Well I'm one whole year older. I turned 22 on Tuesday, July 3rd and I'm feeling elderly. Thank goodness for antiaging cream and sunscreen for keeping my skin looking positively brilliant. I am enjoying my 10k training. The last weekend in June, Bricey and I went to his family's lake house. Lots of relaxation, tubing, and running! Twice that weekend we headed out early to do our 1 minute of running and 4 minutes of walking for 45-50 minutes. Thankfully, we got outside quick enough before the sun got too excited. On our running adventure, we encountered many grasshoppers...not a fan. I was dancing everywhere because they obviously thought their new habitat were my legs. No. Thank. You. I also saw a cow, UP CLOSE, with her little baby calf. She was scared to death, but all I wanted was a picture. So she gladly posed :) Thanks cow. Also, Brice decided to get down and dirty on dancing. The run was getting a little boring at the end so he decided to spice it up a little bit.
We also tubed. Talk about a WORKOUT! Oh. My. Gosh. The whole family was sore in the morning. One serious arm exercise. I love that burn that makes you realize you just worked muscles that you haven't worked in 10 years. Thank you body.
Onto more exciting news, while shopping for an outfit for the forth, I stumbled upon these SIZE 6 SHORTS! I said the only reason I'd buy them is for the size. I don't even care if the retail guy said "they run big". Just so everyone knows, I decided I didn't want these $80 shorts but I'm saving the picture
Bricey came to the city for my birthday! On the big day, I got up SUPER early, like...7:00 am. I'm crazy! My lovely family had the kitchen decorated in birthday decor with a birthday tiara on the table. Jay enjoyed wearing the crown. We went to the lake to run, got a free birthday eyebrow wax (me not Bricey), and went to Chuy's where I had an awesome Cobb Salad. Yum! We then went to the new Spiderman movie which I must say is pretty awesome. I adore Emma Stone and think she is just fabulous. One of the best compliments I have ever received was "You're like an unscripted Emma Stone" THANK YOUUUUU! The movie was a little long but the story was pretty easy to follow (for those of you who have a really hard time following action movies, like me).
For dinner, I researched brown rice sushi in my city and found Blue Fish, my family LOVED it and I thought it was really amazing as well. I have to stay away from the tempura rolls but besides that, I can be just like everyone else!
On the 4th, one of my favorite days, Bricey and I headed back out to the lake to meet his entire family there. We enjoyed some taco cabana. YUM! The Cabana bowl (which is pretty much like a salad with rice and beans) is really great and fills you up quickly! In less than 12 hours, we caught up with family, ate some awesome BBQ chicken, played with the kiddos (my fave), went out on the boat, and watched fireworks.
On a side note: I love small world(s) when you realize no matter what, someone would be put in your life, someway, somehow. For example: one of Brice's best friends, was an intern at the same company my brother's best friend, Kimberly worked at. And he edited a story on my brother....a year before me and Brice met. AND I just found out that another best friend of Cameron's, Jessica, was in Brice's cousin's wife's sorority at Baylor. Now I know that's a lot of connecting lines BUT for a couple who had NO mutual friends when we met, I think it is pretty amazing.
As I promised, I weighed in on my birthday, hoping to lose 2.4 lbs to hit 155 lbs. I only lost 0.4 lbs which is a total of 4 lb lost. Bummed, but I am feeling better about running AND making healthy choices. So I'm proud of my 4 lb loss. I also said NO to corona & lime, chocolate chip cookies, and margaritas. Let me have my proud moment. I made my mommy's homemade salsa for our 4th of july fiesta and opted for my rice chips instead of tortilla chips. It was a HIT and mmm mmm mmm so good!
Bricey had to work Thursday and Friday so were in little D but were heading back to the lake for the weekend! So excited :)
