Hi guys!  How was your weekend?  I usually start my weeks by recapping our weekend, but this weekend when I got around to organizing my pictures, I realized I had quite a few piled up from the last couple weeks so I decided to show those today instead.  My weekend recap will be up soon! 

A couple weeks ago my husband suggested sushi for dinner (he would eat it every day if he could) and I was in the mood to try a new place.  My husband said he had tried Samurai a while ago with my dad and loved it so we decided to try it out together.  They have a lot of unique rolls and they were all so delicious! 

Another delicious meal before a Preds game. 

When my mother-in-law was in town we took her to Bricktops and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals.  I got the tuna and it was so so sooo good!

I have been trying out some new recipes here and there and took a couple over to my mom’s house for a mother’s day lunch to enjoy by the pool. 

We have been getting in soo many walks in our new neighborhood and are loving it more and more by the day.  Similar to Dallas, our neighborhood in Nashville is very walkable, which we are really enjoying.  My husband is like that guy on the commercial that says he is never moving to the burbs. 🙂  I have to agree that living near the city and being able to walk to dinner, the park, the coffee shop, and other places is really fun and convenient.  I promise to show you pictures of our place once we get it all organized.  We are almost there!!

It really is nice being able to go to my mom’s on the weekends and use her pool. 😉  The company is pretty great too!

I’m so thankful for this hard working guy and all he does for our family.  Without him, I’m not sure where I would be. 🙂  

I hope you guys all had a lovely weekend!! I’m looking forward to a quick work week before we pack up the car (and pups) and head to the lake for our annual family reunion.  

Questions:

1. Best part of your weekend?
2. Any memorial day plans on the agenda?
3. What was the best thing you ate this weekend?

Hi friends!!! Back to the rest of our weekend!

Sunday morning after a home workout, we packed up the pups and headed to a new-to-us hiking trail just north of town.  We ventured out to Fontanel hiking trail for a quick 2 mile hike.  

I love well-marked trails! 🙂

Here we go!!  We went Sunday morning to beat the storms Sunday afternoon.  

The trail was pretty muddy, but we had fun running around in the woods with our doggies.  They were both pretty happy too. 🙂

Sunday afternoon while we watched the Nashville Predators beat the St. Louis Blues (!!!!), I meal prepped for the week.  I used lettuce from my momma’s garden that we picked up on Saturday.  I am usually pretty indifferent about lettuce, but wow… this stuff is sooo good.  

After making some salads for the week I made some homemade banana bread and dark chocolate peanut butter coconut bars!!  So yummy!! 

Does anyone else have a little doggie that loves to burrow?  We can always find Riley under a couch/blanket.  🙂

Off to go do some more organizing at the new house!  Talk to you all soon!

Questions:

1. Do you have a favorite walking/hiking trail?
2. What did you have for dinner last night?
3. Do you like to bake? 

Hi friends!  Happy Monday!! How was your weekend?? Mine was really good!  I am unusually happy and chipper for a Monday morning because I am just a little excited about moving into our new house later today!  We have had to push back our closing several times, but it should happen today or sometime this week.  We are still able to move into our house today as our movers were scheduled so we are very happy about that! 

This weekend was pretty productive and relaxing.  Let’s back up a bit to Friday.   One of my co-workers shared this sparkling water with me and it was pretty tasty.  It is very flavorful which was a nice change up from regular water.  

My husband loves to order from Uber Eats.  We usually only do one night out a week for dinner, but I worked late last week and my husband called in for back up since he was in charge of dinner. 🙂  He ordered from Eastern Peak and it was delicious!!  Uber Eats has helped us to discover new favorite restaurants so it is good when you are in a hurry or don’t want to cook.  

On Friday I met my momma and husband for a lunch date!  We went to Granite City and were all happy with our meals!  I love having lunch dates throughout the week to have something to look forward to.  

On Saturday after a quick workout and a walk in the park, we headed outside for some fun.  Did any of you play with sidewalk chalk when you were young?  I have so many childhood memories of playing with sidewalk chalk with my sister and getting sad when the rain would wash away our creations. 🙂  We decided to play 4 square and had so much fun making up different rules each round.  

Love this sweet boy. 

My husband is a kid at heart.  He loves riding my little brother’s scooter and playing with all of his games. 😉  Notice Riley running in the grass beside him… it is a great way to get our doggies all tired out. 🙂

This little guy just LOVES being outside.  His sister… she gets really excited about going outside… but then instantly is ready to come back in.  

She would rather just chill on the couch… with her tongue out. 😉

On Saturday night my husband and I took out my dad and brother for dinner to celebrate us moving into our new house this week and thank them for taking us and the dogs in for the last 3 months!  

We went to Peter’s for some sushi and thai food!  I got two sushi rolls and loved them both.  They were both so fresh and unique!

The movers are scheduled to come today and my mom is already at the new house getting things ready.  We are so excited and I will be sure to share pictures as we get things unpacked!!  I will be back tomorrow with the rest of our weekend recap!

Have a wonderful week!!
