Weekend in review...

Happy Monday! I hope y'all have had a wonderful weekend!  Mitch worked all last week and so when Friday came around we were so excited to stay in and enjoy our weekend. Well every 6 months Mitch has to get a tb test since he works in health care... and his came back positive! So instead of staying in on Friday, we made our way to Fayetteville (Mitch's 5th time that week, and my 2nd), and spent the afternoon at the health department. Let me tell you.. I would be perfectly fine if I never had to go to that place again. It was an experience. He will hear from the doctor this Friday, so we will keep you posted. Gotta love the perks of being married to a nurse! Ha!

Since we were in Fayetteville, we decided to just stay awhile, have lunch and enjoy what was left of our afternoon. We went to eat at a place in downtown called Hugo's. It is underground in a basement, and it has a really cool atmosphere!


They are known for their burgers, so thats what I got and Mitch of course got a po' boy. It looked delicious! I found a good po' boy recipe, so if it turns out I will share it!
And.. what is a trip to Fayetteville without a stop at Ricks Bakery! We went and got dessert!


Mitch got his usual, cake in a cup... they always looks so good, but are just too sweet for me! I got some mini cookies! They are my favorite!

That night we went bowling and it was a lot of fun! It has been a while since we went bowling, so needless to say we were a little rusty. We enjoyed it and it gave us something to do besides staying home or going to movies!


Saturday Mitch had to work, and I felt so sorry for him because it was the most gorgeous day!!! It was 75 degrees!!  After all this snow and cold weather we have been having I forgot how much I enjoy a nice spring day! I spent all day outside and loved every minute of it! I already don't like winter and am ready for warmer weather, but after that, I am beyond ready for summer!! I taught tennis that morning, then I went and had lunch outside, ran four miles, and spent the evening reading out on our back porch! It was literally the perfect day!

Sunday, we went to church, and made our weekly trip to Wal-Mart. It was absolutely packed since we are suppose to get so much snow this week! It was pure madness!
We have been trying to save money on our groceries.. so we went through all the ads from the paper and online and actually came up with a ton of coupons!!


We saved about $20, I know its not that much, but for our first time we thought we did pretty good.  And we didn't buy anything extra that we didn't need just because we had a coupon.

We also went running Sunday afternoon. It was a little change from the day before when I was in shorts and a t-shirt running in 75 degree weather! I was about 40 and windy! I hated it! We are training for a half marathon, so we have to run... even if its cold out. I can't do more than 2 miles on a treadmill without going crazy, so I am going to have to get use to the cold. Well... I don't know if I will ever get use to it... it might be better to say, I am going to learn how to deal with it! Ha! Along with the half, I am doing multiple races in AR and OK starting next week and going through June. I have had many of you ask me to post these, so I will get all them together and post them in the next day or so. I am hoping many of you will join me in running them!

Mitch was on-call today and usually never gets called it. But today they called him in around 9. So he had to go to work, but at least it wasn't at 5:30am!
I have been cooking all day and have some yummy recipes to share with y'all! So next post I will be sure to post them!!

Have a great week and be safe in all this crazy weather!!
