longboard lovin'

this past weekend was just what we needed.

zach + i have traveled a l o t this past year.

we have always been flying or short drives to Utah,

but we have never spent almost twelve hours in the car together.

it was

A W E S O M E

we laughed, rocked out + took some naps + packed our lunches.

when we finally reached california zach was loving every view.

i had almost forgotten what my part of california looks like right before the start of summer

(however this start is in the middle of february for some reason lol)

the night we got there we had some awesome sushi and stayed at my friends afton + parker's

we felt pretty at home, especially with their little puppy bailey

while afton + parker were at their class thursday night zach couldn't help saying over + over

"court we need a puppy, like bad"

haha too bad we will be traveling too much this next year and we can't get one yet! :[

anywaysss we took full advantage of the perfect weather on friday.

we grabbed the long boards + took to the park down the street from their house.

as you can tell by the pictures it was pretty fun
just to have to worry about absolutely nothing + just enjoy those rays :]

Wedding Ready - Part 1

I wanted to do a few lifestyle posts on getting "wedding ready"

the first being fitness.

in high school I loved, l o v e d being at the track + being in the weight room.

as I got older + into college I feel like I got lazier. like wayyyy lazy.

I felt like because I could finally make my own schedule + do what I wanted to do with my time.

that I could work out basically never because of how I was in high school

i know dumb logic lol

but anywayyysssss over the past year I gained my senior 7, if thats even a thing.

so I made it a goal this year to get back to a healthy weight I wanted

along with toned muscles.

so with a soon to be husband that loves his "gettin gains" time with the boys

I decided to get off my lazy butt + get to the gym with the girlfriends

it has been so much fun having friends to go to the gym with

(if you have friends who go to the gym, go with them! it totally helps your motivation)

we have made a little work out routine that fits with our comfort/strength levels

+ the boys make sure we are doing the form correctly so we don't injure ourselves.

so this has been my workout routine for the past few weeks.
now i am totally not saying this workout is for everyone.
everyone has their O W N skill+comfort level
for workouts that are more difficult for you, work up to the number of reps and sets that you can do.
but always try and put in an effort or you will not get anywhere.

my bridesmaid/workout buddy/gorgeous bfff helped me by being in some pictures with me for my workout post :]
