A Sort-of Outfit Post

I can happily say that we ventured out of the house this weekend.

I was NOT going to let these lingering allergies stop me no matter what, and as a matter of fact, I ran ELEVEN MILES this weekend. Don't get too impressed, though. I kind of thought that my lungs were collapsing after the first set of six. I guess a week off and decreased lung capacity will do that to ya.
Let's just skip to the exciting part, shall we...

Date Night!

Have you ever had plans to go somewhere for dinner, but you left it up to your husband {or significant other} as to whether it was a date night or a night to invite friends? You know you want it to be a date night, and yet you still put the question out there. You can't even though you want to be mad when they make a decision other than you wanted, but the game of it, I daresay, makes the date night more worth it when it's their choice. Hey, a little mystery is always fun in a relationship.

First, I have to start with the outfit. What is it everyone calls it? OOTD?
Anywho, I think it was perfect for a Spring evening in Manitou Springs, and I felt a bit sassy pairing my Frye boots with this demure little dress. Wanna guess where the dress is from?

Will: That's a fun little dress...
Me: It's Walmart, baby!
Will: I like the way your butt looks when you walk in it.
So yep, I pair $300 boots with a $12 dress. If it works, it works.



We enjoyed a nice little walk around one of my favorite nooks of Colorado, Will told me I could buy whatever I wanted from the $10 store {I did get a really cute necklace set}, and then it was dinner at the Stagecoach Inn. Homey, really fresh local ingredients, and we made it for Happy Hour!



It was a perfect evening, followed by watching the movie Argo, and my favorite pastime... snuggling on the couch. Thank you to my love, and thank you Miss Kelly for the poncho that kept me warm while we were out! I got so many compliments on it, and I think it was a great way to show Will's photography skills off. I didn't know he had any, but now I know who is going to be capturing the outfits from now on!

I am sorry for so many pictures of myself in one post. I guess we had too much fun with my new camera :)

Linking up with Lisette for I <3 Bloglovin', Sami for Weekend Shenanigans, and Leeann for Monday Morning Gossip. Check out Sharlee's take on The Perpetual Sleepover, and see if marriage has changed you for the good or the bad. I think it allowed me to pick up some good habits, but she's talking about reigning in the fun that they have been having too much of. I am intrigued.

Spread the LOVE.

March Madness And A Wonderful Weekend

After twenty-two days, I finally have my hubby back! He doesn't have to scarf dinner, do homework, go to sleep at 8PM to get up at 4AM, or work on the weekends anymore! It might have been Aunt Flo's fault, but I cried several times just overflowing with emotion. Golly gee...I just can't help but love him.

Knowing that this weekend would be his first weekend off, I asked Will what he would like to do. I was thinking he'd want to go out and get rowdy or at least get dinner, but guess what? His response was that he wanted to stay home, have movie marathons, and just spend time with me! Ooooh Yeeeeaaahh ;)

As usual we planned to go to the gym both days, but Mother Nature had other plans. She didn't care that it was "Spring Break", so we had "Blowing Snow" all day Saturday. That didn't stop us, though. We had a workout party in the living room, and tried Insanity out. I'm not a fan. I'd rather do Jillian Michaels or go running any day. Everyone's right, it is intense, but almost too intense. I want to enjoy working out, not have a heart attack in my living room.

Other than that, we watched sappy movies (Will knows that they are totally an aphrodisiac), drank Cupcake Red Velvet, and cuddled up by the fire in my adult onesie.

We also found time to cross some more off the to-do list:

My Kick@ss Cohost: 
Megan From Growing Up Is Actually Kind Of Fun

Thanks to Rebecca, I have made headway on my iPhone storage issues, so between that and the books that Will got me, I WILL be updated by the end of March Madness!
I got laundry done AND put away all in one day.
I REPEAT:
I got laundry done AND put away all in one day.
The Bogert's had a cleaning/organizing party on Sunday.
{I don't care if my husband has ulterior motives when he cleans. I like a clean house and sex.}

I cleaned 10GB of crap off my laptop and organized photo folders.
I've decided I take entirely too many pictures.
I installed my camera software and uploaded the first set of pictures.

I can't even put into words how much I LOVE this camera. The video is HD and auto-adjusts itself, the pictures come out striking, and the software for the camera is super user friendly. The following is basically unedited, taken without a flash, and I didn't even have to change a single setting on the camera. Point and shoot capabilities, but totally high quality!



Remember, next Monday is the final link up for March Madness. Whether you have participated along the way or not, feel free to share your craziness of March. We should ALL be proud that we made it through and that it's time for some Spring time fun!

                   

Currently...Not Much Has Changed In A Year

On a whim, I looked up the last "Currently" post that I did, and surprisingly, I feel like not much has changed. I know that sounds boring, but I find consistency awesome. Especially consistent happiness. {PS. We totally got rid of the mouse problem}

Currently I'm....

Reading...Blogs. Lots and lots of blogs. Still trying to catch up after last week.

And say hi to new faces...HI!

Ordering...YesTo Products.

Did you know that Aunie is the new Yes To Girl?
She reintroduced me to the line, and I am loving it again!

Since I ordered something, YOU now get 35% off (plus better online deals) by using this link. The products are pretty pricey, so I definitely recommend checking out the site. Plus if three of you order something then I get a $15 gift card. Holla!

Drinking...Coconut tea from Republic Of Teas

You know me and coconut.

Recovering From...Running three miles after not running for a week.
Jillian Michaels is great, but no match for straight up running.

Hitting My Head For...Overloading the disposal. Who knew potatoes would do that?

Avoiding...Going into to work on my days off. 

I am supposed to be working four days, but it's been 5-6 every week!
Playing...With my new camera that Will made me get got me!

He wins husband of the YEAR in my eyes. He knows that I wouldn't shell out the money for this, so he traded our old camera for an iPad, sold the iPad, cashed in reward points, and he's selling one of his TWO laptops {long story}. He said that I was long overdue for a special present, and this was just the one. I guess the hints on the blog really did work ;) I kid, I kid. Kind of.

By the way, the camera is just as amazing as I thought and more. It's as easy to use as a point and shoot, but more bells and whistles than I could have imagined. The fun has JUST begun.

Planning...Dinner.

Debating...what time to get up to go to the gym.

Crushing On...My supa'dupa' sexy husband.

Obviously he was on break when this was taken, hence the beard. It also happened to be his Birthday {January 22nd}, and he is making 28 look good!
Yes, I am that far behind on posting pictures.

So yeah...Life is good :)
