WEEKEND RECAP

The first weekend of June was a good one! We didn't have any major plans, so we got a lot done around the house and relaxed some too. Reagan was full on chilling while I worked on Friday, it didn't last too long though. She wanted to chill in my lap while I finished up a call....diva.

I posted this on my instastory on Friday and quite a few of you said that you love this too!  It's so tasty and refreshing. We decided to go to my sister's softball game on Friday night, the weather was great and they won their game!

Saturday morning we cleaned out the garage, it wasn't in too bad of shape, so it only took us about an hour. I started pressure washing our back patio on Saturday, thinking it wasn't going to take too terribly long. Well joke was on me, because the previous owners of our house painted the UNCOVERED patio...which made it incredibly hard to get the paint up. Here is the before, I'll share more later this week!

Saturday we went to dinner and a movie! We saw Adrift and it was really good. It was based on a true story, so that made it even more interesting. We went to a theater in the town next to ours because it has reclining chairs...so nice!

Sunday we made a Sam's Club run after church and then came home and I got started back on the pressure washing. We ended up having to make two Lowe's trips, but Reagan wasn't complaining. She was excited for the trip to one of her favorite places, ha!

WEEKEND RECAP

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND | 2018

Saturday we woke up early and I spent a good bit of time outside before it got too hot for the day. I absolutely LOVE sitting on our back early in the morning.

Matthew made cooked up some hash browns and eggs on the flat top and I toasted some whole wheat waffles for breakfast. Such a quick and easy, but delicious breakfast!!

We went to a cookout at Matthew's parent's house. It was so good seeing everyone and the food was delicious! My MIL made homemade strawberry shortcakes, and they were so good and the perfect treat for summer. She also made a delicious chocolate dish.

We were so stuffed after dinner we decided to take all the dogs on a walk. A storm had blown through so it cooled off a lot and ended up being a gorgeous afternoon!

Monday we hosted a cookout at our house. We had been watching the weather and hoping the rain/storms would hold off so my family could go swimming at our neighborhood pool, but it ended up raining for most of the day. We still made it to the pool though! Matthew grilled hamburgers and hot dogs that morning when there was a break in the rain. They were so good!

WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY | MAY 2018

5 ON FRIDAY

Happy Friday! 
ONE | I think Kait said it best in her Instagram post, but THANK YOU to all those men and women who have and are still currently serving, and to those who have lost their lives protecting ours, we owe you everything. This holiday weekend and it's meaning is not lost on me. 

TWO | This has been one busy week! My company's headquarters is in Indiana so this week a few new co-workers and my new boss flew into town for some in person training sessions. They were great, but that led to some long days this week learning all the new things! One of our activities involved a Mr. Potato Head, ha!

THREE | Wednesday after a full day of training I wrapped up a few emails and hightailed it to my parent's house to do my sister's makeup for her 8th grade formal. It's not cool these days to have your parents drop you off at formal so I quickly volunteered to handle drop off....we won't even talk about the 500 tears I choked back as she and her date walked into formal. How am I ever going to survive dropping my own kids off at kindergarten some day?! We won't tell her I sat in the parking lot a good 10 minutes after I dropped her off debating whether or not I was going to stay the whole time or not. 

FOUR | Last night my sister and I attended the Harry Potter concert at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center downtown and it was incredible! It was the fourth movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and it was really good! For someone who hasn't seen the first 3 movies, I was actually interested in it and now I want to binge watch the first three this weekend.

FIVE | We are having a cookout with Matthew's family on Saturday and my family on Monday. We are looking forward to all the family time this weekend! Also, the pool in our neighborhood is opening for the summer this weekend and I am so ready!
