Productive Memorial Day Weekend

First and foremost, I most thank everyone in our armed forces!!! Past, present, and future men, women, service dogs, and horses our thanks will never be enough to thank you for the freedom you provide! THANK YOU! 


Friday was my students high school graduation!!! It was a seriously long day and lots of fingerspelling for the interpreter,but I'm so happy and proud of her!
Friday night awesome! N, J, and I went to an awesome restaurant called Your Pie (it's like subway but in personal pizza form). Most places I go do not accommodate my food allergies whatsoever;they either act like they hate having me or they play stupid and serve me things that make me sick anyway. 
Your Pie goes above and beyond to make sure I don't feel sick! They have a fully gluten and dairy free pizza that tastes great! They changed gloves and made it in the back(away from any other flour!). I haven't had pizza in months and that was just because I was craving it even though I was sick for 3 days after eating it! So thankful for this wonderful treat from my past without allergies! 

Saturday started us off with a bang! Lots of things to checkoff our list!
-First a stop by the vet to refill Flik's antibiotics (he has improved, but not enough to stop the meds...hope after these 2 weeks, he'll be back to perfect health).  
-Next stop, Pets Plus for lots of dog and cat food so they will have plenty for our upcoming trip(also some bones and new training leash!😊).
-then off to Lowes for mulch and equipment to finish our water feature. When dad was here, he started a project in the back that we couldn't let sit any longer. We are still calling places for small rocks for the top (it's suprisingly hard to get them unless you want to buy at least a half ton!), but here's what we were going off of, and then the next is what we have finished so far.


Since Building, we have discovered it is a very popular watering hole for our (and most of the neighbor's) pups! HA! They think we made it just for them! 

After long hot hours, we finished up the day hanging out at the H's playing with the babies and I also ran to Publix to pick up an rx and dinner stuff. We started a movie, but I crashed after a few minutes! 

Sunday, I went to work first. Then we decided to workout. I haven't had a gym membership since my Ucf days and I never really focused on weights, so I thought I'd go into one of our local gyms. This is the complaint I ended up writing them after our visit:

I just wanted to let you know that your sales tactics just lost you a customer. I have never been a member of a gym because I am a cyclist and avid workout person on my own, but I wanted to start weights and classes. I saw the 3 day free trial on your website, but the form wouldn't work (server error). My husband and I decided to go in to the west side location and just say we saw that on the website. The woman said we had to fill out the form on the website, but that still didn't work. Then she had us fill out guest forms and acted like that would safice. We took the tour and really liked the facilities. She then sat us down to discuss pricing. That was fine because we were interested in signing up. After going through two of the three options she said she had for us, we felt pushed into signing. I really wanted to try out the equipment and a class or two before deciding since I have never experienced any kind of gym before, but it quickly became evident that if we did not sign up today, we would not be allowed to use any kind of free trial. You should not advertise something that your employees do not follow just to get people in the door. I just wanted to let you know you are losing customers due to our experience today. Thank you. 


I still don't think the gym is for me since I like being with my puppies too much, but the manager has called several times to appologize, so we will see what kind of deal they offer now. 😄

Anyway, we decided to pay for a guest pass at UGA so I could still try out some weights. 
We made it home and still did an insanity abs session! :)

Monday was pretty lazy... Cleaned the house a little, got J packed for his trip, played with the H's and pups in their kiddie pool while J was at work. He came home and took a nice long nap, but I woke him after a couple hours so we could do Insanity and eat! My leg muscles were crazy sore from working them out with weights for the first time!!! Looks like I need to be doing more of that! 

All in all, great weekend at the Lama house and I will miss my hubby lots while he's at his conference! So glad N is here to keep me company!  Hope y'all had a great weekend too!
