My weekend and monday

hello friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Monday. I had every intention of blogging last night, but while I was cooking dinner I came out to the living room to this....

My husband surprised me with a little set up for a "romantic" evening. It was really a nice surprise, so obviously I allowed myself to just enjoy the time with him. 

It was a nice treat after a long Monday. I had more students added to my class, and let's just say it made for a difficult day.

My weekend....

Friday:
completely low key. We had dinner with the in-laws, and then came home and watched tv/movies. It was so nice just to relax. We were supposed to go to my mom's this weekend, but due to weather, it didn't happen, so I was a little sad about that.

Saturday:
Since I didn't want to workout on Friday I made sure I went and worked out on Saturday making it 5 days! YAY! I did 5 miles on the elliptical!

After a workout I relaxed and Scott watched some football. 

We ended up going to dinner with another couple, and then going for a few drinks. I guess you could say a few drinks for Scott. I had one and just felt guilty having one after working out so hard that day.

Sunday:
Since we stayed the weekend I had a baby shower to go to. It was so nice and I even won a little wine glass filled with chocolates and make up! The sweet prego friend is due any day now and you wouldn't guess she is that far along! She is adorable. And I got to see one of my closest friends. I felt left out though over half the girls there were pregnant! Crazy! haha! oh well my time will come some day hopefully.

The rest of the day I cleaned and got ready for the week!

Low key, but that's okay with me!!

Hope your weekend + monday have been great! 

Oh and on Sunday my pop-e and late Grandma would have celebrated 68 years. I know my grandma is smiling down at my pop-e! I made sure to call him and tell him happy anniversary! love that man to the moon and sure miss grandma everyday! 

Happy Tuesday.

xxoo 

2 years....

Happy Wednesday to you all....

I am a bet melancholy today....my Grandma Reese passed away 2 years ago today. 

She was the most amazing woman, I can't barely even begin to describe how great she was. 

She was like a mother to me, and always there. Her and my pop-e's home has always been what I consider my "home" She was married to pop-e for 65 years...

I miss her so much..there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her, or wish I could tell her about my day. She always took care of me, and could make anything better....oh I miss her. 

love you grandma... 

Happy Birthday Grandma...

Hello everyone! 

I hope you all had a great weekend...

Today would have been my Grandma's 86th birthday.

So my blog today is dedicated to my sweet Grandma..

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her, or have something I want to share with her.

She helped raise me, and I learned so much from her.

She was such a phenomenal woman, and words really truly can't describe how great she was!!!

love you grandma.

Happy Birthday.

1 year. A tribute to my Grandma.

A year ago today, my grandma passed away.

It's hard for me to share, but she helped raise me along with my pop-e who I talk about a lot. 

My sweet grandma was an AMAZING woman. 

She was born August 13, 1926. 

She was one of 7 children. She grew up in a rough environment, with a very abusive father.

But when she was 16 it all changed. She met my pop-e.

They fell in love, and eloped when my pop-e got back from WWII.

This is the day after they got married.

They had 5 daughters.

17 grandchildren.

22 great children and growing. 

They were married for 65 years. 

My grandma helped raise me when my mom was going to college.

She was more than a grandma to me. She was my best friend.

Her home is what I consider my home.

I love and miss her so much, and wish she was here, but I know that she is in a better place now.

Here are some photos of my amazing grandma.

Friday! (Need YOUR help)

love this quote...I thought you would enjoy it on a Friday!

So today I get to see Scott! My family is heading to Laramie for the weekend. 

Tomorrow would have been my Grandma's 85th birthday. 

My pop-e decided he still wanted to celebrate her birthday.

It will be a tough day tomorrow. 

This is grandma when I was a baby.

I miss her so much.

So last night I finally went on a bike ride! I was pretty proud of myself and I am loving riding again! 

So I have been thinking about making a new cd to move to...this is where you come in! 

Please leave a comment with what your favorite song is right now. I am going to make a cd with all your songs!
