We Were On A Break!!!

Hello Blog World!!! I feel like it has been forever! Oh wait, that's because it has been, ha! I don't know what it was, but I just needed a break from blogging. I can't really explain why. I just needed it. 

But I think it is time for my break to be over and get back into the swing of things. I find myself missing it more and more each day, so I think that is a great sign that I need to get back to it. 

I feel like so much has happened since I took my hiatus. So much that I wouldn't even know where to begin to catch everyone up. Instead of trying to remember everything and anything that I wanted to tell you guys, I am just going to dive back in and start with a weekend recap. 

This was the first weekend in a long time that I didn't really have any plans. I took Friday off from work. I started my day by meeting up with my personal trainer and we climbed the Manitou Incline. It was the first time I have done this in two years and I was a little nervous because it took me forever last time and I got pretty sick about half way up. This time however was a lot different! We made it up in just under an hour and I didn't get sick. I am pretty damn proud of this accomplishment. I can't wait to start doing it more often. 

After conquering the beast that is the Incline, I headed to my Dad's work to get my passenger side mirror fixed on my car. Why it is broken is a post for another day. After that I headed to the mall to kill some time. I ended up going and getting some food from one of my favorite places. PB & Jellies. They have delicious Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches. Yum! And I dropped my ring off to get sized and also purchased a few new Maxi dresses. It was a good trip.

I had an eye appointment to get contacts Friday afternoon. That was definitely interesting. I have only been wearing glasses for two and a half years and have never worn contacts, but I have gotten to the point lately that I can't stand my glasses. So I went in and they showed me how to put them in and take them out. That was a whole lotta fun! 

After I left the eye doctors I had a few hours before I had to meet back up with my trainer for our regularly scheduled session, so I went home and just chilled for a bit. Once it was time I headed out for my session. Even though I was already pretty tired from doing the Incline earlier in the day, it felt great to lift. My trainer pushed me til I felt like I was going to die, but that's the norm. 

After I left there I headed to my Brothers so that I could babysit my Nieces and my Nephew for the rest of the night. It was a pretty uneventful night. We watched some TV, had some dinner. Nothing too extravagant. 

Saturday I woke up and sent the Husband on his way for the weekend (Hello! House to myself for the weekend!). He headed up to Denver for the weekend with a friend and to visit his parents. I got myself ready, had some breakfast and then went to Zumba. After class I ran to the bank and did some grocery shopping and then headed home where I proceeded to be lazy the rest of the day. I spent some time laying out on our back porch where I got an awesome sun burn on my stomach and back. Yay me! I took a nap, I watched some TV and made some dinner. It was a great day of relaxing. 

Enjoying the sun!

Sunday was much of the same. I picked up around the house. I made these delicious Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins from the the Skinnytaste Website. OMG! They are scrumptious! I watched some TV, I took the dog for a walk and then dropped him off at home and went on a run. He makes running too difficult. He likes to trip me, it isn't pretty. I made dinner and then waited for the Husband to get home. It was a very relaxing day. 

This weekend was just what I needed. I haven't had a weekend to just relax in a long time. And it felt great. But I think it will be my last relaxing one for a while. Summer is starting to pick up and we have so many things planned already. I can't wait to tell you guys more about them. Hope you have a great Monday everyone!
