Weekend Recap: Pool, Biking, Vegan Cookies & One Year.


Hello all you lovely people! Hope your weekend was great, and your Monday even better.

With as many pictures as I took this weekend, I could tell my weekend story without words! Such a fun weekend… so here we go!

We’ll start with Friday

Thursday night before headed off to bed, I put my bread mix into the bread maker and anticipated delicious whole wheat bread in the morning… this is what I woke up and found:

Hmm, definitely not awesome, like last time.

Husband and I determined that the machine wasn’t properly hooked in right, so the dough never kneaded… :(

Bread Baking Fail. sigh.

But that’s ok! Because Friday, was going to be a day at the pool. My sisters, niece and nephews came and it was a blast…

Definitely a blast!

Friday evening, Hubs and I went Blueberry picking with our Friends Greg and Melissa

Greg sprayed Melissa & I down with OFF, but the funny thing is, I have the picture of Melissa getting sprayed, and she has the picture of me :) so you get to see Mel’s reaction…

100_4554Gotta love the look on Greg’s face. Haha!

Hubs and I took a before picking picture…

Love that humidity! {blah!}

We got a ton of blueberries!

The picture doesn’t do them justice. There’s about 6 pounds of blueberries in there. :) I’ve frozen over half of them, and I’m baking blueberry muffins today!

After the blueberry pickin’, we headed back to Greg and Melissa’s and the super cook Greg taught Hubs and I how to make Ricotta cheese. The man is an amazing cook I tell you! I wish I would have taken pictures of the cheese, really tasty too.

Saturday morning, Hubs and I were still super tired from the late night before, but we got up and headed out on a bike ride through The Woodlands {has great paths everywhere!}…

100_4573For those of you who asked, my bike is a Road Master Mountain Bike. Nothing too fancy, but the baby at Wal*Mart for about $70 dollars. Wanted to see if I’d even like biking when I first got it, so I didn’t want to spend a ton.
I LOVE IT! So the my next bike definitely will be a road bike.

We road through some very pretty scenery…

and we rode to have breakfast at Black Walnut Cafe, really yummy place!

I had a tasty veggie omelette, and hubs had an American Breakfast…

after our yummy breakfast, we rode for a few more miles {the exact total numbers I’m not sure of yet} and then made it back to the car…

We really need a bike rack… any suggestions of a good one? We’re thinking one that holds 4 bikes instead of two.

When we got home, I checked the mail and WOO HOO look what I received…

VEGAN COOKIES!!!

Thanks to the SUP-AH awesome peeps at The Alternative Baking Company, I have two VEGAN cookies to try out and review for you.

I’m quite excited! I haven’t tried them yet, the weekend was so packed and I was living off a fruit high from the Blueberries. :) Can’t wait to taste them though. :) Thanks again Michelle for the samples!!!

That evening, my honey and I went out on a date together, to celebrate that ONE YEAR AGO on the 14th, my sweet man asked me to Marry him. :)

We went to dinner at a Japanese Restaurant, that was not that great. Bummer. But we did go to the proposal spot and reminisced of that day…

I asked Hubs to reinact the kneeling part and we laughed through taking the picture…

It was a gorgeous evening, just like the day we got engaged…

I am so happy this fantastic man asked me to be his wife. I am so LUCKY to be in love with my best friend… makes life even sweeter… :)

Sunday, I’d love to say was majorly eventful, but it wasn’t. I felt sick, head pounding, sinuses picking on me, not fun. I blame the weather.

So Sunday was a rest day and get ready for Monday day. But overall, the weekend was lovely and I wouldn’t mind hitting REPEAT!

So tell me, what did you do this weekend AND what is your favorite COOKIE? {I’ve got cookies on the brain}
