Spring is Finally Here

We had a great week and an even better weekend! We headed to our friends house in Chattanooga for a Saint Patrick's Day party. It was great seeing old friends and just getting away, even just for the night!

We had a completely lazy day today. We literally just didn't nothing, until about 6pm, when we cleaned the house. We both felt fine, but apparently we are getting old because we were so tired from going to bed so late and sleeping on the floor. Oh the pains of getting old :)

I absolutely love decorating our apartment for different holidays. It is something my mom always did as a kid, and it helps the house feel like it is always changing. I love the outdoor door hangers I found for this year!

Never Need A Reason, Never Need A Rhyme

This past week was just another week here at the Gardner household. With the exception of a small unexpected bonus I got at work, it was a pretty normal week. I have really been enjoying my new job and I am finally getting in the swing of things and having a great month.

 

Friday night Chris had planned a date night for us and I had no idea where we were going. He took me to PF Changs, which was super yummy and then we got Flight from Redbox and enjoyed it at home with a glass of wine. Such a great time just being together.

 

 

On Saturday, Mom and I headed to Knoxville to see Mary Poppins. It's a loooong story, but it started out being four of us a few months ago, then Chris and Dad were going to go in their place, Chris couldn't get off, and Dad got really sick, so just Mom and I made the drive. It was at the Tennessee Theater which was so pretty!

 

Since we had an extra ticket, I invited my good friend (suite mate from college and mother of our ring bearer), Kristen. It was great to get to spend time together and I know she enjoyed having a girls night out.

 

 

The show was awesome and I loved the sets, music, and twists from the movie version.

 

After the show, we headed to the Melting Pot for dessert. We had to wait for the chocolate to warm up and we didn't want to.

 

I had such a great time spending time with both Mom and Kristen. It was such a great time of fellowship and I am so blessed that I got to spend time with both of them.

 

This morning before driving back to Nashville, Mom and I met up with Kim to have lunch. It was another great time of fellowship and old stories. I love that Chris and I have two sets of parents that we can look up to for great examples of a christian marriage. And sometimes it is just fun to hang out without the boys. So glad I got to see Kim and spend time with both her and my mom together!

 

Chris and I cleaned the house and both our cars when I got back and just had a scrumptious dinner of baked chicken, sweet potatoes, zucchini and squash. Now we are getting ready to watch The Walking Dead. Yay for relaxing nights with my hubby!



May This Be My Prayer

Healthy Food, Healthy Life

Chris and I have had two pretty uneventful weeks. We have managed to relax and just spend time together recently, which is fine by me!

I am always striving to cook us healthier meals, especially ones that will help keep my crohns under control. I recently made Greek kabobs and they were a hit! They tasted amazing, however, since we don't have a grill I had to cook them inside. Unfortunately they were smokey and our whole apartment filled up with smoke. At least the fire detector never went off cause we opened all the windows and turned on all the fans. So it looks like it will be a while before we get to enjoy this dish again.

I'm getting ready to head off to Knoxville for the weekend to see the musical version of Mary Poppins with my parents and good friend Kristen. I am really excited, even though I HATE leaving Chris. Even just for one night(makes me so incredibly appreciative for military families)! Hope you have a great weekend!
