The Ornament Exchange

A few days ago I mentioned that I would be attending my first ornament exchange. My mom and I purchased ornaments together at Hallmark on Thursday and the exchange was on Saturday at our church.


Saturday morning I did a 13 mile run (BRRRR) and wrapped my ornament (jk I made my mom wrap it because I stink at wrapping gifts).

My mom and I arrived at the church around noon and it was decorated so beautifully! We sang Christmas songs, had a Bible study, ate delicious food, and picked a number from a hat to get our ornament.

We had chicken salad on croissants, beef vegetable soup (above), chili, and cake + cookies.

This is the lovely ornament I received:“Be still and know that I am God” —> PERFECT for me.

Overall, it was a really fun experience and I can’t wait to go to the ornament exchange next year!

What have you been up to this weekend?! 

A day in my life

Anytime someone posts about “a day in my life” I always love reading it. I am generally interested in other people’s lives and activities! (Or by Pittsburgh standards I am “nebby”) I figured it would be fun to post my own!

Here is a typical Wednesday for me!

5:15AM– Wake up and eat a bowl of cereal + cup of coffee

My hair generally looks something like one of these pictures…

5:35AM – Drive to local gym

8:00AM – 10:30AM Eat an apple with peanut butter, have more coffee, and a protein shake. Read my Bible, pack my lunch for school and pack up my school stuff or finish last minute studying.
