Week(end) Adventures: Polar Bears in San Antonio

By 11:41 PM , , , , , ,


Okay, so there weren't polar bears in San Antonio. Sorry for pulling the white over your eyes! (So, I am cheesy.) Our weekend was pretty uneventful because the temperatures dropped to the low 20's with sleet and freezing rain. Floridians and even Southern Texans do not handle this well. This place was a ghost town. So what does a sleet day mean to the Ogre/Fiona household? Cleaning Day.

SNAPSHOTS:
1. Our new space heater. The temperatures during the week got colder and come Friday, M was begging to get a space heater. Luckily, I had been hoarding a Bed Bath & beyond coupon and one of their 20% off mail offers. So, right after work on Friday, M&I went out and purchased our first space heater. That frown was turned upside down! :) Not to mention, Old Navy was having a buy two clearance items, get one free! M was in desperate need of warmer clothing that is appropriate for work, so we got some sweaters for him and myself.

2. Our massive overhaul. I recently discovered un-fancy, a Texas based fashion blog. Un-fancy decided to do a capsule wardrobe where she only wears 37 pieces for a three month season to allow longer life in her clothes and creativity in the pieces she owns! During that season, she stores her other clothing for another capsule.  I was totally inspired and decided to try my variation. In doing so, M&I cleaned out our entire closet, dressers, and storage. Together, we rid our closest of 8 (E-I-G-H-T) garbage bags of clothing, shoes, and accessories. I would say that 75% of it was mine.

3. Northrock Church. We are in the process of becoming proud members of Northrock church. After a few months of trying to find our new San Antonio church home, we have found a place that we feel God is calling us to serve. Yesterday, we attended the second session of Growth Track learning about our spiritual gifts and how they can benefit his Kingdom! So exciting!

4. PBB&J Roll-up. I made a fun delicious and super healthful snack over the weekend! I'll be sharing a more detailed post soon.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
I recently have joined some new online communities. So, here are part one and two of my short story:
1. From Raybans...
2. ...To Rodeos.
3. Our Apartment Tour

GREAT FINDS:
1. This. I made this yummy crock pot concoction filled with quinoa, cheese, taco seasoning, onion, tomatoes, and jalapeños! It was super easy, super filling, and super delicious!
2. For My Valentine. Valentines Day, M's Birthday, and our Anniversary is right around the corner. Check out my Pinterest board and let me know if you have any ideas.
3. Local 5k. M&I will participating in a local 5k to support Kinetic Kids. Kinetic Kids provides opportunities for children with disabilities to participate in sports and other recreational activities. Healthy living and youth in sports is super important to M&I.

Cold weather swept across this entire country over the weekend. 
How did you spend your days in the chilly weather?!
