(Long) Weekend Recap 7/1-7/4

I haven't done a weekend recap in a while, but I thought this long weekend would be the perfect time to start it up (and hopefully keep it up!).  We've got a mixture of camera and iPhone pics, and I think you'll get a pretty good idea of all the fun we had!

Friday was only a half day at work for me.  So we spend the afternoon at the movies seeing Transformers 3.

Saturday morning we went to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for some drinks and reading time.  I worked on my Bible in a Year and Husband is reading "Empire of the Rising Moon".

Husband took me to Chick-fil-a for lunch since he know I absolutely adore their sweet tea.  This was his first time eating there, so I felt it needed to be documented.

That afternoon I met up with some women from work for our monthly Bunko game.  I made cupcakes.

Sunday we headed north to Sedona.  

I found a cool antique store.  They had some fun (and weird stuff).

Then we had a picnic in the rain.  It was only drizzling, but it made me kinda cold.  I thought it was super fun and romantic.  We had sandwiches, potato salad, chips, and cupcakes.

After our picnic we headed up to Flagstaff.  We found an arts fair in a park that was fun to walk around.

Then we headed back home to 109* temperatures.  At least we escaped for a while!

Monday we went to see Larry Crowne (I forgot a picture of this one!)

That evening we grilled some hot dogs with some more leftovers.

All in all, it was a great weekend with the perfect balance of doing things and being lazy.  How was your holiday weekend?  Do anything super exciting?

May in a Nutshell

Seeing as I was MIA for most of April here are a few pictures to recap the month.

We went back to my hometown for Mother's Day and my Little Sisters graduation.
  I know you've heard before, but my sorority experience was completely and 100% worth every penny.

We went on an official date night

Which included painting ceramics 

Husband painted a cross and I painted a mug.

And dinner at Dave & Busters.

We also volunteered at Special Olympics.  What a great experience!

We spent the last week of the month on a cruise with my parents in Alaska.  Simply awesome!
We left from Seattle

 And stopped in Ketchikan

Made some new friends,

We visited Juneau,

Where we saw the Mendenhall Glacier,

 But not Russia,

 And our last Alaska stop was Skagway,

 Where we went to the summit of the Klondike

 Mommy and I even did a 5K, On Deck for the Cure, for breast cancer.

  

Before our final stop in Victoria, BC, Canada

 I had a great time spending time with some of my favorites and seeing more of this beautiful planet God entrusted to us.

April in a Nutshell

Seeing as I was MIA for most of April here are a few pictures to recap the month.

A quick trip to San Diego

Where we discovered these yummy cupcakes,

 Walked around Seaport Village

 Toured the Star of India,

 And a Soviet submarine,

  

Took a boat tour of the bay,

  

  And had a night out with friends,

 

We bought an iPad and iPhone, and officially got hooked on Angry Birds

We spent a long weekend at my parents house for Easter

 And I cut off about six inches of my hair!

We'll do a little May recap tomorrow. 

Our Addiction

Confession: Husband and I have a serious addiction.

A couple of weeks ago...we splurged a little and bought one of these

 

And now we are officially addicted to this game.  ADDICTED!

It brings out the worst in me.  I'm not one to use curse words, however this game get me swearing like a sailor.  But it's fun...now if only I could control my mouth!

Leaving on a Jet Plane

  Yesterday afternoon I left on a very exciting trip.  Here's a teaser for you...

Who wants to guess where I am?  I promise to tell you when I get back plus share lots of pictures with you!  Hopefully I'll have fabulous ones!! 

Weekend Recap 3/19-20

This weekend Husband and I went to my first Spring Training game.  Since my family in Texas are all huge Rangers fans and they did so well last season, they were my choice to go watch.  Admittedly I am not a baseball fan, but I felt like Spring Training should be on a Phoenix bucket list. 

 

I was hoping that I would be able to get some sun...but it was unseasonably cool and overcast.

 

 The Rangers were playing the Mariners.  After being ahead until the 8th inning, they gave up trying and the Mariners ended up winning.  Bummer...

And we saw this awesome dude with an awesome visor with the awesome fake hair.  It was awesome!!

Sunday we met some of my sorority sisters for lunch.  They're in town visiting for their first weekend of Spring Break.  It was lots of fun, especially since I met one sister I'd never met before, but she'd heard of me.  The legacy of being Greek is so great!  After lunch we went to see "The King's Speech".  What an extraordinarily good movie!  So glad it won an Oscar along with Colin Firth.

 

Hmmm...maybe for my next weekend recap, I should take more pictures.  I'll work on it.  Anyways, how was your weekend?  Do anything exciting?  

Hope you have an awesome week!
