The one where I skipped the gym to blog instead…

First of all…you’re welcome. I mean…really, I’m totally skipping the gym for you guys…
{did you just believe that? Good then…moving on.}
How has it already been one whole week since the last time I logged into le’ old blog? Seriously…where did last week go?
I don’t even have any “work was slammed” type of excuse. 
I suppose I just got caught up in…life.
Tuesday & Wednesday are so long ago I don’t remember anything about them…
Thursday was my dad’s birthday so my lunch break was spent running errands for his birthday dinner. Kristen came down and made a great dinner and we followed it up with ice cream cake. Rylee had so much fun playing with Grandad and Auntie Tisten. It was nice just hanging out with the family. 
Friday was a gorgeous day in the good old Willamette Valley. And in my infinite wisdom, I decided that instead of going to the gym on my lunch break, I’d go for a run…outside…one the first real nice day of the season…in the grass seed capital of the world…without taking any allergy medicine. It was about as awesome as that sounds. I was miserable for the rest of the day and super sore to boot. Road running kicked my fanny, folks.
Saturday morning I was up bright and early for a yoga class at the gym. I seriously love me some yoga. Later that day we headed into town to pick up some garden-goodness from Grammy’s house. The in-laws came over for dinner. We hadn’t seen them for nearly 3 weeks as they were out enjoying retirement or something…
Sunday morning I made a mad dash to the grocery store for some speed shopping. Got home, put away the groceries and we all jumped in the car to meet Julia and Spencer for brunch. After brunch, which of course ended with them giving Ry a bag of “potty treats”, we headed home to change our clothes and go outside! Aside from Ry’s quick 1 hr nap, we literally spent the entire rest of the day outside! We weeded the garden, planted trees our front and in our ever-expanding “orchard”, I started some broccoli, carrots, onions, rhubarb, artichoke and potatoes in the garden. I am SO ready to get in and get the rest of the garden planted!
We wrapped up Sunday night eating one of the best meals I have ever made {insert humble brag comment here}. Seriously though…it was so good. I made FROM SCRATCH shredded beef enchiladas. It took about 3 1/2 hours from start to finish and so worth it! Also? so begins the weekends of not eating until almost 8 PM just so we can be outside for as long as possible. {Next time I make it I will take pics and post the recipe}
Today? I am tired…oh so tired…I forgot how hard/tiring yard work is on your body. I also forgot out exhausting working in the sun can be. And, apparently so did Rylee…
This is how I found her when I went to make sure she was covered up before going to be last night…really kid?
How was your weekend!?
Also? Happy Monday…
