Well, to all of you who are reading this all I can say is thank you and welcome to my brand new blog! I am so excited to be starting this new chapter in my life and to invite you all along with me.

I am 22-years old and a newlywed! My wonderful husband and I just got married. I know..we’re young..when you know you just know. Ya know?

That’s me on the wedding day, complete with the essentials: DD iced coffee, mimosa, H2O, Bagel, Big Sexy Hair. Check.

I have always been interested in nutrition but haven’t really seriously pursued it until I got married. I didn’t really go on the LGN diet (that would be the Look Good Naked diet..yes I went there.) and I quickly gained 5 pounds even while working out! I realized that I had to start paying attention to what I was putting into my body. I found some healthy living blogs and I was completely inspired to change my bad habits. I have already experienced an amazing change in my energy, attitude, and overall opinion of myself. I’m not out to lose a whole bunch of weight, I want to get healthy. I would love to be in better shape and that will come with time. But for now..I am trying to ignore numbers on a scale and make my number one goal to take care of myself and learn new, healthier habits each and everyday.

Here’s a list of the loves in my life:

• Running
• Food
• Wine
• Yoga
• Music
• Writing
• Cold Weather
• Four Seasons
• Pumpkin….anything..
• Cinnamon
• Dreaming (Seriously..I’m a dreamer
• Pomegranate..anything..
• Greek Yogurt
• Sunsets
• Cold Weather..(it deserved two shout-outs)
• Sweet potatoes..holy oh-my-yumm-o! Yes..I said all of those..because they are an absolute FAVE! Mmm mmm GOOD. Okay….moment over..
• Concerts, Shows, Whatever you’d like to call them..

Oh man..lot’s of things and too many to list..I may make it my goal to add to that list daily. It’s all about the little things in life..

Music is the other love in my life..besides the ever-handsome hubs.

I love to write and sing..hopefully one day I will learn guitar/piano..all of the above..music makes me happy..

I have to mention that the number one love in my life is my relationship with God.My life has been radically and amazingly changed over the last few years and He is the reason why.

The name of my blog is from one of my favorite bible verses..

“How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation..”- Isaiah 52:7

I also named my blog “These Beautiful Feet” because I notice so many people are grossed out by feet. They think they are nasty, and won’t let anyone’s get within 10 feet of them and okay yes I understand that. I know what you are thinking..you named your blog after that because..?  Because feet are also super underrated..they move you, they are vital to running, to yoga, to get from place to place. They help me get out of bed in the morning..I am sure those who can’t use theirs would kill for your beautiful feet. I feel that it represents how people see themselves. I often feel down on myself and underrate myself but really I am beautiful from my head down to my feet. So are you, you *ARE* beautiful..(the last paragraph inspired my Operation Beautiful submission..will post it later!)

Running was on that list..I have been running on and off for the last few years but stopped for a while. I’m now back and ready for more. I ran my first 5k almost a month ago..

This is a picture of my friend Joy and I right before the start:

Yay Miracle Miles and my 35:14 time! I didn’t have a watch so I am not sure of exactly how I did. That’s the first thing I need to invest in. I can’t wait for my next race, the Outback Distance Classic in Jacksonville on Thanksgiving day. I roped my mom, sister, and aunt into doing it with me.

I am currently finishing up my elementary education degree teaching first grade and it’s great but exhausting! I just can’t wait to graduate in December and figure out what to do with my life. Work? Grad school? Pursue other dreams? We’ll see.

It’s hard to not write a novel when trying to talk about who you are and what you like. So I think I will let my blog speak for itself. I hope you keep reading and follow me as I continue my journey!

See you in a bit!
