Birthday Get Together, 4 Miles, Pupper Advice

Happy Monday! I hope you're all having good days so far! I'm feeling behind - behind at work, behind on blog reading, etc. But i'm looking forward to catching up - yay for motivation! Let me back up to Saturday - I finally did drag my butt to the gym around 1 p.m. I walked a mile at 4 mph, then ran 2 miles at 6.3 mph, then walked another mile at 4 mph - so 4 miles - not bad! I didn't have time to do legs or abs though - eek. That's another week with no leg workout or ab workout. Sigh. After the gym it was time to shower and head to Birmingham. We got to Mary and Jimmy's just in time to change, head over to Melanie and Joey's and then head to dinner at Dram Whiskey bar in Mountain Brook. They had reserved this cool lounge area which was PERFECT for watching Auburn football of course! The 10 of us had a great dinner (salmon salad for me!), celebrated Auburn's narrow win, then headed to Rare Martini for drinks and dancing! They had a fun DJ and Mary & Teresa tore up the dancefloor! I took lots of pictures and had so much fun catching up with everyone!! Here's some pics:

Mary and T danced for like an hour straight - love it!
They boys watched - they really were breaking it down - hilarious!
At Melanie & Joey's house
At Dram - private area for TV watching with cozy couches and stuff - I heart a lounge
GREAT Saturday. I will say that my camera died. Like 3 minutes into the night. However, the girls were kind enough to let me take pictures with their cameras!! The above pics were from Mary's facebook page - THANKS, MAR! ":)

Sunday I woke up early, couldn't sleep well! We hung out for a bit and then headed home around 12, got in around 3, cooked a bit, cleaned a bit and napped. Very relaxing day at the house - LOVE those days. I meant to work out, or at least do strength training, but I was really enjoying my lazy day of nothingness so I stuck to it!! I DID have to do some work, and so did Austin, so that worked out well - we both have big weeks this week and needed that day!

Q: How was your weekend? I had a great one - LOVE my weekends. This weekend i'm off to Virginia to see one of my best friends get married. I. CAN'T. WAIT. Her rehearsal is Friday but wedding Sunday, so I get to spend the whole weekend with 3 of my best friends.

Q: Do you have two dogs? If so, did you get them together or apart? How did it go introducing them? I haven't talked about it much - but am in the market for a sibling for Reuben. :) Sunday we thought we may be coming home with a pup and I was going to surprise you all!! But it didn't work out. :(
