Good Morning! Happy Saturday! I have a lot going on this week but I am excited to share with you that I officially posted my very first YouTube video last night….If you click on the link you will see my week didnt go exactly as I had planned…also please know that I have not had ANY education in video making//editing..this is a work in progress.
Today is the first day of my Love Yourselfie Series and I have chosen two people who I believe have been killin’ it lately. These two women have been working very very hard and I think both of the deserve a major shout out.
First, I am going to start out with my mom.
I know, I know everyone thinks their mom is a rockstar. Hear me out, In February my bad ass mom was promoted to a Vice President at her company. Instead of parading around super proud of herself she decided she wanted to keep it quiet…for months. I totally respect that, but she deserves a ton of recognition. Especially because for the last month she has been working so so so hard. Guys, I am talking alarm ringing at 5am working until 4am the next morning, no days off, no weekends…and somehow there is still a home cooked meal on the table. (Of course Dad and I help, but she is usually cooking on a conference call along side us).
Even though she is constantly on calls and working, she still somehow never misses anything. She would be on calls at lax tournaments, on the 4th of July, at 930pm on Sunday nights but she still is present. She is truly incredible. I watch her do these things everyday and wonder how one single person could be that hardworking. So momma drama, I know we tell you every single day how hard you are working but I think the world deserves to know the type of woman, mother, wife and employee you are. Everything you have in life, you earned through hard work. Thank you to you and Dad for setting that example for the boys and I.
PS: both those amazing pictures were taken by Corinne at Silverbox Creative Studio during our Christmas card photoshoot. Why was the theme ultra glam//poppin’ bottles in the wood? Pat and Colleen celebrated their 25 wedding anniversary and we (Corinne and I) decided it was necessary to do it big.
My next and final nominee for the launch of the Love Yourselfie Series is my friend Alex. I met Alex my very first week of nursing school. It was a Wednesday and we happen to sit a lab table with a group of people who soon became my rocks through it all. What makes Alex so incredible is her sense of humor, twisted and wildly inappropriate, exactly how I like it.
Nursing school is torture for everyone…no one get out alive without a few major breakdowns. Alex had her moments but she pushed through. One day, during our hardest semester, she walked into class and had major Resting Bitch Face. I teased her about it, naturally, because that is our relationship. She told me her stomach was killing her but she stayed the entire three hour lecture…Later that night she was having her appendix removed in emergency surgery. The next week she was back in action (minus carrying her backpack but luckily she has good friends ).
Since graduating nursing school in May she has officially passed her NCLEX so she is an RN!!!! She has been working out and eating right on top of everything else she is doing and I couldn’t be more proud of her! Most days she has her workout in before I do and she is always sending snapchats of her healthy meals (including TPB recipes) Love you Al and I am so proud of you!
I really want you have YOUR friends, family and loved ones featured on Love Yourselfie so write me a love note to thepilatesblonde@gmail.com with a picture of your superstar and you might just see here featured here next Saturday!!
xoxo,
