Two and a Half Years

Today has already been a good day, but the best is yet to come!

Last night was a late one. I had a french essay due and a history midterm, so I was immersed in work and studying my entire Sunday. I ended up going to sleep around 1 and waking up at 6:30 to finish up some last minute reviewing. However, I think my essay turned out fairly well (thanks. Tiana, for proofreading it!) and my history midterm was a breeze. I also got back my French and Chemistry midterms and am pleased with my grades. It’s been a good day!

However, things are just going to get better! Today marks our 2 1/2 year dating anniversary, so Kyle and I have plans to go out to a fancy shmancy restaurant called Cold Spring Tavern. It began as a stagecoach stop in 1886 and was chosen as the best place in California for a romantic getaway. It’s become “our place” after going there on Valentine’s Day, and I absolutely adore it. I can’t wait!

Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day

Moving on!

Breakfast 

Today started off on a good note with a delicious bowl of oatmeal. I added some raisins and honey to give it some extra flavor and a banana that I ended up cutting up and mixing in as well! As always, coffee made an appearance.

So much nommage!

So much nommage!

Lunch

Lunch was filled to the brim with veg! I had some steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots with a piece of roast chicken and sun-dried tomato bread. Raw carrots/celery with hummus and spinach dip on the side.

Workout

After a power nap I read some blogs and decided that a quick workout would be a perfect way to stretch out my legs.

I did a quick 25 (or should I say 24:59) minute workout that had my calves burning!

If you couldn’t tell by my timing, I was dying to push that stop button! It was AWESOME 😉

After doing some work, I got ready to go out to dinner with my parents (who came up to visit). I was feeling fierce so I threw on some animal print ;).

We went out to a nice restaurant with a semi-French theme. The entire menu was very eclectic! We started off with a nice little appetizer which let us sample quite a few things. For my main course I got the Duck-Duo that featured a pan roasted breast, fresh sausage, sweet potato hash, and duck demi-glace. It was really good, but the portions were a little small for my liking! Kyle got scallops and thoroughly enjoyed his, though it wasn’t nearly enough food for a big guy like him.

My mom ended up buying us a two pound box of See’s candy… on top of the two one pound gift certificates she sent in the mail! After dinner we walked over to State Street to collect our goodies.

I got a little excited...

Hopefully it will last at least a week 😉

Moving on, of course we had to follow up on some fro-yo to help even out the small portions of dinner ;). This baby was a serious monster!

It probably would be easier to list which flavors we DIDN'T get!

We got back home around 8:30, and let me tell you, I’m exhausted. That workout this morning sure did me in! I’m hoping to get some more work done before I call it a night though. I have a French essay and History midterm on Monday, so I gotta get crackin’!

Hope ya’ll have a great night :)
