Planet Fitness

I became a member of Planet Fitness and I am one happy client!

I got to try out their 30 minute workout express which is perfect for me and I LOVED the hydro massage beds!! (That alone makes it worth the $20/mo I will pay)

Take a look at their layout and equipment.  Let me know if you want to be my work-out buddy!

Christina's Shower

My aunts and I hosted Christina's bridal shower.  She had an absolutely gorgeous day for the event, we sat outside it was only about 75 degrees. We started by playing some games, then ended with a ice cream bar and cake pops.  Christina's wedding is in July.  She is very lucky to have so many people surrounding her that love her!  See some fun pictures of the day below:

The ring game, people weren't allowed to say some words if they did they lost their ring.  The one with the most wins.

Weekend wedding

Chris and I attended a lovely outdoor wedding on Saturday for my cousin Tony and his new wife Meghan.


Last walk

Cooper had his last walk with his friend Nala. He didn't have a clue but Nala is moving to Ohio. She has been a good neighbor.

A weekend to blog about...

Other blog title runner up: Banana Splits and Other Things I Love...

Lately, my weekends have been very dictated... go here, do this, then go there, do that... but this weekend was different.

Friday night I had some unexpected home time (plans changed) and I got a little laundry and household "to-do's" done.

Saturday was GREAT! I slept in til 10, snuggled with my boy til noon, stayed in pjs all day and cleaned, went on a long family walk with the dog and hubby and then showered in preparation for a wonderful date evening. My hubby loves Marvel comics and I wanted to surprise him, so I told him that if the house is clean, we could go out for a movie theater date night.  Since we have a theater in our basement, we almost never go out to the theater (our budget thanks us-- phew movies are expensive!)  We saw The Avengers.  I knew even I would enjoy the movie since it is opening weekend and I would be surrounded by other Marvel fans.  They didn't disappoint, they laughed and cheered together.  I just cherish Saturdays when Chris and I can just BE together.  I LOVE THAT!

Today wasn't bad either but I had to step it up in my school work so that always takes away my attention that I can give to Chris.  I also had someone inquire about a potential newborn photo shoot so of course I spent a long time getting ideas and "pinning" them to Pinterest.  I've been having a lot of fun launching my new photography business.  I officially have a website up and running and I have even made some sales on it.  It is all exciting for me!

I usually get pretty "mopey" so to speak on Sunday nights with the realization that it will be a whole other week before I spend time with my hubby again.  However, tonight when we shared our homemade banana-splits it seemed to keep my spirits up!  Did I mention that I love these moments!?
