an "official" weekend

this weekend was crazy busy and filled with fun, friends, and always food! it started with some of the most exciting news from within these past 6 years {well besides my engagement and wedding, but you get the picture}...i am officially a registered dietitian! yes you heard that right folks, i am official! after long hours and continuos classes {as well as that whole year of free labor} i have passed the test and can now officially tell you healthy ways to eat. whew! so after this exhausting test and exciting news, it was only proper that i sleep...for the rest of thursday. so that was kind of a blur. then on friday we celebrated the birth of a dear friend and enjoyed a little saints action! 

saturday, an event called "one for the orphan" where other people {pssh not me} ran a 5k and one man biked for 24 hours! thats correct....24 hours sans break for charity to support orphans in africa. 

i helped a friend in selling the stupendous products of a ministry called sak saum. 

you must check it out! i mean just look at this purse! perfection.

following, a continuation of my friend's birth celebration {we are serious about our birthdays around here} with a trip and all day event in lafayette. complete with shopping, food, and card game playing.

twas a good weekend and an amazing celebration for the end of an era...ahhh RD, thats me! and now for a job...

a day in the life of...

so i find that im always intrigued by typical people's lives. are you? why are we? I mean many people lead similar lives to ours but i know for me if anyone posts about their day, im always dying to know the whats, whos, wheres, and whys. maybe it's because it gives me a closer bond to the writer behind the blog or maybe it's just cause i'm nosy ;) but whatever the case, i've decided these will be common {yet not overdone} occurrences on my blog: a picture report of my day. so here is is a day in the life of an intern on a field trip....pretty specific huh? :)

since my fieldtrip was close to my hubby's work i just rode in with him

because i was a little early after dropping him off at work i stopped by starbucks to grab a coffee and do my usual morning blog hopping! good ole skinny hazelnut latte'

 so today was kind of unusual though because i had a field trip to the bittersweet dairy manufacturer...and the other interns and i got to taste ahhh maze ing non-processed non-artificial flavored yogurts and cheeses

delish!

for you local louisianians, they sell this yogurt at whole foods...it's yummy!

then my class took a trip to a nursing home to learn charting techniques in long-term care while we enjoyed our sample ice cream from the dairy!

after the fieldtrip was over i picked my man up from his long day

and he asked to go to bass pro...i obliged :)

what the heck is a zoom baby brush hog anyway?!?!

if it were up to hubs our living room would look like this. camo=not my favorite

we then got home, ran to hobby lobby and michaels and stayed up making invitations for our friends' honey do shower he is helping host...eeekkkk they are getting married soon!

the reveal of these invitations will be coming soon!

so there was my day....not quite glamorous but such fun!

check out those lanterns!

we were on magazine...of course we did some shopping!
