Day 1 - Thursday, August 6 2015

8/6/2015

So I was a little bad today, and got up at....

....Teehee, however, I can justify due to going to bed at 4:00 in the morning, working on this blog lol ;) Being an Instructional Aide at a school allows me the freedom of different time frames due to being off in the Summertime (Whoop, whoop!).

*Side Note: Isn't that a beautiful horse picture?! ;)*

Once I was up, I did my exercise. Today, I walked on the tread mill for a mile to Group 1 Crew

By the time I finished my exercise and a shower, it was pretty much lunch time. Since I missed breakfast, I decided on a breakfast/lunch menu for today, which included a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some milk. ;)
(The jelly was homemade raspberry jelly that my Grandma made, and it was so yummmmyyy!)

While eating my breakfast/lunch mixture, I did my Bible study and devotional. Today, my Bible study was on Genesis 18; Job 23; and Psalm 14.

(Please go to "Personal Insights" to find an extra blog post about Psalm 14).

My devotional out of the "Devotions for the God Girl" book today was:

Verse at the top: "The Lord causes poverty and grants wealth. He humbles people; he also promotes them." -1 Samuel 2:7

-------------------------------------------------------

After some God time, I went outside on our deck to work on this blog and to create a Facebook page designated for "The Baker's Journey" blog. So, be sure to "like" our blog on Facebook! :)

Once I got done working on Facebook, it was time to make a Walmart trip. Walmart is our go-to store for just about anything.

Good ole Walmart ;)

While I was at Walmart, I came across these two awesome cups which made me happy :)

One for me...and one for the Hubby :)

Since I was only going to Walmart, I just wore some comfy clothes, and the reason I'm telling you this minor detail is because I wanted to show you the shirt I wore........it's my SKYDIVING shirt!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------
*Side Note: For my high school graduation, my aunt gave me the most amazing gift...skydiving! And, to top that awesomeness, my best friend, Ashley went with me!! It was incredible!*

My best friend, Ashley and me

Getting ready to go up

Me about to JUMP!!

1 minute of free fall

Woooohoooo!!

Coming back down!

We all made it back safely :)

-------------------------------------------------------

Now, back to the journal..........

Coming home from Walmart, I encountered a slow-moving tractor ahead of me on a back country road.

Although it is frustrating either way, I'd much rather be in a "tractor-jam" on a back road than a "traffic-jam" on the interstate!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I got home, I quickly unloaded so that I could go visit my Grandma, Cousin Charlotte, and Baby Cousin, CJ! :)

Such a happy little cutie! :)

He's a smart little cutie, too! He was sure focusing on those cups haha

Yummy ;) haha

I just love all of his faces!

...And, I LOVE him!! :)

It was hard to say good-bye, but afterwards, I went to surprise my best friend's (Ashley) mother with a little "thinking of her" gift as she is working hard to do final planning and preparation for Ashley's Big Day!!

-------------------------------------------------------

Oh and by the way, today's choice of music while on the road was.....

Yay!! :D ;)

While shuffling through Luke Bryan's Playlist on Spotify, I came across these two particular songs:

The first song, "The Car in Front of Me" actually made me start to tear up haha, especially towards the end of the song (click on this link to hear the song: https://play.spotify.com/track/2D5PdRwBfA60PwTlM3J1vp )

The second song, "Chuggin' Along", I thought had a really good message to it. (Here is the song:
