Festive-ness

 

Tuesday already?!? Does everyone feel extra spry after a 3 day weekend? I know I loved having hubby home for the extra day. Makes a ton of difference if you ask me! In case you missed some weekend posts because you were BBQing or shooting out people’s eyes with fireworks, you can catch up below:

Also, as promised, here are some fun and festive pictures from yesterday. First, the shoes I pull out every year! I wore these babies proudly to church yesterday morning.

holy cuteness! I have had these bad boys since high school, but I love ‘em.

Then after church we went to a BBQ in our neighborhood. Check out the festiveness:

Running Skirt’s strappy tank in Midnight and red dot sweaty band. Great for a par-tay!

Check out my super cute American flag pin!

Don’t I just scream soccer mom? It’s going to be fun, guys, one day when I do have little mini-me’s!

Also, can I brag about the awesomness that is my husband? Saturday after we went out to eat we stopped at the sporting goods store and bought a tent for the beach, and then he said he wanted to go “look around” Best Buy. Folks, I go through this A LOT. The boy is obsessed with video games. Anyway, he was sneakily trying to let me pick out my nook color and a case for my birthday. Recently when I found out you can check e mail, websites, and blogs on the nook color, I really wanted one b/c lugging my laptop around when I fly gets really annoying and heavy. Well, we started looking, then I spotted the iPad 2 which is super cool. Then a guy started helping us and explained there is a tablet that is way cooler than the iPad2 and cheaper, and he wanted us to look at it.

Why is the acer iconia so cool? Well, it has flash player, and, AND a full size USB hook up and HDMI hook up. SWEET! I was playing with it while Bobby was drilling the kid on the specs, and the kid said “let me know if I can help any more or grab one for you” and Bobby said “ya, get on for me” WHAT?!? OMG! So, happy birthday to me! I now have a tablet! It’s really cool and I love it so far! My hubby is awesome.

say hello to my little friend.

So, basically, he wanted to get me my nook early so I could be downloading books to take to the beach next week, and we ended up walking out with my Iconia instead. I am a happy girl, and a lucky one, too. he spoils me.

I have more festiveness to share with you tomorrow, we had some friends over for a BBQ of our own last night! Stay tuned! Oh, I also have a recipe to share! Maybe tomorrow? MAYBE!

Yesterday at the gym I did legs, tri’s, and chest, as well as 20 minutes on the bike.

QOTD: What is the best birthday gift you have ever gotten? Getting a new 4runner last year was pretty sweet if I do say so myself.
