On the bandwagon

The rumors are true Tommy and I are back on the workout bandwagon (okay okay so there might not actually be any rumors going around).  We are going strong for three days (so it's still early)!! By waking up early and getting our workout in before work we have been able to miss out on the heat too.  Unfortunately I acquired a large blister on the back of my heel today, so I am not exactly sure what that might do to my workout schedule for the weekend. We will have to wait and see...

Since I've been working out more we of course have been rocking many of the adorable workout outfits from Ellie and Lulu.  Here are some new things I've had my eye on.  My only rule is I can't buy anymore workout clothes unless I continue to keep working out.  Here's to keeping the streak going...

Cherry on top

To top off another great weekend this morning Tommy and I headed to AJ's to get the best iced coffee (and we may have split a GF chocolate chip muffin).  Since we were headed to do my least favorite thing in the world (grocery shopping) I needed something to keep me motivated.  Luckily I have an excellent boyfriend and he knows how much I dislike this mandatory excursion so he always takes charge.  

With a few less dollars in our back account and plenty of meals planned for the week, we walked out of Fresh and Easy feeling semi-successful.  While I enjoyed my iced coffee treat, little Lucy also enjoyed a treat... a new doggie toy.

She did not let it out of her sight for more than a few minutes this weekend.  Everyone got a little bit of spoiling this weekend except I am not sure what Tommy's would be... maybe golfing with the boys?

New Food

As Tommy and I were driving to dinner with some friends on Friday we had a wonderful surprise.  I saw it first and since I was driving all I could do was point and yell Oh my goodness!!  Tommy quickly turned and saw the sign for our favorite Taco place... America's

We not exactly sure when this location is opening but we couldn't be more excited since it is only a few blocks from our house.  If you haven't tried America's yet you NEED to go!!  You definitely can't beat these Happy Hour specials as well...

Monday thru Friday---DINE IN ONLY--

$.50 Chips and Salsa- $1.00 Tacos- $2.00 Imports- $4.00 Margaritas

After driving past the great news and not crashing my new car, we arrived at San Tan Brewery for dinner with the Barkyoumbs!  Since we hadn't seen the Newlyweds since their wedding in March we had plenty to catch up on :-)  Right before we started to eat we realized that we were all eating the same meal as the last time we got together.  Man we sure are exciting!  We definitely promised to mix it up next time and would not wait as long.

The delicious cocktail I enjoyed after a long week.  A Hop, Skip and Go Naked!

Love Love

Last night my new favorite dating show wrapped up with their season finale.  While everyone makes fun of my tv watching choices, there is just nothing quite like my mood after watching a show about falling in love.  I love watching about love (it put me in such a good mood that I vacuumed and mopped my entire house at 9pm).  Ready for Love is/was a show about 3 single guys looking for love with the help of some matchmakers (there is still time to watch on NBC online).  

I know my Dad will be right on this recommendation, hahaha.  Hope everyone is having a good week so far.  I know Tommy and I are already counting down the days till Friday.

Heating up

Ever feel like someone's watching you??  After spending the weekend up at my parents Lucy and Ruby might know exactly what this feels like.  While Lucy and Ruby have a love hate relationship they do entertain each other and we always leave my parents place completely exhausted.  On Friday night, Tommy and I headed up North to spend some quality time with my Mom and Dad.  Tommy received some serious spoiling as he golfed his weekend away and I may have even got some free lessons at the driving range.  Mom and I spent our Saturday with a dog walk, swimming, cooking and reading a good book.  It was just what we needed to escape the heat.

On the go

While I feel like we're finally back in our routine (post wedding celebration and studying), somebody else is on the go more than ever.  Cade's birthday is approaching quickly and I still can't believe he is almost one. Currently he is loving hot dogs, swimming and motoring his push toy EVERYWHERE.

Since it was Memorial Day weekend we took full advantage and packed our weekend with movies, reading, shopping and even 18 holes of golf.  Even though we were busy this weekend, I somehow took no pictures.  So I guess I'll have to litter this post with just two more pictures of Cade instead... if I have too! :-)

Happy Thursday everyone, any big plans for the weekend?

Sunday Funday!

Since I spent my last weekend being a hermit I am glad to see someone was able to enjoy their weekend.

My roommate was so thoughtful and took Lucy off my hands on Sunday.  Not only was I able to study and focus for many hours but Lucy was able to do her favorite thing in the world, swimming!  Mucho Gracias to Tommy and Sammy for putting up with my difficult attitude/study habits for the last few months.  Lucy might be dead without you...
