Quick Catch Up!

Where does all the time go?! Ours days seem to be getting busier and busier. But I guess that's a good thing?  Anyways, here's rundown on the past few weeks. 

A few weeks ago I had Admin Team Training-without getting into too much detail about my job, because I know how much you all want to hear about it, we had a big training weekend the last full weekend in April. It was A LONG weekend. But it was awesome. and like the only weekend I have to work these days, so I really cant complain :D. I am site supervising two of our Duke TIP Summer Studies sites and got to meet the people I am going to be supervising this summer. I am site supervising UGA and Davidson. So it was nice to meet the people that had been hired, train them, and get to know the people I will be working with closely this summer. I think it went really well and it went super fast! Here are my teams:
Davidson
 UGA

The next weekend we went to Asheville! See my previous post about that :D

That Tuesday was Cinco De Mayo! Such a fun holiday. John and I were actually having bad days so we decided to go out to eat to celebrate instead of cooking at home. We ordered an appetizer of guac and they made it right in front of us- YUM!

Krystal knew I was having a bad day so she dressed the pups up and sent me 
pictures to cheer me up. haha. what are best friends for?
The next weekend John had to travel again- he left Thursday for Pinehurst. I drove down after work on Friday and we went out to eat with some of his coworkers and had a good time. Saturday morning he had to work, so I went and laid out at the pool! It was really nice and relaxing :D I love that I get to go with him sometimes! This time he stayed in a suite- it was super nice, but we didnt even end up using the living room. haha
Last week was just busy with work and such. I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and all my health results came back very positive! I need to lose weight (tell me something I dont know) but everything else was good. :D I had to fast until Noon so I was STARVING when I got back to work. We had a food truck outside that happened to be serving Cuban food, so I totally treated myself :D It did not disappoint.
This past weekend, we decided it was time to aerate our yard and plant grass seeds! Our yard is full of weeds and looks terrible. Something needed to be done about it and it was best time of year to plant Bermuda seeds- which is what we wanted. We rented an aerator with the Kinlaws (made it a lot cheaper!) and took turns aerating our yards. We were trying to do the whole yard once over before the sun went down on Friday. We finished the second direction on Saturday and then spread everything on Sunday. We ended up spending a lot of time in Lowe's on Saturday and it was BLAZING hot. So John finished aerating and we called it a night for yard work. Now we wait. and water. lots of water. SO. MUCH. WATER. our bill is going to be cray cray. Hopefully, the seeds take and start to grow. Otherwise, I'm not gunna lie- I'm gunna be pretty disappointed. We also got stones to line our flower beds with! They were on super sale, so we figured- why not? We are making the yard look nice anyways :D. I need to get a picture of them! It really makes the yard look manicured.

Other things- 

We have been doing lots of gardening over the past few weeks! There will be a separate post about that :D

-Revenge is over :( I am so sad by this. I loved that show SO much. I will miss all my "friends". What do they call it when you finish a book- a "book hangover?" I feel like that with this show. lol

-John and I started Dare Devil! It's pretty good too. It's nice to veg out and watch something mindless with him sometimes :D

-I started a new work out program too! (I know you're thinking- ANOTHER ONE?!). whelp, Krystal told me about it and I figured it couldnt hurt to try it! I like it a lot so far- it's called Daily Burn. Hopefully, this one will stick :D It's tailored to me and I was able to select 30 minute workouts- so it seems more manageable to me :D There is a 30 day free trial, so if it doesnt stick- no harm done. If it does and I like it- it's only $13 a month and well worth it.

-And lastly, last night we had a big HOA meeting and I am now vice-president! The  HOA was controlled by the builder until last night. He is about finished building our neighborhood and wanted out- so me and some of the neighbors got together and created a team to take it over and we were elected last night! :D I hope this will be a good thing. I just our neighborhood to be nice :D

Anyways, here is to the weekend! and to lots of rest! :D YAY 3 day weekends!!!
