Friday is the beginning of the weekend and a day to relax and rejuvinate. Every Friday, I make time to do some of my favorite things. Here is what my Friday looks (and will) look like!

Run

I have been training for a half marathon and it’s been an exciting adventure! On Fridays, I run with one of our family friends, Mary Kate. We run through Peninsula State Park and not only enjoy each others company, but the view around us. Today, we ran a little over 5 miles! It was a gloomy and rainy morning. Many may think that indicates a bad day, but for us it meant getting cooled off from our run (go optimism). We started our run and 8am and were back by 9am! A perfect morning if you ask me.

Garden

Oh, gardening. It brings me so much joy. I watered my garden today, took photos of some of my flowers and picked some cherry tomatoes and bell peppers! My garden has been growing at such a rapid speed I can hardly keep up! Today, I made it a point to plant a tree in the backyard. The fresh veggies will go perfect with a salad tonight!

Bake A Cheesecake

The first time I made a cheesecake was for Nic two years ago. It turned out better than I expected! I found a recipe on Food Network that was super easy to follow! Today, I decided to go to the grocery store, buy ingredients and make a cheesecake for tonight!

Read

Today, I chose to read either Emily Giffin or Nicholas Sparks. Obviously, both romance novels. I am finishing up reading Emily Giffin’s book Something Borrowed and my next book lined up is True Believer by Nicholas Sparks.

Movie

Movie night! After a long week, having a movie night with a glass of wine is perfect! I love to cozy up with a blanket, have a glass of wine and relax. I haven’t picked a movie to watch yet with Nic and my family. I’m always open to suggestions! AND you know what else goes great with movie night? Cheesecake. 🙂

Happy Friday, everyone!
