All the highlights for this week come from our cruise… + Here I am with my sister and oldest niece at Mr. Sancho’s in Cozumel + I loved getting to hang out with my youngest niece + Rob and I at formal night + Rob and Lu walking + We liked the Red Frog Pub More about this trip later.
+ Drew & Caitlyn were in Boston, so we went over everyday to hang out with their dog, feed and walk him + My garden is doing pretty well, considering I’m not doing much with it. + Kayleigh living her best relaxed life + Trying out some new shoes that I ended up returning bc they just weren’t that comfortable, especially for the price!
Doing a little catch up in between vacations. Here’s week 28 highlights. + Dinner with our ‘adopted’ Army son, before he heads off to his next training location. + This cute little lizard hides on the walk way and often pops out and startles me. + Celebrated Rob’s birthday with some Italian. + Happy to report Katniss was located in my neighbor’s yard. Not sure what happened, but glad she’s home…hoping she doesn’t disappear again. + Love this color of tomatoes.
Yeah, I feel like posting these weekly updates, my life is pretty boring. It is what it is though, right! + Kayleigh bringing me one of very dilapidated babies. + Next 3 pics across are from the garden. Love seeing these pops of colors. + Drew and Caitlyn came over on 4th of July for a little bit and Bigsby and Kayleigh got to play. Besides that 4th of July was pretty boring. I wasn’t feeling great so I was glad to just be home all day and not do anything. + Sadly, this is the last picture of Katniss…
+ Pretty Zinnia and lady bug in the garden + Kayleigh wanted to go with me (always), so I let her go with me to pick up groceries + Summer in Auburn means Camp War Eagle, which is the freshman/parent camp where they learn about Auburn more and schedule their classes for fall + Beer from Alabama – really good + Got my hair cut. I had been waiting since Rob has been putting my hair up in a ponytail until about a month ago. I’m finally able to sit on the couch, prop my left elbow up, and pull…
+ Our dining room table that was Rob’s gramma’s is always dressed. She always had the table pad and a table cloth on it. So it has hardly any imperfections on it. When we need to wash the table cloth, we pull the table pad off and let it ‘air out’ 🙂 + On Sunday lunch, my mother-in-law brought 2 of our nephews and a niece that she was babysitting. + Friday, Caitlyn and I did lunch at Hey Day Market. We both got tacos from Wild Child. Pretty good, but pricey!! + Eye appointments for me and Alex on…
+ I love these Nasturiums. + Saturday late afternoon, we went over to Drew and Caitlyn’s house for an early Father’s Day dinner. Here’s Drew outside grilling. + My dinner that night…yummy! + They gave Rob a sports trivia game, which we played after dinner. Fun times!! + Sunday, Drew and Caitlyn came over to help prep Father’s Day dinner for Rob’s step-dad AKA Grandpa. Here’s Drew putting the charcuterie board together. + Final product!! + Fried shrimp, hush puppies, and fries for Father’s Day. I didn’t get any pics of the 2 dad’s that day, but regardless, we had…
+ Rob and I ate at a newish restaurant called Conquistador. So good!! + Pretty eggs from my in-laws + Alex came over and we cooked lunch together! + Our former preacher who we call BC is moving to Fort Walton Beach, so we went to a going away party for him. + Kayleigh made me laugh so hard. Rob had tossed a piece of popcorn and it went up underneath the tv stand. Here she is trying to get to it with her short little legs.
+ Car wash – I’ve gotten some terrible sap from the tree that is draping over the driveway. + BeReal from Alex and his girlfriend. + Kayleigh’s sleeping positions crack me up. + We’re finishing up a bunch of shows and 2 of my favs are over for good. This pic I saw after watching the Series Finale for Young Sheldon. Also sad that The Good Doctor is over. All good things must come to an end. + I saw this comment on a political post about all the stuff going on with Trump. I had to screen shot it…
+ On Tuesday nights, Opelika has Summer Swing. Each week a different band performs and the OHS band sells hot dogs and burgers. We went to see Kidd Blue and brought some chicken fingers from Foosackley’s and enjoyed an hour of music and food. + I don’t know why I keep adding my photos of pizza and salad. + My flowers in my container garden are blooming. + Samford Hall is just so beautiful. The Friday before Memorial Day weekend, I walked downtown to meet up with a former student worker of mine who just graduated for lunch. I always…
+ AHS grad party for our friends’ youngest son + Monday night, Rob was out of town for work so I went to Drew and Caitlyn’s house for dinner. Then we played Exploding Kittens + Last week in the sling!! + Kayleigh loves to play in the mud *eyeroll* + Thai food for the win! We love Savanh Kitchen in Auburn + Rob made what he called ‘redneck breakfast.’ I had promised to eat whatever he made. It was Conecuh smoked sausage and ramen noodles (without the broth).
+ Rob and I went to the Employee Recognition ceremony. This year it was at the Gogue for the 1st time. Rob got his 10 year pin. (not my photo) + This week we also had these northern lights, which I actually didn’t get to see. So this is not my photo, but I wanted to remember it. + These mini-salads are so easy and good. The brand is Taylor Farms. I get them at Walmart, but I’m sure you can find them at other stores. They’re a salad kit for 1 person. I love the Caesar, Nashville Hot, and…
+ Auburn University grad party for 2 brothers who we watched grow in scouting. The party was on the rooftop of Map of Horton Hardgrave Hall. + At said party…there were so many cute Auburn desserts. The cookies were too cute to eat. + More homemade pizza on pre-made cauliflower crust + Froggy on the back deck + Katniss looking large 😉 + Kayleigh just because she’s so cute + Dinner one night, a friend of ours smokes briskets and pork loins and they are so amazing. This was so delish.
I’m back again…haha! I know I checked in a couple weeks ago, but between hiring season at work and physical therapy twice a week with home exercises everyday by the time I get home, I’m exhausted. So here we are for another weekly highlight post. + This week we went to Texas. Rob had a conference to attend for work. I enjoyed chilling out and doing a little sightseeing. Right near our hotel was a Torchy’s Tacos!! Love their cheese dip. + One of the nights we went to the new Ranger’s stadium. + At the end of the week,…
Week 2 after surgery… + Taking Kayleigh for walks most days + Lots of resting and watching TV. Rob worked from home till I went back to work on that Thursday. + Cooking is pretty impossible so I’ve been walking Rob through how I make stuff. I’m really learning how to communicate better with him through all of this. + Chicken ceasar salad from Staks. Lunch with ny daughter-in-law. + back to work for 2 days that week. + Dinner at Mizu Ramen in Auburn
I’m baaaack!! Still typing one handed for the most part, but will be slowly trying to play catch up. Here’s my weekly highlights from surgery week. + Rob and I ate Chinese the night before my surgery and my fortune quite true! + Day of surgery (Tuesday) – it went well – I’ll write more when i can type better with both hands + Thursday – Got to take bandages off and got a shower! 100% could not have done all this without Rob. + Friday – Rob and i went to the baseball game vs kentucky (2 pics) +…
+ Last week, I spent several days getting most of my seedlings planted out. I up-potted my peppers, but did not plant them outside yet. I’ll have to get someone to help me plant those out when they get bigger. + Kayleigh…just because + Alex and the kitchen crew took a picture with Auburn University’s football coach the night before the spring game (A Day) last Friday night. + Friday, I went with Rob to the baseball game vs Tennessee. I went to the game we won. So that was exciting!
+ Sunrise one morning when I got to work was spectacular. + The pollen is in full force. + Lots of food prep for after surgery. I made some Keto brownies. + On our work board, the prompt was to draw a bunny. This is mine. + Rob and Me at church on Easter + Easter lunch – this year we decided to go to Rob’s mom and stepdad’s since it was just the 5 of us. Drew and his wife were going to her grandparents and Alex had to work.
I realized last week, that my weekly posts were Sunday to Saturday, but I really like to have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in one posts, so I’m going back to having these posts Monday to Sunday for anyone that noticed… So before I jump into last week’s highlights, I gotta say. I’m 2 weeks away from surgery and the pain is getting worse by the day. I’m not sure how much I’m going to be able to blog from here on out. I am trying to finish up with a series that will run after surgery to give me time…
Here’s highlights from last week… + Drew’s dog, Bigsby, spent the day at our house on Monday, because he had fertilized their yard. + Monday later afternoon was my back/neck MRI. They played music through the headphones. It was 8 songs that I laid there trying to be perfectly still. + Kayleigh girl’s favorite thing. Taking a walk. + Friday Rob went to Nashville for the Men’s Basketball SEC Tournament + He also made it over to the Auburn Baseball game that happened to be in Nashville as well vs. Vandy. What amazing scheduling! + Katniss kept me company while…
