One week till Spain!!

Rob's home, he got back on the 3rd. Nice to have him home! Pretty sad that it felt so much longer than only two weeks.

While he was gone Danette and I started out serious workout regime! (hell yes) And we're doing great so far. We're both using MyFitness Pal, working out 5 days a week, and sharing workout plans and healthy recipes. I even got my first heart rate monitor in the mail a few days ago. It works great! I've only used it on two workouts so far since I just got it but, I love it. It's nice because it caters to me personally and allows me to keep track of everything (heart rate, calories, workout time, totals) despite where and what type of workout I do. We're super determined this time :D

yay POLAR!

Also, Danette and I found out that Globus (a supermarket-better-than-walmart place in Idar-Oberstein) has a GREAT wine section! We did a few girls nights while the guys were gone (wine nights, chinese food nights). Danette even introduced me to Dirty Dancing, pretty sad I'd never watched it. One night Katie, Will, and Jesse came over and I was even introduced to RuPaul's Drag Race.

I bought six and she bought six. We love wine.

Also while the guys were gone I was introduced to Eis Cafe, an ice cream place here in town. It's homemade gelato with fresh fruits and homemade whipcream. So yummy. We went two separate times.

amazing vanilla with fresh raspberry sauce and whipcream

the Pizza Eis. Vanilla with lots of fresh fruit and whip cream :D

BUT this week has been pretty calm, a few errands here and there. Today I finished my last final. WOOT WOOT!! I'm so happy I'm one semester closer to graduating! The Spain trip starts next Friday and I'm stoked! Time to start packing and getting ready :D I'm in Spain for a month, come home and then, about a week later, start my next two summer classes. Then after those two classes I have a few weeks off before the fall semester. THEN! last semester in Spring!! So what that's about 15 classes till I graduate!? So much planning to do between classes, coming home for my last semester, and Rob deploying. This next year is JAM packed.

In addition to life itself- work at ACS is going good. I'm updating their website, you should check it out, [Baumholder ACS], making calendars and flyers. I also was introduced to a lot more people this past week and will be assisting each of their advertising strategies within their programs. I'm excited to be getting a lot more involvement and responsibility. I might even try to take on another volunteer position with a group here on post, The Baumholder Community Spouses Club (BCSC) as their marketing/publicity chairperson. I think that taking on both positions will keep me busy and really help me build up good skills and connections for my resume! I'll definitely keep you posted on the volunteer-work front.

ALSO! Last week I started food prepping. Rob and I did it again this week to. Sauteed peppers and onions, zuccini squash and onion, cut and prepped potato bites, chicken salad, chicken breasts, pork roast, celery (for ants on a log), hard boiled eggs, and lettuce. So much food prepping!! :D

this was the first week's food prep killin'

Other than that not much to update on! I feel bad the blog isn't suuupppeerr exciting yet but I know it will be. Once I'm back from Spain and things calm down with the deployment it will be. Each month we get a bit more settled in and learn a bit more.

Later bloggy readers.
