End of Summer


Things are slowing down a bit as we're nearing the end of summertime. Our teacher friends are back to school, family members are back from summer trips and snocone stands will almost be out of season. Sadly, I only had one so far this summer but looks like I have a few weeks until summer is officially over.

However, the great thing about living in Texas is that our summers typically stay around for a little longer than most and I'm completely okay with that :)

Although summer may be coming to a close, traveling season for my job starts soon as we host two healthcare events in addition to attending partner organizations' conferences. Heath will also be busy as Y fall sports start so his Saturday mornings and afternoons will be pretty much booked. Next thing you know, the holidays will be here!

Not much to share on this post, but Heath is still begging me for a dog (no way), I made mashed potatoes out of cauliflower for the first time (yum) and we tried our first Body Pump class at the Y (easy for Heath, death for me). My little brother also starts college next week so there's that. Time does not stop.

Have a great weekend!! Now catching up in pictures...
Spent part of my vacation week with my favorite kids
The life-size bear from Costco did not go home with us
My little mermaid and merman
They're obsessed with googles
Lego movie and popcorn @ Auntie Mimi & Uncle Heef's
Awesome salad I put together from Central Market
My grandma post-surgery (back problems) w/ a thumbs up sign
I wish I could eat this right now!
Elsa came to my niece's 4th birthday party
She's still cute even though she gave herself bangs ;)
Birthday girl
End of summer community group girls dinner - back to our couples study soon
Just hanging out on Grapevine Main St. with my favorite guy
Card night with grandma
Made the best turkey patties w/ homemade tzatiki sauce & quinoa salad
My sweet friend Amy came for a weekend and Costco sample stations were our war zones - I was not messing around
Walked down Grapevine Main St. and saw this funny sign outside of my favorite wine place :)
Second time to have these eggs benedict at a local breakfast place on Main St. (you can tell I love Grapevine Main St.!)
First time to check out the Farmers Market
Some of the stuff were on steroids! Seriously had the biggest peaches I've ever seen
Sweaty @ the snoball stand
Amy thought Body Pump was "fun" - wish I had the same mindset
Chicken roll-ups and sweet potato mash
Uptown Dallas
Luckily we weren't falling asleep at 11 pm waiting on our friends like last time. We do these every now and then to prove we're not old, married people that can't hang anymore :)
Summer breakfast quinoa bowls

Said goodbye to Dakota :( She moved to Florida so I can't wait to visit!

Until next time,
