The weekend, as briefly as possible

So in all that is unfair and cruel, Robert has had off for the whole week for Spring Break.  However, since I’m not working in Public Accounting anymore, I was able to take a day off with him to enjoy some time together.  We started our Friday with a wedding chore… picking up our Marriage Certificate!  We headed down to the courthouse in Media, PA in the morning to pick up our [expensive] right to marry.

To celebrate, we headed downtown to cash out some Groupons that I’ve been collecting.  Our first stop was The Academy of Natural Science to check out some dinosaurs!  Robert loves dinos  

Rawr!

After the museum (and all of the screaming children on field trips), we needed to refuel with some Mexican food and of course some alcoholic beverages at Mexican Post!  We had a Groupon for this as well, and since I do love myself some Mexcian Post, I jumped at the opportunity to visit!

We feasted on nachos, burritos (for the boy) and fajitas (for me!)  Super yum, as usual!

After our feast, we high-tailed it to the closest pub to watch the second half of the SJU-Duquense game in the A-10 Tournament Quarterfinals… which we WON!  What an amazing way to round out the day.  There was even another Hawk fan in the bar to share in the excitement.  High-fives all around!  The Hawk Will Never Die!

Saturday, we started out the day with another Hawk game, this time against Dayton in the Semi-finals.  Unfortunately we lost, but I couldn’t help but be appreciative of how the team really rallied around for the second half of this rebuilding year.  We have a strong freshman class, and I can’t wait to see how next year goes!

After the game, we headed out to join the Erin Express!  We really only went to one bar, but the beers were good, people watching was classic, and company was handsome.  What more could a girl ask for?

It was a great long weekend, just like this was a [great?] long post.  I know I said I’d keep it brief… but I couldn’t help it!  How was your weekend?

Let the one year countdown begin!

Ok so let me gush for a hot second.  Today marks two things:  1) this is Robert and my fifth anniversary of our first date!  Who knew that being late for econ class my freshman year would turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to me?

2)  One year until our wedding!  I was so excited to see that April 30 was a Saturday… and to see that my venues all had the date open.  I thought it was so fun (and easy to remember) that our wedding date had such significance  for us!
Anyway, I am so excited and I just wanted to share with you all!  I’ve gotta run – unfortunately I can’t celebrate our anniversary with Robert (long story – he has an alumni event at SJU tonight… usually I have one on the same night, but mine is next week!)  Since I can’t celebrate with Robert, who better to spend the day with than one of my best friends?!  My matron of honor and I have a hot date with a phenomenal greek restaurant and a bottle of wine.  I even bought her flowers – how romantic right?!  So excited <3

Happy Friday!!  One year til the wedding!!!!

Four for Four

What’s good, blogdizzles?

How’s March turning out for you guys?  I’m happy as a clam over here!  I officially kicked off my Team Philly training for the Broad Street run last week, and I’m proud to report that I haven’t missed a run yet.  It’s only been four runs – and I haven’t gotten to run with the group at all courtesy of busy season, but this is HUGE for me!  No matter what the running plan is, I have a hard time sticking to it.  I guess the investment is my motivation this time!

Anyway, my yoga challenge hasn’t been too hot.  After my outside run yesterday, I did 20 minutes of hip-opening flow from yoga download, but that’s been it so far for the month.  It felt darn good though!  I’m hoping to do more yoga this week – I’m shooting for Thursday and Saturday?  Or Friday + Saturday?  I’ve been eyeing a Total Body Conditioning class at the gym for the past few weeks.  I am hoping it’s like the Body Pump I’ve heard so much about!  It’s the only class offered in the mornings before work, so I’d like to see what it’s like.  I’m going to go tomorrow – and if I’m not dead from soreness on Thursday maybe I’ll go again.  If not – yoga

I feel like I have so much to catch you guys up on.  Robert and I had a fantastic weekend with great friends+beer on friday, an impromptu date night on Saturday, and an amazing dinner that helped us decide on our wedding venue last night.  I can’t wait to catch you all up on it… but for now – back to work!
