Weekend in Review

Last weekend went by pretty fast. It started off Friday night with a soccer game. We ended up killing the other team and I scored a bunch of goals which was very nice for my ego and has not happened in a while. We also did not get stuck in any monsoon storms so that was nice. It was almost kind of breezy out. Saturday morning I got up early and drove out to Sole Sports in Scottsdale for their anniversary 5k and Cycle Bar class.  The run started at 6 which is late for me so it was sweaty but it was nice to run along the canal. I haven't run there since my sister and I did right after our niece was born (here). After the run I drank some nuun and got ready to head into the spin class next door. It was a really great class but I was sweating sooo much and I know I smelt horribly. Thankfully, almost everyone in the class had also just run the 5k so I didn't stand out. I love starting my morning/weekend off with a killer workout so this was awesome (and free)! Since Justin had to work that morning he dropped the girls off at my sister's house and I picked them up there after. They love playing with their cousins. We all went to Costco after and then later I took the girls to the mall where they played and ate lunch. We were all pretty pooped and ready for a nap after that. Saturday night we had some steaks at home and then Sunday I got up and ran 5 miles before Justin went out on a 19-mile bike ride. All of this happened before the girls were even awake! My sister was having a little golf morning at Top Golf for her birthday so after I picked up the groceries, I headed out to Scottsdale for the 3rd day in a row. It literally is the exact same exit off of the freeway for soccer, the running store, and Top Golf so I was kind of sick of that drive, haha. We just hung out the rest of the day and then headed to Dick's that evening to pick up some new shin guards for Everly's upcoming soccer season. Sunday night the girls danced to music up in their play room while Justin and I got to watch Game of Thrones! So glad it is finally back on! We also finally got some monsoon storms so I can't complain about that (other than the humidity of course)!

dying but almost done!

 

I am on the far right!

sweaty group!

900 calories burned before 8 AM.

Everly leared to take selfies!

 

I somehow won the first game.

Record Rainy Day

This past Monday we had a record rainy day in Arizona. We had been expecting rain as early as Saturday night and Sunday but it didn't end up coming until the early morning hours of Monday. I was awake because of my many trips to the bathroom but it was pretty loud so I probably would have woken up anyways. Plus, my alarm went off at 4 for the gym. I intelligently chose not to drive to the gym and slept in for another hour or so before getting up to shower. When I got out of the shower and was watching the news I realized I could not leave for work. This is what I saw:

Although that was not on my route, it was not far from my work and at over 40 weeks pregnant I was not about to chance it. I texted my boss and told him I was going to stay home until it calmed down. I decided to take that extra time to make some homemade pumpkin spice creamer for my coffee.  After Everly woke up and ate breakfast we worked on the letter "R" and made a raincloud picture becuase it seemed appropriate. Meanwhile Justin was working vigorously to keep our back patio from completely flooding.

 

Eventually we heard on the news that the Governor had declared a state of emergency and tweeted this:

 



 

Shortly after I got a text from my boss making sure I saw that and telling me not to come in. I was super excited to get a "free" day off especially at 40 + weeks pregnant. The rain eventually calmed down and then stopped and Justin headed to work. Everly and I decided to visit my sister-in-law who lives a few minutes away just to take advantage of the day off and get out of the house. It was nice visiting and seeing my niece's baby Remi, but I realized when I got there that I had a flat tire. I was stranded there until Justin could come and put my spare on during his lunch and am so grateful that my SIL was nice enough to host us on short notice. She made Everly a lunch and Everly demolished it. When we finally got to go home Everly told me in the car that she had fun at Carly's house, so it was all worth it! I was also able to take my car in later that night after Ev woke up and my tire was under warranty so it was not a huge deal. It was definitely a weird day all together but after seeing all of the damage and trouble that other people had in the storm, I am not too upset about my flat tire! Also, that little Remi is an angel baby. He sleeps, eats, and makes the cutest squealing noises. I sure hope Aspen takes after him...
