Hello Hello! Happy Saturday!
No matter what Saturday is always my favorite day. We always start the morning with a trip to the gym, then relax, shower, and head out for usually our only real date night of the week.
Our date nights are a bit shorter now with all the studying Wes has to do but I still look forward to it so much!
I went to the gym Friday morning for a cross training day.
I started spinning – stopped after 20 minutes. I started walking around the track – stopped after 15 mins. I just couldn’t get into being there.
I stretched and did some form drills and left. I don’t know if it was laziness or my body’s way of telling me that I needed a break, but I went home. There is always tomorrow!
This little gem got delivered to our house today.
Wes came in 6th in his age group!
It has the plaque on the outside and then a commemorative coin on the inside.
I thought it was really nice and I prefer it over the plaques he has gotten in previous years. I am a proud wife!
I did finally get around to getting up our Christmas tree yesterday.
We got it in the house last night, but I didn’t get to working on it until this morning.
I put the lights on it and then waited for my husband to stop studying so we could finish the ornaments together.
This pretty girl is really enjoying having it up!
This is the final product. I love it. There is just something about once the tree goes up that really puts me in the holiday spirit!
We really won’t be able to relax or plan our Christmas until after Wes takes his test on December 16h, but still it is a start!
We are heading to the gym this morning and I get to do another “run.” Keeping my fingers crossed they keep going well!
I always get so excited the night before my “run” days because I can’t explain how much joy even these short little runs bring to me. After over 3 months of no running even the shortest run makes me feel like me again.
Finally, Wes showed me this video last night of a guy and his daughter singing “Somebody That I Used to Know.” It’s so awesome and will make you smile!
What are you up to this Saturday?
We are thinking about seeing a movie tonight – any suggestions!?
Braving the cold for a run and play time at the park for my daughter. We have been cooped up inside, staying warm, for two days and are both losing our minds from lack of fresh air. Catching Fire was really good, as long as you went to the first one. Hope the run goes well!
I was thinking about Catching Fire…we will see if I can convince the husband 🙂
Enjoy your morning play time!!
I feel the same way once the tree is up. Love how Zoe curls up underneath the tree, our Stella does the same. We’re on our way to Ottawa for the weekend to visit the Big’s, I miss them and won’t be able to see them until after Christmas.
Hope your morning at the gym is great. Happy Saturday!
Enjoy your trip! 🙂
Definitely agree that having the tree kicks things off – which is also why we wait until after Black Friday, so we can at least pretend to stave off Christmas for a bit 🙂 Good luck on the run!
Enjoy date night – given yourselves the gift of time is really important, it gets easy to always have something else that gets in the way.
Good luck on your run!!! And have a great date night.
Thank you Megan!! Enjoy your weekend!
Some days you’re just not meant to run, today hopefully is a different story! Catching Fire is still on our list to see, other than that I have no idea what’s playing!
It was a different story today! 🙂 Thank you!
I think that is going to be the movie I request to see if we end up going! We will see the husband isn’t feeling too good right now!
It’s -10 here so my day might include an indoor workout!
I was definitely indoors today too Lynn and it is only 22 here! I can’t imagine -10!
Saturdays are always the best! We’re spending the day in and then going out tonight for pizza and looking at Christmas lights! 🙂 If you haven’t seen Catching Fire yet you should totally go! Its amazing!
That sounds like such a fun evening!
Everyone keeps recommending it to me and I’ve been wanting to see it – hopefully I can convince the husband! 🙂
At least you got to the gym and made an attempt. Sometimes your body knows best. I just put my lights up today too. No Christmas tree, but the lights are good enough for me. I’m going to see Dallas Buyers Club tonight. I’m a huge movie buff and like to see all the Oscar-y type movies out this time of year.
I really want to see the Dallas Buyers Club as well! We actually opted to not go to a movie tonight because my husband needed to study, but hopefully once this test is over in a week or so we can catch up on movies! We haven’t been to a movie in FOREVER!
hey just dropped by your blog and i really like it! I’ve already put the xmas tree up as well and am just counting down the days till xmas! I love saturdays. No school. No work. Just relaxing:)
