Routines

Lately, Add and I have really been trying to get in a good routine.  It seems like summer always throws us off a little bit since we're going here and there all the time but when we're home, we try to stick to somewhat of a routine.  

In May, I left First Financial as an HR Specialist and went to work for my parents for the time being to help my mom recoup and do what was needed around the house since she could not.  Since then, (and not just because of me) her wounds are completely closed up on her knee (from her knee replacement almost 5 months ago) and she is now getting to do some therapy on it 3x per day.  During this time it is very important that she still does not push it farther than needed which is where I come in.  I feel very blessed and thankful that I am able to help out for the time being and praise God for her process and healing!!

When I get home after work, I get about an hour to myself to clean up and get supper started before Add comes in hungry and tired! I try to cook dinner at least 4 out of the 5 nights during the week.  Add has done really well with his workout routine, as for me, I am walking/running about 4-5 times a week and trying to incorporate lifting weights as well.  It is hard going from taking workout classes everyday to trying to come up with your own workouts.  (I ended my membership with Hendrick Health Club when I left FFB)  

Other than that, we have really been enjoying having friends and family over as we now have a functioning kitchen and a cozy living room to gather.  We have also really enjoyed our life group on Monday nights. It is full of real people who truly want to share life together and encourage one another.  We are so blessed to have found them! 

We have a few busy months ahead but I am so excited!  In July, I will be heading to Austin one weekend for one of my best friend's bachelorette party as well as attending the wedding the following weekend.  We will also be going to the Frio River to soak up some sun and spend some time with Add's family.  They do this trip every year and this will be my FIRST year to get to go!  The past 8 years I have either been at camp, on a family vacation or been involved in weddings.  I am very excited to finally get to go!  In August we will be heading to Mexico for our 2nd Anniversary!  

I love summer time, swimming, laying in the sun, vacations but I'm not gonna lie...I may have told my mom the other day that I am already ready for fall to be here.  For now, I am trying to enjoy this 100 degree weather and blasting our window unit :)  

Update on our bedroom and living room next!  We hope you have a blessed week!
