Glad to be back

While the honeymoon was absolutely fabulous, and I promise to blog more about it, The Manns were sooo excited to get back to this little fluff ball.  Lucille Suzanne Mann.  Lucy's doggie registration came in the mail, so we are formally going to change her name.  Yep were those weirdos, life before children.

While the transit back to real life, laundry, cleaning, work, pilates, and more cleaning was not exactly what I wanted to do Lucy made things at least manageable.  We thought she might give us the cold shoulder for leaving her, she does that every once in awhile, but she was right by our side as we settled in to married life.  

We've been working on putting things away and unpacking all our new fun wedding stuff.  I told Tommy that it's fun to look around and see the condo look like our grown up condo and less like my college condo.  Moving on up!!  

This weekend has been busy and since our friends Andrew and Andra still haven't received their visas, we have tried to spend every day with them.

Yummy food at Four Peaks on Friday night.

Game night on Saturday.

I think my abs still hurt from all the laughing :-)

Sunday Funday at Two Brothers (with Jordan and Lindsey too)

While we wish them the best on their adventure to London, we are soooo happy to spend more time with them!  Cheers!

A Whole New Level of Coffee Experts

My friend Dana has inspired me to blog today.  Not because this post has anything to due with her specifically but more due to a promise she made to herself, to blog once a week.  I mean I have plenty of stuff to write about, I just am not using my time to write, so this one's for Dana.  Hopefully I can keep the same promise.  I started this post a few weeks ago, when Tommy and I were enjoying wedding registry goodness, aka the good life.  We received enough gift cards for Tommy's favorite registry item, a Keurig!

Most people know by now The Mann loves his coffee and consumes it daily (I mean we try to travel through the Denver airport at all costs just to stop at Caribou).  You might be surprised to hear how late the Manns are to the coffee game, but it seemed as though Christmas came early when I surprised Tommy with the Keurig after a long round of golf.  

While we are still learning about all the amazing things the Keurig can do, it is safe to say I was afraid Tommy would push back the wedding due to extreme happiness.  Great news is your coffee can be amazing and you can still want to marry your best friend :-)

Please note our adorable cups from Anthropologie, also wedding registry goodies, Tommy uses them most days :-)  I love when Tommy loves what I love, ahhh married life :-)

Bubblin' with personality

A picture says a thousand words and these two pictures tell me that I have a very adorable nephew, with uber personality and a very fun sister.  The Marasigans went to the farm quite a few weeks/months ago, yes I am once again way behind on my blogging.

Cade loved all the animals, which reminds me about the goat who ate my dress at the zoo.  Cade is beyond brave to hang out with a big grin on his face in the animal cage.  We never know what is going to come out of Cade's mouth these days and more often then not it leaves us all laughing and smiling.

We are too lucky because he is too cute.  Until Cade's next big adventure...

JITT

JITT also known as Junk in the Trunk, came and went in the beginning of May.  My Mom, Sister and I got our VIP passes and headed out early.  There were many treasures to buy and waffles to be eaten.   Tommy and I found an adult dresser, goodbye dresser from IKEA that only had 3 out of 6 drawers.  We're moving on up in the soon to be Mann household. 

As always JITT was a blast and we are counting down the days until the next one in September.

#TeamUpForAutism

In February, SARRC teamed up with some local grocery stores to raise money.  Customers could easily donate when checking out at AJ's, Bashas and Food City.  SARRC Staff even got to win movie tickets when they participated, Tommy loved that kind of reinforcement.

So naturally I teamed up for autism and spent my grocery money at AJ's for the month of February. :-)

The True Masters Champ

While the fiance's away the boys will play.  Tommy got together with a few of his buddies to play golf and compete for the green jacket.  From my understanding the boys have started a new tradition, and with new clubs on the horizon it should be no surprise that Tommy won the jacket.

What group of friends wouldn't have an official ceremony??

Glad they had fun, until next year I guess??

One of these things is not like the other

Prep Master

We are at it again.

And some might say were crazy, but at least this time around I am the prep master.  The fruits and veggies are ready to go.  Tommy has joined my modified Whole30 in preparation for the big day. We are a few weeks in at this point and Tommy has lost 10 pounds.

There is nothing I like better than an organized fridge, okay maybe there are a few things that would come before a stocked fridge ;-)  Happy Monday!

Exhausted Sunday

While I usually try to relax over the weekend, I try to find some time to squeeze in some Cade time and when I do I never regret it.  Last weekend Ali and I went to Nordstrom to make sure Cade is ready for the wedding.  We all know he will steal the show.  I love cruising in the car with this gleaming smile.

After brief shopping trips, exchanges, alterations and a quick trip to the playground the car ride home was a little quieter.  It was so helpful to have Ali's help with wedding tasks and Cade's help to wear Lucy out.  I think our weekend was a success.  Until next time.

Bachelor Nation

I think I have about 20 posts to write.  Between work and wedding planning I have just been plain lazy :-)  As summer is approaching I am missing my trashy t.v. shows.  I miss the days of group texting through the Bachelor (yes for 3 hours).  While the next season is approaching, I have a few girlfriends who would greatly appreciate some Bachelor humor, and a few friends who won't---scroll to next post if so :-)
