Memorial Weekend

I can't believe May is almost over. Where does the time go? I know we have been super busy, but WOW June is only a few days away. I can not complain about this weather. After the rain we had at the beginning of the month (more on that coming in a future post) I am so happy to have sunshine and a little heat. Despite being apart for the weekend it was a fabulous one for Drew and me. He had a huge project at work last week so we only got to spend Friday and Saturday together, but needless to say we made the best of it. We spent Friday evening at the Reds game and watched the team beat the Cubs. Saturday was a busy day for me work-wise, but we wrapped up the evening together with a grill-out with his sisters. His Army buddy, Josh, and dog Raina made an appearance for dessert. Lexi and Raina had a blast running around the backyard chasing each other. Poor little Raina was scared to death when Lexi greeted her at the door. She even peed a little ;)

Sunday is such a blur. All I can remember doing is working out and going to the Taste of Cincinnati with my parents. The weather was great and it wasn't too crowded.
After teaching class Monday morning I finally gave myself a chance to relax. Drew got off work early which made taking half of the day off a lot easier. I usually feel bad relaxing when I know he's working his butt off. I even treated myself to a little lounge chair purchase. I wanted to catch up on my magazines outside, but couldn't get myself comfortable. This baby was totally worth it! ps. It was $10 cheaper at Walmart than it was at Meijer!

I could lounge out back all day long. I contemplated buying a baby pool for myself, but thought that might be a little hillbilly ;) Lexi too enjoyed being outside, although she got tired of the sun before me. Taking walks in the morning also helps wear her out. I've been trying to stick to my 10,000 a day and walking at some point with her helps me reach that point. After my original pedometer got wet and ruined I picked up a watch with a pedometer which has helped me get back on track. It's amazing how few steps I take when I'm not thinking about it or when I'm in real estate class.
