Whats Up Wednesday September 2016
It's the last Wednesday of the month, that means it's time for our What's Up Wednesday Link Up!
Link up with me, Sheaffer & Shay the LAST Wednesday of each month so we can read about What's Up with YOU!
Here we go!
What We’re Eating this week.....
Since the weather is still in the 90's here in California, our meal plan this week reflects that!
Monday:
Chicken & Veggie Stir Fry with Noodles
Tuesday:
Taco Tuesday....3 ingredient Chicken Tacos
Wednesday:
Leftovers
Thursday:
Fiesta Stuffed Bell Peppers
Friday:
Friday Night Pizza Night!
I also like to make some treats during the week. Because it was so hot this week & didn't want to turn on the oven, so I am making these No Bake Protein Energy Balls.

What I'm Reminiscing about.....
Today marks exactly 20 years since I went on my recruiting trip to the University of Colorado.
It was the first time I stepped foot on the campus & I fell in LOVE!
Next month we are heading back to Boulder for a soccer reunion.
I can't wait!

I had so much fun looking through some old high school photos when I put that post together. So many fun memories!
Secondly, because my 20 year is NEXT year. WHAT?!?!

August was a BUSY, BUSY, BUSY Month!
We were in Lake Tahoe the first week of August.....
Then it was Luke's birthday & party (see that post HERE)
A super fun Girls Night Out...Cougars on Cruisers! Amazing Race Style!
The week after that school started...my 13th year of teaching!
Then last week Luke started preschool and this past weekend Kevin & I went away to Half Moon Bay celebrate our anniversary!
It was a fun filled month!

What I'm Watching........
I did not watch a lot of TV shows in August. I was too busy in Tahoe, getting ready for back to school & reading. But, we did watch the Olympics EVERY SINGLE day.
I absolutely love the Olympics & we stayed up until after midnight each night watching them!

What I'm Reading.....
I read a lot of books in August! Being on vacation for a week helped :)
I have read A LOT of books this month. Almost an embarrassing amount.
I haven't been watching much TV & I was in Tahoe for a week & we don't really have internet there, so I was able to do a lot of reading at night when my kids were in bed.
At the end of June, I read 1st to Die by James Patterson and it was the first book in a 15 book series.
I may or may not have read books 7 through 15 in the series this month.
7th Heaven:
8th Confession:
9th Judgement:
11th hour:
12th of Never:
Unlucky 13:
14th Deadly Sin:
15th Affair:
I haven't decided if I should be proud about this or ashamed....that I read all those books in one month....in the same series. I totally binge read this series...I loved it!

They pretty quick reads even though they are over 300 pages each.

What I'm Listening to.....
Pandora's Top Hits!
My current favorites are:
Into You by Ariana Grande
Closer by The Chainsmokers
What I'm Wearing.....
Now that school is back in session, I am wearing actual clothes rather than running/workout clothes/swimsuit that I wore pretty much all summer :)
The first 2 weeks of school we have had nice weather...in the 80's! Way better than the 90s & 100 degrees.
I've gotten a couple cute shirts from Stitch Fix

What else is new.....
I don't need new running shoes for another 100 miles, but I had a gift card to Nordstrom & THESE special Olympic Edition of my running shoes came out & I just had to get them.
I LOVE them & can't wait to run in them!
Question of the month is:
What is your favorite transition piece for Fall?
I have 2 things... I couldn't just pick one.
First, is THIS denim jacket. I wear it 1-2 times a week.
It comes in 3 shades of denim, the one above (which I have) and these 2 colors:
It is perfect to wear with a cute dress & it is works in any season!
It is great to wear when the weather is chilly in the morning...it's all about layers!
For shoes, THESE booties are also great in Fall, Winter & Spring.
The color is perfect for any of those seasons & they go with a lot....dresses or jeans.
They come in 2 colors....Mushroom:
And Black:
The heel isn't too tall, which is perfect for tall girls like me.
And, they are waterproof. They are SO comfortable!
I teach in them & my feet don't hurt.
I have them in both colors :)
