It’s Monday again! Isn’t it weird how that happens something like once every seven days? Crazy.
Matt & I have been battling with feeling nothing short of LAZY on weekends I don’t have weddings, so this weekend we decided to shake things up a bit. I’m not really a “nature love” kind of person- I think hiking is kind of pointless, rock climbing scares the bejeebees out of me, and white water rafting? Nope. No thanks. I’d prefer to go to the pool… or a movie theater. But when we woke up on Saturday, the weather was absolutely phenomenal and there was no possible way to justify staying indoors, so we drove out to Great Falls Park to take Lily exploring. She had a grand old time, scaling rocks and small boulders like a mountain goat, and I decided that nature may not be so bad as long as I can retreat back to my cute townhouse after I’ve had my fill.
As always, lessons learned/things that transpired over the weekend:
I’d also like to brag on Matt for a moment. He’s never been a gym rat kind of guy, but after realizing we both really want to establish healthy habits NOW while we’re still young, he signed up for a gym membership last week and made it four out of the five work days last week. So proud!
Some photos from our weekend of craziness:
Eh, I guess nature isn’t so bad.
Our friends Brett & Callie play in a softball league and one of the men’s teams needed a couple of extra players yesterday, so Matt laced up his sneakers and headed out to play ball. I made sure to catcall at him from the stands, and he likes to pretend he was embarrassed but secretly I know he likes it. Probably.
Happy Monday!

YUM! I loooove peaches! My most recent thing to do with ripe peaches is roast them!! It’s super simple and delicious, my favorite combo! http://alittlesaffron.com/2012/09/05/roasted-peaches-with-vanilla-yogurt-honey-and-mint/
Ah, I wanted to go peach picking so badly, but it rained the day we tried to go:( Also, try the Bali Sunrise candle at target! It smells almost exactly like Anthro’s Volcano, but it’s only ten bucks for a big one:)
Yum! I sense som peach preserves! Your Pawpaw and I have seen some beautiful sights while hiking. You should give it a try.
That’s my new favorite candle, too! It’s very pleasant without being really overpowering – and I love that they’re so cheap!!
Also, YAY for Matt! It’s SO exciting when you can really make fitness part of your routine and lifestyle. Soon, you really MISS the days and weeks you skip it because it makes you feel so good. So proud of him (and you)! 🙂
Hiking is pointless?! Ahhhh, you have got to get out in the mountains more. Start in Shenandoah Ntnl Park.
