Two weeks in pictures......

The last two weeks have been a blur, filled with lots of fun and family. Kevin had a great MRI this past week and we are so thankful. 

Here's what we've been doing....

Last weekend we celebrated with dinner at Ruth Chris in Dallas. 

The cake and lobster Mac and Cheese was my favorite. 

Then we headed to do our weekly grocery shopping at my favorite store. 

Kevin's family celebrated their monthy birthdays with a bowling party. 

I won a game, which was a miracle. 

Kevin and I've been staying on track with healthy eating and exercise this week. I love running with Kevin (other than him pushing me to go faster). 

Happy Monday! 

July Fourth Twenty-Fourteen

We had a happy 4th of July filled with lots of food and family. 

I took the day off Thursday and spent it shopping with my mom. 

Friday morning I got up and met Megan at White Rock for an early workout. A great way to start my Holiday weekend. 

I was a hot mess on the drive home, I literally could smell the sweat. I might have even stopped by Starbucks on the way home for a Peach Green Tea Lemonade {heaven in a glass}. 

I got home as Kevin was getting out of bed {which made me so happy he was able to sleep in}. We spent the day being super lazy, watching movies and napping. 

We headed to North Texas later that night to meet friends and family for the fireworks show. 

I love the Fourth, fireworks and spending time with this guy. My heart is so full from spending three days straight with him. 

Sister in law selfie. Lucky to have such a sweet sister in law. 

I even got a chance to visit with one of my sweet sorority sisters. We've been friends since we were freshmen in high school. 

Uncle P and Kevin had fun passing time before the fireworks show. 

Saturday we treated ourselves to mini blizzards. It was hot so it was the perfect treat. 

Saturday night we went to Kevin's parents house for fireworks with his family. They let the kids light them and it's always so exciting to watch their reactions. 

Sometimes boots and shorts are the appropriate holiday outfit. Especially John Deere Boots. 

Sunday went by so fast. We got up and headed to church, lunch with my parents, afternoon errands and then before I knew it it's dark. My parents had a birthday party for my sister (and me even though mine was months ago, better late than never). A hot pink Barbie cake is always appropriate for those over the age of 30, right?

Goals for this week are to eat healthy with no processed sugars, drinking lots of water and enjoy the summer {before it's over}. 

Happy Tuesday! ❤️

How do you take your coffee?

I've been pretty open with our lives and all the things Kevin and I've done for our health. I'm about to take it one step further, this post is a whole new level of openness.

Ever hear of a coffee enema {yes, you read that correctly}. Before I go further let me say we asked Kevin's doctor before we did this and she said she didn't really believe it had any benefit but it wouldn't harm him. It was recommended by a holistic person we see and love here in Denton. It took Kevin two months of considering it before doing it. I will say his doctor has referred us to a couple mushroom supplements and crazy vitamins so she's open to new things. 

We are a team, so I did it too. Clearly not at the same time, but same day. What is it you ask? Let me fill you in on the details. 

You take organic coffee beans, grind them and boil them in water. You let that cool and strain out the grinds. While it cools you take a castrol oil soaked cloth to your liver and lay a heating lad on it. Holding it on around 30 mins. Once the coffee mixture cools you fill up your bucket, lay down in the bathroom and let gravity take it's course. You use as much as possible and hold it at least 15 mins. Your tummy cramps and then it all flows out. It really wasn't that bad and we both felt really good after. Kevin actually felt so good that we went out to dinner and stayed out and about with his family until 10:30 pm that night. That's amazing, especially after chemo, he never feels like that a couple days after chemo. Not sure if it really cleanses your liver but it does clean you out. Like squeaky clean and your house will smell like Starbucks. Weird combo, right. 

Kevin also had reflexology this weekend too and I'm a firm believer that it helps. It relaxes him so much, and really what more could you want. I love the essential oils she uses and we use them at home too. 

We didn't just do hippie things all weekend. No, no we rednecked it up too. Saturday night Kevin wanted a treat so he got a blizzard on the way to his parents house. And so did I. The mini blizzards are the perfect size. DQ is the Texas stop sign. 

We picked veggies from his dad's garden, played with Pierson outside on the golf cart and watch fireworks. A perfect Saturday night with the family. 

Who doesn't love some sparklers. We love the Fourth and I can't wait for more fireworks this weekend. Especially looking forward to spending more time with our families. 

Back to the coffee enema, there is a lot of info out there on it. Bottom {pun intended} line, you've gotta do what's best for you and what's okay with your doctors. We found it beneficial and we'd both do it again. 

Hope you have a happy Fourth!
