Hey people! I know, I know..my title is a bit annoying unrealistic..I mean, not many people consider Monday to be a happy day. Weekend is over, work week is beginning..your mind is filled with all the things you HAVE to get done this week.
But today (even though it's terribly gloomy here in Nashville, and my to-do list is forever long).. I am going to make this Monday a happy one!
Little catchup- Happy 4th of July!! I hope everyone had a wonderful celebration on the 4th..even though it was the most awkward day to have off..middle of the week? Yuck. However, we still managed to have a good time with friends even with the cloud hanging over everyone that they really had to go into work the next day. We had friends over at our pool, grilled hamburgers, played a little catch phrase..good times all around!
My parents came into town the next day and stayed through the weekend. We had an absolute BLAST. We enjoyed eating out at a few yummy places for lunch, did a little shopping, enjoyed dinner at Mafiaoza's (a must eat place in Nashville), listened to some tunes at the piano bar, grilled steaks, saw the new Spiderman (request of Chris and my dad), and I got to take them to see my new classroom! I did not get one picture from the weekend. I am soooo mad at myself for that. Ugh..not one picture..so sad. Oh well, guess we were having so much fun I forgot to stop and capture the moments.
Chris and I enjoyed a relaxing Sunday afternoon after my parents left. We went to church, ate some lunch, and literally spent the whole day cuddled up on the couch watching TV...it was storming outside..and in my mind, lounging on the couch is a must do while it's storming. We ended our comfort Sunday with a little Mexican food at Chuy's. Yummy.
On this rainy Monday morning, I am up enjoying my morning coffee..catching up on laundry..and heading to the gym soon. Going to spend the rest of the day working in my classroom..between traveling and conferences.. I only have 8 full days left to work in my classroom. Ahh!! Where does the time go?!?
We will be leaving for California on Thursday! PUMPED. We will be staying in L.A. with Chris's brother and his family for three days...enjoying the beach and some quality family time. On Sunday, Chris and I are going to rent a car (hopefully a convertible.. my request..I want the wind blowing in my hair as we drive the coast. Yes, I'm cheesy)..do some sightseeing in L.A. and then drive to Solvang..a cute little Danish community in Santa Barbara Wine Country. The plan there is do some hiking, biking, wine tastings, and enjoy each other's company! Summer vaca 2012 is going to be awesome..I will definitely have pictures to share after!
I came across this while browsing Pinterest this morning...and it is a simple reminder that every day should be celebrated..for it is the day the Lord has made!! Even Mondays y'all...
Love to all...go and enjoy your journey and your Monday!!
