Currently: 3 Years / Altitude Summit SLC

Today Brandon and I are celebrating 3 years together! This picture was one of our firsts together, and will always hold a special place in my heart. The past three years have been absolutely amazing, and I'm so blessed to have such a loving and supportive fiance by my side. I love you Brandon! Happy Anniversary!

Reading: Lots of blogs! I've been trying to get to know some of the fellow bloggers that will also be at Alt Summit. The Alt Summit blog has been fantastic for posts that have to do with conference jitters, wardrobe issues, and has posted links to past attendees blogs, so I have been able to read first hand experiences (this has helped me so much). I have been feeling so inspired and can't wait to get some of my new ideas rolling after the conference.

Listening To: Nothing really...I'm desperate for some new bands/songs to add to my rotation. Any suggestions?

Watching: American Horror Story and What Not to Wear. Total opposites, but American Horror Story has sucked me in and won't let me go. I finished Asylum last night and enjoyed it more than the first season. I loved that Lana was such a strong character, and she kept me on my toes. Next I'll start Breaking Bad, I've been curious about it for some time and want to see what all the hype is about.

Eating/Drinking: Green smoothies, grilled cheese, and chocolate milk. It's all about balance...right?

Getting Excited For: Alt Summit is here! I can't believe that Brandon and I will be on a plane to Salt Lake City by the time you read this! I can't wait to see what this conference will bring, and to meet some of my favorite bloggers. Keep a look out for lots of pictures and some fresh ideas when I get back!

Cheers to a New Year! I hope you all had a safe New Year's Eve and are ready for the clean slate that 2014 will bring. Like almost everyone that I know January is the time for fitness and eating right, some can stick to it but most (me included) fall off before the month is over. Now that I'm done with school and have had more time for myself I've really started to evaluate what makes me happy, and what is good for me.

I've decided that 2014 will be the year of happiness and choices that are good for my heart, body and soul. I started the month by signing up for the 30 Day Green Smoothie Challenge with the ladies of Simple Green Smoothies. I found them because I was searching through the speakers for Alt Summit (which is only 14 days away!!) and fell in love with their web design and mission. Although my first week was sadly filled with spinach tasting smoothies I am happy to say that thanks to Janee at YellowBird Yellow Beard I finally found a smoothie last night that really tastes amazing and has restored my faith in making green smoothies a part of my daily life. Her post was about her everyday fruit smoothie but at the bottom she included a "Green Monster" link. The recipe includes bananas and peanut butter and it's awesome and doesn't taste green at all!
 

I hope you try and enjoy the smoothie. I can't believe how much I love it and hope I can find more green smoothies that don't taste green!
