MIA

Sorry I've been MIA from posting for a few days.... I've just been so busy at work, home and with school that I can't keep up! I will post more about my weekend later and even post a few pics when I get around to it. Hope your week is starting out on a good note! We're 1/2 way there!! I'll be a better blogger on Friday! :-)

How was your weekend? Do anything fun and exciting? Ours was busy as usual!

The weekend is here!!!

This weekend we will be:

Going back to my hometown-Going to dinner at House of China (yum!)-Spending quality time with my parents-Saturday- Waking up early to do Jazzercise with my Mom-Going for breakfast-Shopping-meeting up with my dear friend Pam for Lunch-Going to a wedding-Sunday-Brunch with my family and relaxing on Easter Sunday......

That's about it for this weekend, not as exciting as the last weekend, that's for sure! Any big plans for you guys on Easter? I'm hoping to get lot of relaxing in.... We have to leave Bear there until the 19th because Jesse will be on a motorcycle trip and I will be at class all day next Saturday, so hopefully he won't be too heartbroken! Have I mentioned, he's a big Mama's boy?? Well, he is probably the definition of the word.... :-) Awww what unconditional love a dog gives you! :-)

Happy Weekend!!!

Relaxation....

Today, at approximately 2:30 pm I will be getting a much needed massage! I am very excited. I could probably get a massage every week and still want more! The lady I go to is amazing! I walk out of there feeling like a million bucks (and like a little grease-ball, a shower is defiantly needed after one of these baby's!) I just thought I would rub it in, though most of you probably get today off! I will post our weekend plans a bit later. Have a great Friday!!

Weekend recap

So, the news I have been waiting to share with you all weekend that I mentioned here is:


My brother & his girlfriend got engaged!! :-) Excited and so happy for them!




Here they are! The happy couple! :-)





So, Friday night was spent celebrating their engagement. We went to her parents house and then out to eat in Dubuque. It was a blast, we had champagne, drinks and food. What a great way to celebrate their happiness. So, I went to bed at 1:30 am only to get up at 6:45 am! uggg

Saturday I got up early to get ready for my best friend, Katie's, shower. It was a complete success and she got a lot of amazing gifts. After the shower, we cleaned up and I headed to get my hair cut & colored. It needed to be done for a very long time. Then my mom & I got pedis. We then went home to make chex-mix and cookies for her bachelorette party. The bachelorette party was themed "Wig Out" We all had to wear wigs and partied it up. It was a fun party, we spent a lot of time in the hotel room playing flippy cup, doing shots and drinking and then we went out to the bars. Lots of fun!

Sunday I slept in, got up at 10:00. (it was defiantly needed!!) We were all going to go to lunch at 12:00 at my favorite Mexican Resturant in Dubuque. Jesse was suppose to meet us there, but called about 2 hours before and told me that the roads where we live were really bad and he had only been driving for 10 minutes and say 3 accidents. Needless to say, I told him to stay home and we went to eat without him. It was a lot of fun and then I headed back home.

I got home and Jesse & I watched Marley & Me. Great great great movie!!! But ooooooooo so sad! I couldn't believe how sad it was. Mad me cry throughout the entire movie almost! haha..... Then we ordered Papa Murphy's pizza and relaxed.

Here we are on Monday, my 24th birthday! Uggg I can't believe it. This last year has flowen by so quickly! Hope you enjoy your day! We got 6" of snow/ice yesterday which was not very exciting, but I guess that's what happens when you live in the mid-west! :-)

Bring on the Weekend!!!

This weekend I will be:

Friday- going back to my hometown for dinner with my family and maybe a special surprise, I'll post about that on Monday! So exciting, but I can't spill the beans now!

Saturday- My best friend Katie's wedding shower in the morning, followed by my hair appointment and then we are going to "Wig Out" on Saturday night for her bachelorette party!!! It's going to be a blast

Sunday- Waking up early to have breakfast with my family. Then doing some shopping with my mom until 12:00, when J gets into town, we will have lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant in DBQ with my family for my Birthday!!!. I can't believe I'll be 24 on Monday! Jeez, time is sure flying by!

All in all I will have a fantastic weekend, surrounded by the ones I love! I cannot wait!

Any plans for your weekend? Doing something fun? It's suppose to be 45 and rainy here, so I won't be missing out on any great weather outside, that's for sure.

April Goals

Thanks to Meredith over at La Buena Vida... She has inspired me to make a few April goals to keep myself on track with her latest post of April Goals

April Goals:

1) Exercise at least 3 times a week (this is defiantly doable, and I'm already almost on track for this week!)

2) Eat at least 3 fruits/day

3) Take a multivitamin daily

4) Paint the basement

5) Clean out the shelves in the basement

6) Get yardwork done for the spring

7) Attempt to buy new windows for the basement

All in all, I believe that all of these are defiantly attainable, I just need to work at it!

What are your April goals?? Do you have any?

A-Maz-Ing Snack

Can you say amazingly delicious?? I have a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerio's every day for breakfast and so when I saw this, I knew I had to try it! I love it! It's got the same great flavor of Honey Nut Cheerio's with pretzels, cinnamon swirls and other great tasting treats in it! AND to top it off, it's not too bad for you. It's a better snack choice than a lot of those other ones out there. Try it! I found it at Target!
