I'm back

Okay, so four months is a long time. I've been such a bad blogger, but there's just been a lot going on.
I'm currently on my winter break from Uni, so I finally have had some time to breathe. This fall semester has flown by partly because I've just been so darn busy. 15 credits and two jobs at the Uni has left me very little time for myself and the fun things. School pretty much consumes 70% of my time, the remaining 30% belongs to my husband, the gym, and my yoga practice (the last two have been nonexistent for the past two weeks though).
But good news is that I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel because this spring semester is my
last and then I will be graduating. It's such an exhilarating feeling to know that I'll be receiving my Bachelors degree. It's been a long road.
2014 will be such an amazing year - I can just feel it! Graduation, grad school, new and realistic fitness goals, and so many more endeavors. I'll make a separate post on my new year's resolutions. My husband and I even made some resolutions to do together!
I forgot how much I love to write and I think blogging just gives me the perfect outlet. It allows me to write about the things that I love. I also promise to take more pictures and actually post them.
xoxo, Carly Nicole

On my mind this morning, Pray for Boston

Last night, Chris and I were laying in bed watching CNN, Fox News, and our local news broadcast. We were laying there, trying to wrap our heads around the tragic event that occurred at the Boston Marathon. No matter how many times we watched the reports, interviews, videos, it just didn't increase our understanding, and to be honest, I don't think we will ever be able to fully understand this. Ultimately, we won't be able to fully understand what drives a human(s) to do evil and unfathomable things.
One thing Chris said to me last night, that has certainly resonated, was I'm scared to attend big events like this, what if this could happen here? I find myself fighting it, as if I don't want to agree with how Chris is feeling. On one hand, yes, it makes me scared, nervous, and paranoid, but on the other hand, I can't allow myself to live in fear, to stop living my life because of fearing that evil things will happen.
It's important that I don't allow myself to fear what other people do. There is no control over what other people decide to do, especially random acts of terrorism. That's one thing I need to make myself understand because it's the only thing I can take from the tragedy at the Boston Marathon. Those innocent people were not expecting something like that to happen to them. They were having fun, cheering on their friends and family in the race. They were living their lives, and for a person(s) to want to hurt that and take it away from them is just so awful.
"Starting with ourselves
We'll change the world around us
We will make it more"
Love, Carly Nicole
