Week Favorites

A little late..but I was off Friday so it wasnt going to happen, so it's week favorites this week! haha

1) Thursday/Friday off- I had a half day Thursday and all of Friday off (I had worked the weekend before, so I chose those days off to make up for it) John had them off too, so we got to spend a lot of time together. Those are always the best :D Especially since we dont get them that often.

2) House- Our house is coming together! We snuck into it on Thursday and they had put in the floors (except carpet), the dishwasher, microwave, faucets, light fixtures, the garage door. and poured the cement for the patio. We are getting SO excited. We had some more issues with our loan last week- not a favorite, but it's fixed now and it's actually better than before :D God works in mysterious ways. haha. 

3) Revenge- Revenge has been back for awhile and I am just so excited. I LOVE that show :D I've also started to watch Betrayal that comes on after it. SO good. Walking Dead is back too! I think I watch too much tv...lol

4) A Midwifes Confession- I just started and finished reading this book! My boss recommended it and it was really good. I could barely put it down. Very few books have me up late at night reading and this one did twice! I look forward to reading more of Diane Chamberlain's books!

5) Birthday money- I went and spent some of my birthday money this week :D I really needed some new shirts, so that's always fun :D

6) Meal Planning- Once we move into our new house, I'll have MUCH more of a commute. Meaning, I'll actually have one. haha. Ill go from walking to work in 3 minutes, to driving 40 minutes each way..yikes. Totally worth it to have a house though! Anyway, I know I'll need to start taking some time on Sundays to prepare dinner for the week. So, I started to practice this week and hopefully it will help me get in the habit! Up this week: Sausage Potato Bake, Baked Rigatoni with ranch, Chicken Enchiladas, Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls, and Hotdogs w/ Twice baked potatoes. It only took me about 2 hours to make everything and that includes clean up! So that's not bad- and its been a HUGE help to already have dinner ready every night!! This is something I must continue to do.

7) More houses!- My sister and her husband just bought a house too! They are actually moving in this weekend and the next! :D

8) Laundry- I know this sounds dumb, but I dominated the laundry this week. I finished everything AND ironed everything! It took forever. Now if only I can keep up with it and the ironing, it shouldnt be as big of a pain.

9) Running- y'all know I have big plans to run a 10k and a half marathon. Well I finally sat down yesterday and did out a schedule to get me there. It will take me to the end of March. HUGE commitment. The half marathon is April 13, so I have a little wiggle room in case something happens. I really would like to stick with this plan and hopefully I can. Who knows what life will throw at me between now and then, but the plan now is to stick it out :D

Anyway, I think that's it for now! Have a great week everyone!
