Birthday and the Super Bowl™!

Did you watch the Super Bowl™? I did, sorta.  

The Super Bowl™ is not a big deal in our house unless there is a team that we are really rooting for.  This year just so happens to be one of those years where we are indifferent to who wins.  But congratulations to the Ravens for their Big Win!

Sunday started out with Janna and I heading to the gym to do our fit test and workout for Tina's Best Body Boot Camp.  At the beginning of Boot Camp, we were supposed to do a fitness test that gives you a general starting point for your physical ability.  You are also supposed to take some basic measurements to see if there are any changes.

I am proud to report that I have lost 2" in my waist at the belly button, lost 1" in my hip area and have gained 1/2" in my bicep and 1/2" in my thigh.  I also shaved 20 seconds off of my mile run and am able to hold a wall sit and plank for about 20 seconds longer than before.  It is so rewarding to know that I have tangible progress! 

After my much needed workout with Janna, Justin and I headed up to his sister's house to celebrate Little Man's 3rd Birthday.

He was so excited to open his gifts and eat his cake.  I love spending time with both J.P. and McKenna because they both bring me so much joy.  It is amazing to watch them grow and change.  Plus, there are always great hugs to be had when we see them.

After J.P.'s party, we headed home to relax and watch the Super Bowl™.  I say watch because we did not watch the entire game but caught bits and pieces of it.  Reggie stopped by to hang out and catch up since we had not hung out in a few weeks.  When Reggie got there, he found a comfy seat on the couch, which just so happened to be where Frye was sleeping.  I would say Frye was not too happy about it.

Honestly, Frye is just yawning and I just had really good timing, but it seriously looks like Frye is yelling at him.  Too funny!

Question of the Day:

Who were you rooting for?

What is your favorite Super Bowl™ snack?

Gun Range Adventures

Can I just point out how cold it is right now? It is 18° here right now and it feels much colder than that.  Luckily, the snow is falling and the ground is pretty and white so that makes up for the awfully cold weather.

Who here likes to read? I know I do! I have been in the market for a good read for a little while, but have not had the time to actually pick up a book and read.  Last week, I put in a Hold request at my local library to get a copy of The Happiness Project.

I've read about two chapters of the book and so far am really enjoying reading it! Once I get it finished, I will make sure to share my review with you all.

Saturday, Justin and I joined Da Jones' to celebrate Kelsey's birthday.  Justin and Kelsey are about 2 weeks apart and it's always fun to see them hang out.  Kelsey's choice of birthday celebration was to head out to the gun range and test out his new gun.  Of course Justin and I were super excited when Sarah invited us along on the adventure.  Especially since Justin could bring his gun along and I could fire it for the first time.

Everyone got to shoot a few different guns since Justin, Kelsey and Mr. Jones all brought guns with them to shoot.  We also were able to shoot moving targets with a Glock.  I am not a fan of the Glock because the higher caliber makes the gun "kick" back more.  I tend to favor a .22 caliber because it is not so rough on the hands.

After we went to the gun range, we headed out to The Sardine Room in Plymouth, MI.  I had never heard about this restaurant before, so I was excited for a new adventure at a new restaurant.

The food was so good I forgot to take pictures! We tried fish off the bone, wagyu sirloin, sweet potato pancake with curried rabbit, house made gnocci, and the braised lamb leg.  I can honestly say that I tried a wider variety of food at this restaurant than I have in probably a year, maybe two.  It is always exciting to try something different at a new restaurant! If you're ever in the area and are looking for a good restaurant, I would definitely check this place out!

Question of the Day:

What is one food you've tried that you never imagined you would like?

Mine? Rabbit.  It was pretty tasty.

Warm Bodies

Good Morning Everyone! I trust that you had a wonderful weekend and were able to everything you had planned!

Our weekend was filled with fun times and lots of adventures.  Friday evening Justin and I headed out to run a few errands and grab a bite to eat.  We decided last month that we will plan at least one date night a month where we go out just the two of us.  Our date night was actually a few weeks back, but we decided it would be fun to grab a bite to eat together while we were out and about.

Our Friday evening plans consisted of a movie night with a group of our friends.  Have you heard about the movie, Warm Bodies? If not, I've attached the trailer for you to watch when you have a minute! 

Justin and I saw the previews for this movie and instantly knew it was something we would want to go see.  So we picked a time and gathered a group of people to go! Sarah was not quite expecting her picture to be taken, haha.

I was a bit nervous that all of the funny parts of the movie would be in the trailer, but I am excited to say, they were not! All six of us laughed throughout the entire movie and it received positive reviews from each person.  It is not all that often we ALL like the movie.  If you are looking for a lighthearted, funny, suspenseful movie, then this should be your next pick!
