Our Perfect Mix of Productivity and Relaxation

This weekend was our perfect mix of productivity and laziness. We don't want to feel like we completely wasted the weekend by laying on the couch the entire time, but we also don't love waking up Monday morning feeling like we need a weekend to recover from our weekend. I'm all about the balance. Friday night we were itching to get out of the house, so we met some friends at our favorite local Mexican restaurant, Rio Bravo. Funny story: We were there with four other guys, and three of them all ordered drinks and didn't get carded (we are all between ages 23-25). I just ordered a water, and then Parker ordered a beer. Without hesitation, the waitress looked at Parker and said "Can I see your ID? Sorry, you're baby-faced!" We were all laughing and giving him a hard time, and then she pointed to me and said "Well I would have asked for her's, but she ordered a water". Sad day for the Phelps duo. On another note, check out the size of the margaritas at this place! Robbie and James ordered these babies and they were giant.

After I ate my weight in chips and salsa, we all went to the bowling alley. I have always been a pretty terrible bowler, but I enjoy the social aspect of it. I was definitely wishing some of my girlfriends could have made it when I pulled out my phone to take pictures because these boys were less than enthused. They eventually cooperated though!

Saturday was definitely the relaxation portion of the weekend. It rained pretty much all day, and I can't think of a better excuse not to leave the house. Parker caught up on his video gaming, I baked, and we had homemade potato soup for dinner and a movie night in. Ahhh, perfection.

Sunday was your typical "get ready to start the week" day, but we did get out for church and a little lunch date at Steak & Shake. We even walked around the mall a little bit where Parker was able to make some friends. Can you spot him?

I took Jenny Jenny took me on a walk for a little workout sesh and we ended the weekend catching up on our favorite TV shows. I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend as well!!

Happy Monday!
