I'm awesome

After a debate on facebook involving a fellow blogger and her sister not getting medals for their half marathon (which I completely empathize bc I too did not get a medal for my 4th of July race yesterday), someone pointed out that most people don't do much with medals anyway. 


A great 'suggestion' was made at how if they had an Allied medal display to showcase their medals, they would be more excited by each medal earned since it can now be shown off vs. just sitting in a drawer hidden.


I decided to finally break down and get my own medal display since I have 17+ medals earned to date. When I have a few options to choose from, I  have a hard time making decisions, so this is where I need YOUR advice on a design to choose from. 


I'm all about the custom create your own design and was thinking along the lines of this.....      
 


Before you go and think I'm extremely cocky, I would like to explain that I'm a HUGE Barney Stinson fan and I actually do incorporate the word 'awesome' into my daily vocabulary. I like the track shoe attached because track was my passion in high school. So if you like this design, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions since my brother got all the creative genes in the offspring, leaving me with very little. 

If you have a medal display, what does yours say?

The week of Awesome

First the not so awesome part of the week-
I haven't been able to run since New Orleans, so now it's been 8 days since I've last ran. I feel so sluggish and lazy, and don't know how much longer I can go with just resting. I CANNOT wait to see what the orthopedic says about my knee on Wednesday!!

**fingers crossed that its nothing major**

 Now to the more positive side of last week! 

Awesomeness #1 - Finally went back to working 8 hr days vs 10- wasn't dragging by the time I left the office

Awesomeness #2- My mom made me a tutu for Disney's Princess 1/2 next weekend, and it came in the mail! 

Awesomeness #3- Wasn't able to try king cake when in New Orleans, but then work had a Mardis Gras celebration and what did they have... KING CAKE

to be honest, it wasn't that great, but at least I can say I've had it

Awesomeness #4 I won  tickets to the Predators hockey game in the company suite- My first preds game!

 Awesomeness #5- After weeks of searching for a new place to move in March / April, house was finalized! Moving in with 4 other girls, so now I can have my space when I want it, but also the opportunity to socialize when I'm feeling chatty. 

Awesomeness #4-   One of my best friends from college / home, Kory, told me last minute that he was going to stop in Nashville on his way back down to Florida, so after not seeing him for a year (and him getting ready to move to Turkey for 2 years) we were able to hang out Sunday night

Finally got to check out this hookah bar I had been eyeing

So here's hoping to that this week can be equally as awesome, and if not- I leave on Friday for DISNEY WORLD (which will surely blow my mind... I'm a first timer)
