Friday's Confessions

First off, I am so thankful today is Friday.  This is not only a confession but it is a FACT!

1// I confess I am more than excited for the Hunter Hayes concert.  Definitely a girls night and I am excited to hang with one of my best friends tonight!

2// I confess I am SUPER excited about March Madness.  (Go Cats!!)

3// I confess that on Wednesday and yesterday when I got done working out I put the same comfy outfit on both days.  How lazy is that? No judgement…

4//  I confess I'm excited my husband is off this weekend because I look forward to eating real food.  Not the cereal I typically eat if I'm home by myself in the evenings.

5// I confess I've been keeping my eye on a few bathing suits that I'm a bit obsessed with!

Happy Friday!!

Weekend Recap {Nashville}

Okay, listen. Today may be Wednesday and I'm just recapping the weekend.  I might have also had Monday completely off of work and still am just getting to post about our adventures.  Give a girl a break! =)
This weekend was so fun.  I love taking trips with Greg.  We went to Nashville this weekend to visit with his cousin, Cathleen and her husband, Jason.   The trip down was so relaxing as Greg drove.  I got to take in the scenery and enjoy the views.

 We went as soon as I got off work on Friday and got in town around 8:00 Nashville time.  We went out for the evening and didn't get a.single.picture. Terrible, right?   We had pizza at Soulshine Pizza Factory and went out for a bit afterwards to Broadway Brewhouse.

Saturday we slept in (which was wonderful) and Cathleen made us a delicious breakfast!  We are both still trying to conquer a gravy recipe that has been passed down in their family.  We will get there!

After breakfast we got ready and went to Jed's.  We had so much fun hanging out and playing corn hole.  The weather was to die for!  I was completely comfortable in a black tee and jeans.  I am so excited for this weather to come and stay!!

After Jed's we hit up Whiskey Kitchen.  Such a cool atmosphere and DELICIOUS food.  I apologize for not taking enough pictures of the food!

We had every intention on going home after dinner, resting up, and hitting the town afterwards.  However, we were all pretty exhausted.  Are we old or what? Haha =)

Sunday we got up and headed to the gun range.  Y'all I have never held a gun before, let alone shot one.  Greg has always preached to me the importance of me knowing how to load a gun and be able to shoot it.  So, I caved.  I have to admit-I kind of liked it. Not to brag (okay I am a little), but I even had a pretty good shot!

After the range, we went to brunch at Bricktops.  I'll just say this.  For an appetizer we had deep fried donuts with raspberry, chocolate, and icing dips.  Can I get an Amen?

We had such a fun weekend!  Cathleen and Jason were perfect hosts! Even though we got caught in some bad weather on the way home, and it took us an extra two hours on the highway, I wouldn't have traded a thing.  Not even the almost five pounds I gained in three days.  But, who's counting anyway? Haha!

Y'all, have a great rest of your week!

Week in Workouts {Link up}

It's been too long since I posted last.  Life has been busy lately.  But definitely good busy.  Until today we've had school ALMOST everyday (which means a longer summer break when we enjoy being off for the weather) and the hubs and I have been traveling quite a bit on the weekends.
I'm excited to jump back in with my week in workouts (even though I'm a day late!).  I'm linking up with Bliss to Bean today to discuss our week in workouts.

Sunday- Octane Fitness machine at the YMCA

Monday- 4 mile run and 2 mile walk
Tuesday- 3.8 mile run and 2 mile walk
Wednesday- Kettle bell workout with Jillian Michaels
Thursday- Insanity Cardio Circuit
Friday- out of town
Saturday-out of town

I wanted to share with y'all an awesome find.  A couple weeks ago, I saw bought these shorts.  I wanted to let every.single.one. of you know that you need a pair.  These shorts are the perfect length, are reversible, and are VERY comfortable.  Absolutely PERFECT for working out and only $20!

Also, do y'all have instagram? If so, follow honeywerehome. She posted this awesome recipe for protein balls a couple of weeks ago and we can't stop eating them!

Last week we had pretty weather MOST days of the week.  Although today is gross, the rest of the week is supposed to be pretty.  I'm ready for some warmer weather!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Confessional Friday {Link Up}

T.G.I.F. !!!! Can we chant this together? What a week!  I'm linking up with A Blonde Ambition to confess on this beautiful Friday!

1) I confess this weather has me so ready for Spring!  I had to stop myself from pulling out my summer clothes out today.  Let's hope we don't see anymore snow anytime soon!

2) I confess I am sooooo excited for Scandal this season.  Can Kerry Washington be any more flawless?  Shew, I think not…

3) I confess I did six loads of laundry in one day this week.  No judgement!

4) I confess I've been keeping my eye on these rompers:

What are y'alls thoughts on a romper?

5) I confess I enrolled myself in a photography class.  The class doesn't start until the end of April but I'm super excited!

Tuesday Tuneups

As spring is right around the corner, I am always looking for a fun polish.  I have always been an OPI fan but I am recently getting into some Essie, also.  Have y'all ever played on OPI's website? You can see all of the different polishes.  So neat!

 Here's what I'm into at the moment…

For a nice top coat….

How fun are these??

Weekend Recap

Hello Monday!  This weekend was quite eventful!  I am so thankful for the weekends.  Being able to spend unaccounted time with my husband, family, and friends….shew, I couldn't ask for more.

Friday evening I went to dinner with one of my dear friends, Gina.  We had such a good time.  Gina is my go-to sushi friend since my husband isn't the biggest fan.  So when Gina and I get an opportunity go to dinner, we always love sushi.

Saturday afternoon Greg and I went to my nephew's birthday party.  If he isn't the cutest…

Saturday evening, Greg and I bought a new car!  So, so excited about this!  We've been looking for a different car for a couple months now.  We finally bought one Saturday evening!  I have to give props to the dealership we bought it from. They were super helpful and very nice.  Cheers to a SUV!

Sunday Greg and I went to church and had lunch with my Granny.  Afterwards I came home and CLEANED.  When I say cleaned, I mean detailed.  Our house was in need of some major cleaning.  I have done so much laundry today it is unbelievable.  However, those who know me know I am a bit O.C.D.  I do enjoy cleaning and I love laundry.  I feel such a sense of accomplishment afterwards.  Crazy, right?

I hope all of you are having some better weather this week.  We are currently in the mix of freezing rain/sleet/snow craziness.  There's a beach somewhere calling my name...

Week In Workouts

Hey y'all!  I'm linking up with Bliss to Bean today to talk about our workouts for the week.  I can't believe we're coming to another wrap up.  Isn't this time flying???

My goal last week was to workout more muscle groups.  Guess what? I'll be honest, that didn't happen.   So, I'm making it a goal again this week. Here is my week in workouts:

Sunday: 5 mile run
Monday: 6 mile run (I ran with my friend who is training for a half-marathon)
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: 3.8 mile run
Thursday: rest
Friday: 3.8 mile run
Saturday: Kettle bell workout

I have to tell you, I am absolutely loving the kettle bell workouts.  Such a fun and fast way to build muscle.  

I did not take near as many pictures as I should have this week.  I took this picture to show how excited I was that the snow was melting…

I promise to do better next week!  In the meantime, my husband sent me these last week.  One to keep you motivated and one to keep you laughing…

Have a great week y'all!
