Weekend Recap: Super Bowl Weekend!

How do weekends go by so fast?  Seriously, as I write this Sunday night during the big game, I’m wondering how in the world did time fly by.  I guess when your weekend is jam-packed with errands and chores, then that makes time go by fast.  Or getting older ha!

I was so good with pictures until Saturday afternoon, and then I pretty much forgot.  So here’s a look into half of my weekend 😊

It was Dustin’s turn to work this weekend, so as soon as he got off Friday we headed to our high school (we graduated from the same high school) to watch the basketball games.

 It was senior night, and the girls who were on my first cheer squad at 7th graders (and my first year to teach!) are now SENIORS!!!  I have such great memories with these girls including a fun spend the night party AND the fact that they were on my squad when Dustin and I first started dating.  



 Saturday morning I got up and had my Spark while I meal planned and wrote out my grocery list.



 Then I got ready to meet my sister at the gym.  I wore my new leggings and I LOVE THEM! Seriously, I was telling Rachel how much I hate to sweat while working out (counter productive, I know) and these leggings don’t make me get over-heated while working out.



 We had a great full-body workout together.  When I ran a lot, I used to run alone and it didn’t bother me.  But now that I’m doing more weights with cardio, I really enjoy having a workout partner!  Also, #needtogetmyrootsdone  #appointmentin2weeks



 Then I changed into warmer and dry workout clothes for my errands for the day.



I ran to the mall to get a few candles since my candle supply is low.  And then I forgot to take pictures of everything else this weekend.  I grocery shopped, took food to someone in my church, and then when Dustin got home that night, we watched Girl on the Train since I had read the book but never got to see  the movie.  Dustin enjoyed it so much that he stayed awake the entire time!  #notwhereDustinsleeps ha!


Sunday was laundry, cooking, and visiting my grandfather in the hospital.  I didn’t make it to church, so I listened to this Tim Keller sermon on John 1: 1-14.  It’s meant as a sermon before Christmas, but I enjoyed it even in February and learned so much!  Whenever Dustin and I visit NYC, visiting Redeemer Church on a Sunday is a must!

Then like the rest of America, we watched the Super Bowl that night.  I’ll be honest, I was dreading Lady Gaga’s halftime performance because I was afraid she would get political and all I want to watch during a halftime show is singing and dancing.  Like, entertain me because that’s what everyone is wanting you to do.  But she blew me away and exceeded every expectation I had!  I was proud of her opening and really impressed by the entire show.  So much that I may have to buy her latest single on iTunes.

And for laughs….here’s my favorite commercial from last night.  As in, I literally LOL’d.



How was your weekend?!

Friday Favorites!

Friday, I am so happy to see you!!  It’s been a LONG week and I am ready for it to be over!  I’m sharing a few of my FAVORITES today on the blog 😀

I ran by Target the other day to pick up some leggings that I could wear while doing weights in the weight room at the gym.  I’m pretty picky about what I work out in–as in, I don’t want to get too hot.  I found two pairs that had mesh ventilation to make it a little cooler.
 The bottom part of the leg on this one is all mesh.  And I’ve already worn this pair this week and didn’t get overheated!



 The orange part on this pair is all ventilated.  I haven’t worn these yet but will today when I go to the gym after school.



 Anyone see Beyonce’s pregnancy announcement?  I saw it, and I’m pretty sure I made the face on the right.  I literally thought, “Did Beyonce willingly take that announcement picture???”  She wins the award for weirdest announcement ever!



 I’m halfway through this book and obsessed!



We went to Mellow Mushroom last night with my dad, sister, and brother in law, and I always order the Thai Dye pizza.  Pizza is my favorite food in the entire world and I could eat it every day (I did when I lived on campus in college!).  I don’t let myself eat it very often anymore because I’m being more intentional about what I eat, but I do splurge every once in a while.  


Yesterday I published a Day in the Life post–these are my FAVORITE to read!

A Day in the Life (01.31.17)

Happy Thursday, friends!  I am so glad that the weekend is almost here because it has been a week!  Today I’ve got a Day in the Life to share!  These are my favorite to read, and I really had fun taking pictures for this.  I had originally planned to do a Day in the Life on Monday and then I majorly failed taking pictures.  So I decided on a redo for Tuesday and did much, much better!

Here’s what an average Tuesday looks like during the school year  (hint: LOTS of fun 😜)  I should also mention that this day is an average day during deer season because Dustin was leaving after work to drive to his hunting club, so you won’t see him in any of these pictures. The end of the season is soon!  #praisetheLord

 My alarm went off at 5 but it was so cold in our bedroom and so warm under the covers that I didn’t get up until 20 minutes later.  I have a problem hitting the snooze button every morning.
(My lock screen background is from the She Reads Truth Advent study, and I loved that Scripture so much that I can’t bring myself to change it!)



 I start off every morning making my Spark drink.  And yes, my fridge pours water on its own.  It was the selling point for me!



 I spend the next 30 minutes reading and commenting on blogs and watching the news.  I love being able to have the fireplace on while I read.



 It was almost 70 degrees Tuesday so I wore this Matilda Jane outfit with sandals.  Summer weather in the winter makes it really hard for me to dress!



 Then I finally arrived at school.  I always leave my lesson plan out for the day along with any papers that need to be copied.



 My breakfast that morning was yogurt and granola, so I started eating it during homeroom and didn’t get a chance to finish it until after 1st period was over.  #teacherlife



 During my planning period, I tried to get ahead in the book we’re currently reading and plan for the next few chapters.  I also have sticky notes everywhere with random things!



 I went to the gym after school and forgot my socks–gross!  



 I’m lucky enough that my partner teacher/real life friend and I get to work out together in the afternoons after school!  She helps me with weight lifting and I was able to talk her into an outside run after for our cardio.  Thankful for a friend to workout with!



 I ran a million errands after the gym, and since Dustin wouldn’t be home for supper, I decided to grab Subway.



 And instead of getting a sandwich, I got a veggie pizza.  I could eat pizza all day every day. I also watched a little TV while eating.  #whenthehusbandisaway



 I worked on my blog post for yesterday.



 I found a new pair of jeans I wanted.



 I ended up winding down the night by catching up on Summer House while laying on our bed.  I am LOVING this new show on Bravo!!!  Anyone else watching it?



I took a screenshot as I turned out the lights….BUT I could not fall asleep!  I was still awake at 11:30 and then woke up at 4:30 the next morning and couldn’t go back to sleep.  All that to say, I hate sleeping by myself.  I’m so glad D decided to come back early, so he was home last night!!
