Weekending: Sunshine & Soccer

I had a fabulous weekend! We didn't have too many plans which always makes it that much better since I actually have time to relax. Here's what we did!

Friday night was our FFA end of the year banquet. The kids did an awesome job recognizing everyone for their accomplishments this year. They also announced the officer team for next year and it is a great group, I am excited to see what this next year brings for our chapter.

Saturday morning C and I went to help my mom with yard work. Her and her boyfriend have been spending the last few weekends completely transforming the backyard at her (my childhood) house for our rehearsal dinner. It looks AMAZING. We went and helped them move bark which was the final step. I am praying for a sunny day so that they get to show off their hard work. I will be so devastated if it is rainy but I can't even start thinking/stressing about that.

I spent the rest of Saturday finishing and stuffing my invitations. They are going in the mail today! 

Sunday C and I went up to Seattle for Sounders Game. This was my first professional soccer game and it was a lot of fun. My cousin lives in a building near the stadium and we went up there to BBQ and hang out before the game. It was a great day, perfect weather, and they won!

Back to school tomorrow. Only two more full weeks! I'm so ready for summer.

Friday Favorites.

Here are some of my favorite things today! 

The Fair. 

I'll be spending all weekend with my students at the fair and having various friends and family stop by to visit. We already started off winning the market hog show yesterday, let's see if we can win lambs today! 

Sunshine.

This is my weather forecast, pure happiness. :) 

Best Friend Sleepover. 

My fiance is out of town this weekend and so is her husband so we are having a sleepover. I can't wait to do some wedding crafts, hang her gallery wall, and stay up too late chatting. So thankful for an amazing and true best friend. 

Verse. 

My friend found this website (from pintrest I think) that has bible verses based on names and this was mine. I think it's so great because first, all of the glory should be to God and second, I think it's so important to thank him for all that He does and all that he allows me to do. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and like I have too much to do but when I think about all God does for me, my burdens that he carries, he deserves all of the glory. 

Exercise

I went on a short run last night and it felt amazing! I don't own a scale but I can tell I'm losing weight and today when C hugged me he said I'm getting skinny. I'm so glad to be staying on track even when I'm busy, stressed, and overwhelmed. I don't want to look back and say that I felt fat or ugly for any of my wedding related events, so I'm determined!

weekending: the ocean!

This weekend was such a blast, we took advantage of the extra day off and headed to the ocean!

When we arrived on Saturday afternoon we walked along the beach and through some of the little shops in town. We watched the sunset on the beach and then went out for a fancy dinner for Valentine's Day.

On Sunday morning we got up and headed to Cannon Beach, known for their famous Haystack Rocks. We walked along the beach for a while, it was so nice to just walk and talk and enjoy the scenery and the sunshine! I must say we lucked out with weather. It was sunny and unseasonably warm, lower 60's, all weekend. It was amazing. :)

Sunday afternoon we played some games at the local arcade and then enjoyed happy hour in a bar with a view of the ocean. We watched the sunset again and it was a breathtakingly beautiful.

It was such a simple weekend but it was so special because it was just us, we were someplace different, and we were making those memories together. I loved every minute.
