enjoying the meal!

We got a California roll:

A Spicy Tuna roll:

And a Spicy Salmon roll:

I think I had 2 of each and decided to quit.  For some reason I wasn’t feeling good at all, and even though I love sushi and could go fat kid on that whole platter, I just couldn’t eat more than 6 pieces.  It was still really good though!  When we go home we crashed (again) and watched Gladiator, and talked about going to see a movie.  I have been wanting to go to the movie theater for a while, but our weekends have been pretty packed until now.  We decided to go see Clash of the Titans.  Was it good? Let’s just say you should wait til it comes to a Red Box near you.  It was completely lacking in a plot, and although I was surprised at how clean it was sexually, it was just a stupid movie.  Pretty much ruined Greek mythology for me…

…so we also decided to see Date Night.  This was NOT clean, but I felt like it had a good message in the end about dating your spouse and sticking with marriage through the hard times.  At the very least it made up for the horrible first movie!  When we got home we cleaned up the house a bit and then went to bed.  Our dogs think we’re the most boring people in the world…

I am now sipping on a Chocolate Peanut Butter Green Monster and writing this post!

Today we’ve got church, then we’re helping a friend of a friend move, and I’m really hoping that it’s dry enough out to take the dogs for a walk or run through the dog park!  Should be a fun day 🙂

I’m going to steal Caitlin’s idea from the other day and play the lotto game.  If you won the lottery today, what would you do with the money? I would:

  • Buy new cars
  • A condo in the mountains for when we (or any friends or family) want to go skiing, and maybe something near the ocean
  • Stop working and backpack through Europe for a couple of months
  • Do missions work in Africa
  • Help my parents and Nate’s parents pay off their homes/cars
  • Donate a LOT to our church and various charities
  • Spend the time that we’re not working to help others 🙂

Whew!  That was harder than it looked!  Happy Sunday everyone!

    I don’t even like sushi, but those rolls look delish. If I won the lottery… I’d buy a house big enough to finally have some pets, help my family out, donate…and use it towards starting my own business…not sure what kind of business yet 🙂

    Your blog is great! Really great story and lovely writing style! If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do (for myself) is book a trip to Paris for the Summer and go to Le Cordon Bleu for their intensive. Ah, that would be amazing!

    Oooo I loved Date Night!!! But yeah, it had some crude sexual humor. But overall, really funny!

    If I won the lottery..hmmm… I’d pay my parent’s house off for them, give some to charity, take a fun trip, and put the rest in the bank!

    Ahahaha… Pizza Hut is what my mom and dad would always bring home for us after a long grocery shopping trip… Sadly, I didn’t know how fantastic pizza could really be until I moved away to college!

    Mmmm…love wontons! Plus, they’re just fun to say 🙂

    Sounds like a good weekend! Clash of the Titans isn’t really my kind of movie, so yeah…I’ll be staying away from that one 🙂

    Have a lovely Sunday, Heather!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
