Recap of Fun with Great Friends!

We are having fun while winding down the last couple weeks of summer. I have really enjoyed myself, but need to get serious about getting back in the swing of things and having a routine.

On Tuesday, we received a late wedding present from Stephanie, Ryan and the Whitmer family, A JUICER!! We have had so much fun creating juice concoctions…and learning valuable lessons like the importance of peeling oranges/limes/ginger before putting it in the juicer. After our regular Ninfas adventure, we had some friends over to play games and drink some skinny margaritas. We tried to expedite the process by using the juicer, but our first go at it lead to some pretty bitter/sour margaritas (we have since learned the lesson of peeling, which makes it taste SOO much better!)

Wednesday, I woke up to freshly juiced OJ. It was very refreshing and started the day out on the right foot for me! After lazing around a while, I met Melissa for lunch at Sam's. Yes, you read correctly, Sam's. They have a WONDERFUL pizza combo: 2 slices + fountain drink for $2.70. Their pizza is actually really good too! Next, we went for pedicures, something my little tootsies have needed for quite sometime! There was an old man and his wife getting pedicures at the same time and it was hysterical watching/listening to the man. 

I went with my usual french tip

Thursday, we made an awesome juice concoction: mango, peach, pear, and apple. It was probably my favorite so far! We have really enjoyed our juicer! We also made it our to FREE TEA DAY at McAlisters, one of my favorite "holidays" before going to our BLAST meeting. I am helping with a leadership camp in mid-August and this was the first meeting that I have attended. I am glad that I did because it made me really excited for camp!

Friday, We had a double date with the Maciks. We ate at Cheddars (yay spinach dip!) and finally experienced a "good" Flaming Dr. Pepper from the Ptarmigan (where we were the YOUNGEST people in the bar by like 15 years) before heading to North Gate. We had so much fun!

Saturday, we had tossed around the idea of going to the pool and grilling but did not make concrete plans until about 2pm. We met at the house at 4 (was suppose to be 3, but life gets in the way sometimes) and juiced a bunch of fruit: watermelon, peaches, strawberries, oranges, limes and kiwi then grabbed the vodka and went to the pool. We mixed the different juices and had fun floating around. The watermelon juice seemed to be the favorite juice to mix with out of our group.

Stephanie, Whitmer and Jason working hard on the juicing!

Today, we finally made it out to the Bloody Mary bar at Ozona. Ryan and Stephanie have been telling us about it for weeks, but we have never been and to be honest, I have never had a Bloody Mary. The idea of drinking alcoholic tomato juice is not really appealing to me, but Jason really liked it. We caught some of the olympics: swimming, gymnastics, and water polo. 

While at Ozona, Stephanie showed me how to do this really cute and super EASY hairstyle! I can't wait to wear it out!

I am not very good at doing my own hair and I got it on the first try! :)

Anyone that has some cute (EASY) hairstyles that pull all of your hair up or some yummy/healthy juice ideas, let me know!!
