Jumping on the bandwagon & going PRIVATE!

Just wanted to let you know that after thinking about it, Brady and I have decided to make our blog private, we feel it's good to do so for safety reasons. I think I have most all of your email addresses and if I don't, I think Mindy has most everybody, but please leave me a comment with your email so I can add it just in case she doesn't have yours. I'll probably make the transition at the beginning of next week. Thanks!!

Fly Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee

Brady was at TJ Maxx the other day and saw these "HIM" and "HER" boxing gloves and just couldn't pass them up. I was so excited when he brought them home...they're pink!! We like to act as if we're in a boxing ring boxing each other. We wanted to get you in on all the action and bring you into the ring with us. I think these pictures pretty much do the explaining...

WARNING: This video contains violent content!!

It may look and sound as if I'm hitting Brady really hard, but it wasn't THAT hard. I just get really in-the-zone when I'm in the ring. And in his defense, Brady knows better than to hit a girl, especially his wife, so he goes easy on me. And no, I didn't really hit him where it counts, I was just fakin' him out!!

Random post, random pictures

Nothing too exciting has been going on lately, but I knew it was time for me to update the blog so, sorry this isn't too exciting; at least it's something new for you to read, right?! The picture of me by myself was taken today because I got my hair done last night and wanted to show you all. It's nothing too drastic, but it's still different. This picture doesn't do it too much justice because the lighting isn't very good, but I did color it with 3 different colors: dark brown, lighter brown and blonde and cut my bangs and she also razored it in the back and on the sides so it's really layered.



Here are some random pictures of Brady and I from the past week. This one is from last weekend when we celebrated our friend, Shauna Wright's, birthday at Olive Garden. We LOVE Olive Garden, it's not too good on the waistline, but it's sure good for the tastebuds! We loved the breadsticks and salad and shared the asiago cheese steak entree, we highly recommend it, it's awesome!




This picture was taken in the car today when Brady met me at work and we went to lunch, it was so fun! It's always nice to get out of the office for an hour or so and break up the work day; especially when I can leave with my hubby! I swear we don't eat out all the time. We haven't eaten out in FOREVER, but for some reason in the past couple weeks we've already gone out twice!

Will the real Brady please stand up?

This is in response to Alesha's post that she did about 'Brady's twin' a couple weeks ago. She and my brother were in D.C. and saw this guy on the train and had to take a picture because they thought it looked just like Brady! Brady and I wanted to see how much alike they really are so we tried to reinact the picture...black earring, furry hood, glasses and all!! Also, Brady didn't even shave for a week in hopes that he could get the same facial hair effect as this guy and, as you can tell, he doesn't grow much hair! I can definitely see some small similarites, but I'll take my handsome handsome over anyone any day of the week!

Swimming Lessons??

I turned on our camera today to take some pictures and came across these of Brady, I was cracking up!! He wants to do a "sprint" triathlon (a smaller version of a normal triathlon) by the end of the summer. He's comfortable with running and biking, but when it comes to swimming, he feels like a fish out of water. He's been going to the gym at nights to swim laps, but finds that he still has no technique and has to plug his nose and keep his eyes closed the whole time. So, he went to the store the other day and bought these goggles and this nose clip in hopes that it would help him. I just had to post these because I thought they were really funny! Hopefully he doesn't get mad at me!! I can just picture him in the bathroom taking these pictures of himself...Wow, what a character!!! Mom, I'm thinking of buying you one of these nose clips for when we come over and Brady farts...it happens often enough that I think you could benefit from it!

Zumba!

I went to a new class at the gym last night and I absolutely LOVED it! It's called Zumba. The word "Zumba" is Spanish slang for "to move fast and have fun." And it seriously was so much fun! It's a mixture of hip-hop, salsa and samba dancing with really good music. It includes interval training, squats, resistance training and lots of other good stuff. Just thought I would let you all know that I really enjoyed it and if your local gym offers it, I think you should go! At first I felt kind of stupid, but as the class went on I started to feel more comfortable and really got into it. By the time the hour was over, I was really sweating! It's highly recommended if you want a fun, great workout!

Am I spoiled or what?!

Let me start off by saying...

I LOVE FLOWERS!!

Yesterday at work, all the staff members received a boquet of daffodils to celebrate the 1st day of Spring, I loved having them at my desk yesterday and today and brought them home to enjoy over the weekend. Little did I know that Brady had another boquet of flowers waiting for me when I got home tonight! The boquet on the left is the one Brady gave me. He knows someone that works at a flower shop so he got to individually pick each flower, how sweet is that! I love how colorful and sweet-smelling my house is right now, what a great way to start the weekend!

*I swear I'm not scared in this picture, although I might look like it, I was trying to re-enact my "surprised face."
