MIMM #3!

Good Morning, everyone! Hopefully your weekends were just what you needed to kick off another week! I actually have off today because it’s President’s Day, so schools are closed. Lucky Me  

It’s also time for another Marvelous In My Monday! 

Marvelous Was…

• Getting plenty of rest and relaxation this weekend to feel better and actually feeling better! Ear feels better, less coughing, and my stitches aren’t in as much pain anymore! Still annoying and can’t lean on anything so sleeping is hard but ill take it as a win!
• Catching up on all my DVR shows! I still have to catch up on Revenge,  but I watch that with my parents so we need to set up some time!

• Going to our first marriage class- we didn’t fight and actually not learning anything we didn’t already know! It was on communication, but we handled it like rock stars! After 8 years, we really do know each other. As all the other couples were in deep conversations comparing answers, Aaron and I were tearing up from laughing that we had the same answers! Pretty awesome and makes me feel like we are totally ready for marriage! Lets hope the rest of the classes tell us that!

• Making French toast yesterday!

It was quite the easy recipe so here goes!

Ingredients:

• I egg
• 2 Pieces of whole wheat bread
• Olive Oil Spray
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 Banana

Instructions:

1. Heat pan on medium
2. Mash up banana, and then mix egg with it
3. Add cinnamon and vanilla and whisk.
4. Spray pan with cooking spray.
5. Dip both sides of both pieces of bread in coating. Cook each side on medium heat (I continually flip mine because I’m too impatient so I don’t know how long it should be!)
6. I then coated mine with some maple syrup and I was good to go! It was very yummy

• Going to Trader Joe’s and finding this hummus that I am now in love with and obsessed with!   Perfect for dipping pretzels in!

So, there you have it! Hope everyone’s Monday is as Marvelous as possible! Catch ya later today!

I am going to apologize in advance. I am looking into switching to the Genesis Framework, which may cause some issues on the blog for right now! Please be patient! I will try to make it as fast and painless as possible! Thank you

Questions:

• What’s your favorite flavor of hummus?
• Any advice for switching blog frameworks?

Marvelous In My Monday #2

 

Good morning, all! I have to say, my weekend flew by. I did not want it to end! Before I knew it, it was Sunday and that, my friends, is a shame. It was very enjoyable, though, and I hope all of yours were too!

The good news about Mondays, though, are that it is Marvelous In My Monday already!!!!

Yesterday was marvelous in itself because:

• Aaron and I went out house searching, again, and came up with a few that we like! (More on that this afternoon).
• We also took on a cooking challenge from his family. Not really a challenge, but feeding the 10 that will be there is!

The dinner was a one pot deal! Super easy, and all the ingredients went right inside the foil and then cooked in the oven!  Also made for easy clean up!

• Being able to bake cookies for the family, and knowing they love and appreciate them!

• Having my momma test out my new workout that will be up tomorrow! She approved
• Cooking a yummy yummy dinner for everyone and getting great reviews!
• Being able to have some downtown and just hang out with my family.
• The weather finally seemed to give us a beak yesterday! It reached the 40’s AND had sun! Haven’t had that kind of a combination in weeks!

And one of the biggest marvelous things that happened this weekend was that we finally got a new treadmill!

I was able to run on it/walk on it/ test it while reading a book! Seems like a winner to me and I cannot wait to get back running on it! My mom and I actually put it together last night! We carried all the pieces downstairs from our garage and managed to get it all up and running! I will let you know how it is when I get to use it! This girl wants to RUN!

While carrying the massive thing downstairs! Extra workout for the day!

My momma reading the instructions !

Finished!

 

Have a Marvelous Monday, everyone!

Questions:

• Do you like to use a treadmill? I honestly don’t enjoy the treadmill too much. I would much rather be outside running, but during the winter, I am unable to do so! (For dumb reasons like I just don’t want to be cold, and I also have cold-weather induced asthma, which makes running quite un-enjoyable!)
• What is your favorite type of weather? The summer definitely wins in my books. I love to be on my boat and in the river, but I also enjoy fall temperatures for running. I enjoy running in the 50’s or 60’s, which is usually fall type of weather!
