The Challenge: 100 Happy Days

I am SO excited for today! Even though it's a Saturday, and I could have slept in, my body was WIDE awake at 6:18 a.m. After a morning run and strength training workout, a few loads of laundry, cleaning the house, grading Huck Finn essay tests, and making breakfast, it's only 10:26! Why am I so excited?

Because today is my Bachelorette Party! 

I've been waiting for forever to celebrate our upcoming marriage (two more weeks!!!) with my friends. And my bridesmaids have gone ABOVE and BEYOND for today, planning a lunch, a full day of winery tours in Southwest Michigan, and an amazing dinner tonight in downtown South Bend! I can't wait to spend a day with the ladies I love! 

There are so many thoughts swimming in my head all the time lately, and more often than not, I can feel all the anxiety of this time in my life in my stomach. I'm constantly on the go! And it all gets a little bit overwhelming! 

I've seen many of my friends on Facebook starting to get involved in the 100 Happy Days Challenge which you can read about here. The premise is super simple: Can you be happy for 100 days in a row? And because I have fourteen seconds to stop moving this morning, I've decided to take the challenge too! There is just FAR too much negativity out there, and since I want this to be the happiest time in my life, I'm embarking on the challenge (as of today!)! I would love it if you would join me. 

My #100HappyDays pictures will be posted to Twitter, and I'm also going to attempt to post them on the blog weekly. 

Today's picture actually comes from two days ago. But, since I'm marrying the man in two weeks, I decided it gets to count today too! 

Thank you, Janet, for our new favorite shirts! #100HappyDays
