The anni

Hi friends! Happy almost-Friday! The weekend is in sight! Is it just me, or has this summer flown by? Itโ€™s crazy to think that weโ€™re already back in school season. My fitness classes this week have been PACKED since everyone is getting back in the swing of things after vacations and school breaks. I love it!

Today is our anniversary!

Here we are 9 years ago,

(All of my past anniversary posts are here!)

So much has changed in those 9 years, and my heart is so full. Who would have thought weโ€™d have such amazing babies together?

Itโ€™s been one of our more challenging years, but we make a good team. One of us always swoops in to help the other, and Iโ€™m thankful to have this guy by my side.

Our sitter was free last night, so we celebrated a night early! Iโ€™ll definitely share some pics in tomorrowโ€™s Friday Faves post. It involved guacamole and fab dessert, so it was definitely a great celebration. ๐Ÿ™‚

I was so excited to share a new slow cooker recipe with you today, but it was a giant flop. Tuesday night, I knew iโ€™d be gone teaching barre, so I wanted to make sure that dinner was taken care of. I saw a recipe on Pinterest, and thought it would be fun to use it as inspiration for a slow cooker coconut curry dish. Iโ€™ve made a few different curries (here, here, and here!) but I liked switching it up with the yellow curry power. It had a bold, delicious curry flavor, but I should have listened to my gut when I thought I should wait to add the coconut milk in later. I added it before cooking as the recipe suggested, and it confirmed my thoughts that the milk would get curdled and weird. Thank goodness for Pizza Port, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰

(It started out nicely then quickly went downhill.)

This week Iโ€™ve taught Spin, hot barre, Spin, and tonight is Cardio Barre. Iโ€™m excited for a rest day tomorrow and a little staycation that weโ€™ve had planned. 

Just wanted to stop in and say hello! Check out this weekโ€™s barre video if you havenโ€™t had a chance yet. Itโ€™s a burner, for sure.

Have a wonderful day and Iโ€™ll see ya tomorrow with Friday Faves + a little giveaway.

xoxo

    I made a coconut curry slow cooker recipe that ended exactly the same way.

    Happy anniversary!

    It’s always frustrating when a recipe doesn’t workout out. All those ingredients and the time you put in to it.

    • Fitnessista on August 18, 2016 at 11:47 am

    Happy anniversary! Such a picturesque wedding with all the cactus in the background. I’ve had a few flop recipes lately. I guess that’s part of the food challenge!

    • Fitnessista on August 18, 2016 at 11:47 am

      thank you!
      yeah, exactly! it’s always a bummer when that happens though

    Gosh, I had to throw out a meal this week for a similar reason. You all look so happy. Me and hubs are celebrating our 10th in 3 months and I get emotional thinking how full of love and joy our little family is. Life is sure some kind of beautiful crazy.

    Happy Anniversary! The Pilot looks exactly the same and the only reason Gina looks any different is just hair being styled differently!

    I would love to check out other curry recipes you’ve tried – I think you meant to add links (here, here, and here) ?

  27. Tati on August 19, 2016 at 10:42 pm

    Happy Anniversary! Wishing you two nothing but the best for your many years to come!

    I came to your site tonight because I tried the MOST AMAZING restaurant in San Diego tonight and I wanted to ask if you’ve been!! It’s called One Door North and it was seriously INCREDIBLE!! You can dine in the cutest little tents and they have a dessert called a s’mores bar that is amazing. If you haven’t been you have to try it out!
