Weekend Highs & Lows #50

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and exciting adventures  


Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! How many of you have today off of work? I will be working, but have the blessing of getting to work at home.  In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. here is a quote that I found inspiring from him.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

Saturday was another low-key day for Justin and I - we slept in, had cereal and basically spent the rest of the day at home relaxing with the except of when he went out to the driving range with his dad and ran a few errands.  

Sunday was the big birthday party for Justin! We spent the morning lounging around then made our way to The Hub Stadium.  It was rather chaotic when we got there, but everything seemed to work out by the end of the event.

After two hours of "Bomb Bowling" we made our way back to our house to have cake and ice cream.  Then the evening ended watching YouTube Videos and falling asleep on the living room floor.  Nothing too exciting, but it was wonderful how many people came to celebrate Justin's birthday.  We feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many awesome people. 


Lows:
The mix up at The Hub Stadium was rather disappointing.  While they handled everything like champs, I just felt generally like they were disorganized and a little unprofessional

Weekend Highs & Lows #49

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and exciting adventures  


Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had a rather low-key weekend which was a great way to start the first week of the year! 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

On Saturday, Justin and I slept in and enjoyed a relaxing morning with breakfast in bed.  The morning was spent doing laundry and cleaning the house.  In the afternoon, my mom and I went to a local Vintage Market to check out what fun things they have on sale.  While I was there, I got a few good ideas for things I could use around my house.  I love going to vintage markets or other types of places that have some creative ideas for decorating our house.  Aren't these so cute? 




Sunday Justin woke up with a massive migraine, so we spend the morning relaxing in bed.  For the afternoon, we started taking down our Christmas decorations.  Of course, it is taking a little longer than normal since I've been going through all of our stuff and getting rid of things we no longer need.  One of my biggest goals this year is to purge anything and everything we no longer need and what better place to start than our Christmas decorations? So we gathered all of them together and started going through them.  The plan is to get the rest finished by the end of the week.



Sunday evening we spent time playing Mario Party 10 on the WiiU with Nick and Kevin and I ended the weekend watching the Golden Globes.  Did you watch? 



Lows:
Honestly, I was sad to take the tree down this weekend.  I love having a tree and all of the Christmas decorations around.  But alas, it is January 9th and we really needed to take our tree down.

Weekend Highs & Lows #48

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and exciting adventures  


Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We spent some lovely time with friends and family getting ready for the holidays! 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

On Saturday, I had a Thirty-One party with my mom at her house! It was only my second party and it was so much fun! After her party, the girls came over for Friendsmas! We exchanged gifts, enjoyed homemade hot cocoa and played Mario Party on the Wii U! It was such a fun and relaxing evening. 

{If you need a good idea for a kid or adult, the Wii U provides hours of entertainment for children of all ages.}



Sunday morning we got up and went to go pick out our Christmas tree! I love this tradition with Justin's family - we get up early the first Sunday in December and make our way to pick out our own Christmas trees.  This year was so exciting for us because this is the first year we will have a tree in our house! Of course, that meant the tree needed to be huge - but not too big for the space.  


Everyone picked out their trees and we made our way back to Justin's parent's house for lunch and hanging out.  Another fun year with Justin's family picking out trees.  


Lows:
Justin has been a bit under the weather and did not feel well all day Sunday.  I felt bad for him.

Weekend Highs & Lows #48

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and exciting adventures  


Happy Tuesday friends! Sorry I missed a post yesterday! I was flying home from California after running the Disneyland 10k & 1/2 Marathon.  This weekend was crazy busy, but it was so much fun! 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

I spend the entire weekend in California and I ran a 10k and a 1/2 marathon! This weekend was so much fun and I am so glad that I went.

On Thursday we flew into California and made our way to Malibu for lunch.  It was so nice to just sit by the ocean and enjoy some fresh fish.  After lunch, we made our way back to the house before running to the grocery store for food for the house.

Friday morning, Christina and I made our way to the LuLaRoe Factory to check out how they do their shipping and to see how they run their business.  It was so cool to see how they run everything and have someone show us how things are done.

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early and made our way to Disneyland for the 10k race! It was a super early wake up call, but we all finished the race in good time and enjoyed seeing the park and all of the crowds cheering us on.


For the afternoon, we went out to Huntington Beach so that we could stick our feet in the water and enjoy a lovely sunset.  I have never been to the Atlantic Ocean, so it was pretty awesome to just stick my feet in the water and it felt really great - almost healing for my sore feet.  


Sunday, we had another 3:00 a.m. wake up call to head out for our half-marathon.  This 1/2 was a little more difficult for me because after about half way the heat started to get to me and my lungs (and body in general) started giving out from the lack of water and the heat.

I am excited to say that I managed to finish the 1/2 marathon 22 minutes faster than the last race I did.  This makes me happy because it is my last 1/2 marathon for a little while due to time and the physical strain on my body.


Here are all of my metals! In order from left to right: Doctor Strange 10k, Avengers 1/2 Marathon, Infinity Gauntlet Challenge and Coast to Coast.  Aren't they neat? Now to find a way to display them!

Monday we made our way home and I crashed as soon as I got home.


Lows:
My asthma got the best of me and I am having a hard time recovering from the strain on my lungs.

Weekend Highs & Lows #47

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and exciting adventures  


How is it Monday already!? It is so hard to believe that we are already into the beginning of the holiday season! Have you started shopping for the holidays? I actually got a little of a head start and have checked a few people off of my list for this year! It feels good to get some people done so I know I will not have to worry about it later.  Now to start wrapping the gifts.....

This weekend was filled with some fun and exciting things! I cannot wait to share them all with you!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

Friday night Justin and I made plans with Nick & Kevin to go do dinner and a movie.  We were going out to celebrate Kevin's birthday a little early (his birthday is the 14th) because Kevin is highly involved in the election and will be going home to count votes for tomorrow's election.  For dinner we went to Ram' Horn and of course I had breakfast because their breakfast is just so good.  After dinner, we made out way to the movies to see Doctor Strange.  From what I saw of the movie, I really enjoyed.  Unfortunately, with about 30 or so minutes left in the movie the theater lost power.  So we did not get to see the end of the movie.  Thankfully Emagine gave us passes to see the movie at a later date (though I am really not sure when that will happen).  After leaving the movies a little earlier than anticipate, we headed back to our house to play some video games and just hang out - oh and give Kevin his birthday gifts!

Justin and I got Kevin a Supreme Court Case Mug from the Unemployed Philosophers Guild.  The cool thing is the losing case disappears as the mug heats up.  Kevin had so much fun looking at all of the different cases and educating us on some of them.  I am glad he liked it because we were not 100% sure he would.




On Saturday, I had my first ever Thirty-One Launch Party! I have been debating selling Thirty-One for easily four years and decided to just take the leap and see what happens.  If you do not know what Thirty-One is, I am sure you have seen at least one of their bags or products.  Known for their bags, Thirty-One has been empowering women to build their own business while also prioritizing their families.  And it is these foundational beliefs that drew me into Thirty-One.  If you want to learn more about Thirty-One or just take a look at the products, check out my webpage!

Saturday evening Justin and I grabbed dinner with his parents before spending the evening at home getting some chores done and hanging out.  

Sunday morning we made our way to the Snowmobile Show for the 5th year (I think) in a row! I managed to pick up a super cute sweatshirt and a trucker hat while we were there {both of which I am wearing now haha}.  Justin also picked up a hoodie from Ski Doo.  I love my new sweatshirt and plan to wear it forever as often as possible.  Sunday afternoon we spent at home relaxing which is exactly what I needed.


Lows:

Generally not feeling that awesome yesterday.  I am not sure if it was a migraine or what.

Weekend Highs & Lows #46

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and exciting adventures  



Happy Halloween Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and were able to enjoy some costumes and parties with friends! 



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

On Friday night, Justin went out to The Melting Pot to celebrate our 5th Anniversary! It is so crazy to think that we have been married for five years and together a grand total of 12.  Dinner on Friday was so nice because Justin surprised me with rose petals and a bouquet of roses at the table when we arrived.



The evening ended with us watching 27 Dresses and passing out because we had so much food we were in a food coma.

Saturday started with us running to check on my cousin's dog because she had her baby! We were hoping he would be born on our anniversary, but he made his grand arrival on Saturday around four in the morning.  In the afternoon, we went to Justin's cousin Wesley's house for cake and ice cream to celebrate Wesley's birthday before rushing home to partake in the Halloween "Boo" trail and party for the kids in our neighborhood.


Saturday evening, we tried a cooking class at Sur La Table and it was so much fun!  We made some delicious steak, salad, sqush au gratin and dessert.  I am excited to try the Au Gratin Recipe for Thanksgiving in a few weeks! It was so good! 


Sunday in the morning we made our way out to Best Buy so Justin could pick up his Anniversary gift (it was back ordered otherwise he would have received it on Friday).  After Best Buy we made our way to Target to pick up a few things and grab a gift for my cousin's baby as we had planned to go visit them at the hospital.  I also picked up a dress for Thanksgiving! I am in love with this dress from Target.  

After the hospital, we made our way home and spent the rest of the day hanging out at home and playing video games with some of our best friends.  Overall, it was a great weekend!


Lows:

I did zero chores all weekend and I feel a little overwhelmed by all of the things I have to get done by this Saturday!

Weekend Highs & Lows #45



Happy Monday Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! This weekend was a bit chaotic for us, but we had a wonderful time enjoying the cooler weather and some awesome people!

Sorry I disappeared for a week! It has been a little crazy lately between work and all of the things we've had happening.  I promise I will jump back on the bandwagon and share some fun content with you all.  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

On Friday night we finished painting our dining room! Once we get the table in the room, I will be sure to show the whole thing, but in the mean time, here is a sneak peek of the changes that we made to the room:


What do you think? So far I am loving it, but we have a ways to go before we are finished with the room.

Saturday morning I got up to go for a quick run before getting the house ready for Sarah's going away party! We had a fun evening spent with fun Halloween costumes, good company and general relaxation.  I love getting together with some friends to celebrate a major life event! Sarah leaves for Bali in two weeks for one year or more! We are so excited to see where this journey takes her.





Sunday was spent sleeping in, a "long' run, cleaning and doing some chores.  Of course, I also had a few in-home parties to go to in the evening and spend some time getting some Christmas ideas for family and friends.


Lows:

Haven't been feeling the greatest lately.  Hopefully whatever it is will go away and I can start getting back to normal.

Happy Monday Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! This weekend was a bit chaotic for us, but we had a wonderful time! 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

This weekend was so much fun! On Friday we had someone come out to give us a quote for blinds.  It was great to pick out all of the different colors and swatches.  Now to see how much they will cost us... I think we will be a little surprised by the cost.

On Saturday, my mom and I transplanted some flowers from her house to mine so we could finally start working on the landscaping in the front of the house.  We only managed to get five plants over, but it already adds a little something to the front of the house without being too much.

Saturday evening my niece and nephew came over to hang out for a few hours while Justin's family went to a wedding.  We did some crafts, painted some artwork and made brownies together! It was a blast hanging out with the kids and just enjoying their company.

On Sunday, we went Apple Picking for the 4th year in a row and it was so much fun! It was a chilly day so it was perfect for apple picking! We ended the day with sushi and TV with Nick and Kevin.  I will do a bigger post about apple picking tomorrow, but here is a photo of the group.




Lows:

Honestly, this weekend was so much fun! We had a great time with family and friends and I am grateful for how much fun we had.

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and exciting adventures  



Happy Monday Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! This weekend was a bit chaotic for us, but we had a wonderful time! 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Highs:

This weekend was so much fun! On Friday night, Justin and I went to dinner at a new brewery with my cousins.  It was so much fun to try out a new place to eat and enjoy some wonderful company.  Have you had a Moscow mule? Yes? Have you had one with apples and cinnamon? Oh my goodness, so delicious.

Saturday morning, we attempted to sleep in but the construction guys arrived early to work on the house next door.  While I appreciate they have a deadline, it really is not great waking up before 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.  Saturday afternoon, Justin and I made our way to Crate & Barrel to check out some couches that I had seen online.  We are in the market for some new couches, so it was fun to go and look at all of the options they had in store and sit on a few couches.  I think we found the ones we want actually! Now to save up money for them.

After Crate and Barrel, we made our way to Target to shop around and kill some time.  While we were there, we saw a rug that we fell in love with and ended up purchasing for our Dining Room! I am excited with how nice it looks in the room and cannot wait for our table and chairs to be delivered next month!



Saturday evening, we went to Red Lobster with our friends, Nick & Kevin before going to see Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.  I really enjoyed the movie and thought they did a pretty good job with the movie! I will say this, though, if you have read the book, you might not be happy with some of the changes they made.

Sunday we slept in before getting to some chores.  Things have been so crazy lately that we haven't been able to get things done around the house, but Sunday we spent the day cleaning and doing some decorating around the house for the Fall and Halloween! I also took some time to go run some errands while Justin went golfing with his dad.  I even managed to finish the decorations for the front porch! I love how it is turning out.


We spent the evening enjoying Sushi for our weekly Sushi Sunday date and ended by passing out from exhaustion.  Overall, a great weekend!


Lows:
The only low to report for this weekend is the rain we had on Saturday.  I was hoping we would have nicer weather for the whole weekend, but Sunday made up for the cold and rainy weather we had on Saturday.
