Weekending: 4th of July Recap

It's Monday so you know what that means….linking up with the lovely Biana and Meghan!

Weekending

Whew! To say I'm exhausted would be an understatement!  4 days of being at the lake with Michigan's family is so fun but it's literally non-stop.  In 1 cottage we had myself, Michigan, Michigan's dad and stepmom, his sister Bridgette, her husband, their 4 kids, his other sister Taylor, her boyfriend, and their dog!  Yes that's right, 12 people and 1 dog!  The cottage is actually next door to his uncle's cottage and they had a full house too.

























What a view, huh?

The parent's decided at the last minute to sign up for the 4th of July parade so we rounded up all of the kiddos and had them pass out candy while we road in the company trucks.  I love parades!




































































Michigan's uncle throws an annual 4th of July party and last year's event was when I met his whole family for the 1st time.  This year I was a little more comfortable and had a great time chatting with the neighbors and watching the fireworks show.  Unfortunately, I was so caught up chatting with everyone that I didn't get 1 single picture #bloggerfail.

It was such a fun weekend and I always love time with Michigan's family.

This week I am spending time getting re-focused on my fitness/health goals.  I have been slacking off majorly on the gym this summer and it is time to get my booty back in shape (literally)!  I sat down today and got a workout plan together for this week:

I also made this BLT Chopped Salad for lunch this week plus Michigan and I will be busting out the grill for some light healthy dinners.  Stay tuned to see if those recipes were Pinterest wins or fails!

Happy Birthday 'Merica

Right about now I'm sure I'm sitting at UTA watching my 857th dance of the day.  I've probably heard Adele, Aye Carumba, and Shake that Shimmie one too many times for the weekend and I'm probably on my 7th red bull.  Yay dance competitions!

So while I'm inside cheering on our girls, I wanted to entertain you with some pictures from our 4th of July bash!  I had a GREAT time at our friend's apartment.  He lives in one of the Gables buildings in Uptown and his view of Dallas is SICK!

Hanging out at Kaboom Town in Addison



Cookie cake and jello shots!  Perfect start to the day!




Flip cup champs!

Our cookie cake took a turn for the worse.  Sad face.


Told you the view was SICK!  

I'm not sure who put 4th of July in the middle of the week but it was an awful idea!  I was beyond tired Thursday morning.
