It's 'So What Wednesday' again and I've been slacking in the blogging department, so I'm trying to get a quick post in today!
So what if...
-I've only been able to talk to my hubby a few mins since Sunday :(
-Every house project I start turns into 10 more, the house is really starting to come together!!!! (Bleaching back patio)
-I hate the theory reading I am doing for my summer class, but at least I'm taking my final this week!
-I'm putting off that reading by finding anything and everything else to do including watching the Tour de France and blogging right now :)
- I'm finding out that I am totally ready to teach spin classes, I just need to figure out all the crazy certification processes and pick one!
-I've had a busy week, I got to spend lots of time with my favorite little kids ever while E starts setting up his new classroom and LA finishes up summer school.
-I had a GFree waffle this morning, after 2 hours of spin and 30 mins weights, I earned it!
Well, I think I've wasted enough reading time! I have to keep working so I can take the pups to the park! Mom and B are coming Saturday so I'm sooooo excited!
A big shout out to one of my best friends L and her husband B on their 2nd beautiful baby!!! So glad he finally decided to say hello to the world! I can't wait to meet with them and my other best friend N and her new family at thanksgiving! My how our carpool group has grown!!!!
Well, it has been too long in between posts and I have lots of fun pictures to update! I have been very busy with school and pups, but I need to get better organizing these pictures. I'm going to put these up and then get in a long workout...school, dogs, house cleaning, and working out...that's my summer for you.
My Main Man
Splash Pad with the H family
N and I took the pups to a local brewery and Marley thinks its better to snorkel in her water bowl than to just drink from it! :)
Lilo was a little unsure of Marley at first, but they are becoming playmates!
Flik sunbathing in the back yard! (or surveying his kingdom, not sure which :)
Always nice to let them get energy out of themselves!
After a long first day of potty training for the H's, we thought they could use a wine night!
Lilo doesn't want to share, but she's trying!
We went to watch J play summer league frisbee and Marley thought she could take on any size dog!
Daddy's Girl
After spin class!
N and I out with the pups again at the park! Gotta get the energy out somehow!
Marley tries her best to keep up with her bigger cousins...not much longer at all
JW is a beach body coach and friend of mine who tagged me as someone who inspires her to workout everyday, so I decided I wanted to share the love with those who help keep me going too!
K (top left) is awesome about updating us on her journey and I am competitive, so it keeps me focused too! My cousin AD is amazing! She has always been fit, but recently decide to take it to a whole new level! She pushes me like crazy! JW of course, always inspiring her team! My Aunt R is a personal trainer and even though she has her hands full with 3 kids, she always looks awesome! 2nd row starts with my amazing friend and neighbor LA, she was blessed with twins girls and a son under 2 and seriously, you would never know she carried all that! She looks great and even with her busy household, we try to workout together as much as possible! SB is another Beachbody coach who sends out inspirational messages out everyday! Next, is the amazing Shaun T!!! I did Insanity and some of T25 and I absolutely love what he pushes my body to do! Last row, My cousin B(whose abs look freakin' sick) is so athletic it's ridiculous! And my friend D (since we started with his wife, we have to end here. Ha!) D has been in shape since we were children and he has always pushed me to rollerblade faster, bike longer, or just be beast like he is! I still can't match his running skills though!
I love working out, but these guys make it tons of fun together!
TJH taking pictures on my phone again! I delete like 100 of these every time I go next-door!
She forgets to act lady-like sometimes (well, always!).
I have such great help getting school done!
I am watching Marley for a LONG weekend and the H's pups Lucy and Ethel for Friday and Saturday, so we had a pack of 5 running around our house! Marley likes to find anything and everything to get into and Lilo is not far behind her! (Ethel, Lucy, and Flik would like to clarify they were no where near this situation! )
So peaceful for like 10 mins!
After Lucy and Ethel went home, J and I took 3 pups to the local brewery, but the line was so long J decided to skip the drinks and just watch the pups enjoy all the attention.
Marley still likes to lead Li around! She is already so much bigger than our first trip 2 weeks ago!
After the pups were exhausted and hot, we dropped them home and had a little date night! By little, I mean dinner, trip by his work, pet store and grocery store and then home! :) Hey, at least we got dinner together and not at 10 pm!
I'll work on taking more of the Mr. and I...Sorry, pups get all the photo attention! :)

Here's what I'm saying "so what" to this week...
So what if:
It's almost the end of wednesday, sorry guys, I've been on the computer all day catching up on school and it's awful time-consuming work.
I'm hungry all the time now that I started spin classes! I love it though!
I still haven't seen my hubby (unless I go to his work), he found out yesterday that the project he has been working on for the last 3 years worked! It's great news even if I don't understand anything more than something is transferring to something else and it should be one more unit than normal and it was...something like that. I'm really proud of him for pushing through all these long hours!
I finished the show Big Love and totally recommend it! I started watching because DK told me to, but I passed them (because I multitask while cleaning and working on the computer and have no other life) so now I'm waiting for them to finish the last season so I have someone to freakout with.
I will be spending lots of time in front of the tv the next few weeks 'cause the Tour de France started! It is the craziest test of strength, endurance, and will power I have ever seen! My longest ride was 170 miles in one day and they do over 100 a day for 3 weeks!!! My mind is just blown watching them crash and get back up and ride 90 more miles and then repeat again and again! If you're not into cycling, you should still check out NBC Sports channel to the the rides and the beautiful countryside they ride through!!!
I'm sad that N's puppy Marley is growing up WAY too fast! She is almost as tall as mine now!
Sorry guys! I have to run, but I will try to do a catch up post on pictures from parks and whatnot soon. Happy Hump Day!
🇺🇸Happy Independence Day America!!! And thank you to all the men and women who make it the free and awesome country it is!!!🇺🇸🎉
Hope you guys all get to spend some amazing family and friend time today and this weekend! Be smart about being on the road! Stay safe!
Our day revolved around the dogs and J's work (like every other day), but we had a blast doing it together!
After a slow morning with scandal 😉 and a quick run in the lab we hit the trails.
Second stop at work...
Waiting outside with the ticks! They were out in force! Dogs didn't find too many, but they sure found me!
Then a quick trip into this dog friendly store to pick up doggie life-vests for our next kayak trip!
Our Lillies finally bloomed! Late this year with the spring cold snaps!
Back to work, but this time it was a long one! We decided to go in for the night, 1 so that we could have some family time, but 2 so that Flik wouldn't be so scared! He really hates anything that even resembles fireworks so let's just say this is not his favorite holiday! We went to the lab because it has very thick windows I guess to protect all the very expensive and dangerous stuff inside. It worked like a charm! We didn't hear one firework the whole time! When we left just after 11 we heard them immediately and couldn't believe how quiet it was inside! So glad we could hide out and not worry about him stressing all night!
We had popcorn and watched scandal on the huge computer monitor! I finally got J addicted! 😁 We even blew up the air mattress that J keeps there for all the overnights he pulls!
All-in-all, great day and even though I have school work to do tomorrow, I'm excited for the rest of the weekend too! Daytona race tomorrow! 🏁🏁🏁
