Crazy Week Recap

I am back!! Thank you for still being here :)  I can't even begin to cover all the craziness that has been the last week in our world. 


Thursday was my wonderful husband's 40th birthday! Truth be told he is a little spoiled. Every year we celebrate his birthday week...this year was no different.  Dinner out, surprise party, new toys...



The perfect surprise for my husband was pizza from all his favorite places.  With the help of some willing guests who made the pick-ups we had pizza from 6 different places. It was a pizza bonanza!!!





Found this guy at the grocery store.  Of course, he had to come home with me and join the Darth Vader I had given my husband earlier in the week.  See what I mean?  Spoiled.
I think this is my husband's all time favorite thing I make. Bacon Wrapped Chicken.  The little bundles are filled with a cream cheese, cilantro and jalapenos...yum.


My nephew's high school football team made the playoffs and had a game Saturday afternoon.  Unfortunately they lost, but it was an exciting atmosphere!  It was the first time the school has made the playoffs in 11 years.



My oldest niece got married on Sunday.  I can't wrap my head around the fact I have a niece old enough to get married.  Not only that she is my younger sister's daughter.  What??

Me with the beautiful bride :)
The got married at a nature institute overlooking the Mississippi.  They had the perfect fall day for an outdoor wedding.  This week it is freezing!!

Despite all the craziness around them the pups managed to have a much more relaxing week.


Millie loved the new toy...she gave it to my husband for his birthday...she is a little self-centered  :)



Now that the craziness has calmed down. I need to get back into the swing of a exercise and normal eating!  It was a wonderful week...now it is time to get serious. 

Weigh In Wednesday

    1. Give me a Stormtrooper over Vader any day. My nerdy husband immediately pointed out its weapon is in the right hand and Stormtroopers are lefties. Interesting. So excited for you - have a great vacay!!

  2. I love that last video of Millie. So cute! And your niece made a wonderful bride :)

    And where did you get pizza from? I'm always looking for yummy recommendations! Oh, and I'm happy to get together for a walk with the dogs sometime. Let me know when you are free! Maybe this weekend?

    1. His pizza favs are Roma's in Bethalto, Imo's, Joe's (Edwardsville, Troy, etc.) Of course, he would say my homemade is #1. I'd love to get together. This weekend is probably out - still trying to recover from this week and my I know my husband won't let me out of his sight.

    2. Totally understandable! Let me know when you would be free. We can even do something easy like a "training session" for the dogs....but mainly just sit around and chat while eating healthy foods :p

  3. Anna that's great. Looks like a wonderful week full of lots of happy moments. As for buckling down and getting our buts in gear, we can do it together. Today was supposed to be day 1 of my participation in the 5 am club, and I slept in until 7 am.... I'm also loving the idea of a Pizza Bonanza. Such a great idea, now to find a way to make it healthy...
