Lately, Weekend Edition. :)
It's Friiiidaaaayyyy!!! Can I get an amen?!
This week has been a little nuts. Working in media sales can be a very up and down. Some days are incredibly busy; other days can be slow. I always like to be somewhere in the middle. :) But this year, the 2012 Summer Olympics will air on NBC and I happen to work for the NBC affiliate here in Corpus Christi. To say my office has been busy would be the understatement of the year! We've had last minute advertising orders for the Olympics coming in, we're wrapping up July's numbers, and on top of it all, we are super excited to see all of our clients' ads air during the opening ceremonies and over the next couple of weeks!

I'm Alive! // 10,000 Reasons
10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord) by Matt Redman
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore
[Chorus x2]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
Lord, I'll worship Your holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
I'll worship Your holy name
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore
[Chorus x2]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
Lord, I'll worship Your holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul

My First Paleo Meal: Pecan-Crusted Chicken and Fresh Green Beans
{My newly organized Paleo pantry}
After an overwhelming response on my blog, Facebook, and over text/phone with family and friends, Luke and I have decided that we are going to try changing our eating habits and eat Paleo. But before I share my first cooking experience, I want to give you a few of my personal thoughts/opinions about this lifestyle...
1) First off, Paleo isn't some off-the-wall religion. I feel like when people say, "I'm Paleo," it sounds like they are doing weird sacrifices and worshiping vegetables. This is not the case. It also isn't a diet; it's a life-style change. People that eat Paleo are choosing to eat the foods that humans ate as hunters and gatherers: Meat, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. You stay away from wheat, grain, dairy, and sugar.

Weekend Getaway: San Antonio!
This past weekend, Luke and I took off to San Antonio, TX for a quick, but relaxing weekend away from our crazy lives. This trip was also to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, which was last Monday. We stayed the weekend at the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch, and it was awesome! We had a very nice room with all the amenities we could have needed or wanted.
On our first night there, Luke and I had dinner at the hotel and used the evening to unwind. The next morning, we took an hour and a half tour of the facility, which earned us $125 hotel credit, woohoo! After lunch, Luke took a fabulous 4-hour nap (If you know how crazy Luke's work life is in the summer, you know that this is HUGE for him. Poor guy needed some major rest!), while I got a hot-stone massage at the Windflower Spa. Both of us got to enjoy a little relaxation. :)
On Saturday night, Luke and I headed down to the Riverwalk to have dinner and celebrate our anniversary. We ate dinner at Cafe Ole (not to be confused with Casa Ole) and enjoyed the beautiful lights of the Riverwalk. After we got back to our hotel, we jumped into the jacuzzi for a few minutes before heading to bed. Again, so relaxing!
We slept in to the best of our ability on Sunday morning, but check-out was a 10 a.m. So, we packed up quick and headed over to Fiesta Texas! Luke's best friend, Jay, and his sweet wife, Morgan, got us into Fiesta Texas for FREE because Morgan works in their marketing/promotions department. We had an awesome time riding rollercoasters, eating funnel cake, and hanging out with some of our best friends. Thanks so, so much Jay and Morgan!!!
We're home now and ready for a new week. There has been so much going on in our lives, both personally and professionally, so we are incredibly grateful that God gave us the opportunity to get away and focus on each other for a few days. I can tell that this is going to set us up for a great week.
