That time I went off and got married!

Well I hinted Thursday night on IG that I was changing my life Friday.  Most people guessed it!

Why so fast you ask?

My New hubby has two daughters.  They were going to see their mom in Seattle today so we really wanted to get married before they left.  Truthfully we have been afraid they wouldn't come back.  So we or I rushed to get my birth certificate (which I didn't end up needing), my dress altered, and find some shoes.  It all worked out perfectly, kind of like everything else in our relationship. Cheesy I know but true!

Friday morning, I got my hair done and signed papers for our new house (Yes we got one of those too, another post).  We went to the DMV to get our license, then went to his oldest daughters friends house to "get married", ok to sign the papers lol The lady at the DMV told us to find somewhere pretty so that their address wouldn't be on our marriage certificate, so we did!

I will let the pictures do the talking....

applying for the license
My favorite from the day, taken by his daughter!

He's 6'4", I'm 5'0" lol
Our Family:)

The kids


Our awesome photographer! (It was also her backyard)
Because nothing in our relationship has been normal we went and got rings after and even exchanged them at the jewelry store haha

The rest of the day was spent shopping for the girls.  They needed new shoes and bathing suits.  Then we went to Marcus' baseball game.  Yep we still had to be parents!!

We left early for our honeymoon.  My mom paid for a B&B for us in the mountains. We went to Central City/Blackhawk.  It's the place for gambling in Colorado and it's absolutely beautiful!

He got all the pics of the mountains...oops!

Saturday we went to breakfast at a place called Millie's.  I had been there before and all I could remember is that they had deep fried french toast....heaven in the mouth!  Then I took him to the cemetery there.  Yes only I would take my husband to a cemetery on our honeymoon lol

I am fascinated with history, especially when things are said to be haunted!

It was built in 1884 and just so cool.  Really sad at the same time, most people didn't live past 30 or 40 back then. They even divided the cemeteries by religion.  Anyway we got lost getting there and ended up driving around the mountain, it was beautiful!!

That night we got dressed up (and forgot to get a picture taken) and went to a casino for all you can eat crab legs.  If you want to get me excited feed me crab legs lol That sounded dirty!
Then instead of gambling we went and watched some bands. One did alternative rock, they even did a mix of Sublime's What I got with Gin and Juice, pretty awesome.  The other was a country band!

Sunday we went back to Millie's.  I need to workout to work off that french toast! SOOO worth it though!

We drove back and he got to meet my grandparents and a friend of mine, then back home to the kids!

Him and I get to live apart for the next 6 weeks which is really shitty:( 

I came home and made dinner for my dad, sister, Marcus and my niece.  My niece decided she wanted her toes to match mine...so cute
And I finally read Summer Sisters....Loved it!


I would have to say it was a perfect weekend!! How was your weekend?? Anyone do anything crazy??

Weekly goals:

Monday-Swimming and chasing after my niece for 12 hours and grocery shopping....back on the Ripped in 30 meal plan!

Summer Reading and Tabata

button

I am really excited about this link up!  The other day I went to the library and couldn't find anything that I wanted to read or hadn't already #readaholicproblems

A couple books on my summer reading list are:

Yes I finally jumped on the bandwagon.  After 50 shades and the Crossfire Novels this better be good!  We all need a little smut in our lives;)

Others:
Summer Sisters-Judy Blume-I didn't even realize she still wrote books haha
The Heist-Janet Evanovich-Seriously if you have never read her you are missing out!
Mistress-James Patterson-I have read every single one of his books
Reconstructing Amelia-Kimberly MCreight

Can't wait to see what everyone else is reading!









Simply Sami
I did the challenge for this week which was tabata. I have done it before and love it! Ok actually have a love/hate relationship with it. I mean seriously girls jump lunges?? Confession I like them better than regular ones, maybe it's because it's only 20 seconds at a time? who knows!

My favorite thing about tabata is that you do so much in such a little time and sweat your ass off!

My sweaty F off tabata face...it isn't pretty haha


Here are my goals for the week:

Today-Tabata and swimming-I have been doing some Jillian exercises in the pool too.  Start the Ripped meal plan-so far so good
Wednesday-Ripped in 30 and Tabata-catching up
Thursday-Ripped in 30 and Treadmill
Friday-Tabata early in the morning----Something special coming that day:)  Updates on Monday
Saturday and Sunday-----None

What are your workout goals this week? Yes I am a day late oh well!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Tuesday!!

Ripped in 30

Ok besides the weekly challenges from Jodi and Sami I am going to attempt 30 days of Jillian. 30DS was so damn boring for me but Ripped actually makes me sweat and challenges me.  I have never made it 30 days but it's happening this time!

Review – Jillian Michaels – Ripped in 30 | My Journey Through

I'm so serious I even downloaded the meal plan....you can find it here.

Anyone want to do it with me??

Thursday Thoughts and Praying for Colorado

 


Everyone else is writing a letter to their 21 year old selfs and I'm loving reading them but no bandwagon for me today!  To be completely honest I don't remember 21 very well.  Not even because I was drunk all the time I probably was but because after 20 life was kind of a blur and although I remember a lot I don't remember what happened in certain years.  Don't do drugs folks! Don't worry it was recreational lol jk kind of

Anyway this is my third blog post of the week holy crap!  Life is slowing down a little (I hope). 

I was just reading through some posts and Ang and Erin are having a book link up on Tuesday!  Cannot wait to see what everyone suggests.  I just added 20 new books to my library list....who wants to make bets that I will get them all at the same time??? That's how it always works.  I just finished reading this
Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts - Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists
 
I always thought she wrote sappy romance novels but this book set me straight. Yes there is a love story in there but I got sucked in to the mystery part of it.  It took me weeks to get through it, not just because it's LONG but also because I couldn't focus. Read it if you get a chance!
 
Yesterday was the first time I didn't work out this week boo!  I couldn't get my butt up.  I don't know if it's those late night phone conversations not mentioning any names ahem Tim but I can't seem to get enough sleep.  It's probably needed.  Today I am back at it! Where's the new challenge Jodi?? lol you are going to make me wait till next week aren't you? It's ok Ripped in 30 is a great back up!
 
I need to go buy another bathing suit.  Why is this so hard??
 
I also need to go buy wedding shoes....hmmm....sandals or heels??
 
And now for something actually important...
 
Seriously what is up with the weather? Crazy tornadoes, hurricanes and fires. 
 
The Black Forest Fire in Colorado is 15,000 plus acres now and 0% contained.  It just keeps growing and has already destroyed 360 houses...so far.  The wind won't stop and it just keeps spreading.  Our state is once again on fire.  Pray we get lots of rain!  Our beautiful state is burning down!

Getting off my a$$...Let's Get Physical


Simply Sami




The last couple of months have been so busy I haven't hardly worked out or ate anything good for me!  Let's just say since I moved into my Dad's I have bought 10-12 packs of oreos (one more today). Did I mention I have been here a month? Between the three of us those things disappear.  I have a total weakness for cookies.  If they are close to me I will eat them.  Not even kidding.  I can polish off a bag of them in minutes.  It's disgusting and oh so yummy.

I am going to try and follow along with Jodi and Sami's challenge Let's Get Physical this month.  I did the first challenge and plan on doing the second today!

I started to post some goals for the week a couple weeks ago and haven't followed through but starting today that is changing.  Life won't be so busy or I can just stop using that as an excuse right??!!

Tuesday-Challenge 2, as much time as I can take on the treadmill and meal prep

Wednesday-Ripped in 30 (loving it)-since we have baseball this day I am going to bring my own food

Thursday-Challenge 3 (when it comes), treadmill

Friday-Ripped in 30

Saturday-Fishing with the family-I will try to get in a small workout

Sunday-Ripped or Running outside

What are some of your goals this week?

Happy Tuesday!!
