marryxawad: Every year I get to share my birthday with my mom. I was born on Mother's Day. Sure, it doesn't always fall perfectly, but we always celebrate together. She's been my greatest gift for sure. I'm thankful for all she does for me and our family. I can't ima
marryxawad: May 2016 to May 2017. A lot can happen in a year. June saw my dad turn 81, with a huge celebration. July took me back to Ecuador on a rogue mission trip, that was simultaneously the scariest and most exciting trip I've ever done. August brought the resurg
marryxawad: Death by chocolate! A throwback to a sweet and simple birthday cake for Treza! Chocolate cake, chocolate filling, and chocolate frosting! A chocolate lovers dream!
marryxawad: What a beautiful name it is....
marryxawad: March 20th 2017. The start of a new adventure. One I wasn't fully prepared for, one I went into apprehensively. It was such a fast whirlwind transition, I didn't have any time to process anything. Sometimes, I think I still haven't processed anything. I s
marryxawad: How do you make an impression on your new coworkers?? How about some chocolate peanut butter cupcakes! Happy Wednesday!!
marryxawad: Not the best picture, but a throw back to a few weeks ago! Lil Lou turned 2! And all she wanted was Curious George. Everything. [which is hard to find in the cake world ha!] So I improvised a little. It's a two layer vanilla cake with a strawberry filling
marryxawad: Catching up again! 17.4. I was excited for this one. I knew I did 16.4 rxed and I knew I could do it again this year. At least I thought. Going into it my goal was to beat last years score. That's it. Just make it to last years score. And I did. I beat my
marryxawad: Allow me to introduce one of our newest flavors! The Peter Cottontail! A super delicious carrot cake with a decadent brown sugar cream cheese frosting! Perfect for spring, summer, fall, winter, anytime really!
marryxawad: Catch up time. 17.3. It feels like forever ago that I did this. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to do it a second time. When I tried the first time, with my shoes on, something felt off. I couldn't do these freaking squats. I know I've taken lots of ti
marryxawad: Yesterday marked the end of an era. A four year era to be exact. I started this job not knowing anything about the drug and alcohol field; but little did I know how much impact this old farm house would have on my life. This has been one of the hardest de
marryxawad: Nearly 14" and counting. This is not exactly what I had in mind for "springing forward"...
marryxawad: 17.2. I had to do this one on a Monday. I was so super sick that Friday morning. I hated so much that I didn't have time to reattempt it. 43 reps total. I was two lunges short of finishing the second 50ft lunge! Gah! For me, the lunges were definitely the
marryxawad: This was my sweet little room for the whole week that I was in Ecuador! I fell in love. It was perfect! My favorite part was the seat in the windowsill that overlooked the courtyard. I got ready every morning with that window open, just listening to peopl
marryxawad: Monday. Nov 28th 2016. 630 am with Bill. The WOD was called "Wonder Woman"... I didn't feel like wonder woman while I was doing it... but I certainly did after. The WOD was a 12 min amrap. 10 power snatches at 65#. 10 wall balls 14kb. And 50 double unders
marryxawad: Before I left Pachillo's house, we had a little Snapchat fun.... haha.
marryxawad: My last night in Ecuador, I had the privilege of spending it with Pachillo's family. What an awesome time we had. Amparito made such a fantastic dinner for us, and we spent a few hours just talking and being family. They are so welcoming, I was blessed to
marryxawad: Starting this today! Challenged by my friend Minee to do it twice a day on top of my normal workouts. Here we go!
