Hubs is living his best life heli-skiing with some friends in Alaska this week. He did this several years ago and it was supposed to be a “once-in-a-lifetime-trip,” yet he’s doing it again exactly two years later. Hmmm…..not sure how that happened. Here are some pictures he’s sent me to prove he’s still in one piece. The guys are skiing with Valdez Heli-Ski Guides in the Chugach Mountains and are loving their experience.
The kids and I have stayed plenty busy while Daddy is gone. First, we took a little day trip down to Atlanta to spend time with my family. My sister and I (we’re twins) love just hanging out and letting the kids play. They’re so close in age and act more like siblings than cousins. We ate dinner at Chili’s in East Cobb and had to laugh because this was such a high school hangout back in the day and we actually ran into a friend from high school while there. He was also dining with his family. How times have changed!
Speaking of dinner, this is how I cook when the hubs is out of town:
And you know what? It was delicious!
Our weather has been so nice the past two days. The sunshine is such a treat after all of the rain we’ve experienced this winter. Emery and Bodie helped me wash my car this afternoon and it looks beautiful! The kids love taking the car through the Color Wave car wash and then using the mega strength vacuums to detail our cars. And I’m thrilled to have cheap labor.
Due to my bum knee (which is feeling so much better!), swimming has been my go-to workout lately. I sure do love a good swim. I especially love that I get an amazing workout and nothing hurts the next day. 
I’ve discovered a new drink at Starbucks and I’m obsessed. I think this might even beat out the peppermint mocha for my all time favorite Starbucks concoction: nonfat, no whip mocha with a pump of raspberry syrup. The raspberry and mocha are such a delicious combination. Try it! You won’t be disappointed. 
Time for me to hit the hay….I’ve got to be at school at 5:10 tomorrow morning for a field trip. You read that right. Yikes!
