he's back!

This week has been pretty rough. Not for any real reason other than the fact that I have been so busy and haven't gotten a quality work out in since last weekend. I am feeling like I am in a mini funk, although this time, I have the desire to get out and get moving, I seriously just haven't had the time.

Look who is home!!!

All sun burnt and golfey looking.

Last night I thought I would be able to sneak in a run as soon as I got home from work, but once I got there, I was just too excited to see Mike to leave. Plus, he already had dinner on the grill and I didn't want to miss having dinner with everyone.

Mike grilled some chicken cheese burgers for his dad and I. He spiced up the ground chicken with some jalapeno, onions, seasonings, and oatmeal. They were delicious. He also baked some sweet potato fries on the side.

I was so glad I didn't have to cook last night. I was so exhausted from working late on Tuesday, and I had some extra work I had to get done after dinner so I spent a few hours last night studying for a skills check off that I am going to at the hospital tonight. It is pretty boring, and I will be glad to get it over with.

We headed to bed pretty early, since the guys were worn out from golfing and the sun, and I was just plain tired. The pups were pretty excited to see Mike as well, but Deluca would never let you know that. He plays such a tough guy, but we all know he was bursting with excitement.

One little guy did not keep his excitement hidden. He laid on top of Mike for a while and then just sat there, letting Mike pet him for as long as possible.

So I forgot to tell you all that Mike planted us a garden over the weekend! I am so excited to grow some of our own veggies and can't wait for them to actually come in. We had made 3 above ground garden beds last summer, out of some leftover wood from our fence. Mike went out and got some of the veggies last week and planted them on Saturday. So far, they are looking pretty good!

He planted brussel sprouts and romaine lettuce in this planter:

and red cabbage and cauliflower in this one:

We plan on adding sweet potatoes to the 3rd planter and then hopefully we can get some tomatoes growing as well. I can't wait to eat one of our home grown vegetables!

We have lots to do tonight with getting packed up to go out of town tomorrow and me having to go to that skills thing tonight. We are going to DC tomorrow, so maybe I can get a run in on Saturday around the capitol, that would be fun!
