And I think to myself...what a wonderful world

This weekend was amazing. I headed over to lakeside Friday night to have a movie night with Ashley and the kiddos. Since I headed out around 6ish, I spent the night. Saturday morning we had breakfast and then headed to the wild animal park. What a place! We went on a safari ride and saw so many beautiful animals! We were literally within feet of the giraffes. I have never seen one so close before..they were amazing! We walked around and saw some birds and bought some souvenirs and then my favorite part of the day...the elephants! Oh my goodness, I wished Mark could have been there with me...they were so cute, and we saw a newborn elephant. So cute! All in all it was amazing...After a long day of running and walking around, we went to Chipotles for dinner and then to Jamba Juice for  a well deserved treat. Yum yum YUM! When we got home the kids were still amazingly hyped up, so we played and had craft time. When the kiddos made it to bed we watched some TV for a bit and then I headed home. Whew, was a happy to see my bed :)

Throughout the night I was emailing Mark, and I tried desperately to stay awake to talk to him...but to no avail. I drifted in an out of sleep and next thing you know it was 9:30 am. I scrambled out of bed,  got dressed and headed to the gym, I made it to about 35 minutes on the elliptical, but then I had to rush home to take a quick shower and make it to church on time. I literally took a lightning bolt shower, and dried my hair and was ready in 20 minutes. Church was amazing. I sat and listened to the sermon and thought so much about my life and everything I have to be thankful for. The choir was absolutely amazing and moved me to tears. When mass was over I said hello to the priest and then headed home. I did some cleaning and organizing and then decided I was going to go to the mall to try to find some leggings, but they didn't have the brand I buy :( oh well. I realized how much more comfortable I am with driving. I def feel proud of myself for that. When I made it home I cooked dinner, updated my itunes and made a new workout playlist. I went to the gym again and had an amazing workout. Can I just say that Cee-lo's "forget you" is my favorite workout song? man, it really got me pumped! I am now currently at home watching SATC reruns, in between emails from the hubby...I hope this week is as magnificent as my weekend was. Updates soon, dolls!
