Love is in the air!
In the past nine days two of my very best friends in the entire world got engaged!
Michaela, my best friend since elementary school, got engaged to her wonderful boyfriend Kyle yesterday on a hike in Colorado.
(Picture from my visit to see Michaela in Denver in February.)
And last Saturday, Merri, one of my best friends from college, got engaged to her boyfriend Pete after he proposed to her on a picnic in Central Park in New York City.
(Picture from Will and Alex’s wedding in January.)
I am so happy for them and think the world of their future husbands as well. Lots of wedding fun in 2013!
Workout
This morning I awoke around 6 a.m. and drove to the gym for a workout.
Phase Two of Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp started today and incorporated super sets with cardio thrown in between. It was a good one and I was in and out of the gym in less than an hour.
On my way out, I grabbed one of the complimentary apples to eat on the way home.
Breakfast
Once I arrived back at my parents’ house, I fixed myself a breakfast that totally hit the spot.
While this may look like an ordinary bowl of scrambled eggs, these eggs were some of the best I’ve made thanks to two special ingredients: Edamame and crab!
The parmesan cheese, onion and orange pepper deserve a little credit for the fantastic flavor, too. I loved this bowl of eggs!
With food in my belly, I drove to my 9 a.m. dentist appointment which went well.
On the way back home, I swung by The Fresh Market to pick up some things and left with a fancy new drink that caught my eye.
Sparkling? Coconut? It sounded right up my alley, but unfortunately it tasted like armpit. I took two sips and couldn’t power through the rest. Not the drink for me.
August Book Club
Before signing off for the morning, I must announce the winning book for the PBF August Book Club!
With slightly more than 50 percent of the vote, the winning book is…
My mom started reading this book last week and said it is awesome so far. I cannot wait to start!

YAY for engagements! Weddings are so much fun!
Gone Girl is AWESOME! You will love this book!
Oh my goodness, congratulations to your friends! My husband and I just celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary and it so exciting! I love being married! On another note, your car looks so cute. We are doing some serious car shopping trying to nail down the right vehicle. What do you and Ryan drive and do you like them?
I started reading Gone Girl a bit ago, and have been on a hiatus due to my addiction to the Olympics. I am so excited to read it with you all!
Oh- and I tried La Croix’s Coconut flavored sparkling water, and BLEGH! I love every other flavor, but Coconut and sparkling water DO NOT MIX!
Omg congrats to your friends!! I just got engaged last month and everyone in my office at the moment is engaged! It must be in the air! ;p
I have TRIED to make myself like the KeVita drinks (I’m not sure why-other than probiotics, nothing that great and they cost an arm and a leg). They seriously smell like rotten, rancid milk. What you need to try are the Mama Chia drinks (they have them at Whole Foods)!!!!! Hydrated chia seeds in juice=amazingness.
You know what armpit tastes like? Haha 😉 Naw that’s awesome for your friends! Lots of pre-wedding and wedding fun woohoo
I also bought coconut water (though mine was not sparkling) and I couldn’t believe that people even drink it! It is horrible! But I couldn’t justify throwing it away since I spent $5 on a bottled drink so I kept it in my fridge until I could figure out how to use it…smoothies!! I don’t know if it would work with the sparkling water, but I used it to mix up my smoothies and I couldn’t taste armpit at all! Not to mention it has some serious health benefits 🙂
Congratulations to them both!
Haha armpit! That sounds terrible. I have had coconut water a couple times and I have never tasted anything so foul. However when I had a fresh coconut and drank the water out of it it was amazing and delicious!
Just started reading Gone Girl last night. My husband and I just celebrated our 5th anniversary on August 4! Really enjoying your blog.
Ohh that egg scramble sounds delish! I’m always looking for new ways to cook mine—eggs just make me so darn happy. 🙂
JULIE! I GOT ENGAGED TOO!! Love is officially in the air! 🙂
ah!! congratulations! very exciting!!
