It is Friday. Thank goodness! I have such a packed weekend planned which is fabulous!
It is impossible to find one favorite weekend event so I’ll just list all of them!
Saturday: Sertoma Chicken BBQ {this is the largest BBQ in the world!} & CrossFit Competition
Sunday: Breakfast to celebrate my Dads birthday & Spooky Nook Open House {the largest sports complex in the nation!}
It is definitely going to be an awesome weekend!
Favorite Snack: Quest Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup! So delicious. {PS: Stay tuned for a Quest Bar giveaway soon!}
Favorite New Dish Soap: {AD} I got these two bad boys in my Influenster VoxBox. I love them already. My mom said it is like doing dishes with a water softener {ours is having some major issues}
Favorite Deal: Perfect gift for fathers day or a graduation gift or a birthday gift!
Favorite Workouts: I have been running at least 2 miles each day this week and have been loving it! It isn’t even taking that much time out of my day like I thought it would! I mean it is only 20 minutes. I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep at night so I have more time to workout.
That is all of the favorites I got.
Questions: What do you have planned for this weekend? Do you like packed weekends or lazy weekends?

It is Wedding Friday and I have some great photos to share with you today! Yes, they are of the second half of our engagement pictures! I have two as a preview for you here and then I’ll have a link to a couple of more! (:
Well this one didn’t work out as planned, this time! I love it though. Hunter is in full force running away haha! Definitely the funniest picture of the day!
We used some props that I had made up. I told you about them before the shoot. I love this one. It is cute!
I love all of the other ones I have seen too. Click here to go to DJC Production’s website. They have about a dozen more pictures there! Then come back here and tell me which one you LOVE! Because I know that you have to have a favorite they are just too adorable!
A SPECIAL thanks of course to Steph from DJC Pro for doing our pictures. You are awesome and I love you! (:

So… Remember when I signed up for my first half marathon and I said I never thought I would do something like that? Well, I did another crazy thing… I signed up… for my first CrossFit Competition!
and… its this weekend!
I didn’t sign up for the open earlier this year because I just don’t think I’m ready. I think I might have did one workout rx’d in my whole entire life. I’m just not at that awesome CrossFitter status yet.
I honestly wasn’t going to sign up for this one either. I kept trying to find excuses on stuff to do so I didn’t have to do it but when it came down to it I figured 1. it’s at my box {so I’m comfortable with most of the people and the location} 2. they have a scaled option and 3. We are doing the competition for an awesome reason: In honor of a fallen hero and those currently serving. If they can serve for our nation I can do a CrossFit competition.
The WOD I will be doing is:
10 min AMRAP-
11 banded pull ups
22 squats 25 lb plate at chest
I’m really excited. I think Eric might even come and watch. I hear the atmosphere during competition is awesome. Hopefully I can get some pictures of me for the blog since I think I posted like 1 picture of me doing CrossFit before!
Question: Did you ever compete in a CrossFit competition?

Spring is here and you may be thinking about going on a hike. Last year Eric and I went on so many! This year though we aren’t off to a great start. We are getting lazy already in our old age {okay, I’m kidding} But, since the time is here you may be thinking about going on a hike so I came up with a list of tips if you plan on going hiking.
-Don’t approach or feed animal. You never know when there are going to be rattle snakes, bears, etc. {okay a little dramatic for Lancaster County, Pennsylvania but you get my drift.}
-Stay on the trails. It is very easy to get lost. Trust me. Been there, did that. Once you lose track it is sometimes hard to find your way back to your car, especially when there is more than one trail.
-Beat the heat. Go on hikes before prime sun time. So in the morning is always a good call.
-Bring Water. This is good to do everywhere and anywhere you go but when you are hiking in warm weather you are going to need it even more.
-Watch the weather. You don’t want to get caught out in a thunderstorm or any rain really. You also want to make sure its not going to be 100 degrees.
-Wear sunscreen and bug repellent. Sunscreen so you don’t get burnt. Bug repellant so you don’t get eaten to death by bugs.
-Dress appropriately. It is always a good idea to wear long sleeves and long pants when going on hikes. That way if you brush up to poison or you hit a stick the wrong way you are still good to go.
Those my friends are the tips I have for you. Now lets get hiking.
Questions: Do you go hiking a lot? Are there any tips you would add?
