Scenes from the Weekend: March 2014

March 10, 2014 | Uncategorized

We had an absolutely beautiful weekend here in the south. Temps in the upper 60’s/low 70’s and mostly sunny. It truly is amazing how much my mood lifts when the weather is nice!

I took advantage Saturday and went for a 3 mile run. It felt so good to be running outside in a tank top in the sunshine, I think I smiled most of the way.

We were also able to get some work done outside. I bleached the back patio and front sidewalk, and Bobby did some weed pulling and bush trimming in the back yard. It’s not all done yet, but looking so much better!

Bella gets mad when she can’t see over the fence and we are looking over.

We also took the dogs on nice long walks, toured the new St. Jude Dream Home in our neighborhood, and just sat outside chatting. Sunday evening we BBQ’ed in the back yard, enjoying the extra hour of daylight.

It was a great weekend, and I can’t wait for more sunny, warm day!

QOTD: What did you do this weekend? How is the weather where you live?

    We had another cold snap on Saturday but things are warming up. I really hope spring weather is here to stay for a while.

    Well your weather is better than ours here in Minnesota. I did enjoy a 6 mile run in 40 ish degrees. That felt great after sooo much cold. Ready for real spring

    We had a beautiful weekend in central Florida, too. Started the day with a short run and then made it to MK on Sunday for Dapper Day and the premiere of the Festival of Fantasy parade.

    I agree…the weather was amazing this weekend on the Gulf Coast! Today is gorgeous too! It’s definitely starting to feel like spring!

    Upper 60’s/low 70’s and sun? Sounds perfect. Out here in LA, we were in the lower 80’s. It made for a pretty warm Los Angeles Marathon day. Glad I wasn’t running in the marathon! I think winter decided to skip an appearance in Los Angeles this year.

    I spent the weekend teaching my 10 year old how to write in cursive. Yeah, it was about as fun as it sounds. Actually, he did much better than I thought he would. I did get a good almost 6 mile run in that felt much better than my previous after-Princess runs. I’m in FL, so it was absolutely beautiful here too.

    So jealous of you weather, though it has been warm here in PA (40-50). Looks like you had a wonderful weekend!

BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 I drove the same Toyota 4Ru BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 

I drove the same Toyota 4Runner for 14 1/2 years. Last October, we got a good deal on a Highlander platinum with 10,000 miles on it from @foxtoyota. 

The only problem is, I wanted the Grand Highlander platinum, because it has way more cargo room, legroom, and some other features that the regular Highlander doesn’t have. I thought that’s what we were getting, but it wasn’t available and we ended up with the regular Highlander, which don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful for after driving the same car for so long.

However, as the months went on, the differences were very noticeable, especially with how much we travel and the lack of space. Without me knowing, Bobby had been doing research and working with the wonderful folks at Fox, and was able to find us a brand new Grand Highlander platinum. 

He had hoped it would arrive for my birthday, but it was a couple weeks late, which was totally worth it. He’s usually really bad at surprising me (my 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out.) so I was truly in shock and speechless when I came home and this new car, which we named Ruby, was in the garage!

@bobbymontg may not be the most romantic guy, but he shows his love in ways that he knows I appreciate. Best birthday gift ever! 🩷

While grabbing a few things at Walgreens, I picked up a Kohl’s gift card and turned it into the cutest teacher gift — a mason jar wrapped in ribbon, full of pencils with a tag that says “This year is going to be on point.” 🎯 

It’s simple, thoughtful, and super practical — because who doesn’t love a gift they can actually use? 

Walgreens makes it so easy to grab @incommpayments gift cards for everyone on your back-to-school list — from teachers to even yourself (because let’s be real, moms need a win too 😉).
