Beach Trip!

Keith & I went to the beach this week with two of our friends. We left Sunday evening & came home this morning. The hotel we stayed at was RIGHT on the beach, & only $70 a night! Since its during the off season their prices were half price! We've been checking the weather all week, & the chance of rain kept getting higher & higher. On Sunday we checked the 18 hour forecast & it showed that if was going to rain every single hour until 9 Monday night. BUT GUESS WHAT! It was sunny! We had a wonderful day at the beach & then after we went to dinner & came home an incredible storm passed through. The storm was so pretty, & then it was gone & we were able to go to the pool! It was a short trip, but I definitely needed it!

Wedding obsession

I am so wedding obsessed right now! Ever since I helped with a wedding last month I cannot get weddings off my mind. 

It's not just me though! Last week we had girls night & literally spent an hour just talking about our future weddings. 

Obviously I'm not going to get to plan my wedding for a while, but it never hurts to be prepared!

Here's some pictures I've seen on Pinterest that really inspire me:

Of course I want to have a typical southern wedding, whatever! 

My dream wedding would be at my grandma's house in Florence, and luckily that's very cost efficient! She's even going to let me wear her wedding dress! Now all I need is someone to propose to me with an antique ring that belonged to their grandma! 

I just can't wait to get married!

Cheesecake!

I know I failed to post on Tuesday, but this week has really been hard for me. All of the recent tragedies in Boston & Texas have frazzled me a bit, & on top of that I've been worried about my grandpa. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone wants to say a little prayer or send some positive energy his way!

On Monday I went out to my Abuelita's house in Florence & she helped me make a cheesecake!
If you know my grandma, then you know she makes the best cheesecake. She showed me her "Cheesecake Life Lessons" sheet, which she made for a cheesecake demonstration she did. We had such a good time laughing & goofing off, & the cheesecake was a success! I brought some to work & one of my employees told me I'd found my calling! I'm going to try & make one on my own soon & hopefully it will be just as good!

Greek yogurt

I love it!!!
Tonight I tried substituting sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
It tastes just like sour cream, but then a tiny bit better!
I love it, I love it!

Yoga

Since I'm working on managing my time better, I'm designating Tuesdays for blog updates.

I would love to update more than that, but just for now expect a new post each Tuesday.

This past week I've made time for yoga every single day!

On days that I go into work early I've been doing it when I get home, & the days I'm off or go in late I do it in the morning. 

I AM SO SORE!

It's kindof embarrassing how sore I am, but other than that I feel great!

Every night that I come home & do yoga after work I feel instantly relaxed, & when I do it in the morning I feel energized & ready to take on the day!
Doing yoga has also inspired me to start eating better! I'm working on putting together little meals & snacks to keep me from binging on candy & crap throughout the day.

I've started following lots of yoga & healthy eating accounts on instagram to keep me motivated, and it seems to be helping!
