I love weekends!

Sorry I'm so late for posting- it was a fun and busy weekend!

I finally feel like I have a concept of how magical weekends are, now that I am not working them (or at least not working full weekends, only Saturdays). Especially 3 day weekends!

This weekend I ...

Drank yummy coffee

Went to J. Crew with my sister and our new personal shopper

Weekend Rewind

I had a fabulously productive weekend. I'm still high on endorphins and pure bliss. 

Brandon's best friend Evan just graduated pharmacy school and is moving to Memphis. Yay! He came to stay with us this weekend to go apartment hunting. We took him to dinner at one of our newest restaurant on our 2 favorite restaurants rotation, Las Delicias. 

Jeans, Shirt, Necklace and Shoes- J.Crew
Bag- Kate Spade
Matching Mint headband (not pictured but my new favorite) - J.Crew

This is what I came up with when I had exactly five minutes to get out of my scrubs and get ready. I would say that two hungry boys weren't willing to wait long, but honestly I'm a just a get-ready-in-five-minutes kind of girl.

Saturday morning, I went for a run and a short bike ride to get a few errands done. This was the first time I've ever run in shorts successfully, but it worked because these shorts have built-in compression-type shorts underneath for extra coverage. Love. Need 5 pair. 

Do you love how I managed to tell you the story of the temperature and what I had for breakfast in this one picture? It was 83* and you can barely see the edge of my cereal bowl. 

Dress- J.Crew on clearance!

Even eventually woke up and we went for a late lunch at the only other restaurant we frequent, R.P. Tracks. The boys goofed off while I got ahead on a few work things for the week. The exercise and productivity that happened this day was phenomenal. 

But then... I had time left over to spend a few hours with my sweet little Annie Ruth. 

And the amount of non productive lounging around that happened Sunday was even more amazing. I tried to work out, and I guess technically I did, but not for long. Did a little online shopping, then Kelly and Anniston came over to see how Anniston liked our pool- this girl is gonna be a swimmer for sure!

I was going to attempt another run Sunday night but a storm was on the way, so I decided to watch a movie with my hubby instead.

It was a nearly perfect weekend! 

Weekend Rewind

Guess what? My last post was last week's Weekend Rewind!..... It was a busy week, I worked 50 hours. Again. Nothing exciting here.

But my weekend was pretty fun.... read on!

Brandon was out of town all weekend. He finished his finals earlier this week, and went to visit his family and friends in middle Tennessee.

My good friend Melaina came to see me, (she actually came in town for a residency conference, but also to see me) and we stayed up late Friday night watching Grey's Anatomy and talking about pharmacy, pharmacists, and how good life is. It was just like the old days!

The good old days, as previously mentioned. We were on the White Coat Ceremony Red Carpet!

Saturday, my Mom and my Grandmother came to visit us. Kelly and I went ahead and gave them their Mother's day presents.

Of course, we had to go outside for a little picture session! After spending time at the house, we had a yummy lunch at Jason's Deli- one of our favorites!

Saturday night, I got to babysit Anniston while Kelly and Brandon went on a date. We had so much fun playing, and I got to rock her to sleep, which is always my favorite. 

Sunday morning, we had a little photo shoot with Anniston. Part 1 of 3, probably. More details later- but just know it's gonna be amazing!

The rest of the day Sunday, we just played with Anniston, edited pictures, and relaxed. 

We decided to give Anniston a bath outside so we could all enjoy the beautiful weather- and she enjoyed it thoroughly!

Now, I'm just enjoying my final moments with the house and the bed to myself before Brandon comes home tomorrow. I kind of enjoy being able to watch whatever I want and spread out when I sleep. But after a day or two, I'd much rather have him by my side even if I have to watch Star Trek and share the bed with him and two furry creatures.

Weekend Rewind

It's been a long, but wonderful week starting my new job. I was telling one of my friends from my old store last night- I don't remember the last time I slept until my alarm went off for an entire week. Usually I'm up way before then, stressing or worrying about something ridiculous. It's been nice to have that stress lifted and put those things behind me, even if there are new stresses (but exciting ones) about starting my new job. 

This weekend was short and sweet for me. I picked up an overtime shift on Saturday to make some extra money- I've been enjoying my bike so much, I want to eventually upgrade to another one that is super fast. 

On Saturday while I was at work, Brandon found our long-lost cat, Boo-Boo, who you can read about here. We still can't believe it!

Sunday, by default, was my lazy day. It was awesome. I slept in, watched Hulu Plus, and relaxed all morning. In the afternoon, I went over to Kelly's to see Anniston and my parents. Kelly has a few pictures from the afternoon here. 

Kelly and I decided to go for a bike ride, and ended up riding for a little over an hour! Thank goodness, because I needed some exercise. When we got back, we were starving, so we headed to Swanky's for dinner. 

Don't you love how my mom is looking at some random object 10 feet to the right of me for no reason? I love that too. Love how easy it is to get a good picture of these two. {insert sarcasm}

After dinner, I headed promptly back to my bed to continue my day of laziness. More Hulu Plus was involved, and then a long, wonderful night of sleep. Sleeping until my alarm went off, again.  I could get used to this!
