Tacos and Phase 10

This weekend we had some friends over for tacos and some Phase 10!  Lauren and I ran errands during the day and got all the fixings for our taco feast.  Matt took over the cooking while I made a delicious funfetti cake. Yum!  We had so much fun and a had a lot of laughs :).

Josh and Michelle joined us after dinner!

Jax was such a good boy! He laid in his bed the entire time we played cards.

Missing Turbo

I have really been missing my old gym back in Lafayette. Ok, so I guess I don't really miss the gym itself, I miss the instructors and my favorite classes.  I am soooo excited because tomorrow I am going to my old gym for a TurboKick class! I had been doing TurboKick for 7 years before moving from Lafayette.  It was my thing.  

I started doing CoreBox (another kickboxing class) when the gym tried to make the switch and I absolutely loved that too.  I am actually certified to teach Corebox after a training I had last January, but I just have not taught it yet.  I wanted to teach at International, but I felt like it would be weird being an instructor for people I had been working out with for years.  I told myself once I moved down here and joined a new gym, I would teach CoreBox.  Have I started teaching? Nope. But I know I totally should.

Tuesday's Exciting Facts

*First and foremost, our friends (The Hills) found out today they are having a baby GIRL! We are so beyond excited for them.  They were pretty much 99.9% sure "it" was a boy since Matt is 1 of 5 boys and his brothers all have boys.  Needless to say, they are on cloud 9 :)

*I bought a bag of real Cheetos at Marsh today...not the baked version...and they are delicious.

*More applications are becoming available for Matt's career journey...not giving too much info now, but just hoping for the best :).

*Jax is finally starting to realize when I "mean business" around here.  Lately, I have noticed he doesn't really listen to me or get scared of me when I scold him, but when Matt does he is full attention.  Matt's response to this was, "He just loves you too much to be scared of you."  Hmm thanks?

*Lauren and I got to do Bodypump together tonight! It's so much better with someone else there with you :).

Nickname

I never really had a cool nickname growing up.  My name isn't one that transfers into anything cool. I think I always secretly wanted one, but it's kind of weird to make up a nickname for yourself and then ask people to call you it, right? 

Well, I just realized that I have a nickname now that I am married.  Even though only one person calls me this, and I only hear it at work, I can officially say I have a nickname...

"Dunny"

Thanks Brookie :)

Double Date Night

Last night, the Hills came down to our place to have a double date night! We had reservations at Buca di Beppo (YUM!) and then came home to watch the Purdue game.  Buca was delicious.  It's a family-style italian restaurant and we pigged out.  We topped off our huge meal with the Chocolate Brownie dessert...which is supposed to feed 6 people.  Does baby Hill count as 1 person? Because we finished it all but 2 bites :).

All gone!

San Diego!

I am SO excited.  I just booked my flight to San Diego!  

My friend Amy and I are going out to see Abby! Abby and I met sophomore year at Purdue and then we all started hanging out Junior year when we had our MedSurg clinical together...fun times :).  Abby moved out to San Diego last July for the Navy.  She is a nurse at the Naval Medical Center San Diego in same day surgery.

When Abby moved out there, I was a little depressed because California is just so far away.  It's not like I could pack up and drive to see her (I mean I could, but that'd be a darn long drive).  I wasn't sure if and when I'd be able to get out to see her, especially since we just had the expense of our wedding.  

Amy had been planning on going out there for her Spring Break, but I had said I couldn't go.  I got to thinking that if I didn't go now, when would I go? It's so easy to want to go so bad, but to just put it off. Soooo, I saved and now I am going :). My flights are booked!  I think Matt is a little sad he can't join for the trip, but the next trip to see Abby we will both go out there.

At my wedding. Kylie, Abby, me, Amy.  Kylie won't be able to join us this trip :(

Last dinner before everyone moved away

If this is anything like our trip to Daytona Beach last March, I think I am in store for a good time :). Can't wait to see you!!!!

Milestones

* I made dinner three times last week, and twice already this week! I think it has a little to do with Matt not being home for dinner during the week, so I feel like he should have a good meal to come and warm up when he gets home late. Yeah me! (If you don't know me, this is a milestone because my husband is the chef)

* Jax did "play dead" from the sitting position! (My text to Matt today was, "I just got Jax to do play dead from sitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"...notice all those exclamation marks?!) Jax can do a nice little set of tricks that are super cute, but Matt has been getting on me to not do them all in order because he has started to anticipate what he should do next.  He would ONLY do "play dead" if he was already laying down first.  He was so confused when I would say it when he was sitting.  Welp, now he's got the hang of it! Good boy!

*I got dressed and left the house on my day off twice this week! Not that I don't like to or am embarrassed to say I stay home all day in my pj's, that's the absolute best!  

* I saved 41% at Marsh on groceries today.

* Matt and I have been married for 4 months today!

Well, that's about all and it's only Tuesday!
