Y’all, naming posts is hard sometimes. Life was thumbs up this weekend, so there ya go 
And of course, I’ve gotta link up with the beautiful Katie to tell you alllll about it.
Marvelous is… YOU ALL. I am seriously blown away by the amazing comments from you all when I spilled the beans about being a part of the 2014 Live Longer & Stronger Challenge. Continuing to feel so lucky (and so loved!) Y’all are fantastic. <3 #bighugs
Marvelous is… my family, and lotsa quality family time this weekend! My super smart cousin (Hi Ellie!) graduated from high school & got early acceptance months ago to BU. I’m so happy for her! Plus, I got to see the famsquad at at her graduation party this weekend, and snapped a picture.

Aren’t they beautiful?! Yes, we’re related (our family all together is seriously so funny!) yes, I’m a shortie, and YES, I’m way older than them. #whattheheck
Plus, my other cousins are in town this whole week, and then I’m traveling back with them for the entire weekend for a (much needed) break from PA. SO excited!
Marvelous is… spending time with good friends this weekend. Not only did I get some family time, but I got to see two of my oldest friends this weekend (Hi Emily & Dani!) and my grad school bestie, AllieCat. 
Marvelous is… speaking of grad school, being on BREAK! These two weeks always go by SO stinkin’ fast, but I’m so happy for a bit of a break before the new terms starts. AND, Allison and I figured out at breakfast (after grilling the waitress about how they get the nutella INSIDE the pancakes #mindblown) that we only have two terms last of classes. YES.
Marvelous is… my triumphant return to the gym! I’m facing my fears, getting back into physical activity, and knowing that the work I’ve put in at PT is helping. ALSO, I’m running tonight (which I’ve been cleared to do for, oh like a month, but I’ve been too scared) AND I finally have a PT graduation date of 2-3 weeks. #highfiveeee
The return of the gym selfie! It’s okay to be scurrred about how tough I look
What’s marvelous in YOUR Monday, friends? Make it a great one! <3
