It's Still the Weekend

Hello lovelies! Even though I have the day off of work and it's still technically the weekend, I'm linking up with Sami for Weekend Shenanigans.

I don't usually talk about my weekends on le blog because I fell like that's exactly what everyone else does every.single.Monday. Buttttttt I had a fantastic weekend with ma boo so I just wanted to share some (poor quality) pictures with y'all.

Speaking of poor quality iPhone pictures, after trying to snap some legit pictures of myself for the blog, I've realized I need something better than my iPhone, or my Cannon I bought back in 2006. So if anyone is feeling extra generous, homegirl is looking for an upgrade. Just sayin....

 

JB and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary Friday with dinner at PF Changs followed by seeing Safe Haven. Dinner was fab, as usual. I could stuff my face with PF Changs' every day of the week and never get sick of it. JB pulled out his romantic side and wooed me with endless words of affirmation. He usually doesn't show his serious side for longer than a hot second -- which I love about him -- but it was really special to hear him speak from the heart. We finished dinner off with some bomb cheesecake...

We devoured over half of it before I actually thought to take a picture of it, but just imagine what it looked like whole with raspberry sauce and lots of fresh berries. My inner fat girl was so happy.

JB thought he was having a fashion break through when he paired his neon shoes with a gray sweater and light blue button up. I assured him it was the wrong shoe choice, but cute that he tried to be trendy. This is why I love him... and why he needs me in his life.

I bought this super cute cream lace tunic from H&M for our date. Seriously ladies, go snag yourself one! It's super cute. Of course, I wanted to share it with you so I asked JB to take a picture of me. At first, I got this...

 

And then after many of ridiculous pictures in terrible lighting (it was 1:30am) we settled on this goofy picture.

 

Minus my silly face and the terrible yellow lighting, how cute is that tunic?? I paired it with some leggings, tall black boots and gold jewelry. The tunic is long enough to wear with leggings but also looks amazing with jeans. Seriously, go to H&M now!

And just in case you were questioning how attractive of a couple JB and I are...

 

Happy Monday, ladies!

Mexican, A Venue, Sore Muscles, And More....

Friday night started off with this text conversation...

Los Tres Amigos. My favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious, the prices are low....what else would you want? The best part of our dinner date... I got to load up on that amazing liquid gold that most know as queso. Ladies, I could drink queso out of a straw. J is trained so well that he knows to go easy on the chips and queso so I can stuff my face. That's true commitment right there!

J and I took a tour of our (if everything goes as planned) reception venue!

Hopefully we can get things official soon because I've been stressing over a venue. Then the real wedding planning can begin!

It's very rare that Justin and I do anything productive on the weekends. Weekends for us usually consist of napping and football, but we actually worked out on Saturday. I know, I was shocked too, but we gotta get these bods in tip-top wedding shape! After expressing my concern about keeping future thunder thighs away and toning up my legs and butt, Justin thought it would be a great idea to show me the Super 7 workout. When he told me it was 7 squat exercises in 7 minutes, I was laughing on the inside. It couldn't be that hard....

....oh it's hard! Jillian Michael's has nothing on the Super 7.

I walked around like a 90-year-old grandma all day Sunday. I seriously almost crawled up the stairs of my apartment. On the upside, my butt and thighs should be cellulite free!

The church that Justin and I go to is (thankfully, a blessing from the Big Man above) right down the street from an Ulta. So of course, I asked Justin if we could swing by Ulta on our way home. I told him he didn't have to come in with me, making it seem like I was being nice and saving him from the pain of being around so much femininity, when really I just didn't want him to see how much I was going to spend.

 And I didn't even let myself check out the good stuff. Has anyone tried the NYX bronzer? I've heard only great things, and when I saw the price tag, I knew it was just calling my name. 

How was your weekend?
