Happy hump day! It's Wednesday, and the roads are cleared up from yesterday's craziness. It iced again here, which meant that basically the entire city was shutdown, except it wasn't. Our office delayed opening to 10am, which was super amazing because it meant I was able to sleep in for two extra hours! Yes, please! Then, at 9:00am, I got the call that they were delaying opening for another two hours, so I turned around and headed home. I was pretty disgusted with the fact that they (as in the city in general) waited until the last minute to make a decision on whether businesses and schools would be delayed or even closed for the day. One school in particular literally decided to close for the day like two minutes before classes were to start, and buses had gone out to pick up children - it ultimately led to livid parents and children who were on the bus for hours. Not cool, Austin. Not cool.
Anyway, I'm here today to tell you about my super cool and amazing bloggy friend! Her name is Haley and she blogs over at Truth Be Told! She's a Canadian, and she loves her some snail mail! {which reminds me, I need your address, girl!}
This picture sums up what I think about Haley - she's hilarious, y'all! She's one of my regular commenters, and I always look forward to her quirky and hilarious take on my post for the day. She's also super sweet and encouraging! No matter what I'm going through or facing, she always brightens my day with some quick words of wisdom. She's also a new momma to a gorgeous daughter, Alina. Check out what their names mean, here.
Isn't Alina just precious?! Like mother like daughter, wouldn't you agree? ;) Just look at the resemblance in these two pictures!
Also, Haley's husband is equally hilarious, and I can only imagine that they get into the funniest situations! That's one entertaining couple! Haley does a series on her blog called, Crazy Shit Rob Does! I absolutely love this series and look forward to the things that he gets into! Check out what he's been into recently...here. You won't regret checking it out. Funny, funny stuff.
Haley is also on a mission...yep, Mission Hot Bod. She's attempting {and succeeding} to get back to the best shape of her life, post baby, and she's such an inspiration. She posts weekly updates and thinks no one reads them or cares, but she's wrong! She had a shaky week this past week, but she's doing such an amazing job and I'm pretty proud of her! You go, girl!
So, today, I just wanted to encourage Haley and lift her up. She has a lot going on in her life, and she's doing so well balancing everything! She's truly a refreshing soul and I look forward to continuing getting to know her and her sweet family! Go show them some love, y'all!
Linking up with Casey for CHEERS NOT JEERS.
Today, I'm choosing to spread some positivity in the blog world, and Casey's linkup is just the place to do it! Every Wednesday, this linkup is live, to spread encouragement, hope, and positivity to fellow bloggers!
Today, I want to introduce you to two pretty amazing women that I've met through my blog.
First up is Patty over at A Modern Grace. This girl has a passion for God, crafts, and food, some of my favorite things! She recently shared her growing hatred for shopping malls, and I couldn't agree more! I've loved getting to know this inspiring woman through her blog and look forward to all of the trials and tribulations her and her husband will face with faith this year! She's choosing to focus more this year...check out more about that here. I find that I can always turn to Ms. Patty's blog for encouragement and hope {in humanity}. Go show her some love!
Next up is Karla from Forever Newly Wedded. We've become pretty good blog friends, and I always look forward to catching up on the shenanigans that her and her husband, Scott, get into. This girl loves love. Seriously! And if you're browsing her blog for a picture of just her, stop right now. You won't find one. That's how much she loves her man - he's in every picture, too! She also gets snow, which I'm not so secretly jealous of... sending Karla some warmth from Texas today! She's cold. And wanting hot chocolate. Anyone in CT willing to hook a sista up?! They also have the cutest pup, Tyson. Lifting Karla up today and encouraging her to just be her, because that's who we all love! :) Go show her some love, y'all!
