Happy MONDAY

Hi Friends!
 So i have been a little MIA from the blogging world. I really dislike it to be honest, but i had a good excuse!

I am leaving for a trip down to Oklahoma this week and needed to kick ass in my school work and get everything done for last week and this week so i was a busy girl, and when i was finally done working on the computer for the day, blogging was the last thing on my mind. I am making it priority to have some posts scheduled while i am gone so my blog isn't so quiet! I love my loyal readers and i love the interaction, and of course letting you know about my life :)

There will be a good Post on Wednesday, so make sure you come back!!! You wont want to miss it!

I have just been focusing on school, enjoying out time with Delaney and enjoying girl time when Tamara comes into town for the weekend.

How was everyone's weekend??

We started off by Picking up Delaney at her moms house, she was suppose to have a 4H meeting we had to take her but she changed her mind so we made a surprise visit to Tevis' mom house which I KNOW made her day :) We went out to eat at one of Delaney's favorite Mexican restaurants and then Tevis surprised us with DQ... Tevis and I shared a banana split while Delaney had a MESSY treat lol

This was her treat for having an awesome day school and not getting her Clip moved down for bad behavior. WAHOOO 

Tamara and I had an unexpected Bestie afternoon, and she pressured me into dessert ;) but we had a good healthy lunch LOL Raspberry cheesecake and Chocolate thunder from down under. OH so yummy. So worth it! 

Delaney got to go on a daddy, daughter date! It was make your own sundae, GO FIGURE lol that thing looks huge! I love when they do stuff together. He sure does love Delaney! 

It was 50 degrees Saturday! SO Delaney and I took advantage of decent weather and played outside! We wore storm out playing fetch too. And then it snowed Sunday and was in the teens, yeah mother nature is BIPOLAR! So ready for spring/summer/fall I HATE WINTER! I don't know why i live in Indiana lol 

Last but not least little update on my fur babies. 

Storm is getting so big! I don't think she will grow taller or longer i just think she will get heavier haha. 

If you come over to my house, expect her to be nosey and want to be all over you expect kisses and occasional bites/nibbles lol and expect HAIR. she is shedding! I have to vacuum every other day now. 

Storm is ready for nicer weather too, so she can go to doggy daycare and go for walks with her momma <3

Now i do not have a picture of Reese, she isn't as photogenic, she just sleeps all the time ;) she is my biggest cuddle bug she is always right next to me. She has lost some weight which she needed so i know she feels better. She loves to bird hunt so i for-see her spending lots of time outside come spring! 

So there's an update for ya :) Just living a normal life day by day! Enjoying each day and thanking god for everyday we wake up! 

Monday oh Monday!

How was everyone's weekend?

was looking forward to the super bowl! I love the commercials :) I loved that Bruno mars was going to be singing the half time show!!! 

I was disappointed and sad for Peyton manning! & the commercials sucked this year!

Final was....

43-8 Seattle wont :( BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We had quite the lazy weekend. We picked Delaney up Friday after school at 430 and she went back to her moms Sunday at 5pm. Always love her being here with us, just felt bad because darn winter has been so bad this year that everyone is getting lazy being soo cooped up in the house. Although it is the first weekend in awhile that we have not been busy, so it was nice at the same time. Tevis has needed to stay off his leg so we made no plans, or canceled plans. I cant wait for warm weather so Delaney and I can go for bike rides, walk the dogs and go swimming. Just being able to sit on our back deck and enjoy the warm weather will be amazing.

One thing she requested over the weekend was Sunday Breakfast, so i got up at 830 and made, scrambled eggs bacon and hash-browns for Tevis and Delaney. I made myself one egg over easy, turkey sausage links and hash-browns. I was still happy to enjoy breakfast with my bacon monsters but i enjoyed a small low calories version :) WINNING! Even though it was a lazy weekend it was a great weekend.

So with valentines day coming up and knowing we will have a full house that weekend i am thinking of some yummy treats to indulge in that weekend.

Hi Friends!!
Happy Monday.
How did your weekend go? What was something fun you did with friends and or family?

My weekend consisted of a whole lot of alone time with my Fiance! It was very much needed, the last month we hadn't had a weekend to ourselves! He made me dinner Saturdayvnight and we watched a movie and we had great conversation last night, like deep full hearted talking, it felt like in the beginning of our relationship :) <3
So because he was so sweet with me Saturday night i woke up first Sunday morning and made him Breakfast, was trying for Breakfast in bed but he smelled it and got excited, I heard the bedroom door open and i went around the corner and see the big smile on his face, I got the best fiance award that day hehe :) below is his Facebook status after we finished breakfast :) I love him so much.

So with it being MONDAY and a new week i want to set some personal goals for the week for myself and see if i follow through and can have something positive to write about on Friday when I link up for a Follow Through Friday post with some pretty awesome ladies!

My weekly Goals!

I want to do this Monday - Friday this week 

Hoping my bff Erica @ LoyalRUN will do the same.

Its a good preparation for our February Challenge i think. 

Get Fit February CHALLENGE 

Need to add more exercise into my daily routine, so Here is our feb. challenge! Hope you join us! 

DRINK LOTS OF WATER!

You should drink on average 6-8 cups of water a day 

I Googled a water consumption calculator...it says i should be drinking about 103 oz of water a day

IF i am exercising at least 20 minutes a day

Averages out to be about 12 cups of water a day. 

We will see how close i get to that

Exercise 4-5 times this week. 

Right now my workouts consist of mainly riding my stationary bike. 

Cleaning burns calories :) 

Would love a treadmill! Or at least warm weather to walk my dog!

MORE VEGGIES!

No i did not succeed in the Dr oz challenge, but it made me realize i can eat more veggies if i put more effort into it! I am determined to add more veggies, more greens to my daily diet!

Only WEIGHT myself on WEDNESDAY! 

I tend to get on the scale more then I SHOULD. My weekly weight in in Wednesdays! I need to stick to that! Last Wednesday i did not have a loss, BUT I DID NOT GAIN!! Hoping this week will go better. 

I think that is enough goals for the week. 

I will be anxious to see how I do, all advice and encouragement is needed 

Tune in for Wednesday for Erica and I's WE CAN WEDNESDAY LINK UP! 

It's a fun easy link up :) JOIN US!

Weekend Recap!

Hi Friends,

It has been well over a month since I have been doing my normal routine. Last week even though classes started, we got snowed in. So Tevis was home more then normal, we had Delaney for a couple nights and we had our friend Brian staying with us. So my normal schedule/routine got put on hold for another week. So needless to say i am ready to get back into my normal routine now, i am ready for my alone time again, where the house is quiet and i can jam to music, do my homework and clean in peace haha. Don't you just hate when your routine gets all messed up???

Don't get me wrong i loved having Delaney :) and having people around but being snowed in for almost 4 days with a hyper active dog was no vacation LOL

My weekend was pretty great.
My bestie Tamara and our friend Brian are officially in a relationship!
So i will get to see her more as she will come down here to see Brian from time to time :) CAN'T complain there :) Friday night we did a little date night to Don Pablo's YUMMY FOOD!!!!! especially dessert. It was suppose to be my Cheat meal before my strict diet starting today! I had two chicken tacos, little rice, and some queso. I didn't think i over did it. Except with dessert, haha && even with dessert i tried my best to not over do it. Tevis ate MOST OF IT anyways! Good dinner with friends!

Saturday afternoon, i enjoyed some girl time!
Tamara and I had lunch at Applebees
&
We get pedicures! I haven't had one since September, so it was MUCH NEEDED! It was 40 degrees and i wore flip flops hehe

Saturday night was colts game, our friend bob came over! We had a steak dinner. :)

Tamara is so sweet, she got us new wine glasses. So Saturday night we enjoyed a glass together

*****************************************************************************

SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was time to go shopping for Dr. oz's 2 week diet i am going on!

this is everything i got today for it minus, chicken, tilapia, and some more veggies! 

It's not cheap, but i hope to not have to buy much next week. 

I was all over the store trying to find stuff. 

thank god for Erica who texted me and helped me through my shopping haha

Wish me luck! Tuesday be on the look out for a recap/review for day 1 of this diet. I am so sad to say BYE BYE to my pop. I wake up craving my dt pop most days! 

Ok i am doing blabbing on! Enjoy your monday everyone!

Snowy Weekend!

It's Monday, AGAIN! I typically hate Mondays because it means the weekend is over and a new school week begins with new assignments, quizzes and tests! Today means the last week of classes until January 6th so i am okay with it being Monday :) I have three finals to get done before Friday i hope i'll be done tomorrow! WISH ME LUCK! One more year of school everyone, WAHOOO!

So I hope everyone had a great weekend! We started the weekend off with SNOW....

This was ICE 

& then the snow started. I think we got almost 10 inches of snow.

My car that hardly ever moves LOL 

I shoveled at midnight just in time for Tevis to get home. Last thing we need is him falling. And yes, our cars are in the driveway when we have a garage. Listen.... we have a garage full of stuff and tons of people in our neighborhood use their garage for their vehicles LOL maybe next spring we will get it cleaned out. 

Except for when Tevis took Delaney Christmas shopping Saturday and me taking her Sunday, we stayed home with storm and stayed warm! 

Storm is 6 months old today! My baby is growing up. 

She had her surgery Friday, got spayed and back dew claws taken off. I was so anxious and nervous for her. We picked her up Friday afternoon and i was in tears, my poor baby. 

She did great just came home all drugged up slept off and on until Saturday morning and most of Saturday too. She didnt eat anything until Saturday evening, really wont touch her dog food so we've been cooking her chicken. She has to take antibiotics so needs something on her belly. Any other suggestions, welcomed, please! 

Another picture after we got home

Sunday she was getting into things and trying to play, so slowly but surely getting back to herself. Still couldn't leave her alone, so we are missing Tevis' nephews birthday dinner/cake plans, I hope they understand.  It has been a PAIN taking her outside with all this snow, because her bandages cant get wet so gotta put bags on her feet every time. I hope when we take her tomorrow for a check up that they COME OFF!!! I am gonna be glad she is back to her 100% self and all good to go. I am glad we did it though, now just gotta make sure she does not get fat on us. 

Is everyone ready for Christmas?? We are completely done with Delaney, just need to wrap a few things. We gotta get her desk together soon. EEEEK i need magic so it can be done by itself, haha.

I am ready for my three week break from school, and holidays with friends and family. 

Hope everyone has a great Monday! 

Weekend update! I HATE MONDAYS.

Hello,
It is Monday evening, but at least i am trying to get in a short and sweet post!
We got to spend time with my family over the weekend in Auburn, which meant AUNTIE TIME!
& thankfully we planned it just right to where Miss Delaney got to go with us! :) We dragged storm along too. I was anxious about how the weekend would go with Storm, WAY better then i expected.

The weekend start off by taking Storm to get weighed so we could give her, her monthly trivexis pill. She is 48.6lbs, so i was right by telling everyone she is pushing 50lbs. She will be 6 months december 9th, SO we scheduled her surgery to get spayed December 6th, i am one nervous fur momma.

We picked Delaney up right before 4:30 and headed to auburn. 

& we left around 1ish on sunday!

What a great weekend overall, it of course went by too fast! I love and miss my family so much. 

Saturday i went to meet my newest niece :) 

Hannah Jade Brown, My best friend megan is now a mommy of two :) 

She was born friday morning. 8lbs 9oz 19 1/2 inches long! FULL HEAD OF HAIR! 

megan and I have been friends for 10+ years i believe. She is close to my family and I cannot wait to see her at Christmas time. 

The majority of our weekend was hanging out at my parents, eating and spending quality time with my niece who is gonna be 4 months December 6th. 

Miss Delaney with Tayling, sorta her cousin since Tevis and I will be getting married one day :) 

Oh yea this melted my heart!

Getting so big! 

My mom is one PROUD Grandma

I am one proud auntie. Gave her lots of love over the weekend. 

He is such a good daddy

Wish my luck on getting through my last three weeks of this semester! I cannot wait for my three week break off school! Okay i better get off here, Taking storm to her training class soon! Cant wait for these to be over with too :) 

WEEKEND!

Happy Monday! Its just after 2pm and i am just not getting online to get started on homework for the week and get a post up for the day. 

I got my package out this morning to my lovely partner!  Don't forget to get you package out. Posts will go live next week to show off what ya got starting October 28th. 

I am a lover of football, always have been a colts fan, a Manning fan and still am even though he is now a Bronco. I was excited about this game and this game only, Colts vs Broncos. 

I was thinking this is going to be a great and memorable game. I am going to be glad i was at this game and etc etc. Everyone cheered for Peyton, i was excited to see him in the house he built, It had to of been so emotional for him. I am not sure if his emotions got the best of him or what but THE COLTS KICKED BUTT and It's Andrews house now! 

We won 39-30

Lucas Oil Stadium was off the hook last night! Took us an hour to get to our seats when normally it takes 20 minutes. I was pumped up, cheering and yelling the whole game. It was a great atmosphere and SUCH A HUGE WIN for the colts! 

Just heard today Reggie Wayne #87 is out for the rest of the season :( Torn ACL. I hope he gets better and has a speedy recovery to come back and kick butt next year. 

Andrew Luck during National Anthem 

Sarah Evans sang national anthem and was the halftime performance 

Lucas Oil at night

MY MAN CRUSH MONDAY!

He was cold :) 

Oh man do i love that man! I love that we share football together. 

We try to take Storm to doggy daycare once a week to Socialize her, let run and play outside all afternoon and as you can tell IT WORKS WONDERS. She is a 4 month old energetic puppy. This helps us too haha 

Erica and I throughout the years, have been best friends since middle school! We have been through so much but have finally realized we need each other and even though we are 2 hours apart we are the best of friends and always there for each other, Not a day goes by where we don't text. I love her! She blogs over at Loyal RUN, i wish she would get into it more but with time it'll come back :) I love ya girl 

Saturday morning was spent at target spending little too much money on myself and my partner! Enjoying a yummy pumpkin spice white mocha from Starbucks. 

Seen this on Facebook, i just need an ice tray but going to make these for Storm! 

Got some cute pictures of my niece over the weekend, she is so pretty and precious! 

I sure cant wait to see her in a few weeks!
