Words of advice

#Bubbasmommietime

Nothing better than when Lucy behaves herself at Mimi and Papa's house.  Tommy and I headed up to enjoy some family time with my parents a few weekends ago.  We always enjoy some time away from our everyday chaos.

Lucy enjoys our long morning walks and swimming in the pool.  Maybe we can fit in a long walk with our first free Saturday morning this weekend.  Dream Big.

Bonding

One of my mom and I's favorite things to do these days is vintage shopping.  We love looking for a great deal on a piece with tons of history.  A few weekends ago we braved the long line and headed to Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market.  When we walked in, there was row after row of unique vendors from all across the state, it only took us 3 hours to walk through :-)

Mom found some great vintage finds and I was able to pick up a detailed vintage mirror.  I still haven't figured out where I am going to put it, but that is the least of my worries.

We will definitely be back to the next Vintage Market in September.  Here's to saving some money before then.

College Get Together

Panda was visiting from San Antonio, so what better reason to get 11 of your college buddies together at a D'backs game.  We all got together at Tilted Kilt before the game to chat and catch up.

While chatting at TK, we agreed on trying the $25 Jalapeno Bacon Corn Dogs (I bet you can guess who was trying to get everyone on board).  They were delicious and plenty of food for all of us.

Tommy was excited to rock his new shirt.  Can you blame him???  While most of us were college friends, I decided to invite a few girls from work.  As always the D'backs took another loss but at least we had a fun time together.

Silver City, NM

This post is long overdue, as I was able to have my first travel experience for work.  I spoke in a town in New Mexico, for autism leaders in their small community.  The town was adorable and the people were sooo friendly.  It kind of made me miss Minnesota.

While I was there for only two days, I look forward to the next training abroad.  It was a neat experience to help others that don't have access to the great services we have available in Phoenix.  I wonder where I will be off to next??

Cleanse

Lesson Learned: Want me to do something ridiculous? Ask me at 6am Monday morning.

Check.  I will always say yes.  It happened on Monday in Pliates.   

Of course I would love to do a juice cleanse for two days.  Come Tuesday afternoon, I can't stop thinking about food, what I am making for dinner Wednesday, what I am eating for breakfast, when can I finally eat, what dessert I will have with lunch, the list goes on and on... kind of like this sentence.

Tommy joined me for day two of the juice cleanse and I will be lucky if he doesn't break up with me after this, hahaha.  Our bodies feel great, our mental states well that's still up for debate, but I guess those were up in the air long before Monday.

Wish us luck on 6 more hours, we can do it!  I think...

All Grown Up

I wish I looked this cute in pigtails!  Guess Auntie Meg won't be buying anymore headbands.  Sophia's a big girl now! :-)
