Our Adventure updates.. of sorts.

Hello again.

As Central Florida has promised, the weather and humidity is trying to make me glow with sweat at 7am. It is truly an attractive image. Google Orlando weather and you'll be empathizing with me.

Last month, my husband & I celebrated 4 magical years together being married. We celebrated with 4Rivers and it was incredible. Next year is our 5th & we're hoping for big celebrations.



 other adventures.

Game night with family & catching Minions in theaters opening weekend. We don't have kids yet, and at first the only couple without any but no regret on my end. My husband was imitating 'Barney Stinson' from How I Met Your Mother. ;)

                          


                          


Other than that - at the end of June - I had a work injury that scratched me up pretty bad. Slip n sliding on concrete is never recommended. Hurt myself & my pride.

& as of late - i've been having starbucks dates + supporting my future pro basketball sister.

                            
                         

                             

Tomorrow - we're having our first #CelebrateRobinWilliams tribute movie night in honor of the late actor who changed our lives with his movies. I am pretty sure we're watching Mrs Doubtfire to kick this annual tradition of ours off. Tomorrow is his birthday and surely I hope he is at peace. :) -- J

                                 
 

#HelloJune

Hooray, first week of June. I am so happy you've arrived. Here are the best parts of this month:

Because I am a Gilmore Girls fan - every June 3rd - it makes me wish Luke & Lorelai did get married. That show always makes me smile. Especially if Paris Gellar is involved.

I digress.

Because I live in Central Florida - I can say that June brings daily 3pm monsoon rain storms, the start of hurricane season and since last month - crazy heat temperatures that are simply not cool. See below.*

Saturday is my brother's birthday. I won't be spending it with him but it's fun to celebrate. 

Exercise has become my newest and favorite addiction. The first thing I do when I get home is working out because I love it. I've been working out for months. This month I joined the #5MileChallenge partnered with both SparkPeople & my other favorite certified personal trainer I discovered last year - JessicaSmithTV. Check it out here! :) Her workouts empower me and make me feel drenched with sweat. But after all - one of my favorite quotes of hers - Sweat is our fat crying. 

June 18th - my hubs & I are celebrating 4 years being married with our favorite: 4 Rivers. This is the bees knees of BBQ here in Central Florida. I promise it will make your day. We cannot wait - this is our favorite place to eat. & this year I get to enjoy one of their incredible cupcakes too. Their Bake Shop - a cupcake is not one to eat alone. 

  

At the end of the month, one of my absolute close friends also celebrates her birthday. I haven't seen her since my wedding but I hope I will see her before I have kids ;) She's one of those friends you know you'll have forever. She is full of encouragement and I was blessed to meet her in college. 

In other news - I didn't get my second job at Target. I was bummed for a few days but honestly it wasn't the right timing. I would've been killing myself mentally to make a few extra $$ . Granted this would be going towards my student loans but this really pushed me to have a chat with my boss about finding my next step within the company. After 5 years (in January) I know that this was what God really had planned for me. It's time to do something different and I am on my way :) 

So far, this month has been insightful. I've been working on my goals, both for weight loss and for investing in my home. My 30 is in 4 months and it's all about being my best version. That's my big goal. <3

As always, thank you for stopping by. - The Robinson's.

fab friday!

After 2 weeks of not being able to link up, I'm BAAAACK for fab friday & this lady is happy!

Today I want to talk about these FAB things:
1) I lost about 5-6 lbs this month, gave myself a new weight goal (minus 15) by May 1st.

2) I met my goal for March for Pampered Chef (2 shows submitted) + I get all Help Whip Cancer products free :) (Perfect for my Help Whip Cancer all of May!)

3) I am in the last few weeks of my last MBA course and I have a perfect A.

4) Last week, I applied to work part time at 4Rivers in the Sweet Shop so hopefully I'll hear back soon.

5) This weekend is Easter & I am finally letting myself have Cadbury Eggs. Favorite candy ever and I stayed strong, buying some tonight :)

6) This weekend I am taking a much deserved break from school, for at least tomorrow. I am getting lots of house cleaning and reorganizing done since the Home Decor on Pinterest have given me new ideas. My husband = not too excited as me. Pshh. What a typical dude.

7) Part of my graduation for getting my Master's in less than a month, wheeee. is that I am getting a cupcake (portion control) and a bonus: All American Rejects at Universal Orlando. Love that I'll be there :D

8) Finally doing my hair this weekend-- kiiind of tired of people's comments that I have  gray hair. Yeahhh, not supposed to tell a lady about that to her face, weirdos. 

Have a wonderful Easter weekend :)  ~Jessica

3.My Bangin' Chicken sauce from Tijuana Flats makes any iffy dish AMAZING. 

4. I decided to be a great wife last night & bake cookies for my husband's potluck: White Chocolate Chip cookies. Bonus- I made too many so I still get to enjoy some.
