i hate mondays

Mondays are awful.

And to top it off, I had the worst headache most all day today.

So I skipped my workout, came home after work, and just woke up from a little cat-nap.

My night isn't turning out so horribly after-all!

On another note, I learned about the My Fitness Pal app the other day. I have started using it and I love it! My goal is to lose all 12 lbs. I gained after our honeymoon/this summer and maybe a couple more pounds before Josh and Mer's wedding. I lost two pounds last week just being back in the school routine and working out twice. Looks like this is possible!

"Cleaning Tuesdays" is making its way back to our house starting tomorrow. I used to religiously clean at the apartment every Tuesday and then I wouldn't have to worry about it on the weekends. I'm dreading having to clean tomorrow because we've put it off for so long. But, I'll be thankful this long weekend {and many other weekends} that I don't have to use my days to clean.

I'm off to enjoy my lazy night before the rest of this week starts getting crazy!

to shop or not?!?

I was just looking through my closet to try and find an outfit to wear to school tomorrow. {Yes, I have to pick my outfit out the night before or I'll be really, really late to work in the morning!} I yelled down to Kurt saying I really want to go shopping and get some new stuff. And that I really need some new clothes....! :)

Funny how things work because while cooking dinner we were talking about money. We were talking about stuff you talk about when you get married...trying to save for the future even more than we were before. "We need to stop spending so much money," came out of my mouth during this discussion.

Ugh, I know we need to save money, but looking cute is important too! Right?!? {ha} I guess no shopping is in the near future. Now back to figuring out what to wear.

P.S- My first day was great. I'm exhausted and thinking of going to bed soon. This year is going to be fun!

kindergarten

This little lady started kindergarten today and I can't believe it! She's growing up so quickly!

This is Lauren and Julia with my dad {Papa} on Julia's 5th birthday this summer.

I start school tomorrow. I'm not ready. The older I get, it seems like time goes quicker than the day/month/year before. I want life to slow down!! This summer was amazing and I'm sad to see it come to an end. I know this year will be fun and I can't wait to meet my kids tomorrow. I'm off to finish the laundry so I can get in bed early. Have a great week!

really wishing...

...we were back here.

No responsibilities, no phone, no emails, just us.

Missing that amazing time we shared, just the two of us, on our honeymoon.

lake rage fest

We invited some friends up to the lake last weekend. We had a blast. Ate a lot and drank even more! The weather was perfect for long days at the sandbar. I didn't take many pictures, but I'll let them speak for themselves....

We left Coop at my parents house and brought Bailey for two reasons. 1. She LOVES swimming and hasn't gotten to go to the lake for a couple years. 2. We really wanted her to 'teach' Olive how to swim.

Trying to beat the lake....

OG had a difficult evening...complete with some marshmallow on his chest!

On the last day, she decided it was a good idea to swim! Woo hoo!!
