Thankful Week # 1

I just absolutely love this concept. Thanks to those of you who do this already, allowing me to steal the idea from you. Muahahaha!

This week I have so much to be thankful for, so here goes..

....my wonderful husband for being both overly-athletic and a hard worker. Not only did the guy hit a homerun, pitch well in two different baseball games (neither of which I went to...whoops!), but he worked a football camp and morning strength and conditioning camp all week.

....a generous landlord. Our AC has been on the fritz lately and I really don't like to live in a house that randomly goes up to 85 degrees when the AC is set on 70. Alan called him, and he agreed to have someone come to check it out, fix our back door and our backyard fense, which are both in dire need of some repair. yippee!

....getting up an hour early on Wednesday morning to practice my yoga. There is something so rejuvenating about joga in the wee-hours of the morning. It also felt great to do something before work for a change.

....a weekend spent with good friends. My college roommate, bestie, and bridesmaid came to visit with her boyfriend last Friday. We ventured to the River Walk and then went to float the river with our ol' college organization on Saturday. It was so great to see everyone since I hadn't seem them since last year's float!

....running. I honestly forgot how much I like to run. This past week I only hit the pavement twice, but it felt great and I realized that I had truely missed that "me" time. If only I wasn't more athletic than that labrador...Dragging him up a hill towards the end of the run is not my ideal situation.

....rain! That's right!! It rained two days in a row here! I think we are all still jumping for joy. Here's to more rain next week!

Happy Friday, friends! Catch ya later ;)

I'm back!

After following (and falling in love with!) 4 fitness/healthy lifestyle blogs for about two weeks, I briefly comtemplated reorganizing my own blog into something similiar since I am really into living a healthy lifestyle. Once I figured out that am I no Tech-freak and know nothing about re-designing my page, I snapped back into reality and quickly changed my mind. Plus I don't have many recipes or workouts of my own to share (I like to copy those of whom I follow!)

Instead, I am going to attempt to capture our fast-paced life day-by-day, which will some times include food, fitness and fun, which I love!

Another new thing I want to start doing is "thankful fridays." Stay tuned for tomorrow's post!

I'm baaaackkk!

The Ides of March (Birthday dinner #3)

Today was a pretty great day! I got to sleep in a bit and Alan made breakfast (pancakes and half an omelet..oh yeah!). I went downtown for a compliance training seminar deal (I got a company credit card!) and then went to lunch at Kona Grill with the fabulous Ashley Hill.. I also snuck in some quick work clothes shopping-two new pencil skirts, one pair of pants and a new top.

The afternoon at work was crazy busy, but went by super fast! For dinner, I met the in-laws and the gang for dinner at Saltgrass and had some more wonderful food. I got some great gifts and was happy to be with the fam.

All-in-all, great day :)

Puppy Love

Because I haven't posted a pic of the blondie in so long. :)

Birthday Dinner #2

Morning Yoga. Much needed haircut and highlights. Shopping with mom at La Cantera on a beautiful afternoon. 2 new pairs of shoes and a Betsy Johnson Watch. Mexican food.



Sounds like the PERFECT mother-daughter date to me. I'm so blessed. :)

Birthday dinner #1

It's time for the annual March Hill birthdays!! Newest addition? ME! Grandma Hill, Glenn numero tres and myself all have birthdays within days of each other so why not celebrate together in style at none other than THE Alamo Cafe.

Almost every birthday dinner I've ever had was spent at Alamo Cafe. I used to beg my parents to take me and it was the one time I could get my Dad into the place (he wasn't a fan..said the place was not "authentic" enough for him). When I started dating Alan and found out about his family's love for the A-Cafe, I knew I was in the right place! And now, with living right down the street from the place, it is not uncommon to find us there at least once a week. ha!
