It feels like it's been ages since I've been able to post a blog. I've been out of my normal routine and off playing on vacation, eating lots of yummy food (too much) and spending time with Zachary. I have been on a huge broccoli kick so that's a plus! I made a really awesome broccoli salad that I will be sure to share with you guys when I make it again soon. I didn't take a ton of photos while I was off in vacation world but here are a few recent ones I found in my phone gallery...
Wednesday- before I left work I got to meet Boss, our General Manager, Marc's new bulldog puppy! He was so adorable. When I picked him up he immediately hugged me and just made himself comfortable in my arms. So precious!
Thursday- Zachary and I hit up one of my favorite spots- Indochine, for dinner. We also went to watch the Marshall Football game with the MU club at Buffalo Wild Wings and I was surprised with a special birthday cupcake from one of the Porters Neck Members which I thought was such a sweet gesture.
Chocolate! YUM!!! I got those cute dog party themed plates in my gift box from my mommy. They were fun to use all weekend long.
I received plenty of gifts from my family, as well as Zach. They are too good to me!
I am excited to find some loose leaf tea to make in my new French Press. Speaking of which, does anyone in Wilmington know where I can find loose leaf tea?
Friday, Zach and I worked out, ate lunch at whole foods and then went to play some disc golf at the park! Disc golf is a really fun fittie activity for friends or if you are looking for inexpensive date ideas. Once you have the discs, playing the courses are free. You can walk in between your throws or jog if you want a little extra workout!
We spent Saturday near Zachary's hometown, Garner, visiting with his family. It was really nice to hang out with them for a few hours! I was pretty sad Sunday morning when he left, but after talking to my mom, I finally got going around 10:30, ran some errands and met up with the bike club for a 2:00 ride. It was beautiful out, perfect riding weather, so I am happy I went. Afterward I met up with my friend Molly for dinner. I also have been DYING to get a hair cut considering I haven't had one since about March. Although I have one scheduled with my favorite girl when I go home for Thanksgiving, I decided I would be satisfied with a trim for now. Molly helped talk me into what she calls, "thick and JUICY" bangs. I was nervous to send a photo to Zachary afterward, not really sure if I liked them, but he seemed to be happy with the new look. I've gotten a lot of compliments today so I guess they must look halfway decent!
I miss Zachary dearly, but it was a fun few days. I am happy to be back at work today so I have stuff to keep me focused. I also received a couple follow up emails for the volunteer positions I applied for. I am really excited to meet at Paws Place Kennel tomorrow morning to help out with some kennel cleaning and dog walking from 8am-12. I'm so happy to finally have something extra to do with my time that will go to helping the lives of animals in need.
Hoping to have a few recipes and workouts in the upcoming days so stay tuned. I wish you all a wonderful week!
