No Place I'd Rather Be

I'm currently sitting here and the song 'Rather Be' comes on by Clean Bandit. I've never listened to the words of the song (or any song hence the reason I always get them wrong when I try to sing the song)...but this phrase stuck to me...'No Place I'd Rather Be'.

It's true...there is no other place I would rather be in my life than where I am today.

As of today and each day forward...

I'm a Believer.

I'm a Wife to this incredible man with the most patience of anyone I know.

I'm a Mother to the funniest, loving lil' man in the world.

I'm a Daughter!

I'm a Sister!

I'm a Friend!

I'm a CPA!

I'm weird, crazy, hard working, frugal, funny, etc.

There are many words that can define me buy so many different people. 

On this day 3 years ago...a new chapter in life began and it's the chapter that I never want to end. Having Tate by my side for all these memories, blessing and life moments is truly a gift. 

There really is no place I'd rather be!


Happy 3 years babe...cheers to many many more!

XOXO,

Change

Something big in our household changed last month (OMG...it's July already).

Not only did our lil' man turn ONE (more on that at a later day)...but Tate got a new job!

Up until last month, Tate worked the same job since he graduated college. He loved it. He loved his clients, the people he worked with and he loved changing peoples lives.

After 7+ years, he realized it was time for a change if he wanted to continue to be challenged and to better himself in the fitness industry. He started just looking and sent out a few resumes to see if anything was worth leaving his great job for.

He had many interviews and at the end of it all, only 2 stuck out that he thought were fit for him. One of the options was one he actually didn't even want to interview with thinking he wouldn't like it. Well, their was a reason he went to the that interview because that is the job he ended up taking. It's funny how that works out.

It was very hard leaving his job. Not only would it be a big change for him, but for us as a family since Turner's daycare was by Tate's work and also a big change for everyone that Tate worked with on a daily basis, co-workers and clients alike. The words spoken of Tate by his coworkers and clients before he left made me the proudest wife ever. But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Bigger and better things were in store for Tate. Those bigger and better things led us to Title Boxing.


Tate is now the General Manager of a brand new gym opening in the Lakeville/Apple Valley Area. The gym is called 'Title Boxing Club'. Here is a lil' blurb from their website!

'A fitness club with a punch. TITLE Boxing Clubs offer explosive total body boxing and kickboxing fitness workouts to help women and men burn up to 1,000 calories per hour in each group class. If you are looking for a fitness club that offers effective group exercise classes and personal training, TITLE Boxing Club is the fitness club for you.'

Tate is BEYOND excited about this opportunity. We prayed for God to guide us when making this decision. Title Boxing is where he lead us.

The gym opens this Monday, July 7th. Tate's been working his hardest to get everything in order and getting many members signed up before they even open. I love hearing him tell me everyday how many more members he signed up. The excitement in his voice puts a big smile on my face and reassures me that we made the right decision.

Some photos of the gym that Tate will be managing!

What's even more exciting is that this is just one of three clubs that will be opening. Tate's boss actually bought 3 clubs and the other 2 will open in the next few years.

Grand opening is July 10th from 11am - 12pm. For anyone interested (in the local area), your first class is free. Go ahead an check it out. I can't wait to take a class.

Like their FB page and follow them on Twitter

I'm hoping in the near future to have them host a MN Blogger Event!!! How fun would that be to get a great workout in while hanging out with some of the greatest ladies?!?

It's the big LOVE day!!!


And Turner's pretty dang excited about it...

and if he's excited...the WHOLE house is excited because this little person has everyone wrapped around his tiny little fingers and we all don't mind!

I ALWAYS tell Tate to NOT buy me flowers for Valentines Day. I'm actually not really a flower/plant type of person. I just can't enjoy them because I know they will die. I'm frugal and would be annoyed he spent so much money on flowers that will die than enjoy them! We usually exchange cards and have a nice dinner @ home. He has bought me flowers in prior years for Valentines Day...but they were grocery store flowers, which is totally OK with me because they were priced just right and lived just as long as the people that received flowers that were triple the cost of mine!

Earlier this week I went searching for a special and nice card for him and found a few I liked. I then looked @ back @ the price (because that is what frugal people do) and they were all over $7 ($6.99 to be exact). $7 FOR A DANG CARD!! I can get 2 different 1/2 price appetizers at Applebee's for that much (Applebee's did not pay me to say that & I honestly don't remember the last time we went to Applebee's to enjoy those appetizers...probably when I was pregnant, now I am hungry)!

So I left without a card because I can't spend that much on a card that he will read and throw in a drawer to collect dust for a few years. So I called him and told him that he shouldn't buy me a card either because they are outrageously priced. I mentioned that we should instead just write love notes to each other. That way it's our own words and meaningful and it doesn't cost a damn penny. So now I need to actually write mine...It's all in my head, just need to put in on paper!

So there you have it...another aspect of my life I am trying to control, what my husband does for me for Valentines Day. He actually has free reign to do whatever he wants for me...but he knows I'm an obsessive frugal freak, so I know that no matter what he does...he will ALWAYS get it right! I just had to tell him about that card thing because he knows I love to get cards...but I am not all about spending that much on a card! So now I guess I am more a 'handwritten love note' kind of person!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!
