Relax, Relax, Relax

Sometimes you just need a weekend where you get nothing productive done. This weekend was that one. The theme was relaxation and it was marvelous!

Saturday started out as a gorgeous day, perfectly sunny and no humidity. The weather was still hot so I headed to the beach. It was my first time going since my the fracture in my knee. I left my brace and crutches in the car so they wouldn't get ruined with sand. I make sure to walk really slow and we sat super far back.

Mom and I stayed for a long time so I got halfway through the final book in the Seasons of Grace Series by Beverly Lewis. Once I finished book one I needed to know how the story ended. I hate leaving off on a cliff-hanger.

After having a carb overload at the beach I was craving something healthy for dinner. So Troy and I ate a quick meal at Panera. Of course I got my favorite salad.

He got his usual mac & cheese. But I really just go there for those delicious crunchy chips ;)

Sunday ended up being another gorgeous day so I knew right away I wanted to spend it outside. In the morning I sipped my coffee down at the water. It's very nice to start off the morning with a little downtime instead of worrying about a to-do list.

Dear July,

Dear July,

I hope you bring lots of sunshine for long beach days, warm nights to run out and get the ice cream truck, less mosquitoes since I already have 3 bites on my face (oh so embarrassing), planning and actually booking a trip for next winter for Troy and I to celebrate 8 years of being together (seriously, where has time gone?), that carefree summer spirit, a new job possibly, checking more fun things to do off my summer list, and just fun.

You know that feeling when you're young and out of school for the summer, that the days all mesh into one, time doesn't matter because you're always free, the summer represents all those endless possibilities and I hope my summer has at least some of that feeling.

Friday Favorites

Hiiiiiii! It's Friday! Vacation beginssssssss! Can you tell I'm excited?!

Hope by the time you are reading this I am safe and sound in Denver!

It's no secret I hate flying. So let's recap all my favorite things that happened this week to get my mind off of it. Sound ok? Ok good.

Spending the day at the beach with Wishbone! Sadly, she seems to have hurt her leg the other night. She has been limping and crying so the family is taking her to the vet while I am away. I'm just very worried about her <3333

WIAW-Pancake Love

It's Wednesday already! Eeek, two more days until Colorado :)

With that trip coming up, so many of my nights have been filled with things to take care. So today's version will be What I Ate Wed Monday. Oh boy, do I have some goodies to show you guys!

Let's get right to it shall we?

Breakfast started off super early since I was in a rush to fit my workout in before 8:30. I can't get up any earlier than 6 to workout. How do you 5am workout people do it? As usual I went with my prepped overnight oats.

I'm Quitting Blogging

Just kidding, April Fools! Haha I would miss you all too much!

Anyway, happy Monday! Hope all of you had a wonderful Easter filled with lots of jelly beans ;)
I'm sure most of you are back to work this morning, but my spring break has just begun. That means lots of wild and crazy adventures this week. Totally kidding haha. I am really the farthest thing from a party animal.This week will most likely consist of writing papers and doing some competition menu planning.

Linking up with Katie, let's talk about some marvelous things.

Some scenes from my weekend:

Absolutely gorgeous weather on Saturday. This type of weather makes me just want to read and relax by the water. I'm so lucky to live so close by to the beach. Can't wait for those beach days.
