First Week of August Updates Presented by Facebook!

Disclaimer: This post is just for me to remember some of the fun activities and happenings for the last few weeks of summer. If you follow me at all on facebook you've definitely already read these posts.

Monday, August 1:
Today is day one of being back at the gym. I should not be this out of shape this summer: Is it horrible to be out of breath walking up one flight of stairs?!?! Ha!

I am so glad to have worked out this afternoon. Goodness this girl is out of shape. Now it is time for dinner, Target errand, and will be walking the pups again tonight.

Tuesday, August 2:
Took me four episodes on Netflix to get this lazy bum off the couch. But the gym I will go!

The husband and I are going to pick up dollar icees from Burger King and free movies tonight!

Wednesday, August 3:
I am excited to meet sweet friends from our ABF for a Chuys dinner tonight.

Thursday, August 4:
I really wish that people would not enjoy going to the pool at her apartment complex between 3-5AM. For some reason the lack of sleep makes her grumpy...

I can't wait to see my sweet friend Sally today for lunch at Chilis.

Plans have changed... Today I will enjoy making some crafts and watching some shows on Netflix.




I am wishing Ray a fabulous Frisbee game. This girl just can't take the heat! PS: They won! Next Thursday is the championship!

I just had the greatest conversation with my best friend from Arizona tonight. It absolutely made my day.

Friday, August 5:
I get to see my amazing friend Sally for lunch today. I have so missed this girl.



Is going to the dollar theater with the husband tonight to see X-Men First Class and then enjoying a relaxing night at home with the pups. Tomorrow we will be leaving bright and early and heading to Austin to see my great aunt, mom, and dad for lunch.

Tomorrow... chick-fil-a breakfast... four hour and fifteen minute drive there and again on the way back... But the chance to have lunch with my family and see my great aunt out of the hospital is priceless!!



Saturday, August 6:
Totally worth it!

Sunday, August 7:
It's 3:30AM and I just reminded the 7 kids downstairs at the pool the time and that there are families trying to sleep. Thursday I asked the same kids to turn down the music. Today I was laughed at. I have never felt so old. Boo

I definitely need a day to relax since I was up all night. So we just got back from getting some icees and driving around to look at neighborhoods. Now I am just blogging and updating pictures while watching movies in bed with the family. I love lazy afternoons.

Next week is my last week of summer. I am looking forward to several more fun activities and days with Ray as he will be on support next week. Wishing you all a wonderful last week before we go back!

Daycation in the Country, Lunch at Logan's, and Family Blessings!

Today, the husband and I packed the car, enjoyed a chick-fil-a breakfast, and made the four hour trip to San Marcos, TX to have a special family visit. For a few weeks my mom and I had been planning a day trip to visit my great-aunt Alice in Wimberly but recently several health issues had sent her to the hospital. What a blessing it was to hear the day before we left that she would be getting out of the hospital and arriving home!

Upon our arrival to San Marcos, we met up with my mom and dad at their hotel. From there we traveled to Logan's Roadhouse and enjoyed a very tasty lunch, a fabulous time of catch up, family fun, and photo opts. It was definitely such a special time with my family.

It had sadly been too long since I had been to visit Wimberly. It was interesting to see all the different changes that had been made to the town. It was also amazing to be reminded how beautiful living in the county truly is.

When we arrived to my great-aunt's home in Wimberly, look what we found in her backyard...

...deer waiting for their afternoon meal. Yes my family feeds a family of 15 deer by hand each day. Seeing and spending time with my great-aunt and family was such a blessing and absolutely worth the trip!

Ladies Night at Casa Ritas!

This past Friday the ladies and I enjoyed a ladies night out at Casa Ritas in Frisco, TX. We enjoyed delicious Mexican food and tasty ritas! I would highly recommend this restaurant as they have such delicious food and huge portions:)

It is amazing to believe that we have been great friends for about 8-9 years now. I absolutely love these girls and am so thankful for each and every memory we've made and for all those we will share in the years to come. Here is to many more fun ladies nights out in our future!

On a side note to our sweet friend Kaylan, I cannot believe it has been over a year since the move. We so wish you were here and are missing you daily. I am so thankful for the opportunity that God has blessed both you and James with in Arizona. We absolutely cannot wait to see you both in October for the A&M v. Baylor game in College Station.

A Celebration of Sprinkles Cupcakes & Free Lasagna from Buca

This afternoon after completing ESY Summer School, Ray and I left for downtown Dallas to enjoy a celebratory Dimples cupcake... but Dimples had closed and I was devastated. So the husband quickly went to plan B and located Sprinkles in Dallas.




He absolutely saved the day because our Sprinkles cupcakes were amazing! We couldn't just decide on one so we each got two! One to enjoy while dinning in and one to go. We enjoyed and taste tested the carrot, red velvet, chocolate marshmellow, and the salty caramel. They were all so very tasty but the carrot and red velvet were my favorites.



Here are two cupcakes to go.

I had received a message earlier in the day from my friend Kristin reminding me that today was National Lasagna Day at Buca di Beppo! You receive a free portion of lasagna with the purchase of a small entree. What could be better than free and delicious food.?!? Plus we used the $10 off coupon we found in last Sunday's Newspaper! So after stop for our afternoon dessert of cupcakes, we decided to enjoy a Buca di Beppo lunch and save the lasagna leftovers for dinner. (Thanks K for the reminder;)





Our afternoon celebration was definitely full of smiles! Tonight I am enjoying wine, movies, and time spent with my sweet family of four! That is all the celebration I need:)

Wordless Wednesday with Ray and Toby

End of ESY Yogurt, Pizza, and Pool Day Celebration!

This past Wednesday, Julie and I celebrated our last few days in ESY Summer School by enjoying an afternoon of pizza, yogurt, and pool time. This trip Michael, her husband, was also able to come with us and enjoy his very first experience at Yogilicious Yogurt Shop in Allen! It was delicious!

What a fun afternoon with my carpool partner and a great way to celebrate the end of our summer school experience.
