Busy Bisbey : March 2017

Here's a little update on this crazy, busy life of mine! :)

Almost 3 months ago, I said I was going to prioritize this blog...and I failed. So, here I am again, recommitting to it! ;)

SEVEN

In my last blog post, I referenced that a few of my friends and I are doing an experiment on that consists of life changing habits for a month a time.

In January, we could only eat seven foods; this hands down was the hardest month for me. My seven foods were:

chicken
~~avocado~~ beef
peanut butter
eggs
sweet potatoes
banana
wheat bread

As you can see, I had to make a modification to my original seven. :) If you know me, you know that I have a sensitive gag reflex and real issues with textures, so needless to say I had to change one of my foods. Since January, I have had a hard time eating bananas, eggs and sweet potatoes. Overall, it was a interesting experience!

Breakfast at Blair's :) Gruene River Grill modifications

Russell was ready for this month to end, too! haha

Near the end of the month, I figured out now to make banana/egg pancakes, and they were delicious.

In February, we made a council decision to allow ourselves more than seven things, so that we could have work out clothes and professional clothes.

I chose:

blue jeans
black jeans
Teachin Ain't Easy Shirt
Red and Black flannel
Third Grade Team Shirt
Texas State Shirt
RCES Tshirt
Nike workout pants
Black TOMS
Nike running shoes
Brown booties
White dressy shirt
Green Shirt
Flannel Scarf

I literally wore the same thing every week. I added 11-14 for special occasions, but other than that I stuck to my 10 items for the entire month of February. I didn't mind this month, so much, because as we all know I am NOT a morning person, and these outfits required no planning past the first week!

Russell and Weller's Birthday

Russell and Weller turned another year older and we celebrated!

I've ordered this exact cake two years in a row, and had no idea it was the same!!

This cake was super easy to make and SO delicious! :) Here's the link:

Momma

February 3 marked one year since my momma left this Earth. I took the day off from work. I ate onion rings at Center Point (her favorite) and had biscuits and gravy for dinner (my favorite thing that cooked for us), all with Russell (both of our favorites.) I reminisced and cried and laughed and missed her.

Juliebear and Russell cheers'ed to my momma with me.

My sweet friend, Shannon Kelly, sent me flowers.

A special thank you to my bff, Meg, and sweet friend, Beth, for sending these cards to me.

While I miss my momma immensely, I am so blessed to be surrounded by such loving an supportive friends and family.

Lindsay and Patrick's Engagement Party

Bethany, Julie, Sarah, Melanie and I hosted a sweet little engagement party for Patrick and Lindsay, and we all had a blast!

Anniversary

Russell and I had a sweet little brunch date for our anniversary. We had plans for the whole weekend, but coming off of the flu, that was a no go! So, we came home and snuggled in our own bed. :) Happy 2 years to my precious husband.

Day of, not only did he bring me Chick-fil-A and flowers at work, but he also spent time reading to my kiddos! :) That night, we went to Huisache for dinner and to Marble Slab for dessert. :)
