I'm sorry I wasn't able to post earlier-blogger was down for most of last night and almost all of today. Not only was it down, but it lost a few of my posts and comments on them :/ Frustrating. Everything is almost back to normal, including me! I'm finally feeling 100% better. I took a few days off from the gym in order to get better quickly. Yesterday I was feeling lazy after not being active for a few days, so Jeff and I took Ollie to one of our favorite walking trails.

Don't mind my socks and clogs. These are my absolute favorite shoes in the whole entire world. I even wear them inside as slippers sometimes because they are so comfortable. They are so old though and almost completely broken :/ Jeff and my mom encouraged me to buy new clogs this winter (which I did) but I just can't let these go!


This pup is so spoiled.


It was a beautiful day, but unfortunately my allergies got the best of me and we had to cut our walk short to head home so I could shower all of the pollen off of me. Blowing dandelion seeds probably didn't help...


Getting outside, even if for only a few minutes, always cheers me up! It obviously cheers this guy up too (which he needs since he has 5 finals to take this coming week)...


After a long walk, Ollie looked like this...


(Have you seen anything cuter? Ok, maybe some newborn babies. But this is pretty darn cute! My brother-in-law bought this Westie stuffed animal for us and Ollie loves it).

Tonight Jeff and I went on a date to Red Lobster. My mom and dad sent us a gift card for my birthday last week so we put it to use! I wore a dress that I bought at Target today for $10.00-great find in my opinion and perfect for our date night!


We're finishing up our date night with a movie. Jeff has to study all weekend so we are spending time together tonight. I'll be back tomorrow with a recipe for stuffed artichokes! I found some small artichokes on sale at the grocery store and bought them earlier this week-excited to finally be able to eat them tomorrow. Hope you are having a great Friday night :) We sure are.
