Weekend Recap

Hello Monday! I opted not to blog on Friday because I wanted to focus on Kyle all day. Let me tell you it was pretty awesome to have breakfast, lunch and dinner with my husband on a work day. :) He is now off playing Army and soon I'll be off to see family.

I had a pretty good weekend. It involved a shopping trip to Target, washing both vehicles (yes I actually enjoy this) and then helping a friend celebrate her little boys 3rd birthday.

Sunday, I completed my first solo race. It was another 8k, and it was one I was excited to participate in. It was in honor of Tony Mena, an airman, who passed away from PTSD in 2009. Being married to someone in the military made supporting this cause very very important to me. It was wonderful seeing so many people come out and support this cause.

The day continued with lunch with Britt and then laying around the house doing absolutely nothing. :)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Happy Lady

I am loving my new hair! It was so nice being pampered for 4 hours. I love the length because when you have thick hair like I do long hair is miserable. I decided to lighten the color and have highlights put in. You can't really see them but in the sunlight they are beautiful. It may not be a big difference but I'm happy. I was in such a good mood after my hair appointment that I didn't even care that we had to have 4 new tires put on my car haha.

To top off an already good day Kyle and I had an impromptu date night. We had dinner at our favorite pizza place and frozen yogurt. It was our last dinner out for a few weeks so it was very much needed. :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!

Finally...A Change!

I am so excited that I'm finally getting my hair done today! I have been putting it off for the longest time but not anymore. Can't wait to share how it turns out, I am definitely ready for a change. I think it will make me feel so much better about myself.

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Make it a great day. :)

Sweet Gestures

*First of all, I just want to send my thoughts and prayers to all those affected by the Navy Yard shooting yesterday. It absolutely breaks my heart that senseless tragedies like this keep happening.*

 We are still dealing with the process of the ectopic pregnancy and let me say that I don't wish it on anybody. My levels weren't going down as fast as the doctors wanted so I had to have another shot yesterday and it does not make me feel good at all.

During all of this our friends (and family of course) have been amazing! We received 2 very sweet "pick me up" gifts.

Britt put together this date night gift (she knows my love for Disney movies) and we love it so much!

My friend Kristy brought me this yesterday. Flowers and a to-go coffee date. I was supposed to go to her house for coffee yesterday morning but after that shot I wasn't feeling up to it so she brought it to me.

The sweet gestures from friends have been amazing, we definitely don't take it for granted. Thank you all for all the love and support.

Oh and I just have to say that I'm super excited to see family next week! I decided to drive this time and spend a week with family. It is definitely needed just wish that Kyle could go with me.

Hope you all have a great day!

A Run-derful Weekend

So you like what I did with the title of this post?! :) Haha yes I'm corny.

Our weekend started off Friday night with dinner out with friends. Kyle has become really good friends with 2 other company commanders. We met up with them and their spouses. Let me just say it was an amazing time, we were the last ones to leave the restaurant and continued to have a good time at our house until almost 2am.

Saturday was spent running errands before the German American Night Run. We had a blast! We have a German Air Force Air Defense Artillery unit here and this was their 20th anniversary run. It was a pretty easy 5 mile course but halfway through my knee started to hate me (I blame not running for a few weeks), I finished though and loved every second of running again.

Sunday morning we got up bright and early for The Color Run 5k. This race was just for fun and it was a great event. We will definitely be doing it again. We met up with Britt and Shane plus saw a few people from Kyle's company there. Everyone seemed to have a good time.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching football. That's how most of our Sundays end.

I hope you all had a great weekend!!!

Random Thoughts

So I take back what I said about loving the rain. I love it in moderation...not this crazy all day flooding rain we have been getting. These 3 pictures are what my backyard looked like yesterday and it got worse. El Paso hasn't seen this much rain in a few years, many roads were closed due to flooding and the road over the mountain to the West side was closed due to a rock slide. I did venture out to head to the doctor but that was it, I didn't want to take my chances in this weather.

I do have some pretty awesome news to share. For the last year or so Kyle and I have been diligently working on paying off debt. We are only a month and a half away from having our only debt be the mortgage on our house! No car payments and no credit card debt. It is such a good feeling and I'm really proud of us for sticking to the budget that we set for ourselves. 

We have 2 runs this weekend that I hope my doctor will be ok with me participating in. One is a German American run on post and the other is The Color Run (this one I can walk if she says no). Fingers crossed that I get the go ahead!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

My Favorites!!

I have so much fun with these posts, I love sharing my favorite things.


1. My Disney movie collection. I only had a handful a few weeks ago and thanks to eBay is has grown to this. I'm waiting for 3 more to be delivered.

2.My Minnie Mouse coffee mug, I have been using it a lot lately. Hot tea is the only thing that seems to ease my stomach (that shot I got is wreaking havoc on my body).

3. Bath and Body Works candles. I bought 2 new ones yesterday and this one is amazing!

4. Sons of Anarchy! I'm so glad season 6 has finally started, my Tuesday nights are complete.

5. Rain! We have gotten quite a bit the last few days and the fact that I can't do too much it has been nice to cuddle up on the couch.

6.  Emma and Fishy, these two are the best! They give the best cuddles, well when they want too. :) I don't know what I would do without them.

7. Last but not least my amazing husband! Finally having him home has been wonderful. Like I said the shot I had to get has caused me some horrific pain. He has been doing the best he can to take care of me when he isn't at work. Just having him here is more than I could ask for. He is the best!

I wish you all a wonderful Thursday!
