Classy Southern Texan

Today I am liking up for What's Up Wednesday and sharing what has been going on lately....

What We're Eating This Week....

On my meal plan the last few weeks my trainer has had an egg muffin with either an egg added or jam. Talk about yummy!!! It is literally like having a sausage and egg muffin from McDonald's without all the added guilt. I also get greek yogurt, fruit and honey. Talk about a very filling, yummy breakfast.

Today I am linking up with Narci, Andrea and Erika as I do some Friday's for today's edition of Friday Favorites....

At the end of March, my hubby and I closed on a house in Temple, TX and can I say how happy my heart is to be back in the great state of TEXAS!!!!


This week I have been busy painting the laundry room and getting the appliances delivered. The house was built in the 60s and things are just bigger these days...example the fridge and washer/dryer.



While the week has been busy I still find it very important to prep my meals and here is an example of my fresh veggies and rice cooking.


P.S. I am at my parent's and I love my all my mom's Mackenzie Child's pieces such as her teapot.

Thursday my mom and I took a quick girls' trip to AUSTIN, TX and I just love the butterflies at Neiman Marcus!!! Butterflies always remind me of my grandmother who passed in High School and she loved Neiman's so I always think of her when I see them.


I got a few cute dresses and some tops and pants at Banana Republic I will be sure to show later. :-)

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

XOXO
Kelli

Today I am linking up with Shay, Sheaffer and Mel for What's Up Wednesday and answering these questions....

What We're Eating this Week...well in about 7 weeks the hubby and I are going to Disney World. I want to look lean and toned in my shorts and my swimsuit so I have been on my meal prep. I have 5 small meals a day that include protein (talipia, shrimp, chicken or turkey), rice and lots of veggies. I try to prepare all my food in advance so I am prepared for the week.

My favorite meal on my prep is always BREAKFAST. This week I get oatmeal with berries, Greek yogurt and honey!! YUMMY

What I'm reminiscing about...I am wishing I was on SPRING BREAK!! I used to be a school teacher and would enjoy the week either skiing or on a cruise.



What I'm Loving...

The warmer temperatures....I am loving it is cool in the morning and warmer in the afternoon. I have been enjoying wearing dresses and my favorite new GITA earrings from the Stella and Dot line.




What We've Been up to...packing and moving. I am in TX now...I also got my new car this week!!



What I'm Dreading...UNPACKING. We are closing on a house Friday and getting everything moved and settled will be a task. Boxes, boxes and more boxes.

What I'm Working On...I have started a new job and that is keeping me very busy. I am working with my father now and learning the business...more details later.

What I'm Excited About...

TEXAS!!! I love all the bluebonnets I see daily. I also am excited about the launch of Stella's Summer line there are so great new fun pieces!!



What I'm Waching/Reading

Grey's and Scandal



What I'm Listening To..

What every is on the radio and the Trolls and Sing soundtracks while running. :-)


What I'm wearing...

lots of dresses and fun new SPRING things. :-)

What I'm doing this weekend...

Closing on my house in TX and having a date night with the hubby!

What I'm looking forward to next month...

EASTER

Just busy, busy, busy trying to manage moving, a new house and a new JOB.

Today I am linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea for Friday Favorites!!! Happy FRIYAY!!


Tuesday, evening I watched the final episode of This is Us and I have to say I wasn't very impressed. I mean the last 2-3 episodes I have literally cried pretty much the whole time and I felt like the season finale was just BLAH!! Anyone else feel the same way?


I don't truly know how I am feeling about the time change...I will so be looking forward to it this summer when I am up later watching baseball, and grilling dinner outside but right now ahhh I don't like waking up when it is dark.

The gym I worked at back in Shreveport got voted the best classes and instructors....I was very blessed while living in Shreveport to workout here and also teach. I am proud of the owner Lauren and all the fabulous instructors.


Who else is excited for Beauty and the Beast?!?! I am hoping to go see it this weekend. :-)


Lately, on repeat I have been listening to the Trolls, Sing and Wicked Soundtracks and just signing along and dancing. The songs are all so upbeat and fun!



Stella and Dot new releases have launched and I am loving the new white tassels and sneak peak this adorable clutch for the SUMMER!!

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E...Mickey Mouse...Mickey Mouse and of course Minnie too!!!

Thank you to my fabulous friend Ashley and her travel guidance we are gearing up for our trip to Disney World at the beginning of May.

My husband hasn't been to Disney since Middle School and I haven't been since college. In our 8 years of marriage we have never been to a Fair or an amusement park. CRAZY but TRUE!!

This past week, we booked our Fast Passes and I am beyond excited about some of the rides we choose!!

 
Soarin' is a new ride at EPCOT where you basically hang glide...I am super pumped about this ride!! I am sure we will also enjoy the test track at Disney but we didn't book a fast pass for it.

When I was a kid, I didn't particularly enjoy EPCOT...however the last time I went they had added rides and I enjoyed learning more about the different cultures. I have eaten at both the Japanese and Chinese restaurants at EPCOT and I honestly don't know which one I would say is better. I enjoyed them both!!!


When we visit Animal Kingdom we have a Fast Pass for Expedition Everest...I don't remember this particular ride the last time I was there so I am excited to try it out.

 
At Hollywood Studios we are riding one of my all-time favorites...Rock n' Roller coaster featuring Aerosmith!!
 
 
Who doesn't love MAGIC KINGDOM!! Cinderella's Castle, Mickey and Minnie, the fireworks show and Tinkerbelle to just mention a few of my favorites.
 
 
 
Next up....what to pack for DISNEY?!
