Weekending: happy 2015!

Happy 2015!

Friday

My fiance took Friday off so we were able to relax and enjoy the day together. One of my friends was here visiting all week so I took her to the airport in the morning. 

Saturday

I went to zumba with one of my friends and it felt so good to be back in the gym. Zumba is by far my favorite exercise class. After class we went to Old Navy because they had yoga pants on sale, I got two pairs. Having new clothes always makes me want to work out because then I get to wear them. 

I came home and spent the afternoon working on my Masters and then grocery shopping. I'm trying to make some new healthy meals but I'm not the best cook so it's a struggle. This is my attempt at meal planning:

Saturday night we went to Fantasy Lights which is where they put a ton of lights at a local amusement park and open some of the rides. It was only $10 each and one of our other friends want to go so we went, and it was a lot of fun! It was nice to do something different.

Sunday

After church we went and visited my Grandad. He is going to build us a bed to match the nightstand and dresser he made us when we moved into our apartment so we brought him pictures of one that we liked. We spent the rest of hate afternoon just relaxing and watching football.

I can't believe winter break was over. It was such an amazing two weeks. I always dread going back to school after long breaks but I know it won't be as bad as I think, I just need to go in with a postiive attitude. 

....6 months until summer!

Friday Favorites

Favorite Song

I found this song last night when I was looking for wedding music and I forgot how much I love it. It makes me want to do a dance with my mom just so that I can play this song. The words are so sweet. 

Favorite Verse

This has been a great reminder this week. I've been super stressed with work and upset about the littlest things. I need to get back into reading the bible daily because i know it will give me the peace that I need. 

Favorite Food

I made a pintrest meal this week and it was so good! I served it with whole wheat pasta and peas instead of rice and it was delicious. I definitely want to make it again! 

Favorite Part of the Week

I talked to my dad and my grandpa this week. They both live on the east coast and I am lucky if I see them once a year. It was so nice to talk wedding with them and talk about their travel arrangements for the wedding. I'm so excited that they will both be there for my special day. 

Happy Friday! :)

Weekending: Labor Day Edition

With Labor Day behind us, it appears that summer really is over. I'm glad I was able to have such a busy weekend and take advantage of the last moments of freedom.

We went to a BBQ at our friend's apartment on Friday night. We were celebrating her getting a job at a physical therapists office (she just graduated from PT school in June). We got lost on the way there and were kinda late but it was nice to enjoy the evening and hang out with friends.

Saturday we went to another friend's house for our fantasy football draft. We spent way too many hours watching college football and then doing our draft. It was my first year and these boys I am playing with are INTENSE! I was definitely intimidated and I'm not sure how well I did but it was fun.

Sunday we went to church and then I went to my friends apartment to make some freezer meals. At first I was just going to hang out with her but I decided to make a few myself as well. I ended up making BBQ Pork, chicken teryaki, and creamy ranch chicken. They all looked good and I'm pretty excited to try them this week! It was only about $30 for 5 meals and it's almost guaranteed we will have leftovers from each. I think it might become a regular activity. 

I went shopping later Sunday afternoon and got some new clothes for school! I have a shopping problem, but at least there were great sales! Two shirts (coral/grey patterned & purple) new dark skinny jeans, grey checked dress slacks, a chambray shirt, and a blue and green patterned maxi dress.

We spent the extra day of the weekend with our friends at the horse track. This is one of our favorite summer activities and it was a blast! My fiance ended up coming out even and I only lost about $15, not too bad for a day of betting. 

Overall, it was an awesome 3 day weekend!
