Sunday Traditions

I feel like I've already put on the "marriage 15," which is like the freshman 15, but occurs during your first year of marriage instead of first year of college. I know why it happens-as the bride, you spend MONTHS dieting so you'll be able to fit in your dress. Once I slipped it on and heard it zip on my wedding day, I had one thought in my mind {besides the one about being in awe of marrying my best friend that day}: I CAN EAT ANYTHING I WANT!

There are many things my hubby and I have in common-we love Jesus, we love sports {mostly the KY Wildcats}, we love music, and we love food. Towards the end of February, we began one of our first traditions by picking up Jet's pizza on Sunday afternoons on our way home from church as we prepared to watch our beloved Wildcats. You see, Jet's pizza is closer to our church than it is to our house, so we justify it by the "well, since we're already over here" mentality. Now basketball season is over {WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS} but our need for a large deep dish pepperoni pizza has yet to fade. This cannot be good. Not only is swim suit season upon us, but I'll soon be getting to put my wedding dress back on for a "trash the dress" session with our fab photographers {more to come on that later}. Something has to give, besides our waist size so we've designated Sunday as our cheat day and we're getting back to eating healthier throughout the week.

Speaking of our love of Jesus {rough transition, I know}, we just began a new series at our church called "Shaped," focusing on 1 Corinithians 12 and our spiritual gifts. Last week our senior pastor, Jon Weece, spoke about finding your sweet spot. It has really stuck with me this past week.

Have a blessed week.
