It’s Tuesday again which means it’s time for the GFC Blog Hop!
I realize the blogging world has gone crazy with Google announcing the close of Google Reader this summer and I know some have worried what this means for GFC so I decided in the next couple of weeks I will be changing this hop to “Friend Connect Hop” Just dropping google 😉 It will be based on making new friends and finding new blogs. You can choose to follow the cohosts in whatever way is best for YOU! Thanks so much for linking up!! -Melissa

Ok, so let’s get to the party, shall we?
RULES are simple:
1. Follow your host 
The First link below
2. Follow your co-hosts 
The Next 7 links below
3. Link up below using your main blog url not a specific post.

I’m Nicole, the lady behind the blog Treasure Tromp. My blog started off as a way to document my attempts at discovering life’s little treasures…… and as a way to distract myself from my PhD program in psychology (don’t tell my professors). When I’m not studying or working on program evaluations, I like to hike and camp around southern California, obsess over hedgehogs, and make a mess in the kitchen.





Rules:

1. Follow both of your hosts via GFC.
(first 2 links below)

2. Follow your co-hosts via GFC
(next two links)

3. Link up your main blog URL, not a specific post.

4. Link back to us by grabbing our button.

5. Tweet, Facebook, and Pin this blog hop. The more you spread the word the more people will link up, and the more success you will have! 






6. Be sure to visit other blogs! Don’t just link up and wait for others to find you. 

Let’s get this party started!!…

I’m linking up with two of my favorite girls again this week for Coffee and Conversation! This week’s topic of discussion: What is the most valuable lesson you have learned this year?

This hits so close to home for me. Through the ups and downs of the last few months, I have really struggled with my faith. One day I will feel so positive and the next day I will hit rock bottom. I haven’t been myself at all and it is definitely effecting the people closest to me. I hate that.

I know that God does not put us through trials we can not handle. Although my faith has been tested, it has also never been stronger than it is right now. God always has a plan. It may not be in your timing, but it always ends up being perfect timing in one way or another.

The lesson I have learned this year is never to let your faith waver. It is okay to lean on God and it is more than worth it to fully trust in Him. That is the only way anyone can truly get through the tough times. I’ve also learned that family is everything. Not that I haven’t known that, but the last couple of months, no one has been there like Ryan, my mom and sister, and my sweet friend, Brittany (who is more like a sister than a friend).

Thank you for reading my rambles! Now on to an exciting group giveaway from my friend, Ashley!

Hi everyone! Today, I wanted to share a few things I’ve been loving lately. Grab a cup of coffee and stay for a while!
This book trilogy by Nora Roberts had me hooked from the beginning.
I’m loving this lip balm.
What southern girl doesn’t love a good plaid shirt?
If you’re trying to get organized, check out this custom planner.
My dream ring.
Ryan and I are addicted to this PBS show.
I hope you have a wonderful Thursday. It’s important to remember tomorrow is Friday! Just keep swimming. 🙂


I haven’t linked up with Michelle in a few weeks so I figured today would be a great day to share some Pinterest loveliness with you!

Happy Wednesday!

My precious friends and fellow Bama girls, Lauren and Kalyn have created a new link-up on Mondays called Coffee and Conversations where we will discuss different topics each week. This week, the topic is what we are thankful for this year.This year I am thankful for so many things.

I am thankful for a loving and forgiving God.

I am thankful for my incredible husband who is always encouraging and has the most positive attitude of anyone I know.

I am thankful that things are more calm now then they were this time last year.

I am thankful that two of our close friends are about to take their vows in marriage and we get to be a part of it.

I am thankful for my family who keeps me laughing and encourages both Ryan and me.

I am thankful for a doctor who prays for me.

I am thankful for my sweet puppy, Pippa, who is always waiting for me with lots of puppy kisses.

I am thankful for Brittany, who has been the most loyal and trusting friend I’ve ever had. I can tell her anything and know that she won’t tell the world. That’s rare. I can always count on her to pray for me during tough times. And I’m thankful for her sweet baby, B, that will arrive in April!

I am thankful for my sister and our Pretty Little Liars dates every Tuesday.

I am thankful for my sweet nephews who are both crawling now.

I am thankful that both of our cars are now paid off!

Finally, I am thankful for you, my readers and followers. I have made so many wonderful friends through this little blog and it has been so wonderful getting to know each of you.

What are you thankful for?
