The Queen’s Chronicles – Week 35

The first week of school is behind us and I am proud to say we all had a super week!  Thanks to being more organized than usual we actually ran early or on time at least every single day.  It really was a great feeling.  I think we were all excited to have a schedule again…..we will see if that holds true for week 2!  Here’s how things went down…..

 It was back to school for these two!  To take a look down memory lane and see how I’m feeling about my last year of elementary school you can hop over here.  

 We are thrilled to be in Mrs. Cosser’s 4th grade class!  Dillon was also in her class in 4th grade and I have secretly been hoping for this day ever since! 

Sadly due to early morning football practice my morning workouts with my regular “crew” are not going to work.  I headed to workout after work and it was just me & my trainer knocking out the reps.    I have no clue how to talk “gym” talk.  

This picture cracked me up…but not as much as the slow motion video I had them take so I could work on improving.  I am totally a visual learner.  Seeing what I was doing wrong was a real eye opener.

 I picked out a few tile samples for our master shower.  I love the glass for sure for a small band around the shower and I love the tile but I’m not sure about the small piece which would end up being the floor.  Regardless, still another step it the direction I and headed.

 This new dress {which is 60% with the code FLASH until 10am Monday} is adorable.  I ordered another dress that I really thought would be my favorite but this one came sliding in and I was in love!

 I had the greatest wine opener from a local winery and I cannot find an important piece to it!!  After multiple tries this is what I got!

 And we celebrated National Dog Day with Dutch Buddy

 Love finding selfies on my phone from this one!

 I paired my favorite summer white dress with  leopard belt and blue jean vest to change it up a little.

 And for real…how excited was I to walk into work and see this in my chair!

 And a friend of mine who works for another college on campus posted this and we were all dying.  So funny…and true so many days during the summer budget prep.

 And I saw this meme and knew I had to send it to Riley!  Mr. Competitive could not stand to lose a board game when he was little.

Thursday was girls night out with some of my gym friends.  I loved the ease of this outfit!

 Here we are enjoying the hot tub and some hot conversation!

 Dutch loves being my copilot and going to doggie playcare! He LOVES it!!

On Friday we arrived in Matagorda for our weekend getaway just in time to see the sun setting.  We had dinner, took a moonlit stroll not the beach and then headed to bed so we would be up early for fishing.

Our first morning…. the sun rise is always the best part of the day!

We took a little nap after our morning fishing trip and then headed for the beach.  I’ve been going to this beach since I was like 5 and I have never seen it so pretty!

Day 2 on the water for morning fishing!  I love going fishing but Carly & I do not last long in the “gulf of Mexico”.  I get motion sickness so easily and Carly does too.  It’s worth it to see this sunrise for me though.

 As tired as we were I knew I better get a jump on lunches for the week.  I put together 1/2 c brown rice, roasted kale and a salmon filet for myself.

 I made this easy broccoli & bacon salad for sissy.

Breakfast is the one area I don’t do good skipping but I also suck at preparing.  These are not nearly as pretty as the ones I’ve see on Pinteresst but other than that I’m super excited! 

That’s about it for our week!  It was fun and relaxing.  

For the 2nd time in a week I have been in the middle of typing a blog post, drifted off to sleep and woke up typing something that had zero to do with the blogpost!  Such crazy.  Maybe I need to meet here.  Like that for instance…that last sentence was not suppose to be there..lol.  Time for bed! 

Hope you all have a super week ahead!
