Staycation?

Isn’t it the truth?! Everything works out in life because God is in charge. If you trust him life becomes so much easier. 🙂

Time for a picture of  Spiderman Lily

Honestly.. she is too funny!

I feel like i’m becoming one of those “crazy cat ladies” because I keep posting pictures of my family’s new kitten but she is just cray cray!

Anyways. On to the title of my post! 2 weeks ago I gave my 2 week notice to my manager at work. I am now a free woman after 5PM!

My family currently has my cousin from New York staying with us for about 2 weeks. I can finally go places with my family and cousin because I don’t have to work! We aren’t going any where far, but mostly showing her some fun stuff around the Burgh’. It is kind of like a staycation for me so i’m pretty excited to see what is in store.

I photographed my sister and cousin Molly:

They requested to be jumping for our little photo shoot!

Recent eats:

Cherry Larabar @ work. It was so sweet!

Chobani + granola = <33

Spaghetti/pasta night! I even purchased some vegetarian meatballs! My sister likes pasta and I like spaghetti much better. My whole family is split on the pasta/spaghetti debate LOL

Blueberry muffins

Banana w/ pb. I try to like this but it always makes me feel sick so I eat the pb and banana seperately. Strange.

Huge hazelnut iced coffee 🙂 (and a messy kitchen!)

Do you prefer spaghetti or other types of pasta? 

Do you eat your spaghetti/pasta on a plate or in a bowl? (Idk why I like it in a bowl!)

I ran!

Sweet niblets! It had been over 3 weeks since I ran. The athletic trainer who is helping me  rehab my knee told me to try running on Saturday. I didn’t because I was busy/tired (rest day=yum).

Sunday I thought “today is the day”.. well actually I was quite nervous. I did my stretches + foam rolled + iced + put on my brace and ran 3.4 miles on the dreadmill! I didn’t have too much pain at all because the brace helped a ton. I was pretty happy with that and I was also a hot sweaty mess after running for only 30 minutes aka i’m out of shpe LOL! It’s all good though 🙂

On Saturday Jimmy and I volunteered at the South West PA TEA Party. Yes THE TEA Party that you hear about on the news. We volunteer about 3 times a year at these events and they are quite fun.

Afterwards, we went and saw Transformers. (Not my choice of movie but you gotta please the guy too!) I was rockin the braids all day bahaha

Monday (Independence Day!) was spent with Jimmy as well. We went to the biggest fair in Western PA .. The Big Butler Fair! Boy did we feel out of place. Coming from Pittsburgh, we felt like city slickers for sure. I loved seeing all of the animals though!

Biggest rabbit EVER? Possibly.

Whud uppp!

That’s all for today folks! Do you ever feel like a city slicker or a country bumpkin when you go to different places?
