What I'm Loving Wednesday

What day is it?! Hump Day! (Please imagine this in the camel voice... you know the one).

I am back for another installment of What I'm Loving Wednesday! Here we go!

I'm loving that it is October. October means fall, and pumpkins, and wind, and rainy days, and football, and birthdays, and dressing up, and flushed cheeks, and colored leaves, and wonderful wonderful times.

I am loving that I have a 4 day week. I'm not exactly sure why we get this Friday off... Columbus Day isn't until the 14th, and I don't have that off. But I'm not complaining.

I am loving that I am spending my long weekend in Montana for a yoga retreat! I am so excited to get away with DeAnn (my MIL) and practice my yoga skills in the beautiful Montana wilderness. I am hoping to perfect my headstand. And maybe even crow into vinyasa... Crazy, I know.

This is crow. I can actually do this. I'm trying to accomplish kicking back from this into a plank pose and then going into a yogi pushup. Gracefully.

I am loving camo pants. I have had my eye on some for awhile and finally broke down and ordered some. They should be here soon, but I'm already planning pinning all of the outfits I'm going to where with them!

What do you think? Cute? Can I pull these off?

I am loving that I have been diligent in my workouts this week. So far I'm 2 for 2! Hopefully 3 for 3 tonight!

I am loving that Justin had the day off yesterday and cleaned the entire house. I came home from work really a little bit grumpy after a long stressful day, and was reminded of how blessed I am to be married to such a giving, loving, and slightly OCD man! =)

I am loving the fact that fall TV has started!! I'm still watching Grey's Anatomy (am I the only one?), Nashville, Dancing With the Stars, and Parenthood, and have also added Trophy Wife, and The Crazy Ones to my long list of shows on my DVR and Netflix cue.

I also love that Dancing With the Stars is only 1 night a week now. 

I am loving football. And some football players...

Oh heyyy Colin

And I am loving that my little blog button is spending the month on Karissa & Company and Happy is A Choice! Such lovely blogs and lovely ladies! How lucky am I?!

I'm also loving this song! Can't get enough!

Happy hump day you all!!

Recent Life Happenings and a Little Brain Vomit

Whoa you all. It has been too long. I'm going to get better at this blogging and working thing... I promise.

I've been pretty busy with work but also with some super fun things.

Thursday Doodle got a hair cut. You guys... this is something we do because it is necessary. Not something we do because we think he looks good this way... He grows out in a few weeks and looks super cute again. I promise.

So sad. 

Shadow also got a haircut. Yes, we give our cat a haircut, and yes she loves it. Bible.

Boots with the fur...

Also on Thursday my MIL and I went to a Bachelorette dinner for our yoga instructor and friend. It was at The Wine Cellar which is a really cool restaurant in downtown Coeur d'Alene. We had the top floor to ourselves and we had such a blast.

While at dinner we all went around and gave the bride-to-be our best piece of marriage advice. It was so great to be able to give advice as a married woman!! But also so nice to hear advice for myself as well! Some key notes... Pray. Pray with your husband, pray for your husband, pray for patience, and love, and just pray. Also remember how you felt on your wedding day and all of the reasons you got married and love your husband. Also, keep that fire alive!

Friday Justin and I decided to have a night staying in, just us two. We made eggplant parmesan for dinner, yum. And when I say we I actually mean Justin made it and I read him the recipe. We also watched some of our favorite TV shows... including about 5 episodes of The League. Do you guys watch this? Oh my goodness I think it's so funny. It's definitely kind of a man show and can sometimes be a little bit raunchy but if your man wants to watch it, give in. You'll get points for letting him pick the TV show, and its actually really funny. And it's on Netflix! Win.

On Saturday my MIL and I had a total girls day. We went to yoga in the morning and then spent the day sipping wine and getting ready for a wedding that night. The wedding was at a church at Gonzaga University and was so amazing.

It was such a beautiful and fun night spent with good people having such a great time and celebrating a great couple.

Sunday was spent recovering, and thats about it. Oh, and mourning the Niners loss.

I don't want to talk about it.

In other news it's 100 days away from Christmas today so that's great. I almost want to make one of those paper count down chains but I'll hold back... at least until after Thanksgiving.

Also, as much as I love fall... it was dark tonight when I got out of yoga. At 7:45. This is the first time this has happened and it made me a little sad. But then the new Miley song was on the radio and that made it a little better. Speaking of... I'm loving that song, but why do her videos have to be so weird?! Miley... why do you have to lick random things and have your tongue out all the time?

When did this become a thing? I don't like it.

Well that's all for now... enough brain vomit for one night.

Happy Monday loves!
