I really live here

Hi friends! How are you? Thank you for all of the sweet congrat tweets on our future baby Pilot (or whatever he decides to do) 😉

[I love when one of her ears flops back like that]

After I last said hello, I enjoyed half a banana with almond butter and packed up an apple to munch on the drive back.

I tested out a new circuit workout that I’ll be posting tomorrow… and it was a super schweaty one 🙂

{no such thing as a non-goobery way to take an iPhone photo. Smile at the phone = goober, smile at the mirror= goober. haha}

After all of that fun, a shower, + the second half of b-fast:

it was time for a little adventure: getting a Costco membership.

Costco is a magical place.

They have amazing things like 24-oz Maranatha almond butter jars for $5.79 and a 24-pack of seaweed snacks for $9-something.

I was blown away by all of the healthy and organic options… it was pretty much amazeballz.

Even with all of my excitement, I restrained myself from going too crazy –the Pilot would raise his eyebrow at me if I came home with a 24-pack of seaweed snacks, a new dog bed for Bella, a 50-pack of bathroom tissue, and other random buys the week before we move- but I HAD to get these:

Zucchini pasta!!

I love making this at home, but it’s tough to pack for lunches because it gets soggy. Since these are frozen, they’ll be awesome take-to-work options 🙂

It’s funny because getting a Costco membership made me feel a little like we actually live here. Yes, I’ve been in Tucson since December, but everything has felt temporary since I’ve been here. I was staying with roomies and when the Pilot came home, we moved into a small apartment, with loaner furniture from the parentals and stuff I got at an estate sale to last us until we move into our house. We’re staying here, but it never felt like we *live* here, if that makes sense.

We always joke that it seems like we’re here on a quick trip to see the fam.Today make me feel like I’ll be here for a while, but the big one will be next week when we get the keys to our new place 🙂

It’s dinnertime over here, but I hope you’re all having a lovely night! <3

See ya bright and early 😀

Today’s workout jam: “Best Thing I Never Had” Beyonce. I’m on a Beyonce kick lately! This song is slower and kinda ballad-y but makes for a surprisingly awesome heavy climb song. As I was crawling up the treadmill with a high resistance, it motivated me to keep going, since I kept thinking “you sing it, girl.” haha 😉
