Lake Time..

School is OUT and I need some sunshine and water with my honey! We are planning to go to the lake this weekend if S has no meetings...Cross your fingers for me! :) Here is what I'm dreaming of at the moment.... ;)

 

 

 

Life is always better at the LAKE!

 

Grillin' Time..

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was extremely low key and relaxing. I'm in my last week of school before being off for 12 weeks! I am DEFINITELY looking forward to it. We are hoping to head to the lake this weekend...What better way to kick off Summer break? ;) Anyway, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, "I love grilling." I love the taste of chicken, steak, and really ANYTHING on the grill. I also love that it's mess free in the kitchen! We have been grilling all weekend with family and friends, but of course, I text him this morning and say, " Want to throw some chicken breasts on the grill tonight? ;) " Here is what we are planning to have for dinner tonight.....

Balsamic glazed grilled chicken

 

Grilled Corn on the cob with feta and green onions

 

Simple, but just going to cut up a bunch

of vegetables and grill away! ;)

 

 

AHHH!!! Grill season is finally back!

Weekend Plans

What all do you have on the agenda for this long weekend? :) S and I WERE going to the lake, but decided to stay in town and grill out with some friends one night this weekend. I'm just looking forward to the day off on Monday..woohoo! ;) Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! It's almost hereeeee!

Friday night, S and I are having date night. I am so excited for a

romantic evening out with my favorite man! We plan to see

The Great Gatsby and have dinner at one of our favorite local

spots, Tsunami. It's in Midtown and real close to Studio on Square.



 

 

 

Saturday morning, I'm getting up early to do some

strength training with my trainer and possibly a

run after...If I'm not too tired, ha!

 

 

 

Saturday afternoon, I have a haircut appointment, nail

appointment, and eye brow wax appointment. ha!

Talk about getting beautified.

 

 

 

 

Either Saturday or Sunday eveing, we are grilling out

with some of our friends on their awesome patio.

 

 

The rest of the weekend is unplanned...

Which I am quite excited about it.

I am sure we will hang out with the family on

Memorial Day and grill out again. I love this time

of the year because I prefer my food

cooked on the grill.. ;)

 

 

Happy WEEKEND & MEMORIAL DAY, friends!

Weekend Recap..

We had a very good weekend with friends and family! It was a busy one, but I enjoyed every minute of it! Friday night, we headed down to BBQ Fest with our close friends. We had a wonderful time hanging out with our friends and eating some BBQ. Saturday, I spent the day with Mom. We ran errands, went and ate lunch, did a little shopping, etc. Saturday night, we had a grill out at my parents' house. It was so fun relaxing with the family. S and I were home and in bed by 10:00...We were exhausted! Sunday morning, S and I got up and had brunch at Automatic Slims around 9:00...I love Automatic Slims because they open early! :) We were in there with all the older people...I guess all the young folks were still in bed hungover. ha! After we had brunch, we ran some errands and then met up with my Mom at Local Midtown for a couple beers and to cheer on our Grizzlies! Unfortunately, we lost, but we'll be ready Tuesay night! We ended the night having dinner with my Mom and Grandmother, ( my dad is out of town for work. ) All in all, it was a fantastic weekend! I'm a blessed girl to have such wonderful friends and family!

The Most Random TGIF Post EVER....

Don't you love the caption? ;) That is about how I'm feeling today...Exhausted and all over the place.. This has been the LONGEST week! 10 more days of school and then i'm out for 12 weeks!

Last Saturday, S and I went to the Grizzlies game with friends.

We sat in the suite and cheered our Grizzlies on to a win!

It was a fun time. Of course we went out after to celebrate. ;)

My S man and I were excited we won!!! GRIT N GRIND!

 

I ordered two pairs of shoes from Target last week.

This was the first pair..Don't you just love them?!

They are super comfy, too. I wore them to the Grizz

game last weekend.

This was the second pair...DROOL.

My workouts have been tough this week.

I am realllllllly sore to the say the least.

I am trying to up my cardio, etc. Do you ever feel

like you work out for several months

and then you just get in a rut like it's not working

and you need to change it up?

Yeah, same here...So that's what I did...

I DEFINITELY changed it

up and I CAN FEEL IT.  I keep meaning to get

a picture after EVERY workout, but I forget.. :(

it is time for a new pair. I loved these so much..I am thinking

about sticking with the faithful Wave Riders and just getting

They go with a lot of my workout clothes. :)

night, but I will definitely be taking off the next day. ha!

 

This is hilarious. I'm sorry...I had to repost.

I am loving this meal for breakfast right now.

I poached a couple eggs and placed it on top of

an english muffin with an avocado. A little

salt and pepper, and you have yourself a meal.

SO GOOD!
