Monday Miscellaneous

Good morning, and happy Monday!

I hope you all had a great weekend, especially all of you mommas out there. Although I didn’t get to see my own mom, I got to see my future mother-in-law. Thankfully, I saw my mom last week! Here’s a candid from about 10 years ago. Love ya, Mama!

This past weekend was pretty random. It started on a sad note when I saw this turtle get run over on my way home from work Sad smile

We went to Starbucks happy hour to make up for how sad I was over the turtle.

I also got a lot crossed off of my never-ending to-do list. The house is clean, my inbox is cleared, and lots of little things have been completed. I feel productive! We also showed Trav’s mom around the area a bit. It was nice to spend time with his family, and we enjoyed a good meal, too Smile

I honestly think that I had the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever tasted. We went to the Irish Penny with his parents. It’s a restaurant that just opened in Salisbury, and I give it a hundred thumbs up.

Grilled chicken with provolone and bacon on a PRETZEL ROLL. With their chips on the side. Ah-mazing.

I also meal planned for the week. Because I am starting to coach TODAY, I needed easy things that Travis can make himself without much thought. My practice is from 4-7, and we typically eat early around 5, so he will be eating alone 3 days a week.

Monday: Crockpot Buffalo Chicken (coaching)

Tuesday: Turkey meatloaf – no recipe yet…

Wednesday: Chicken sausage, rice, and salad/veggies (coaching)

Thursday: Turkey burgers and veggies (coaching)

Friday: leftovers or out to eat!

Andddd, here’s a picture of Rexy for ya!

Off to work I go. And then it’s off to practice! Yay! Smile Hope you have a great Monday!

What was your favorite part of the weekend?

Assateague in April

If Friday and Saturday weren’t good enough, we made the weekend even better yesterday. We headed to Assateague Island for our monthly check-in. The weather was absolutely gorgeous!

The Assateague ponies are so awesome. There was one as we came on to the island, and two racing down the beach. There was also a pelican, which always reminds me of Finding Nemo. I also always think it is cool that Ocean City, MD looks so close but in reality is pretty far away haha.

We got about a two mile walk in before heading home. It was a great addition to our monthly trip to the shore Smile

If you want to see our previous trips, head to these posts:

Keep coming back every month and you’ll see more for sure! Smile I just can’t wait until I can get in a swim while we are there. The water was only about 50 degrees, and I am definitely not okay with that! haha.

Alright, off to the pool and then off to work! Time to get back into the swing of things!

How was your weekend?

Saturdays Rock

Saturdays rock so much. I have the whole day to do as I please, and I still have another day of the weekend after. Yesterday was a great Saturday. The weather was gorgeous, and Travis and I had a productive and fun day!

Because we stayed up late Friday eating Olive Garden and seeing Trav’s students put on an awesome performance of The Wizard of Oz, we slept in until after 8! Wowza! I obviously got soup, salad, and breadsticks Friday night. My absolute favorite.

After the late wakeup, we ate a nice egg breakfast, and then it was time to hit up Sam’s Club!

After unpacking our loot, we hung our hummingbird feeder (and have since seen our first of the year!), changed to bright placemats, and found a place for the awesome custom wine glass I won from Celebrate You Boutique, thanks to The Event Crashers! Smile Funny enough, the boutique is in my hometown!!!

We then ate an awesome meal thanks to a rotisserie chicken we picked up at Sams. And after our stomachs settled, we headed to our favorite local spot: Pemberton Park. We went there before, but today, Travis brought his camera and I had a little bit longer of a workout to do. 5.5 miles done, between walking and running! The trail are gorgeous, and Travis loved all of the birds! I totally need trail running shoes.

We followed it up by eating dessert before dinner. It’s totally fine in my opinion. We had a Coldstone coupon (2 for $5!), and I had brownie batter froyo with PB cups. It honestly tasted like I was licking a spoon of batter.

We then went to Chik-fil-a and I got some grilled nuggets and splits fries with Trav. So delicious.

We finished the night off with a movie and grading. A Saturday night in the life of a teacher!

All in all, a great Saturday. Hoping to make it a great Sunday, too!

A few last minute things: 1. I added a Wedding page to the blog for you to follow along with our preparations. 2. Our house is now a 2-blogger home. Travis has started a birding blog to share his passion with others! Check it out if you like birds!

Shout out to everyone racing today, especially those at the DC 1/2! Best of luck to all!

Hope you’re all having as great of a weekend as we are! Smile
