Puppies and Parents

My parents came to visit this past weekend, and of course the puppies came along!

I say puppies, these guys aren't really puppies anymore. We got to take them for a long walk on the beach Sunday morning - Duke, the grey one really didn't like the water, and Sasha, the brown one just wanted to chase all the birds. She mostly drug me down the beach in an attempt to get the birds. We had a nice weekend, watched the A&M football game on Saturday, and just kinda relaxed on Sunday. We went to the RV before they left this morning, and were going to take the dogs on another walk on the beach, but it was raining way too much, we couldn't get Sasha to leave the warm RV. So, we had breakfast, helped them pack up and saw them off before Caroline and I went home to get back to the school grind.

I know I haven't been good about updating for a while now, but I have been keeping up the gym time, and I've been taking pictures, see! A new season of the Biggest Loser started last week, and I don't know why, but that show really motivates me to go to the gym. It's like, "Hey, those people are working out. I really need to too..." Whatever the case, I got in some gym time, and I'm already excited to see who wins this season of the Biggest Loser!

Caroline and I have also been cooking some delicious meals. Caroline has been making these great salads, and making them really convenient for us. She cuts up all the veggies (except lettuce) for a particular type of salad and puts them in a mason jar. Then when you are ready to eat, all you have to do is put a couple cups of lettuce in a bowl, pour the jar of veggies on top, and toss with your favorite salad dressing! I really like it because I love salads, but they take FOREVER to make when you have to chop up all those darn vegetables. This makes it infinitely faster, thanks Caroline!

*Tip: Caroline takes one an hour a week to put together these jars. She normally watches some TV from the kitchen while she is dicing and slicing. Taking that time on Sunday or Monday makes eating healthy SO much easier for the rest of the week!*
