What's a girl to do when the hubby is at work.......

Well if you know me very well you know that I can't stand to sit at home all day I need to always be on the move...so this only having one job has given me plenty of free time. I have caught up on the TV shows I watch and movies that I wanted to watch on Netflix. So yesterday was my first full day of nothing to really do. So I got inspired to redo my one wall that I have never really liked. Here is the before and after.....

(Sorry the pictures are not great the one frame is a brighter green then it is showing up)

I just took some frames that have been longing to come out of storage for almost three years and I put a little paint on them and I love LOVE love how it turned out.. This is just what my wall needed a little splash of color. Now we just need to go and get new pictures done so I can fill the frames!

Oh and what is a girl to to with textbooks that I could not sell back. SIMPLE you just recover them with cute scrapbook paper and make them a new decoration for your desk! This was so easy and now they are a decoration and not taking up space on my bookshelf!

love love

Time Flies

Holy cow it has been awhile since my last post haha. Things have been a little crazy around here the past two months.

To get started here is a little update;

• So I started a new job at River Birch Golf Course and I absolutely love it.
• I ended my internship with my 4th graders and it was kind of bitter sweet....I am going to miss working with my mentor teacher, she is an AMAZING teacher!
• We went to the cabin to relax.
• I finished my job with Eagle Mini
• I have tons of free time now haha
• My house is clean again
• My flowers are all planted now I just have to weed and once that it is done I will post some pictures!
• Went to Utah!
• Went on a road trip with my friend Bri to our friend Brynn's wedding and she was absolutely GORGEOUS and her husband Nate is a PERFECT match for her!! love love

So it doesn't seem like much but when you are working two jobs and have an internship I had no free time which was good! So here are some things I get to look forward to for the summer.....Zac's cousin Alli is coming up this week to play in the regional soccer tournament...GO ALLI.....We are going to go play golf at Osprey Meadows on Tuesday with my Dad for Fathers Day, 4th of July, A week in Utah seeing friends and watching Andrew and Chelsea get MARRIED....it's crazy to me that it is almost July. Lets see what else OH i almost forgot our 3rd Anniversary and with that comes the best present ever I get to go see MICHAEL BUBLE!!!! I can not tell you how excited I am for this! Last but not least I get to relax before life gets crazy again haha. Oh and I promise I will be a lot better at posting!

23!

So this past Saturday I turned the big 23! It was a great birthday! It all started on Friday after Zac and I got off work, he asked where I wanted to go to dinner and I decided to go to Bonefish!!! Best choice ever haha, we had a lovely dinner and caught up on each others lives since we hardly see each other anymore....then he told me that I was going to get one present that night. When we finished dinner he told me that we needed to go to the store because we needed some groceries when I asked why he said because we are going to the cabin for the weekend. I was so excited he planned it all by himself and got it all arranged minus the grocery part.

After dinner he asked if I wanted to go and see a movie and I said sure....so we decided to go to Tangled...let me just say it is my new favorite movie at the moment...I know I am such a kid at heart but I laughed so hard at some of the things in it and the horse reminded me so much of little miss Annie! After the movie we went to the grocery store and loaded up on junk food. When we got home he gave me a cake that he made and then he decided to give me another present. it was......an IPAD!!!!! I was SO excited! I love my new little toy it is so FUN! Zac had talked to everyone and got them to go in on it with him! He is such a sneaky husband!

Saturday came and I went to work for a few hours when I got home Zac was already to go so we hit the road and went up to the cabin. It was so nice to get away and not have to do anything except for relax....even though I did get some homework done!

On Sunday we slept in and Zac made me coconut french toast and it was really good. After breakfast we went for a little swim and relax a little more. Later in the afternoon we decided to come home and then we went over to my parents house and we all went to Crab Shack and had crab and it was so GOOD!!! I can never get enough crab...I think I should move to the coast so I can have fresh crab all the time...well at least when it is in season. So at the Crab Shack if they find out it is your birthday they make you dance with them and I told my family to not say anything....well I should know better they told them and I had to get up and hold the salt and pepper shakers and shake my booty! Lovely I know. Then we went back to my parents house and had some cake and I got to open another present and they were these super cute flip flops!

Anyways it was a wonderful weekend! Thanks everyone for making it so special!!!

Special shout out to Mr. Zac!! You are an amazing husband! Thank you for making it a super special weekend!

Me shaking my booty!

Never a dull moment!

My mom made me a teapot cake!

He even bought me flowers :)

25th Anniversary Surprise Party!

This past Saturday I had a surprise open house for my parents! It was so much fun and I could not have done it without out my wonderful husband and two beautiful aunts (Jolene & Teresa) Thank you guys so much! I know my parents enjoyed every minute of it!

Okay so here is the story its actually kind of funny. So about a month and a half before the BIG day I decided to have a surprise open house and invite family and some close friends to help my parents celebrate their big day! So together with Jolene I created the invites and sent them out to the family! By the way they did a great job at keeping a secret :) Anyways back to the story so I had to tell my mom something so they would not plan anything. I came up with the excuse that I was going to have an open house on March 19, and I wanted them to come and just hang out! At first my mom was totally okay for it and then she started thinking about it and then the quizzing came all the time. She would ask me why that date so I had to be quick on my feet and say it was because Caley (I work with her) is going to have a baby and she wants to come and so I wanted to do it before she had the baby. Then she would keep asking me who all I invited and I said everybody from work and a few of our friends. She seemed to buy it for awhile and then the questions started to really come on so I got the brilliant idea to ask her to help me make the food haha.....she said okay and it totally threw her off our tracks.....it's kind of funny that she made some food for her own party.

Okay so the day arrives and I asked her if she reminded my Dad about the open house and she was like I thought you told him....which I never did because she said she would. So I talked to my Dad and he said we have lived here for 2 years and that he did not need to come to an open house plus basketball was on. So my quick thinking came in handy again I asked if Mom was close and he said kind of....I told him that he needed to keep this a secret that it was a party for him and mom. He said alright what time do we need to be there and that was that! So then later when they arrived to our house and people started to show up my Mom figured it out she was so surprised but she still had a little feeling it was for them haha. Then I later found out when they were driving over my Dad asked my Mom what kind of house warming present she got us....she looked at him weird and said I didn't get anything and so my Dad started to give her a bad time it was so funny.

The evening went fantastic and it was so good to see our family and catch up! I think I am going to have to throw another party just so we can all get together again soon!

Getting Fit

So about a month ago it hit me that I needed to start getting into shape again and start really working out. Since it was still pretty cold outside and I was just not feeling the whole P90x workouts I decided to just kind of play around with our Wii fit, so I tried the free running and I started out really light and only went for 10 minutes and I ran a WHOLE 1.2 miles without even taking a little break! This was huge for me and it felt so good. Everyday I would push myself a little farther and then eventually I made it up to 20 minutes of straight running. I even got Zac to start doing it with me :) Now I am up to 30 minutes and our average distance is 5.6 miles!!! I am so excited I can't even handle it and I feel great, and I have not had any arthritis pains the whole time....plus to all of this is I have lost 4 pounds which means I am closer to my ultimate goal!

Now Zac is thinking we need to start running for 40 minutes and he is giving me one more week at 30 minutes each time. We have even thought that once the weather starts getting a little nicer we are going to start running outside and we have decided that our long term goal to this is to be able to run a marathon!! I know it sounds crazy but I am excited for this new adventure! I think this weekend we are going to look at some different marathons and see which one we want to do.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!

Today is my Dad's Birthday!!!!! Thank you for being the best Dad in the world I hope you have enjoyed your day of doing nothing except watching basketball!!!

Today...

So today I came home after work and the house was unusually quiet.....I went into the man cave and this is what I found......
