Super Bowl Sunday

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I decided to sleep in today and am planning on going for a run later this afternoon. Hopefully around 30min or so. It is just gorgeous out today!

In the meantime, I have been enjoying some Dunkin Donuts "Old Fashioned Donut" coffee while reading blogs. I could get used to this type of Sunday morning.  Normally I am rushing out the door to church, but I decided to catch a 5pm service at my church last night and loved it!  I think I will make this a regular part of my schedule more often.

 

I am also loving this "new-to-me" website called Houzz.com

There are some great home renovation ideas on here!  I love this!  

 

So far it's been a nice weekend! 



This past Friday night, Bryan and I decided to go on a date night.  We have both been so busy with work/home renovations that we needed some time for just us.  It ended up being a great night- we were able to just hang out and laugh together, which was so needed.

 

We also made brownie sundaes and watched the movie "Playing For Keeps" with Jessica Biel.

Although I love Jessica Biel as an actress, I do have to wonder why she chose this role.  She was good in the movie, but the plot was lacking a bit. Oh well, classic chick flick I guess ;-)

 

Today I am making the most of the sunny, 80s weather.

As you can see, our back pool area still has a lot of work to be done- but it looks 10 times better than it did a month ago.

February is the month we are finally going to get some gorgeous landscaping put in. I can't wait!  Imagine palm trees and bamboo shoots!  YES! So glad we put in new screen so we can actually enjoy it.

Well, I am off for a run!  I am going to be catching the game downtown later tonight.  Have a great Super Bowl Sunday!

Question:
What's your favorite Super Bowl party snack? What are you making this year?

I decided to try my hand at coleslaw for the first time. Despite popular beliefs, there are actually a lot of healthy options out there (its all about the dressing you use) and I bought a coleslaw spice mix that will make it delicious no matter what, lol. how do I know?  First ingredient - SUGAR. (okay maybe it wont be that healthy after all, when-in-Rome)

Father's Day 2013 Recap

Happy Monday!  Here's re-cap of our Father's Day yesterday: Yesterday was so fun! We got to sleep in a bit and decided to go to the 10:30am service at church. 
Ethan was all dressed up un his cute little sweater vest!

I love his smile!  So cute!

I love my parent's church. It is smaller in size so it was nice to catch up with everyone afterwards while drinking a quick cup of coffee.  They coffee they serve is actually from a organic coffee mission called Java Mission. The coffee is amazing! 




Isn't my nephew cute?  I though it was fitting to post a picture with him and his daddy on Father's Day.




I can't get enough of my nephew! 



He is definitely at the age where he loves to explore!
After church we went out for brunch at "The Breakfast Club." 

I had never been there before and found it to be delicious!


My sister and her fiancé

The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting.  

 

I was excited to see that they had a "Healthy Start" section on the menu and opted for the "personal favorite" egg white veggie omelet with a side of fruit and English muffin.

It was really good!  After brunch, my sister, mom, and I went to purchase her wedding dress.  We finally decided on "the one!"  It is stunning!  I can't wait to share it with you all on her special day ;-)



After our shopping adventure, my mom and I went to Publix to pick up steaks and sides for our special Father's Day dinner.  When we got home, this little guy greeted us!

 

Before dinner, my mom and I also went on a 30min run on a newer trail she had been telling me about.  I forgot to take a picture, but it was nice and scenic.

I also stopped to pick up my Father's Day card to give to my dad at dinner.

 

 

He said he liked it! At the end of the night, after our delicious meal, I walked down the hallway and snapped a quick photo of Ethan and his daddy reading a story before bed. 

 



So sweet!  I cannot wait to have kids one day. I know Bryan will be such an amazing father.  But I also know I want to wait a little longer. ;-)

Hope you are having a great Monday so far!

Today's Workout:

I woke up extra early in Orlando and got in a quick run at the gym before heading home to work in South Florida.

I ran 5 miles at 7:53min pace.  Nice and Steady run, all while watching Hollywood True Story on E!
