Meet Anne...isn't she the prettiest Bachelorette that you ever did see?  We took off from LAX this past Friday and headed south to Austin, TX to celebrate this special lady.  I could literally go on and on about all the fun we had over the weekend, but instead I will just do a photo dump and let them speak for themselves!  Ladies, it was a blast!!  Austin, I miss you!! And Anne, may all your ... [ Read More ]

It’s Meal Plan Monday Ya’ll

Ok so I don't ever use the word "ya'll" but I just had to throw it in there after returning from my amazing two nights away in Austin, TX for a bachelorette party.  I haven't had a chance to write about my trip since I just got back yesterday afternoon (and was in bed by 7:00pm ha ha), but I wanted to do a quick Monday Meal Plan post.  I will also quickly say that Austin was AWESOME, and since I'm ...

All Egg-ed out!

It's been awhile since my last post...I've been up to my neck in plastic Easter Eggs! Two years ago I took Nathan to his first huge egg hunt that one of the local churches held.  There were hundreds of kids there, baskets in hands, being held back by the neck of their shirts, ready to pounce as soon as the horn sounded to start collecting.  Nathan literally got trampled, and when I finally ...

Workout Wednesday

This week is looking a little different when it comes to my workout schedule.  Typically Shane goes down for a nap at 9:00am and I will do the elliptical in the garage while Nathan plays outside with me.  This has worked out so great!  I can workout for 45 minutes, Nathan gets to play in the yard, and I still get time to shower after and then we head out for the day. Just when I was really ... [ Read More ]
