Our weekend in Auburn


For months we have been looking forward to celebrating Erik's birthday in Auburn, Alabama. Erik spent his freshman and sophomore year there, where he pledge Phi Gamma Delta and made a lot of friends that he still keeps up with!

 Thursday night we flew from Houston to Atlanta where we met up with our friends Kate and Barrett. We arrived at our hotel around 11:15, so we went to the bar and counted down until midnight- Erik's 28th birthday! Barrett bought us fireball shots and I lovingly let Erik drink mine ;). 

 Friday morning we ate brunch then headed over to the Georgia Aquarium! The whale sharks were the absolute highlight. Word to the wise- it is crazy expensive! For two tickets we spent $86! Yikes.
We drove from the aquarium to Auburn which was right under two hours. One of Erik's fraternity brothers and his wife met up with us, we went to dinner and had drinks, then us ladies turned in early. As for the boys...ha they made it home MUCH later.

 Saturday was game day! The game wasn't until six, so tailgating was definitely a marathon, not a sprint. We were so impressed by how welcoming and fun the Auburn fans were. People would pass us and say "Welcome to Auburn!" or "Hope ya'll are having a good time!".  SEC class at it's finest.



 We had so much fun, Sunday morning it was hard to pack up and leave. Which could have also been due to our raging hangovers.. Needless to say, the Jaynes family is really looking forward to our upcoming lazy weekend at home!
Gig 'em & God Bless!

I've gotten such positive feedback from my last post! I cannot express how happy the texts, messages, and Facebook comments made me! What a great community I have surrounding me! I have had a lot of requests to post a clean eating grocery list. There are a ton you can find on Pinterest or in any paleo book you buy. Here are just the basic things I get on my weekly shopping trip. **Keep in mind with meat, poultry and seafood: look for grass-fed, free-range, or wild-caught. Sometimes I have a hard time finding them, so just do your best!  Meat/Poultry/Seafood: Grass-fed ground beef Chicken drumsticks or thighs Salmon Tilapia Bacon  Dozen Eggs Vegetables: Broccoli Cucumber Zucchini Squash Bell Peppers Jalapeno Brussel Sprouts  Spinach  Leafy lettuce Onion Tomato Avocado Fruits : Green apples Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) Lemon Other: Egg White protein powder Olives Olive oil Coconut oil Coffee Yellow m...

Atomic Habits Bullet Points

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
