Thursday's Thoughts.

Another random Thursday post coming atcha!

-The ski trip was SO much fun! It started snowing almost immediately once we got to Boone and was almost continuous throughout the entire weekend. We wound up skiing a whole day on Saturday and a half day on Sunday. I hadn't been skiing since high school so my first run was really sloppy and I almost killed myself by going straight the entire time rather than zig-zagging. I was hauling ass and was seriously scared for my life. Oops. After that, it was like riding a bike. It all came back to me. :)

The guys enjoying the hot tub. None of the girls stepped foot in it all weekend, surprisingly.
We also found some plastic sleds in a closet at the house. I think we might have had more fun sledding than skiing. Possibly.

-Cameron's sweet parents gave me us this SUPER soft and cozy planket from Pottery Barn. They received one for Christmas and every time I go over to their house I grab it from their bedroom and cozy up with it. It's on sale right now so I suggest you get one! You won't regret it!

-Not gonna lie, even though wedge salads are super easy to make, I was pretty proud of how mine turned out. :)


-I like to take pictures of my meals.
French toast casserole topped with bananas fosters (minus a bite) that I made for everyone before a day of skiing!
Avocado & tomato bruschetta sprinkled with balsalmic vinegar. SO GOOD.
Pork chop, skinny potatoes au gratin & sauteed kale with tomatoes and feta.
-After almost a year and a half break (when he bought the house), Cameron and I are members of a gym again! We used to both be members of Pivotal but now we're at East Shore. I can already tell I'm going to love it. So much closer to our house and I have lots of friends that are members there, which will motivate me to actually go! I did a core class on Tuesday, Taebo last night and Emily & I are trying out Zumba tonight! Some awesome white girl moves are going to be happening.

All for now! :)

  3. Yum! All of those recipes look so good! I tried Zumba the other day and I'm sure I looked ridiculous, but I had so much fun!

  4. The first (and only) time that I went skiing was in Boone as well! It was quite awful, but I just need to learn how. Those meals look DELISH! Would you share the recipe for the bruschetta? :)

  5. Yay Boone! That's where I learned to ski when I was little - I grew up close to there. Glad you had fun! And I love Zumba, makes the hour of workout time go by so much faster.

  11. Hi - I'm a new reader to your blog. I live in Knoxville, TN so we travel to the Boone area a lot to go snowboarding. Love it there! It's only about 3 hours from here so you can pretty easily do a day trip or make a weekend out of it. Hope you had fun!
